Kate Middleton's relatable tea confession provides an insight into her life as a mum

Catherine, Princess of Wales gestures and holds a mug during a visit to the RHS's Wellbeing Garden at Colchester Hospital on July 2, 2025 .

Teatime is as much of a British institution as the Royal Family at this point, and whilst the full spread with sandwiches and cakes isn’t something many people indulge in regularly anymore, a daily brew is a must-have for many. The Princess of Wales is seemingly a fan too and she enjoyed a steaming mug of tea during her visit to the RHS Wellbeing Garden at Colchester Hospital on 2nd July.

Pictures taken at this engagement show Kate holding her beverage and she apparently shared a tea-based confession about life as a mum at Adelaide Cottage. According to the Daily Mail, the future Queen allegedly carried her tea around with her as she spoke with patients and volunteers.
