... and get the truth here! - by Amy Sinclair

When Kate joined schoolchildren in the London district of Islington to make pizza in an open air kitchen today, she probably didn’t think she was going to be hit with one of the toughest questions ever.

Chatting away with little Nadirah, the Duchess of Cambridge was left stumped when the eight-year-old asked: ‘Has the Queen ever eaten pizza?’

So DOES the Queen eat pizza? Hear Kate’s adorable response!

After taking a moment to think, a perplexed Kate said: ‘That’s such a good question, I don’t know. Maybe next time I see her shall I ask?’

It was an adorable, honest response to the little girl’s question - but it’s left us to wonder, what IS the answer?

Well former Buckingham Palace chef Darren McGrady knows all about the Queen’s eating habits and reveals that she is not a fan of the snack.

Speaking to the MailOnline he said: 'I cooked for The Queen for eleven years and never served her pizza once.

'The Queen didn’t even have it on the menu when we were in Palermo, Sicily on HMY Britannia. The chefs had to go ashore after royal dinner to try it.'

The former royal chef did go on to say, however, that Prince Harry and Prince William were BIG fans of the Italian favourite.

He said: 'I didn’t start really cooking pizzas until I moved to Kensington Palace. William and Harry would have had it every night if Nanny had let them. They loved it.'
