Fans speculate Prince Harry royal upbringing may have shaped his unusual food habit

September 1, 2025: Prince Harry is making headlines once again—this time for a rather surprising reason. On Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series With Love, Meghan, the Duke of Sussex was called out for a food-related quirk that left viewers both amused and baffled.

The “Food Ick” Moment


During a casual moment on the show, Harry revealed a particular eating habit that Meghan jokingly pointed out. While seemingly harmless, the small detail struck fans as unusual and even a little off-putting, sparking chatter across social media.

Why His Upbringing Could Be the Reason


Experts and royal watchers believe Harry’s unique eating style may be rooted in his royal upbringing, where dining etiquette is strict and traditional. From the way food is prepared to the manner in which it’s consumed, the royal family has long followed a set of unspoken rules that could have shaped Harry’s food preferences.

Fans Weigh In


Twitter and TikTok quickly lit up with reactions, with many finding the moment relatable while others poked fun at the prince. “Only Harry could make something so small into a viral moment,” one fan wrote. Another joked, “Royal table manners don’t always translate to real life!”

A Lighthearted Highlight


While the show has been praised for giving an intimate look into Meghan’s life and projects, this unexpected moment with Harry added a dose of humor and relatability that fans clearly appreciated. It also showed that despite his royal past, Harry isn’t afraid to laugh at himself—especially when Meghan is by his side.
