Prince Philip and the Queen, who have been married for 73 years, were particular about their "decades" long breakfast regime.
The "strict" routine would see the Duke of Edinburgh being served breakfast at 8:30 am as he listened to Radio 4 in the first-floor dining room at Buckingham Palace.
The duke would be seated with a table carrying cereal and porridge, oats, two types of marmalade and maple syrup.
While he ate his breakfast, the Queen is reported to be feeding her corgis some toast.
She would enjoy an Early Grey tea which is said to be followed by some breakfast and a bath.
