Prince George's extravagant school lunches revealed

Prince George might only be four-years-old, but when it comes to lunch time he doesn’t mess around. The young royal’s extravagant school lunches have been revealed to the public, and they wouldn’t look out of place at a fancy restaurant.

The young prince, who attends the exclusive Thomas’s Battersea in London, typically munches on a lunch consisting “freshly prepared fragrant lamb and apricot tagine”, or free range chicken and mushroom with sautéed potato.

Students at Thomas’s Battersea, which has fees reaching $23,000 a year, enjoy a three-week menu cycle which is repeated once and generally changes with the seasons.

“We offer lighter lunches during the lighter days and more substantial meals when the days turn cold,” says the schools’ website.

“Each term the catering team develop a range of ideas and dishes with an emphasis on healthy cooking, full flavour and presentation. Our goal is to not only persuade pupils to eat but, more importantly, to enjoy a balanced diet whilst at school.”

And if Prince George fancies something sweet after his main course, he can enjoy chocolate and beetroot brownies, red berry cookies with fromage frais or crepes with orange sauce. 

What are your thoughts? Do you think this menu is too extravagant for a child? Should Prince George learn to enjoy simpler meals? Let us know in the comments.
