Caroline Stanbury Opens Up About the "Traumatic" Reason She Doesn't Eat Fruit

The Ladies of London alum sheds new light on the boarding-school experience that put her off fruit forever. 

By Jenny Berg

On one episode of Ladies of London, Caroline Stanbury revealed a surprising eating habit at a posh dinner party. "I have one rule: no fruit," said the native Londoner, who's now living in Dubai and newly engaged.  

She then elaborated on her aversion to apples, oranges, and their ilk. "I don't eat fruit," she told the table. "[It's] probably a mental thing. I went to boarding school and they made us eat fruit for breakfast. You couldn't leave your table till you ate the fruit. And so, I used to sit there and gag on my fruit. Ever since then, I've never eaten fruit."  

More recently, Caroline sat down for a Life After Bravo interview, exclusive to Bravo Insider, and shared more details of her "traumatic" time at boarding school. "There are some shocking stories," she says in the video above. "Like, we lined up in the morning to go down to breakfast where the whole school would wait while I ate my fruit, and I'd sort of, like, choke on it because I couldn't bear the fruit they'd given me."
