Why Kate Middleton Finds Cooking For Prince William And The Kids A Real Task

Kate Middleton and Prince William checked in at the Aga Khan Centre in London on Wednesday. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit to celebrate the Pakistani culture and met with a volley of prominent members from the music, arts and culinary fraternity.

During their visit, the royal couple zeroed in on a rather interesting topic for conversation — family dinners and mealtime preferences in the Cambridge household.

"The children have a portion with no spice, yours is medium. And I quite like it hot," Kate said while speaking to William. "Charlotte is pretty good with heat," she added.

While Kate loves the heat, William doesn't really share similar preferences. "Me and heat, not so good," he said. "I love spice but not heat."

This tongue-in-cheek comment came soon after a member of the crowd enthused that medium spice is a rarity in Pakistan. "I’m looking forward to it anyway," William added. "I’m going to need a bigger suit."

The Cambridges have always had a thing for curries, but Kate maintains that mealtime preps are far from easy. "It’s so hard cooking curry with the family though!" she enthused.

In the past, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge revealed how they loved to order takeaway and watch their favorite TV shows, such as "Homeland" and "Game Of Thrones." Speaking of their cozy evenings at Kensington Palace, there was a clear favorite: "Absolutely and curry — definitely!" Kate revealed.

As a family, the royals believe in keeping things as real and frill-free as they can. Kate also categorically mentioned how crucial she thought it was to include the children in the process of cooking. And the big reveal? Well, Princess Charlotte and Prince George love rustling up some gooey cheesy pasta in the kitchen!

Post the visit, Matthew Kleiner-Mann, chief executive of the Ivy Learning Trust let in on some insightful details into her parenting style. "She was telling us how much her children love cooking and how they cook for her," he said.

"They made cheesy pasta the other day. One stirs the flour, one puts the milk and butter in, and they make salads and stuff. Food is important to her and she understands the links between mental health and physical exercise," he added.

The royal couple is slated to visit Pakistan on an official tour on Oct. 14. The tour is going to be a four-day visit.
