I wonder if she had to have it smuggled in, 'cuz of appeances and all...can't have the Royal Staff
seen buying (gasp!) instant coffee ...
Boiled. I'm boring, sue me. 
I put them in cold water and let it boil to avoid cracked shells and then put them in cold water afterwards to avoid green yolks.
I also like the occasional Spanish omelet (with deep fried potato cubes and onions or green bell peppers).

The UK does have a higher cream Extra-Thick double cream which is in the 48% region or clotted cream at 55%

I generally don't eat eggs for breakfast unless I'm on vacation and either (a) there are eggs on the free breakfast buffet, or (b) there's no free breakfast buffet. I generally eat whole wheat toast and an unsweetened whole grain cereal (usually Cheerios) for breakfast.
I frequently eat eggs for lunch, or even for dinner. Almost always scrambled. Once in a blue moon hard-boiled. And the eggs I buy for home use are either Pasteurized-in-shell, or cage-free, or preferably both.

As of right now, McDonald's is better with that than Burger King with their 'BK Big Fish'....that has devolved into being quite gross.
Mind you, my preference is catfish fried at home (or at Captain's Galley, but we don't have one of those around here).
I don't eat the fast food fish sandwiches on anything like a regular basis. Cumulatively, in 50 years, I've probably had them only a dozen times or so. It's pretty much been when out and busy and desperate to grab something quick that is not a fast food burger because they are even worse.
I will say that the burgers at the Portland, Oregon airport are surprisingly good!
Truth be told I love McDonald's but never think to buy the Filet-O-Fish. Considering fish fingers are a guilty pleasure I don't know why I don't.
I have a KFC, a Hungry Jacks (Burger King), Chinese restaurant, Woodfired Pizza, Dominos, Subway AND not a bad Indian restaurant all but the end of the street. Yet it when it comes to burgers they are so easy to make at home.
If I'm ever in Oregon I'll remember the tip
A couple of different Subway restaurants with flies buzzing around the ingredients put me off on those. I don't do buffet, for the same reason. 
The only fish I eat are personally caught, except for a rare can of StarKist. I don't eat shellfish
at all....once, some bad shrimp made me see the light....and swear NEVER again...!
Uhg!

Just ate a hardboiled egg from my work cafeteria... based on how easy it was to peel it must have been an egg for the ages! Well, I'm still alive anyway...
I realise personal preference is everything, but you will find most people over here wouldn't think a fried egg with a solid yolk was acceptable.
We don't even really do what you would call 'over easy'. We normally baste the top slightly and that's it.
Eggs Benedict sort of thing?
American 'sunny side up' I think, but Eggs Benedict are good too !

I love eggs. We eat a lot of eggs around here. They are quick to prepare and nutritious, very satisfying. Scrambled is great. Fried over-medium is great. I love them boiled, deviled, poached. I make omelets and quiche, too. Occasionally, I'll blend an egg into my bullet proof tea. Delicious.
