Let’s be honest here. If Meghan Markle didn’t marry into the royal family, it’d be unlikely that she’d be tight with Queen Elizabeth II. The two are both incredible women, but they’ve got slightly different views in terms of food and social etiquette.
Markle has been doing a good job of trying to respect the royal rules. But, she’s also proven that she’s her own woman. Certain wedding traditions went out the window when she married Prince Harry. Luckily, the wedding was still a beautiful — and heavily viewed — event.
There’ve been rumors that Markle and the queen may have butted heads when it came to certain things, but to be fair, that’s somewhat of a common occurrence with families. Queen Elizabeth is surely protective of her title and her grandchildren, so it makes sense that the relationship isn’t perfect.
Markle, who enjoys cooking, is big on flavorful foods and guilty pleasures. The queen, however, eats more of a bland-yet-functional diet. So it’s not the actual food they have in common, as much as the tradition of sitting down together and enjoying a meal. Even if it’s just tea. Or, a little bit of toast.

Markle is notorious for sharing similar views. In fact, the Duchess helped put together a cookbook called Together: Our Community Cookbook, which went on to win the André Simon Special Commendation Award in the U.K.
The book centers around how cooking can help aid a community. After the Grenfell Tower fire in London, a bunch of local women bonded together. They helped their neighborhood by cooking meals for those in need, serving as the perfect inspiration for the cookbook.
“It’s a rare and beautiful book which shows the power of cooking and eating together as a way to connect, share, love – and in this case, grieve and heal,” said Meera Sodha, one of the assessors for the André Simon Awards.
One of the best parts about the cookbook is that they were able to express themselves while doing something incredible. Thanks to these women, so many people were fed foods from the heart.
Ok so I know it's a meme with millennials and their avocado toast but... guacamole actually makes everything better. 🥑

The Queen probably prefers her toast the standard way, especially since it’s often common to add garlic and onions to avocados to turn it into guacamole. Those are two of her least favorite foods.
A palace spokesperson reportedly said that the queen wanted to welcome people of all religious backgrounds in order to thank them. She also wanted to “celebrate the work being done to support people of all ages and backgrounds.”

Even though her own diet may seem a little bland in comparison to the foods Markle enjoya, she must be doing something right. Especially since Queen Elizabeth is also known for having a couple of alcoholic drinks throughout the day.
If an event like this made such a splash, can you imagine what a feast held by Markle would look like? That’s one event invitation you’d surely want to get.
