While many may assume that being the Duchess of Cambridge means Kate never has to pick up a wooden spoon or doing the washing up, life at Apartment 1A Kensington Palace is fairly normal at meal times.
Both Kate and Wills are regulars in the kitchen and enjoy whipping up the evening meal, and even George and Charlotte have started to learn the basics.
Back in 2016, Kate and William joked about her cookery skill, saying: "William has to put up with my cooking most of the time."
Cheeky Wills then replied: "It's the reason I'm so skinny."
But what exactly does the Duchess eat in a typical day?
Despite having a nanny, Kate spends her days running around after her three kids and has a busy schedule of meetings and royal engagements.

"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."
Snacks
Most of us know what it's like to have a sugar craving at some point in the day, but rather than reaching for the chocolate Kate has a healthier alternative.

Kate Middleton’s pal almost ruined her 21st birthday – putting Wills in awkward position
Before starting her royal life Kate was often spotted popping into her local shop to pick up a packet of Haribo, and we hope she still enjoys them now.
The owner of her local shop, the Peaches Spar store in her home village of Bucklebury, Berkshire, said: @She came in with her mother and bought Haribos. She also bought French bread, ham, salami, cream and eggs, and her favourite mags, Hello! Tatler and Elle.
"Kate loves Haribo Starmix – they’re her favourites – and Tangfastics."
Booze
Kate has never been a big drinker, even during her student days.
One of her gap year friends Florence previously said: "She would like a glass of wine but couldn't really handle her drink. She’d get giggly and silly after a few glasses, so then she would stop.
"She was never interested in getting really drunk. She never ever let herself get out of control."
Another pal added: "When everyone was getting drunk Kate would often just sip one glass of wine."
A source told the Mail: "She’s not a heavy wine quaffer. A 6pm glass of brutally chilled Chardonnay is sufficient."
