Queen Elizabeth's 'special menu' for the past 91 years

Chef Darren McGrady, who served as the personal to Queen Elizabeth II along with Princess Diana, Prince William, and Prince Harry for almost 15 years, once shared through his YouTube channel that the Queen eats the same breakfast pretty much every day since she was five years old. 

According to him, she usually prefers simple dishes and thus used to have Earl Grey tea and a bowl of Special K cereal almost every day. In addition to that, the Queen was also dedicated to her favorite 'jam penny' sandwich which she faithfully had for her entire life. 

Speaking about the Queen's favourite sandwich, McGrady also revealed that it was a simple dish that included only three items - bread, butter, and jam, to be specific 'strawberry jam' which was made at the Balmoral Castle with fine Scottish strawberries from the garden.
