Latest news:Former Royal Chef and Butler Reveal How King Charles and Family Celebrate Easter, From “Beautiful” Gifts to a Lavish Lunch read more

Like many families around the world, the British royals gather together for a traditional Easter meal after attending church. While Kate Middleton and Prince William are skipping this year’s service at St.

George’s Chapel, King Charles, Queen Camilla and other members of the Royal Family will be present on Easter Sunday—and according to former royal staffers, they’re in store for quite the feast afterward.

Darren McGrady—who served as a palace chef for 15 years—told OK! that the royals sit down to a lavish lunch together. “We’d go straight into the main course—a traditional roast lamb with seasonal vegetable,” he revealed.

The former royal chef shared that he’d also prepare “a compound salad served in a kidney dish attached to the plate,” which consisted of “lettuce and cucumber with a little mint or some grated carrot and coriander.”

A second course would include a special treat grown right on the Windsor Castle estate. “The most incredible sweet white Windsor peaches grew on the estate too in my day,” he recalled. “We’d have to lock them away in the kitchens because everyone wanted to taste them.”

Instead of posh cakes or other desserts, the royals actually stick to an Easter tradition when it comes to sweets.

McGrady told the publication that King Charles and family eat chocolate easter eggs from Charbonnel et Walker. The chocolates are handcrafted in the U.K. from the historic shop, which was founded in London in 1875 and granted a royal warrant.
