The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge recently ventured to one of their favourite places in the UK, Cumbria, to celebrate the work of the rural community there.
The royal couple had a hectic schedule for the day, dashing from a walkabout in Keswick town centre, to Deepdale Hall Farm, a family-run business, and a walk on Ullswater Way – all in just a few hours!

But luckily, Catherine and William did have some time for a bit of rest and relaxation, as a local Ullswater hotel has revealed that the couple stopped by for a spot of afternoon tea!
The pair made a stop at the Inn on the Lake, which – as the name suggests – directly overlooks the peaceful and picturesque lake.

According to Hello!, William and Catherine were served the hotel’s traditional afternoon tea in one of the luxury Lake View bedrooms, ensuring the royal couple a bit of privacy as they ate.
The hotel’s afternoon tea looks every bit as delicious as you’d expect for royal guests, with the Duke and Duchess having tucked in to honey and orange roasted gammon & Hawkshead piccalilli, Appleby Creamery cheddar cheese & sweet pickle, egg & chive mayonnaise, and cucumber & crème fraîche sandwiches.

Also on offer for Catherine and William were some traditional plain scones, homemade pastries, macaroons, and a traditional mini trifle – so it sounds as though there’s no worry about them having gone hungry!
On the Inn on the Lake’s official Instagram account, they also shared some behind-the-scenes picture of the Cambridges visit to the hotel, including the moment that they met hotel staff.

They also shared a video of the moment Prince William and Catherine jetted off in a helicopter after their stop – which presumably took them all the way back to their Kensington Palace home.
