Kate Middleton Reveals Prince William Had Serious Game in College
Well, well, well. Sounds like Prince William had serious game in college -- at least when it came to wooing future wife Kate Middleton. During the royal couple's appearance on the BBC special A Berry Royal Christmas with baking legend Mary Berry, Kate revealed that Prince William used to whip up all sorts of tasty dishes for her when they were at St. Andrews together.
The duchess wasn't fooled by William's suave culinary ways, though. Kate knew exactly what he was doing.
During the show, Berry asked Kate if William ever takes charge of the cooking at home.
And turns out, he does!
"He sometimes does, actually. He’s very good at breakfast," Kate told Berry, adding that in their college days, William spent even more time in the kitchen.
"In our university days he used to cook all sorts of meals. I think that’s when he was trying to impress me, Mary," the duchess laughed. "Things like Bolognese sauce and things like that."
Who knew Wills had it in him?!
The cooking show host then turned the questions to William, asking if he was planning on making anything with the kids this season.
"We are talking about doing mince pies this year," William said, possibly revealing what's on the Cambridge Christmas menu. "I love mince pies. If the children want to cook mince pies then I’m happy to do that."
Ah, what we would give to see Prince William in the kitchen with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, whipping up a mince pie. So cute!
In addition to giving us a peek into the prince's cooking skills, Kate also shared some of her kids' favorite foods.
Not surprising in the least, the duchess revealed that she, along with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, have taken to growing their own produce -- veggies in particular.
"We grow our own vegetables,” Kate told Berry, adding: “We’ve got carrots, beans, beetroot -- a massive favorite -- Louis absolutely loves beetroot.”
Kate also revealed that Charlotte is a big fan of a certain type of potato that's popular in the U.K. “Charlotte obviously likes her Charlotte potatoes,” Kate said.
As she should.
If you thought William's mince pies and Kate's robust garden wasn't impressive enough, here's another tidbit for you:
Each year, the Duchess of Cambridge makes a special cake for each of her children's birthdays -- from scratch. Of course she does!
"I love making the cake," Kate told Berry. "It's become a bit of a tradition that I stay up 'til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But I love it."
Oh, Kate. Just when we thought you couldn't get any more perfect you go and reveal this. George, Charlotte, and Louis are a lucky lot.
