It might surprise royal fans to know that the Princess of Wales loves to personally cook for her husband Prince William and three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Though William and his brother Prince Harry were treated to professionally-cooked meals courtesy of private chef Darren McGrady growing up, the future king has acknowledged his wife's cooking skills in comparison to his own, revealing that she is "very good" in the kitchen.

Not only does Kate, 42, get stuck into the cooking, but she has also been known to shop for her own ingredients. The Princess has been spotted on a number of occasions at her local supermarket - the most unlikely of settings for the future monarch's wife to spend her time.

The mother of three has been spotted on a number of occasions picking up the essentials in her local Waitrose both before and after her royal wedding.

The newlywed Duchess of Cambridge was seen sporting skinny jeans in 2011 when she popped to the shop near her remote home in Anglesey during William's last months as a search and rescue pilot with the Royal Air Force.

The royal was said to have loaded all of the shopping into her Audi A3 herself with her protection officer in close range.

Since then, Kate was spotted at a Waitrose in Norfolk in 2018 during her pregnancy with Prince Louis. No doubt the doting mother picked up lots of high-quality fresh ingredients including pickles and avocados - her pregnancy cravings - and packed them into her reusable bags.

Sainsbury's

The King's daughter-in-law has switched up her shopping game, occasionally popping into Sainsbury's.
