The Duchess of Sussex revealed that her husband, Prince Harry, is not a fan of lobster in the season two trailer of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, but it's not the only unusual food habit of the Duke of Sussex.
In a previous interview with HELLO!, former chef to the late Princess Diana and her sons William and Harry, Darren McGrady, revealed the boys' favourite dessert.

Now he lives in the US, he is also more likely to have banana ice cream readily available to him, as, without a private chef, banana ice cream can be hard to come by, as it is not often sold in British supermarkets.

A nostalgic choice
Renae Smith, food consultant and former MasterChef contestant, says Harry's favourite ice cream flavour doesn't just speak to his sweet tooth.

"Banana is actually a flavour many of us grow out of, but for someone like Harry, who's spoken openly about grief, memory, and connection, I wouldn't be surprised if he still craves that link to the past," she adds.

So whether he's going old-school or taking the wellness route, banana's a flavour that clearly still resonates with him."
Harry's go-to breakfast
While Meghan may not be whipping up lobster for date night any time soon, she has previously revealed some of her husband's dietary staples.
