The Prince<\/a> and Princess of Wales<\/a> once enjoyed a five-course meal prepared by Michelin-star chefs at a charity gala dinner in 2016 where Prince William<\/a> was not afraid to poke fun at his wife’s cooking skills. The gala dinner the couple supported at the time was the East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices – of which Princess Kate has been patron of since 2012.<\/p>\n

When the pair arrived at the event, Kate joked that William was looking forward to having a break from her cooking. She said: “William has to put up with my cooking most of the time.” To which William laughed with a savage six-word response: “It’s the reason I’m so skinny!”<\/p>\n

It is not the first time the couple have joked about their cooking abilities as the Prince and Princess appeared in the BBC1 show in 2019 titled A Berry Royal Christmas alongside Dame Mary Berry<\/a>, 89, and Great British Bake Off series six winner Nadiya Hussain.<\/p>\n

The couple were paired off, William went with Nadiya and Kate went with Mary and it became a competition to see who could roll and decorate the best Christmas roulade.<\/a><\/p>\n

At the time, William joked: “I’ve made hundreds of roulades, loads. I’m going to write a book about roulades and it’ll be a bestseller.”<\/p>\n

It was during this television airing, that Kate confessed William had cooked for her during their time studying at the University of St Andrews. The Princess said: “He’s [Prince William<\/a>] very good at breakfast. 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 sauce and things like that.”<\/p>\n

In true British Bake Off form, Berry displayed her classic humour and cheeky innuendos when she asked Princess Kate if she wanted to have a “squirt on a cake” while preparing cupcakes for their guests – which, of course, sent the Prince and Princess into hysterics.<\/p>\n

In March 2025, Prince William<\/a> surprised the culinary expert with a birthday message as she appeared on the BBC<\/a>‘s The One Show in a special episode celebrating her 90th birthday.<\/p>\n

Berry was played a series of birthday messages from famous friends, kicking off with a message from Prince William<\/a>, leaving the baking guru stunned.<\/p>\n

“I want to wish you a very happy 90th birthday,” Prince William<\/a> said in a selfie-style video. “You are a true national treasure, and we\u2019ve loved working with you over the years. Have a fantastic day today.”<\/p>\n

He then joked, “I dread to think who\u2019s cooking your cake and the criticism they might get, but good luck and I hope it goes really well.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Prince and Princess of Wales once enjoyed a five-course meal prepared by Michelin-star chefs at a charity…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12710,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,533,2832,532,8691,8606,8690,8689,2831,8692,7710,519,7711,7712,8694,8693],"class_list":{"0":"post-12709","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-catherine","10":"tag-catherine-middleton","11":"tag-kate-middleton","12":"tag-prince-of-wales","13":"tag-prince-william","14":"tag-prince-william-news","15":"tag-princess-kate","16":"tag-princess-kate-cooking","17":"tag-princess-kate-news","18":"tag-princess-of-wales","19":"tag-princess-william-latest","20":"tag-royal-families","21":"tag-royal-family","22":"tag-uk-royal-family","23":"tag-william","24":"tag-william-cooking","25":"tag-william-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114323120836415681","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
