As revealed by Duchess Kate during a Christmas special, Prince William, the future king of England is no novice in the kitchen. In fact, he enjoys and loves cooking for his wife on occasion, and is especially famous for cooking breakfast. The duchess told Mary Berry that during their university times, he used to experiment and cook all sorts of dishes, to impress her! The Duchess revealed she really enjoyed cooking along with her three babies, during an appearance with her husband in December 2019. The mother of three says that she sees cooking as a way for her children to be creative and as independent as possible. The duchess also said that while pizzas are something that she makes with her kids, she prefers to whip up birthday cakes for their birthdays. It’s become a bit of a tradition that she stays up until midnight with huge amounts of cake mix and icing and ends up making far too much, but the children and she, enjoy it.
