    • We’re in no doubt that William is a wonderful husband – but we didn’t realise he is also quite the chef.

    The Duchess and Duke of Cambridge have been filming a new TV show with fellow cooking enthusiast Mary Berry – A Berry Royal Christmas – and during chats with the TV chef, have revealed some insights into what home life looks like for the Cambridges.

    When Mary asked whether William cooks for his wife, Catherine replied, “He sometimes does actually.”

    She continued, “He’s very good at breakfast.”

    Catherine revealed that William first showed her his skills in the kitchen when they attended St Andrews university together.

    “In [our] university days he used to cook all sorts of meals. I think that was when he was trying to impress me, Mary. Things like Bolognese sauces and things like that.”

    The couple first met when they both went to study at St Andrews in 2001. They were friends first before they began dating throughout university and William proposed to Catherine in 2010.

    Duchess Catherine herself isn’t exactly a dab hand in the kitchen – at least according to William.

    Back in 2016, when the couple attended a charity gala dinner, the Duke ‘put his foot in it’ when he revealed he doesn’t think much of Catherine’s cooking skills.
