Upon releasing the trailer for the second instalment of her hit Netflix series With Love, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex inadvertently confirmed a long-standing rumour about her husband this week.
More specifically, Meghan lifted the lid on Prince Harry's rathe peculiar eating habits.
For those in need of a reminder about the 44-year-old's highly-watched lifestyle series, it debuted back in April this year, giving fans an insight into how she runs her Montecito, California household as a wife and mother-of-two.
As well as featuring a number of celebrity guests, the show saw Meghan whipping up several signature dishes, with 40-year-old Harry making an appearance in the grand finale, where she hosted a huge spread for her big-name buddies.

Last night, the teaser for her second season landed, during which she could once again be heard discussing her love of cooking.
While chatting with a guest star, however, Meghan reveals that her husband has an aversion to a particularly popular cuisine. So much so, that he reportedly 'refuses' to eat it.
"Do you know who doesn't like lobster?" she asks Spanish-American chef José Andrés in the clip, before adding: "My husband."
The guest then quips in response: "And you married him?"
As we say, the claim has seemingly confirmed a theory about the British Royal Family - that seafood is usually kept off the menu, due to its heightened risk of poisoning.
Grant Harrold, a former royal butler to King Charles III, told the Express in June: "It is a very sensible move to abandon having seafood when out and about on public duties."
He continued: "We don't want a member of the Royal Family having a serious reaction to food poisoning.
"Especially if [they] are on an overseas tour. Therefore, you will not normally find this on the royal menu."
Despite this rumour - as well as the Duchess' latest remarks about Harry's lobster loathing - The King previously broke this 'royal rule' on seafood back in 2013 during an appearance at the Whitstable Oyster Festival.
There, the 76-year-old was photographed alongside wife Camilla enjoying the popular shellfish directly from its shell.
A former royal chef, Darren McGrady, also attempted to debunk the long-standing seafood myth recently, sharing a photo on X of a royal menu dating back to 1989.
The snap proved that the late Queen Elizabeth II was actually rather fond of fish, and had dined on 'soufflé de homard' (with 'homard' being the French word for lobster) at Windsor Castle that particular year.
