Palace chef tells : Queen Elizabeth was like our grandmother – She ate alone without the kids

For her loss Queen Elizabeth which has caused worldwide emotion, the Greek chef of the royal palaces spoke to SKAI and to the “Today” show, Nikolas Koulousias.

He stated that he has very good memories with the Queen who, as he said, since 2017 when he himself has been in the palace, has not treated him like a boss but like his grandmother. “It’s like one of my own people is leaving and I will miss him,” were his words.

“I remember just before Harry and Meghan’s wedding, when we lived for 3 months almost inside the palace, she came down in her nightgown at 5 in the morning to the kitchen, suddenly she slaps me on the back and just asked me for fig jam. I didn’t have any and he told me to go get some at the farm which is right next to the palaces. It was two days before the wedding, however, a lot of people had gathered outside the castle and instead of doing 5 minutes I did 45”, he said.

As for the foodMr. Koulousias said that she wasn’t very demanding, unless it was a banquet. In this case, she pointed out, she was too selective. “Sometimes she would delete the menus we sent her to choose from. We did our cross every time,” he said.

He also stated that after the loss of King Philip, Elizabeth ate alone, except for banquets. “Even when William’s children came to Buckingham, they ate separately,” added the chef

Regarding the Queen’s death, he said he knew about 30-45 minutes before the announcement, however, he suspected something was going on when he was instructed to have the black uniform with him. “We were told to have the black uniform with us inside the castle and we understood that the situation is very difficult. The protocol now says we will wear it for 12 days,” he said.
