Meghan Markle 's choice of tea reflects her personality, according to an expert who has lifted the lid of the tea preferences of the royal family . Arthur Gautier of Nio Teas, a premium brand that specialises in Japanese green teas, told Luxurious magazine: "Each royal has their go-to favourite. Tea has played a huge role in the royal family ever since Queen Victoria popularised it in the 19th century.

" When it comes to Prince Harry 's wife, she likes to bring a refreshing twist to the British staple. Meghan drinks a modern mint tea - she was previously seen sipping on the herbal infusion during a visit to Birkenhead - and it reflects her modern tastes, according to Arthur. "It's caffeine-free, soothing, and perhaps a nod to her health-conscious lifestyle ," he said.

Meghan is certainly an advocate of a wholesome diet. She always starts her day with a nutritious breakfast, according to authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand in their book Finding Freedom . "Her morning ritual started with a cup of hot water and a slice of lemon, followed by her favourite breakfast of steel-cut oats (usually made with almond or soy milk) with bananas and agave syrup for sweetness," they revealed.

The royal is also said to enjoy an omelette with cheese , fresh herbs and a side of toast. Meanwhile in a 2015 interview with Best Health , Meghan herself revealed: "I try to eat vegan during the week and then have a little bit more flexibility with what I dig into on the weekends. But at the same time.
