What’s on the menu for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding reception?
Royal chef Mark Flanagan says the wedding timing is ideal because British vegetables are coming into season
The menu for the reception after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding will feature a bonanza of British produce.
Royal chef Mark Flanagan said on Monday that many of the dishes on Saturday would be made from seasonal produce, including some grown on estates belonging to the hostess, Queen Elizabeth.
Flanagan said the wedding timing was ideal because British vegetables are coming into season.
“We know the couple wanted us to make sure we used all of the local seasonal produce as much as possible throughout their menu, and this recent good weather is really helping us to achieve that,” he said.
He said Harry and Markle had taken a hands-on approach in the preparations.
“They’ve tasted everything. They’ve been involved in every detail,” he said.
Details about menu items, and the wine, have not yet been released. In the past, the queen has sometimes served premium English sparkling wine rather than Champagne at gala events.
