Royal Sandwich Superstitions: Corners & Coffins

0:00It's April 28th. Welcome to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. King Charles skips the square corners on his sandwiches, thanks to an old superstition that pointed edges mean someone's plotting to topple the. Throne. A former royal chef spilled this in a documentary called Secrets of the Royal Kitchen. Queen Elizabeth stuck to the same rule during her reign, never serving square ones. She loved tiny round jam penny sandwiches instead. Paid with white bread, no crust, and strawberry or raspberry jam. Word is, this dates back generations to Prince Albert, who saw corners as coffin shaped in bad luck. He passed at just 42. Royals dot shellfish too, over worries about food poisoning, and garlics off limits since it wrecks breath, as Queen Camilla once noted. King Charles isn't into chocolate much, so it rarely hits the menu. Former chefs say the family eats strictly by season. No strawberries in January, or else they get crossed out fast.

1:00These quirks keep royal meals, tradition bound and superstition, safe, blending history with everyday caution in the palace kitchen.
