Royal chef gives insight into Queen's Christmas dinner traditions – pudding recipe

Paul Burrell, former servant of the British Royal Household and latterly butler to Princess Diana explained that each year, the family would receive a hamper from the Queen’s greengrocers – Fortnum & Mason.

Appearing on the Channel 4 programme, he said: “The royal Christmas hamper of course comes from the Queen’s greengrocers, Fortnum & Mason’s in Piccadilly and it’s like an Aladdin’s cave really.

“There’s everything from turkey and ham and foie gras to champagne…chocolates and goodies to eat after dinner and it comes in an enormous laundry hamper with F&M on the side, it’s a sign of class.”

Hampers at the famous retailer are priced anything between £50 to £6,000.
