Referencing this, Kate is said to have joked that “as a parent you know you’ll keep losing your cup of tea” otherwise. A lot can be learnt from a light-hearted quip like this and her confession is something many parents will likely relate to.<\/p>\n

It seems that Prince George, Charlotte and Louis keep their mum on her toes, as most children do. The moment the Princess makes a cup of tea, she could be asked to help with something or get involved with something, meaning that being able to drink on-the-go is a must if she wants to avoid cold tea.<\/p>\n
This is certainly what her remark seems to suggest and given how sporty and outdoorsy the Wales kids are, I can easily imagine this being the case. Both the Prince and Princess of Wales are known to be incredibly hands-on parents, sharing the school run and pausing engagements as much as possible during the holidays.<\/p>\n
Even when Kate is abroad, she reportedly remains committed to organising Prince George, Charlotte and Louis\u2019s daily schedule and playdates. Back in 2022 when the Waleses were in the Caribbean, it was alleged that she was awake in the small hours arranging things.<\/p>\n

“For the [Princess of Wales] a mother\u2019s duties never end,” claimed the Daily Mail<\/a>\u2019s Rebecca English. “When Kate\u2019s jet lag kicked in during this week\u2019s Caribbean tour, seeing her wide awake in the middle of the night, I\u2019m told she has spent the time \u2018tap-tap-tapping\u2019 WhatsApp messages organising everything from George\u2019s football matches to Charlotte\u2019s ballet lessons and little Louis\u2019s bedtime routine back in the UK.”<\/p>\n As much as she\u2019s a future Queen Consort, we must remember that Kate is also a devoted mum, and she\u2019s focused on balancing her parenting duties with her royal role. Her relatable tea confession also shows that she\u2019s balancing both of these things with “me” time and finding a moment to enjoy a cuppa in peace might not always be easy for the busy Princess.<\/p>\n (Image credit: Photo by Kelvin Boyes\/Pool\/Samir Hussein\/WireImage)<\/p>\n When it comes to how she takes her tea, it’s very unfussy and this could save on a bit of time too. As reported by Hello!<\/a>, a fan asked on X (formerly known as Twitter) about this after she visited Kilcooley Women’s Centre and drank a cup in 2020.<\/p>\n The centre responded that Kate likes her tea “just like us [with a] little bit of milk”, adding, “so down to earth we were enchanted”. So Her Royal Highness is a big fan of Builder\u2019s Tea as it\u2019s commonly known in the UK and aside from brewing time, it\u2019s very quick to make, meaning she can be quickly on her way helping out Prince George, Charlotte and Louis.<\/p>\n TOPICS<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/SwH8oURy9aMX24LyvFkDvS.jpg\")
