“Princess Anne almost always preferred the bananas almost black – overripe – because they digest easier,”
Compared to green or golden yellow bananas, the overripe ones have easily digestible sugars. The complex carbs of the bananas breaks down into sugars and is easily digested and absorbed.
Moreover, she likes kiwi fruit. Her daughter Zara had revealed:
“She [Anne] always has a kiwi fruit,”
Robert Hardman wrote the bestselling royal biography titled: Queen Of Our Times: The Life of Elizabeth II, that he released in March 2022. This biography carried the above words of Zara. Kiwis have high content of vitamin C and K and can digest meat and other forms of protein. They are also rich in antioxidants that are beneficial for body and health.
Expert nutritionist views on Anne’s lifestyle
Charlotte Norton, Medical Director at The Slimming Clinic told Express UK:
“While the usual weight loss rules would have applied, such as burning more calories than she consumed, eating lean meat, reducing sugary foods with little to no nutritional value and avoiding fad diets, there are additional things that I believe Princess Anne would have done.”

“We know that the Princess is also a fan of smoked herring – a great protein-rich dish.”
“As we grow older, we are in danger of losing muscle mass – protein helps with weight loss efforts since it keeps you fuller for longer.”
