Sad news for the Queen's summer holiday plans at Balmoral...
It's the second year grouse has been off the menu… August 13, 2019 - 18:33 BST Jenni McKnight The Queen has received some disappointing news which is likely to dampen her summer holiday in Balmoral – grouse shooting has been cancelled! One of her Majesty's favourite past-times has been put on hold due to a shortage of birds in the Scottish Highlands.
Grouse shooting is a big draw for the royals, with Prince Charles and Prince Andrew regularly partaking in the activity during the grouse season, which began Monday on the Glorious 12th and is due to end on 10 December. Prince Philip no longer shoots after having a heart stent fitted several years ago, but other members of the royal family, including Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, have enjoyed the sport over the years.
Darren, who worked for Her Majesty for 11 years before cooking for Princess Diana for four, added: "The Queen loves grouse. It will be on the Balmoral menu for the next two months. Most of the time it was served as roast grouse with game chips, bread sauce and redcurrant jelly." Unfortunately, it seems that there may have to be a quick change of menu for the new season.
