Prince William has repeatedly spoken about his support for British pubs, describing them as important gathering places for local communities.
In June, the Prince of Wales made an unannounced visit to The Prince of Peckham in south London, where he pulled a pint and discussed the importance of preserving traditional pubs.
“I love pubs. I want to do as much as I can to support pubs because I love the community. We need to protect our pubs,” William said.
He described pubs as the “glue and fabric” of communities, highlighting the contribution of the people who work in them.
William, who has been nicknamed “One Pint Willy” by Mike Tindall, also visited the Two Brewers pub in Windsor in October 2024. During the visit, he shared a drink with actor Eugene Levy while filming The Reluctant Traveller.
In 2023, William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, travelled by Tube to the Dog and Duck in Soho before King Charles III’s coronation. They met hospitality workers and tried pulling pints at the historic pub.
The pub’s manager, Chris Watts, praised William’s efforts, prompting the prince to joke that he had limited experience serving beer but was more familiar with drinking it.
Another establishment associated with William is the Walnut Tree Inn in Mere, Wiltshire. He ordered its homemade burger with fries and lemonade during a visit.
The £18.95 meal, which includes cheddar, lettuce, tomato, gherkin, onion marmalade, burger sauce, coleslaw and fries, was subsequently renamed the “Prince William” Burger by owner William Friend-James.
William’s visits have attracted royal enthusiasts to some of the establishments, with certain seating areas becoming known among visitors as the “royal table” or “King’s corner”.
Prince Harry’s Favourite Fast-Food Chains Include Nando’s and In-N-Out
Prince Harry has been linked to casual dining venues in both Britain and the United States, including Nando’s and In-N-Out Burger.
In September 2023, Harry and Meghan were photographed buying food from an In-N-Out outlet near their former home in Montecito, California.
Meghan discussed the couple’s fondness for the American burger chain in a 2022 interview with Variety, explaining that they enjoyed visiting its drive-through.
“There’s one at the halfway point between LA and our neck of the woods. It’s really fun to go through the drive-thru and surprise them,” she said. “They know our order.”
Harry is reported to favour the Double Double burger with fries and a Coke, while Meghan’s preferred order is said to include a cheeseburger, fries and jalapeños.
Before relocating to California, Harry was frequently associated with Nando’s in Britain. He reportedly favoured its mild lemon-and-herb chicken and was seen ordering a late-night takeaway from the chain’s Fulham branch in 2013.
In his memoir, Spare, Harry also revealed that he ate Nando’s chicken while Meghan was giving birth to their son, Prince Archie, in 2019.
Other London establishments linked to the duke include the Hollywood Arms, a neighbourhood pub in Chelsea, and Sticky Fingers, an American-style restaurant on Kensington High Street known for its barbecue ribs. Sticky Fingers was owned by former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman.
Harry and Meghan have also been seen having lunch at The Falkland Arms in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, around two miles from Soho Farmhouse.
Meghan’s Restaurant Visits Span California, New York and London
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has visited a range of restaurants, from celebrity-frequented establishments in California to exclusive dining venues in London and New York.
In Montecito, she has regularly visited Tre Lune, an Italian restaurant known for its extensive wine list, expensive menu and tableside cheese-wheel cacio e pepe.
Meghan had lunch there with tennis star Serena Williams in March 2024. She also celebrated her 42nd birthday at the restaurant in August 2023 with Harry and their friend Matt Cohen.
Another California venue she has visited is Gracias Madre, a Mexican restaurant serving dishes including wet burritos, jackfruit tacos and plantain French toast.
In New York, Meghan has dined at The Polo Bar, the Ralph Lauren restaurant on Fifth Avenue. She visited the venue during her baby-shower trip in 2019 and returned in August 2025.
Before meeting Harry, Meghan wrote about her preferred New York restaurants in a 2014 post on her former lifestyle blog, The Tig. Her recommendations included Rubirosa, an Italian restaurant known for its pizza, and a restaurant operated by chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten that offers views of Central Park.
More recently, Meghan attended afternoon tea with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai at Claridge’s in Mayfair on October 7. The pair dined in the hotel’s Foyer and Reading Room, where afternoon tea costs £95 per person. Champagne is available for an additional £30, although the two women appeared to have tea and mineral water.
