Growing up in the royal family, it's fair to say Princes William and Harry probably had a slightly different upbringing than the rest of us. However, it's well documented that Princess Diana did everything in her power to give them as many 'normal' experiences possible.
One of the most exciting things from many people's childhoods is being allowed to order naughty food and watch whatever they wanted on TV, and the same goes for Harry and Wills.
It's no secret that Diana loved taking her boys to McDonald's, with the princess regularly tucking into a Big Mac and fries during weekends spent with the princes.
But, it turns out that their Saturday nights weren't actually too different from our own, as the three of them loved coming home to enjoy their takeaway while sitting in front of the TV watching Blind Date - which fast became part of their routine.
Their former butler Paul Burrell told the Mirror: "The three of them would nip to McDonald’s for a Big Mac and fries before coming back to watch Blind Date. All three of them would squat on this massive, stuffed hippopotamus Diana had in her sitting room.
"They loved Blind Date and I’d hear them all screaming things like 'Oh don’t pick him!' and 'Lorra, lorra fun'."
On one occasion, Diana left royal chef Darren McGrady baffled when she asked him cancel dinner so she could take her sons out for Happy Meals.
He told Marie Claire: "I remember the Princess came into the kitchen one day and said, 'Cancel lunch for the boys I'm taking them out, we're going to McDonald's.
"And I said, 'Oh my god your royal highness, I can do that, I can do burgers.' And she said, 'No, it's the toy they want.'
"Yeah, the boys loved McDonald's, and going out for pizza, and having potato skins—sort of the American foods. They were royal princes but had children's palates."
