When it comes to her breakfast preferences, we can confirm that the Queen is said to start her day off in a similar fashion to most Aussies – with a bowl of Kellogg’s cereal!
That’s right! Kellogg’s has confirmed their UK counterparts hold a royal warrant and are an official supplier to the Royal household and have been for decades.
Her Majesty is said to enjoy a bowl of Special K and tops it with fruit to create a breakfast bowl fit for a queen.
The monarch is said to have rarely deviated from her breakfast tradition throughout her 70 year reign.

Over the past 70 years, no matter where in the world Her Majesty might be the Queen’s routine is said to have never changed.

You read that right. While the Queen is reported to rarely deviate from her routine, when she does she opts for Fried Kippers. It has been said that she has enjoyed the oily fish for breakfast once in a blue moon since her childhood.
5. Music to her majesty’s ears
Post-breakfast the Queen is said to enjoy the sounds of the royal piper playing the bagpipes outside her window. Quite the morning alarm we say! Following the conclusion of the private concert the Queen is ready to get to business and see to matters of state by 9:30am.
