The royals have a certain diet that they religiously follow. But the Duchess of Cambridge is very hands-on when it comes to serving her family’s meal.

According to Us Weekly, Middleton is a home cook. The Cambridges does not have a chef because “they have a small household and can fend for themselves.”

Middleton is not the only one who cooks in the family. Speaking to Mary Berry in the new cooking special, “A Berry Royal Christmas,” the duchess recalled how Prince William used to cook for her when they were still in university.

“In university days he used to cook all sorts of meals. I think that's when he was trying to impress me, Mary! Things like bolognese sauce, and things like that,” Middleton said.

When the future queen was asked if Prince William still cooks for her, Middleton gave an affirmative response. She said that the second in line to the throne sometimes does and is very good at making breakfast.

Matthew Kleiner-Mann, chief executive of the Ivy Learning Trust, told reporters that Prince George and Princess Charlotte love cooking and they even cook for her.
