Meghan Markle may have accidentally validated a story that has been going around for a long time about her husband, Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, came out earlier this year and is already a hit.
There are a lot of cooking segments and celebrity guests on the show. It also gives a close look into the 44-year-old’s life as a wife and mother of two in Montecito, California.
The next season, which comes out on August 26, promises more of the same, including a moment when Markle talks about her husband’s strange eating habits.
In the clip, Markle revealed to Spanish-American chef José Andrés that Prince Harry is not a fan of lobster.
Is there anyone you know who doesn’t like lobster? Andrés is asked. “My husband.” “And you married him?” Andrés says, causing her to laugh at the lighthearted exchange.
This comment, which seems like a casual one, has brought back the long-running idea that members of the royal family stay away from several kinds of seafood, especially shellfish, because they might get sick from eating it.
Grant Harrold, who used to be King Charles III’s royal butler, told The Express that seafood is generally avoided at formal royal events or when the royals are out in public to lower the danger of becoming sick from eating, especially when they are traveling abroad.
Harrold remarked, “We don’t want a member of the Royal Family to have a bad reaction to food poisoning.”
Even though most people think this is a rule, it has been broken before. At the Whitstable Oyster Festival in 2013, King Charles and Camilla were seen eating oysters.
Hello magazine said that royal chef Darren McGrady recently put an end to the myth by providing a menu from 1989 that showed Queen Elizabeth II eating lobster soufflé at Windsor Castle.
The Duke of Sussex may have his own tastes in food, but his wife and kids like to keep things simple at home.
The former Suits actress has told PEOPLE before that bacon, eggs, and even frozen waffles are their go-to breakfasts when they don’t have much time.
She mentioned there was a lot of bacon around here and that Archie, like Harry, loves fried eggs.
After Netflix said they were extending their deal with the royal couple, the trailer for the second season of With Love, starring Meghan, came out.
The two want to expand their production company, Archewell Productions, to incorporate new types of content. This fits with their goal of making thought-provoking content in a wide range of genres.
