Hey there! Let’s dive into the world of Queen Elizabeth and uncover some of her lesser-known traits. Even the most iconic figures have their own little quirks and secrets, and our beloved Queen is no exception. For instance, did you know that she’s incredibly frugal? According to Paul Burrell, the late Princess Diana's former butler, in an exclusive interview with Closer Weekly, the Queen isn't one to splash out on extravagances.
In fact, Paul revealed that the Queen often walks through the corridors of her majestic residences turning off lights to save energy. Now, that’s dedication to conserving resources! And it doesn’t stop there—she’s also mindful about everyday items like paper, ribbons, and rubber bands.
Simple Living, Royal Style
Queen Elizabeth’s lifestyle is anything but extravagant. Darren McGrady, her former chef and author of Eating Royally: Recipes and Remembrances From a Palace Kitchen, shared an interesting insight. One day, she could be dining on fine china at Buckingham Palace, and the next, she's enjoying a meal from a humble plastic Tupperware container at her Scottish estate.

This simplicity extends to her approach to food as well. Darren noted that the Queen eats to live, not the other way around. She’s not the type to indulge in gourmet feasts or chase culinary trends. Her focus is more on practicality and sustenance rather than indulgence.
However, there is one indulgence that Queen Elizabeth simply can’t resist—chocolate! “She has a particular fondness for anything with dark chocolate,” Darren shared. This sweet tooth adds a delightful human touch to the otherwise regal persona of the Queen.
Unveiling the Queen’s Hidden Talents
Angela Kelly, the Queen’s long-time confidante, is about to blow everyone’s minds with her new book, The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobe. In it, she sheds light on the Queen’s more playful side, such as her love for comedy.
According to Angela, the Queen has a wicked sense of humor and is a fantastic mimic. “She can do all accents — including mine!” Angela exclaimed. Paul Burrell chimed in, saying, “She can captivate the entire household with a perfect accent, whether it be from Scotland or the East End of London.”
It’s hard not to admire Her Majesty with so many hidden talents. “I love the queen and everything about her,” Angela couldn’t help but express. Being so close to the Queen allows her to see how much her fans truly adore her.
