Princess Anne’s Unusual Breakfast Habit Sparks Controversy

Princess Anne, known for her unconventional eating habits, has raised eyebrows once again with her peculiar banana-eating style.

According to former royal chef Darren McGrady, the Princess Royal starts her day with a bowl of fruit, particularly enjoying bananas.

However, it is not the mere act of consuming bananas that is causing a stir but rather the way in which she prefers them.

McGrady revealed that Princess Anne has a rather peculiar and somewhat stomach-churning method of eating bananas – she likes them past their prime.

The former royal chef explained that the Princess always opts for almost black, overripe bananas because they are easier to digest and provide a quick sugar boost to kickstart her metabolism.

While the idea of eating overripe bananas may not sound appealing to many, research actually supports Princess Anne's choice.

Studies indicate that as a banana ripens and turns brown, the starch and chlorophyll in the fruit convert into sugar, making it sweeter.

Additionally, the breakdown of chlorophyll in older bananas leads to a rise in antioxidant levels, turning fully brown bananas into nutritional powerhouses.

Apart from her unusual banana preference, Princess Anne's breakfast routine also includes another unconventional aspect – her use of silverware.

It is a longstanding tradition that members of the royal family, including senior royals like Princess Anne, must never eat without using proper cutlery.

This means that even a simple fruit like a banana must be sliced and eaten with a knife and fork.

McGrady provided insight into Princess Anne's banana-eating ritual, explaining that the ends of the banana are first removed before the peel is sliced lengthwise to open the fruit.
