While most 11 year olds would probably brand the likes of chicken nuggets, pizza and chips as their favourite foods, Prince George is said to have a much more sophisticated palette. According to celebrity chef Aldo Zilli, the young prince is quite fond of Italian food, but a classic Margherita pizza isn’t his go-to meal.
“If George has my carbonara, he will never have another one, so I need to go and make it, let’s get the ball rolling, send me to the palace to cook!” It’s no wonder George has such a mature palette, as his £18,915 a year school gives its students an array of worldly meals – a far cry from the tray bake cakes and fish fingers most of us will have had as kids.
According to MyLondon, the Prince and his fellow students are treated to meals such as vegetable and bean jambalaya, Spanish omelette and a Mexican rice wrap, as well as cheddar and caramelized red onion quiche served with new potatoes.
Carbonara isn’t the only surprising thing George’s sophisticated palette has attempted – he’s also been challenged by Bear Grylls to eat an ant before. Speaking on Good Morning Britain a few years ago, Bear recalled the moment he met the young Royal.
“We were chatting and just as we were chatting a stream of ants went across his feet,” Bear explained. “He looked at me with those amazing little wide eyes and I said, ‘come on, we’ve got to eat one!’
