The most impressive royal kitchens of all time: Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Sophie Wessex, Prince Edward, more

With her own team of 20 top chefs and special occasions to cater for, including royal weddings, it's little surprise that the kitchens in the Queen's royal residences are more like restaurant kitchens than one in a family home. The vast kitchens in Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle (where she has spent the festive period and will have had Christmas dinner made) are filled with historic kitchenware dating back as far as the 19th century, and she's not the only one with a stunning space to cook. Take a peek inside some of the most impressive royal kitchens, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's former LA space, and prepare for a little kitchen envy…

Prince Edward and Sophie's kitchen at Bagshot Park

Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex have given several glimpses inside their royal residence of Bagshot Park as they continue to work from home during the coronavirus pandemic. The mother-of-two sat in a corner of her kitchen for a video call, alongside open shelving with a telephone and selection of vases and ornaments on display. The family appear to have a classic dark navy fitted kitchen, with glass-fronted cabinets behind the Countess showing some of their fine china including an assortment of teapots and teacups and saucers on glass shelving.

Prince Harry and Meghan's kitchen at their former Los Angeles home

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their son Archie stayed at Tyler Perry's Los Angeles mansion while they hunted for a permanent property, and photos previously shared by the actor on Instagram have given a peek at the kitchen the couple would have used during their stay.

It features a top-of-the-range Wolf oven below a marble hood, with a sign that reads: "Only Believe" on the wall. The kitchen has wooden cabinets and marble worktops, with an island unit at the middle featuring copper saucepans hanging overhead.

We are yet to see inside the kitchen of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new £11.2million Santa Barbara home, however, judging on the glimpses we have had of their chic living room, we predict it is every inch as luxurious.

The Queen's kitchen at Buckingham Palace

We got a look inside the kitchens at Buckingham Palace when baker Sophie Cabot prepared Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's royal wedding cake in 2018. The huge kitchens have a marble-topped unit where the baker could prepare the ingredients, with a huge array of baking tins hanging on the wall. The space is designed for cooking on a mass scale, with several different ovens and appliances lining the walls and tiled flooring that is easy to keep clean.

Copper saucepans dating back as far as King George IV's reign are stacked on racks in the Buckingham Palace kitchens.

The kitchens are comparable to those you would find in a restaurant, with lots of staff working across various different areas, with stainless steel fittings throughout.

The Queen's kitchen at Windsor Castle

The Queen's Windsor Castle kitchen is incredibly spacious, with checkered flooring, white brick walls and double-height ceilings. There are various wooden workstations with stainless steel worktops, with ovens and hobs lining one wall. Copper pans, baking tins and trays hang around the room, while a selection of herbs, spices and condiments are on display on open shelving.

Just like at Buckingham Palace, a selection of copper saucepans, colanders and teapots are out on display. A large stags head on the wall adds a decorative touch.

Princess Marie-Chantal's kitchen in the Cotswolds

The kitchen in the Greek royals' Cotswolds home, meanwhile, has a rustic country vibe. Cream cabinets and walls are offset by stone flooring and a large wooden breakfast bar lined with stools for the family to sit and eat together.
