All The Meals British Royals Have Served At Their Weddings

The couple married just two years after WWII ended, and the country was still in a period of rationing. Some dishes were made possible by donations, but chefs managed to create a luxe menu.

It's customary to name a dish after both the bride and groom. The filleted sole was Prince Philip's; Mountbatten is his family name.

That means partridge in casserole, and it was served alongside green beans, salad, and pomme noisette — fried balls of pureed potatoes.

A bombe glacée is a dome-shaped ice cream dessert. The one served at the wedding reception, named after then-Princess Elizabeth, was made with strawberries. The fruit was a major luxury for a November wedding; palace staff grew them in a hothouse.

The 500-pound, four-tier fruitcake was nicknamed "The 10,000-Mile Wedding Cake" because its ingredients were donated by the Australian Girl Guides. It was cut with a sword gifted to Prince Philip — then the Duke of Edinburgh — by the king.

The couple's lavish wedding was the first to ever be televised. Now, you can watch Princess Margaret (Queen Elizabeth's sister) and photographer Armstrong-Jones' entire relationship play out on Netflix's The Crown.

Since this was the dish named after Princess Margaret, you can assume beef tenderloin was one of her favorite meals.

Green beans aren't just a popular wedding side now. They've been trending for decades. Both Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret served them at their receptions.

Think of a soufflé as a puffy, egg-based pudding. They're notoriously hard to make.

Princess Margaret outdid the queen's wedding in every way — except for the cake. Her official one was only three tiers and 150 pounds, though she had another 19 cakes on display.

Princess Anne, the queen's only daughter, and her first husband bonded over their love of horses. Their wedding meal featured two main courses, plus a wedding cake that was exactly the Princess's height.

The extravagant feast kicked off with a plate of lobster for each guest — and that was for breakfast!

Next came partridge, which Princess Anne's mother served at her own wedding. It was plated with fresh peas.

A November wedding would have meant 40- or 50-degree weather. Still, Princess Anne and Phillips served this frozen treat after their morning meal.

Mark Phillips earned his rank of Captain in the Army, so a pastry chef from the Army Catering Corps — Sergeant Major David Dodd — created the couple's cake. It was 5-feet, 6-inches tall — exactly the Princess's height.

Around one billion people worldwide tuned into to watch the so-called fairytale wedding play out on television. Only 120 people were actually invited to the breakfast reception that followed.

Quenelles are like fish dumplings, and the ones served at this royal wedding were made from brill and served in lobster sauce.

This dish, named after Princess Di, wasn't ordinary, dry wedding chicken. It was stuffed with lamb mousse.

Unlike the strawberries served at Queen Elizabeth's wedding, the berries would have been in-season at Prince Charles and Princess Diana's wedding. They were topped with Cornish cream — another term for clotted cream.

The couple served guests 27 different cakes, but the showstopper was this 5-foot tall fruitcake with white icing. Fans have kept slices frozen for decades, then sold them for thousands of dollars at auctions.
