Prince George has confirmed he has a refined palette, as the young royal shares a love for a dish that many adults around the world adore.

Spaghetti carbonara, with its rich combination of pasta, eggs, pancetta, Parmesan, and black pepper is a dish Prince George absolutely loves.

Celebrity chef, Aldo Zilli, claims to have spoken to Prince William about the 11-year-old’s love of Italian food.

He told Femail magazine: “I’m waiting for the call because apparently, his [Prince William’s] little boy’s favourite is spaghetti carbonara, so I’m waiting for the call to go and cook it for him.

With confidence, he added: “If George has my carbonara, he will never have another one, so I need to go and make it, let’s get the ball rolling, send me to the palace to cook!”

The revelation offers a rare glimpse into the down-to-earth side of Royal Family life.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have often emphasised their desire to ensure their children – George, Charlotte, and Louis, experience a sense of normality alongside their royal responsibilities.

The Princess of Wales, known for her hands-on parenting style, has mentioned in past interviews that she enjoys cooking with her children.

Royal correspondent Rebecca English previously tweeted that Kate encourages Prince George to cook with her and they often make pasta.

She wrote: “They made cheesy pasta together the other day!”

While visiting Lavender Primary School in Enfield on behalf of her mental health patronage Place2Be, Kate revealed her daughter’s all-time favourite snack – which also shows Princess Charlotte’s sophisticated taste.

While chatting about the salads she makes at home, Kate told pupils that her middle child shares her love of olives.

From the late Queen Elizabeth II’s love of chocolate cake to King Charles’s dedication to sustainable farming and local produce, food preferences often reveal a personal side of royal life.

The royal kitchens are known for their commitment to fresh, seasonal ingredients, and the family has a history of supporting local farmers and sustainable food practices.
