ROYAL CHEF
She is the longest-reigning female monarch in world history. During her six decades on the throne she has been served by 12 Prime Ministers, seen seven Popes elected and undertaken almost 300 official overseas visits to 129 countries, making her the most-travelled sovereign. Long ago Queen Elizabeth surpassed the longevity of the average British woman, yet she shows few signs of slowing down.
So what’s the secret to her good health? While genes have a part to play – her mother lived to 101 – and regular exercise in the form of walking her corgis and horse riding are significant, her former chef Darren McGrady believes Her Majesty’s diet is also key to her legendary stamina.
