Prince William<\/a> once reportedly played a funny prank on his cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie<\/a> around Easter time when they were all very small.<\/p>\n

As many people across the world will be celebrating Easter, former royal chef Darren McGrady shared that William<\/a> once pranked his cousins with an unusual chocolate egg<\/a>. Former royal chef Darren McGrady said: “[The chocolate egg] had a clock on the top striking one and a sugared mouse peeking out of a mousehole. He said: “Nanny asked me to return this. Prince William<\/a> has just stood on a chair and bitten the mouse\u2019s head off, frightening Beatrice and Eugenie.”<\/p>\n

He then went on to say that he jumped to action, quickly making another mouse to replace the one Prince William<\/a> had destroyed.<\/p>\n

Mr McGrady added: “I think Nanny put the egg out of William\u2019s reach to make sure it didn\u2019t happen again.”<\/p>\n

He then recalls the late Queen Elizabeth II as being a “chocoholic” – adding that William is also a fan of the delicious sweet treat too.<\/p>\n

Having worked for the Royal Family for over 15 years, Mr McGrady said that the late Queen enjoyed a chocolate biscuit cake and, as he was a fan too, William requested it as his groom\u2019s cake for his wedding in April 2011.<\/p>\n

During a virtual visit to a school in Lancashire in 2020, the children showed their Easter bonnets to the Prince and Princess of Wales.<\/p>\n

Showcasing how much he likes chocolate, William told them, “There’ll be a lot of chocolate being eaten”. To which Kate laughed as she added: “You keep eating it!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William once reportedly played a funny prank on his cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie around Easter…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36641,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,3751,533,2832,532,21078,21077,13082,13084,2831,7710,519,15426,7711,7712],"class_list":{"0":"post-36640","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-easter","12":"tag-kate-middleton","13":"tag-prince-of-wales","14":"tag-prince-william","15":"tag-prince-william-cousins","16":"tag-prince-william-prank","17":"tag-princess-beatrice","18":"tag-princess-eugenie","19":"tag-princess-of-wales","20":"tag-royal-families","21":"tag-royal-family","22":"tag-royal-family-easter","23":"tag-uk-royal-family","24":"tag-william"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114372481075577852","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36640","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=36640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36640\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
