While The Queen has to remain neutral in many areas of her life and is unable to voice personal opinions on topics including politics, there are a few things she's able to pick favourites from.

And one of them, of course, is food. Queen Elizabeth II is a creature of habit when it comes to cooking and a former royal cook has revealed that she loves one particular sandwich style so much that she has eaten them constantly since she was a little girl.

With the monarch's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations just around the corner, scores of garden and street parties will be held up and down the country to mark her 70 years on the throne – and this particular sandwich would be the perfect addition to any picnic menu or buffet.

Darren McGrady, who was personal chef to the Queen, Princess Diana, Prince William and Prince Harry for 15 years, has shared his guide to the perfect royal afternoon tea and it includes the monarch's favourite – a humble jam sandwich. “The Queen was served jam pennies in the nursery as a little girl, she’s had them for afternoon tea ever since" Darren said in a video he shared on YouTube. “Simple, just bread and jam with a little butter - usually strawberry jam.
