Kate reveals why George, Charlotte and Louis would be 'very jealous' of Belize trip

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had a sweet start to the first full day of their royal tour to the Caribbean.

The pair visited the Che ‘il chocolate farm in Belize, where they tried their hands at grinding chocolate nibs, broken-up made cocoa beans, and learned how cacao is farmed.

And one activity during the visit to the farm left Kate remarking how their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis would be "very jealous" of them.

It came as the couple were shown some chocolate fountains, which made their eyes light up.

The pair indulged by dipping tortilla chips into the brown sticky liquid and they also tried hot chocolate made from the organic farm.

And Kate confessed: “I think our children will be very jealous.”

She also remarked on the smell emanating from around the farm and said: "The smell of the chocolate is amazing.”

William even joked about giving up his day job as a working royal asking Julio Saqui owner of the family-run chocolate firm “Do you take apprentices? Can I come and work for you it’s my kind of thing.”

After visiting the farm, William and Kate then headed on to the village of Hopkins, where they wowed delighted crowds with their dance moves.

Kate, 40, in a blue floral Tory Burch dress and Sezane earrings, was first onto the dancefloor, cutting shapes with nine local schoolchildren from the Garifuna Cultural Centre.

Future King Wills appeared a bit more hesitant before being beckoned to show his moves to the local ‘punta’ style dance as groups of children cheered him on to dance waving Belize flags.

And it wasn't long before Wills began dancing with local organiser Laura Cacho, 57.

They were soon holding hands and gyrating to the music as locals screamed in delight.

She said afterwards: “He shook his waist to the music. He had beautiful rhythm. It was a pleasure for me.

“Kate was excellent as well and definitely has Garifuna culture in her.”
