Yep, according to Readers Digest, Her Majesty will only eat sandwiches with rounded edges, instead of ones with edges at right angles.
While, it may sound unusual, it is actually rumoured to be a long-held tradition that dates back to Queen Victoria’s husband Albert.
Prince Albert is said to have believed that it is bad luck to eat food that is shaped like a coffin, and it became a tradition that stuck.
What’s more, it isn’t the only unusual eating habit the Queen has. She is also rumoured to have her potatoes measured before they are used.
This is reportedly done to ensure that all her potatoes are of a similar dimension, so it doesn’t ruin the appearance of the Queen’s dish.
Her son, Prince Charles is also reported to have unusual eating habits including having his biscuits warmed to a certain temperature before eating them.
His staff reportedly even have a warming pan with them to ensure the biscuits are the perfect temperature to go with his cheese.
And, while it isn’t food related Charles is also said to have a unique dressing routine in the morning.
The publication suggests that he has three personal valets who maintain his wardrobe, which is said to include ironing the shoelaces on every pair of shoes he owns.
