According to the Mirror the Duchess, 74, told schoolchildren during a 2013 visit: “I tell you what I really like: eating peas straight from the garden.” She added: “If you take them straight from their pods, they’re delicious, really sweet.
“I take all my grandchildren into the garden and they spend hours and hours eating peas.”
“They eat them and eat them until they’re almost sick.”
Camilla has ten grandchildren – including five from her first marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles.
In August Camilla made an appearance on BBC Two’s Gardeners’ World – and opened up to show host Monty Don about the challenges of dealing with some pesky vermin in her vegetable patch.
Joining Mr Don at Longmeadow, she explained how mice and voles had eaten her precious crop.
The Duchess said: “I’m very lucky I’ve got a big vegetable garden, but you get the mice, the voles this year, all ate the asparagus roots and then they got into the strawberries, so you can never win – there’s always something.”
Darren McGrady, 59, also spoke about the Queen’s eating patterns. He revealed the Queen’s unusual eating habit in his book Eating Royally: Recipes and Remembrances from a Palace Kitchen.
Mr McGrady, who served as Her Majesty’s personal chef from 1982 to 1993, explained how the Queen would eat breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.

The royal chef went on to reveal how the 95-year-old monarch would jot down notes if she did not enjoy a meal.
“She had a little book on her desk and she would just put a note in there saying ‘I don’t want this again’ or something like that.”
