When it comes to what meal is ‘fit for a Queen’, Angela replied: ‘Anything and everything.’<\/p>\n
She revealed that Camilla was ‘was like every other guest [she’s] ever cooked for’, saying ‘whatever is made for her, she’ll eat’.<\/p>\n
Angela added: ‘I think when you get to a certain age, without being rude, of course, and you\u2019re as busy as she is with so many engagements, you\u2019ll eat whatever is simple and easy.’<\/p>\n
When it comes to what the pair spoke about when they met, Angela says they conversed about Jack Russell dogs, as they both have one.<\/p>\n
She added: ‘When mine, Betty, went missing last year, Camilla was asking everyone whether she had been found \u2013 and she\u2019s met Betty now.’<\/p>\n
The admiration Angela has for Camilla appears to be mutual.<\/p>\n
In a 2022 interview\u00a0by her son, Tom Parker-Bowles, for You magazine, she said her last supper would probably involve her own asparagus, with lots of butter.<\/span><\/p>\n It would also feature\u00a0Angela Hartnett\u2019s risotto.\u00a0‘I love her cooking,’ said Camilla.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Queen Camilla (pictured in France last week) has some simple tastes when it comes to food – but is a big fan of Angela Hartnett’s risotto and good claret<\/p>\n She added the rest of her last supper would include: ‘Dover sole meuni\u00e9re, with ratte potatoes and fresh broad beans and peas from the garden.’<\/span><\/p>\n For pudding, she would opt for\u00a0bitter chocolate ice cream, plus strawberries and raspberries and lots of clotted cream.<\/span><\/p>\n And she would wash it down with a glass (probably two, she joked, as it was her last meal) of ‘really good’ red claret.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When it comes to her favourite foods, the Queen has some perhaps surprisingly simple tastes.<\/span><\/p>\n She has previously been reported as saying that baked beans on toast is one of her favourites, as well as\u00a0fish and chips, saying ‘you cannot beat proper fish and chips’.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
