Children can be rather fussy when it comes to eating the vegetables on their dinner plates. Favourites such as carrots, peas, and potatoes tend to be more popular amongst younger ones, whereas broccoli, sprouts, and are among the least popular.
Other popular items include sweet potato, and beetroot - a favourite of none other than Prince Louis. The revelation was made a few years back while Kate Middleton was on TV alongside baking legend Mary Berry, MyLondon reports. The 40-year-old said: “We’ve got carrots, beans, beetroot - a massive favourite - Louis absolutely loves beetroot.”
She added how the cooking host’s first name was Prince Louis’ first word. “One of Louis' first words was Mary because right at his height are all my cooking books in the kitchen bookshelf,” she said. “And children are really fascinated by faces, and your faces are all over your cooking books and he would say 'that's Mary Berry' so he would definitely recognise you if he saw you today.”
On another occasion, whilst visiting an Enfield primary school The Duchess also detailed how her three kids love making cheesy pasta. “One stirs the flour, one puts the milk and butter in,” Matthew Kleiner-Mann, chief executive of the Ivy Learning Trust, said after a visit to the school in 2019. “She was telling us how much her children love cooking and how they cook for her.”
Having a love for good food must run in the family, as Kate has a number of favourite foods herself. One of which being her grandmother’s chutney.
Kate may have adapted to Royal Family life pretty smoothly, but she'll never forget her roots. For her first Christmas at Sandringham, for example, the Duchess made a tactical decision while choosing a gift for her grandma-in-law, the Queen.
In a documentary released to coincide with the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations, Kate said: "I can remember being at Sandringham, for the first time, at Christmas. "And I was worried what to give the Queen as her Christmas present. I was thinking, 'Gosh, what should I give her?'
"I thought back to what would I give my own grandparents and I thought, 'I'll make her something', which could have gone horribly wrong, but I decided to make my granny’s recipe of chutney." The Duchess admitted she was "slightly worried about it", but of course, the chutney featured at the Christmas meal the following day.
Kate said it showed the Queen's "thoughtfulness, really, and her care in looking after everybody."
