Prince Louis's favourite vegetable is rather posh for a four-year-old.

Our sister title MyLondon reports that Kate Middleton confirmed his favourite foods during a chat on television alongside baking legend Mary Berry.

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.

“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.

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." And it also showed how much grandmas really love chutney!