Meghan has also had lunch at The Park, a Manhattan-inspired grand café near Kensington Palace.
Princess Diana Regularly Visited Italian Restaurants in London
The late Princess Diana was known for her fondness for Italian food and frequently visited several restaurants in west London.
One of her regular destinations was San Lorenzo in Knightsbridge, near Harrods and Harvey Nichols. The restaurant served prominent customers for approximately six decades, and Diana often took William and Harry there for lunch.
San Lorenzo closed during the COVID-19 pandemic and did not reopen. Its building remained vacant until 2024, when a group of 15 squatters occupied the property.
Diana also frequently visited La Famiglia, a Tuscan restaurant in Chelsea. She was photographed there with William on August 21, 1997, ten days before her death.
The restaurant has since faced a dispute over noise complaints from a neighbour concerning its garden. Although its licence allowed service until midnight, the restaurant restricted service to 11pm and stopped performing “Happy Birthday” to customers outside.
Celebrities including Eric Clapton and Barbara Broccoli have reportedly supported La Famiglia during the ongoing legal dispute.
Other restaurants associated with Diana included Launceston Place in Kensington, which serves British and French cuisine and holds a Michelin star; Da Maro, a pizza restaurant in South Kensington; and L’Escargot in Soho.
She was also reported to have enjoyed lunches at the Hotel Café Royal on Regent Street, including in its historic Oscar Wilde Room.
King Charles and Queen Camilla Have Links to The Ritz
King Charles III is known to favour The Ritz in London, which is recognised for its two-Michelin-star restaurant and royal warrant for banqueting and catering services.
Charles has also been associated with Mount St. Restaurant in Mayfair, known for dishes including its signature lobster pie.
Another restaurant he visited was Brilliant Restaurant in Southall, west London. The family-run establishment served Punjabi and Kenyan-influenced cuisine before closing in April 2025 after 50 years in operation.
The Ritz also holds a place in the history of Charles and Queen Camilla’s relationship. The couple made their first official public appearance together at the hotel on January 28, 1999, after attending a 50th birthday celebration for Camilla’s sister.
Queen Elizabeth II Made Restaurant History at Quaglino’s
The late Queen Elizabeth II was associated with several established London restaurants, including Bellamy’s, The Ivy and Quaglino’s.
Bellamy’s, an upscale French brasserie in Mayfair, hosted the monarch twice after opening in 2004.
Her first visit took place in 2006, when Lady Penn, a close friend and former lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mother, arranged a private dinner for Elizabeth’s 80th birthday. The Queen returned in 2016 to dine with Princess Anne and her cousin, Princess Alexandra.
In 2017, Elizabeth was seen at the original Ivy restaurant in Covent Garden during a birthday celebration for a close friend. Comedian and television presenter David Walliams was among the other guests reportedly present.
One of her most notable restaurant visits occurred in 1956, when she dined at Quaglino’s in central London with Prince Philip and the Queen Mother. The visit made her the first reigning British monarch to eat at a public restaurant.
Quaglino’s is known for its Art Deco interiors and entertainment, including jazz, blues and cabaret. Although reports suggested that Elizabeth may have ordered Eggs Royale during the visit, the details of her meal were not confirmed.
The restaurant later welcomed other members of the Royal Family, including Princess Margaret, who reportedly had a permanently reserved private table known as the “Royal Enclosure”.
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie Frequent Exclusive London Dining Venues
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have been seen at several upscale restaurants across London, particularly in Mayfair and Notting Hill.
The sisters visited Mount St. Restaurant in Mayfair in December 2025. The venue serves British dishes and offers private dining rooms.
They have also been associated with Isabel’s, which serves Latin American and Mediterranean cuisine.
Last year, the princesses attended the launch of MR PORTER Steakhouse on Park Lane. The restaurant occupies a site previously used by Trader Vic’s and describes its concept as combining an extravagant atmosphere with a more understated dining experience.
Its menu includes premium steaks, lobster, chips and cocktails.
In Notting Hill, Beatrice and Eugenie are also reported to enjoy Eel Sushi Bar and Dorian, a Michelin-starred bistro frequented by David and Victoria Beckham.
