There’s an endless supply of interesting trivia about Queen Elizabeth — like what she actually eats every day or, even better, the one food she'll never touch.
But perhaps our favorite new fun fact about the Queen of England is that she owns a McDonald’s in the UK about 80 miles outside of London. Yup, you read that correctly, the Queen is a fast food franchise-owner.
According to Business Insider, the Queen’s McDonald's is not owned by the Queen personally but by The Crown Estate and it's located in the county of Oxfordshire at Banbury Gateway Shopping Park.
The property, which opened in 2015, is part of a larger shopping center that includes a Costa Coffee, Starbucks, Marks & Spencer and a Primark, so The Crown Estate actually owns all of those shops, as well.
The royals haven't been known to frequent this particular Mickey D's but they have been seen in Banbury. A representative for Visit Banbury told TODAY Food over email that the last time a royal was spotted in Banbury was back in 2008 when the Queen visited. But there have been recent rumors that Prince Harry is looking for a home locally, in a town just on the outskirts of the county.
But it doesn't seem like the Queen, Kate, Wills or even Prince George often munch on Big Macs or Nuggets at the family franchise. "We really don't think any of the Royal family go to McDonald's and they certainly haven't been to the one at Banbury Gateway," the representative shared.
