Although spaghetti carbonara is a universally loved meal, this is actually a dish that could cause some problems for the Royals. There are many common foods the Royal Family are banned from eating, and garlic is a key ingredient that is frequently banned from menus in Buckingham Palace and other royal residences. This is because garlic can cause bad breath and as a royal, this is a big no-no, particularly when you're hosting a dinner or attending an engagement that requires you to talk to a lot of people. 

In addition, spaghetti is a tricky food to eat neatly and the chances of splattering yourself with sauce are very high if you're not prepared to take your time carefully and elegantly eating each mouthful - which is quite a tall order for a child! So perhaps it's best that the Prince continues to enjoy this meal from the comfort of his own home where he can be as messy as he pleases!

Aldo added that he was a 'big fan of the Royal Family' and described Prince William as an 'absolute gent'. He also added that he'd be happy to make the future King a carbonara anytime he liked. "'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!" he said.

Kate Middleton once revealed Princess Charlotte's favourite snack is olives. The Princess of Wales revealed this unusual snack during a royal engagement in 2021 when she visited Lavender Primary School in Enfield to mark mental health awareness week. At the time, Royal correspondent Rebecca English (who was at the event) tweeted, "The Duchess of Cambridge revealed today that her daughter, Princess Charlotte, loves olives and that she encourages both her and Prince George to cook with her."

Of course, olives are an acquired taste for many, so royal fans were rather impressed by the youngster's mature palate. 

During filming for Mary Berry's Christmas special in 2019, Kate revealed that her youngest son, Prince Louis, has a penchant for a certain bright purple vegetable that can cause vivid stains. The Princess said in passing at the time, "We've got carrots, beans, beetroot - a massive favourite - Louis absolutely loves beetroots." Like his sister, this is somewhat of an acquired taste as many are put off by this root vegetable's earthy flavour.
