When Kate Middleton was recently asked by a schoolgirl what life is like in the Royal family, the Princess of Wales gave an honest five word reply.
The mum-of-three visited the Chelsea Flower Show where she joined schoolkids to tour some of the attractions, including a walled kitchen garden designed by Mark Gregory, the Mirror reports.
The Royal was also seen sitting down to enjoy a picnic with the children where the youngsters quizzed her about her life as a Princess to which Kate candidly replied: "You have to work hard".
She also gave the kids a glimpse into her youngest son Prince Louis' school life, saying he has been growing broad beans in the school garden before she showcased her artistic talents by sketching flowers and plants for the kids instead of a signature.
The royal also met with ex-servicemen and women the Chelsea Pensioners, a feature of Gregory's garden and a covered dining area was established for them, alongside a kitchen that will provide meals for the elderly group using produce grown nearby.
When Kate asked the pensioners what the dish was as they tucked into chargrilled peas with herbs, Harry Puttick, who served with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers for 30 years, charmingly replied: "The peas are forgettable, you are not."
With the chef nearby, the cheeky OAP added: "I'd better say the peas were wonderful, but it was fantastic to meet the future Queen."
Kate wore a bright bubble gum pink ME+EM dress that she previously wore while meeting a five-year-old cancer survivor at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh in 2021.
That same year, the Princess of Wales' "Back to Nature Garden" aimed to bring light to the benefits the natural world has on our mental and physical well-being.
The garden's focal point was a high platform tree house, clad in stag horn oak that was inspired by a bird or animal nest.
It also featured a swing seat, a campfire and a rustic den as well as stepping stones, tree stumps and a hollow log for kids to play on.
King Charles and Queen Camilla attended the Chelsea Flower Show yesterday with some displays paying tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Her Majesty was a big fan of visiting the annual flower show, having visited it more than 50 times over her 70-year reign with this being the first display since her death.
This year's show also featured a life-size topiary display of her beloved pony, Emma in the Great Pavilion.
Elsewhere, there was a display celebrating the Coronation in Dave Green's RHS A Garden of Royal Reflection & Celebration which is a tranquil space that featured some of the Windsor family's favourite plants.
