This is everything the Queen eats in a day

    While you may assume her Royal Majesty the Queen enjoys fine dining every day, this isn't always the case. According to The Telegraph, twice a week the head chef to the royal household, Mark Flanagan, provides the Queen with menu suggestion which she can approve by ticking off or crossing out. However, Darren McGrady, a former chef in the royal kitchens, said that the Queen is not a foodie. She eats to live, unlike Prince Philip who loves to eat and would stand and talk food all day.

    A defiant Steve Bannon declared the Trump presidency he had campaigned for was over as he vowed to carry on the fight after being ousted as the White House chief strategist.
