The King has told a kebab shop owner that the “secret” to a good kebab is that “it’s all in the sauce”, reported The Telegraph. During a visit to a charity aiding in the relief efforts of the Turkey-Syria earthquake, he visited a west London restaurant co-owned by one of the senior members of the charity. The monarch, who was filmed shaking hands with chefs, asked the restaurant owner what his “secret ingredient” is and enquired about “how far back the tradition goes” for the famous dish.
