Her grandfather George VI and father George V did this before her, too.
However, the popular British supermarket was not the original choice and is thought to have been selected to cut down costs.
Previously they were purchased from Fortnum & Mason – and they are more than double the price of Tesco’s Finest Matured Christmas Pudding.
