1. Meghan Markle loves wine.
Sure, yes, don't we all, etc., but she actually told Delish pre-Harry that vino is one of her vices. She, of course, loves Tignanello so much she named her now-defunct lifestyle site after it, but noted "in the summer though, when I'm out with my friends, it's rosé all day."

2. She's big on water first thing in the morning.
Hot water with lemon, specifically. On shoot days (#TBT Suits, omg), she'd follow that up with steel-cut oatmeal with bananas.
3. She might green juice, if she's feeling it.
Meghan will do the green juice thing if she's feeling peckish, but she noted "green juice is a food-as-medicine philosophy for me." It's certainly not her fave.
4. She's not opposed to further snacking.
If all the above doesn't cut it, she's really into almonds as a healthy and filling snack.
5. Hiatus meant "all bets [were] off".
"I'm always hoping I'm having lunch with people, so we can share fries. It's its own food group for me," Meghan said. Yes. The Duchess loves her some fries whenever she can get her hands on them. Stars: They're just like us!
6. If fries don't cut it, she'll make poutine.
Having spent years in Canada shooting Suits, Meghan mastered poutine. Mozz is not the way to top it all off, she said. "It's got to squeak when you bite into it. Really. The cheese curds should make a squeaking noise when you bite into them or squeeze them. That's how you know you've got the right kind."
7. Dinner is generally a lighter fare.
If she goes all in on lunch, she's usually "peckish" around dinner time. She named soup as a usual option for later in the day.

8. She's a grill master.
Meghan likes steak. In fact, her little-known steak hack is to squeeze lemon all up on the meat right before serving: "It really brings out the steak's flavour."
9. She's cut one staple from her rotation.
Yeah, Meghan isn't allowed to have garlic anymore, especially not ahead of royal visits. That's because (1) it's not really nice to have bad breath, per royal protocol and (2) the Queen just haaates it.
10. Camilla doesn't follow that rule, though!
Maybe it's that she's been thoroughly immersed in #RoyalLiving for a lot longer than Meghan has, but the Duchess of Cornwall reportedly loves spicy and garlic-laden foods, eating them whenever she can.
11. Oh, and Meghan's pretty much gluten-free.
Though she is 100 percent down to try pasta in new places, she pointed to going gluten-free as what really helped her skin start glowing.
12. Meghan heavily influences Harry's new food routine.
He reportedly swore off pizza - a staple of his lil royal life! - long before the wedding. He's also said to have cut out carbs almost entirely, at least leading up to his wedding.
13. Kate Middleton is more of a dinner gal.
She's said to enjoy curry - both making it and eating it. She'll make it not just for her family, but also for any guests who come over.
14. She, too, dieted ahead of her wedding.
Kate reportedly stuck to a super high-protein, low-card regimen before her 2011 wedding to William. It's unclear if Kate still maintains this routine, but she was said to be super strict with it around that time.
15. She loves holiday food.
And she's really crazy about traditional family recipes.
16. She looks to raw foods to lose weight.
Post-Princess Charlotte, Kate supposedly turned to a more fruit-and-vegetable-forward routine. She was said to be super into ceviche, goji berries, gazpacho, watermelon salad, almond milk and tabbouleh after giving birth, not only because it was delish, but also because it helped her lose the weight she wanted to get rid of.

17. She's never mad about dessert.
Again, she's really into holiday foods, meaning come time for Christmas feasting, she's all about the cakes and pastries and batches of other sweet stuff that's involved. Yes, Kate! ILY, Kate!!
18. Nor does she shy away from gaining weight the healthy way.
Kate famously battled hyperemesis gravidarum during her pregnancies, which made it incredibly difficult for her to gain the weight needed to sustain herself. During those periods, she constantly turned to meals filled with healthy fats, like avocados, berries, and oatmeal.
19. She loves to try new things.
Of geoduck, she said, "It's really unusual. I've never seen it before. It's so fresh from the sea."
20. Tea comes with a side, as well.
She's really into a jam roly-poly or sticky toffee pudding accompaniment, for example. Yas, Kate, yas.
21. The Queen starts her day with tea. Always.
And tea comes with biscuits. To mix it up, she'll eat "toast and marmalade or, on special occasions, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and a grating of truffle," The Telegraph reports. Oh, and "she prefers brown eggs because she thinks they taste better."
22. Then the drinking commences.
Pre-lunch is when Lilibet gets into her first drink of the day, which is typically a wine-based aperitif. Afterward, she'll typically have a fish and some veggies for lunch. No starch, though. No starch almost ever!
23. High tea is also always a must.
That typically features two kinds of sandwiches: a sweet one and a savoury one. And, you know, maybe a drink.
24. Dinner and dessert follow.
Though the protein may vary, the Queen sticks to the same meat-and-veggies format for the most part (with the meat very well done, always). She also requires dark chocolate - in almost any form - for dessert. It's her absolute favourite food.

25. A martini with dinner is a must.
Super dry. Or else!
26. Oh, and don't forget the champagne.
It comes after dessert and caps off her four-drink quota per day.
27. Prince Philip is always mixing it up.
He's long been known as the family's most adventurous eater, no matter where he is.
28. He's never been into organic foods, though.
The royal family's former chef Darren McGrady told Marie Claire Philip would always scoff at Prince Charles's organic choices:
We used to get a hamper [full of food and treats] from Harrods - a thank you gift for shopping with them. Prince Philip came into the kitchen and there were two hampers. He said, 'Oh, is this a Harrods hamper' I said, 'No, your highness, this is a hamper the Prince of Wales brought with him.' He looked puzzled so I opened it up and I said, 'It's all organic.' And he said, 'Oh, bloody organic!' And just shook his head and walked out.
29. William and Harry used to be all about fast food.
Though McGrady also noted Princess Diana was the healthiest eater of the royal bunch, he said it was important to her that William and Harry could just "be boys." That meant lots of McDonald's throughout their childhood. It was their absolute fave.
