Prince Williampulled out all the stops to impress his future wifeKate Middletonwhen they were students in college together.
As theroyal couple joined baking expert Mary Berry forA Berry Royal Christmas, which aired in the U.K. on Monday night, Berry asked Kate if William ever cooked for her at home.
“He sometimes does, actually. He’s very good at breakfast. In our university days he used to cook all sorts of meals. I think that’s when he was trying to impress me, Mary,” Kate told Berry with a laugh. “Things like Bolognese sauce and things like that.”

When William was asked if he’d be cooking with their kids — Prince George,Princess Charlotteand Prince Louis — for Christmas, the royal dad replied: “We are talking about doing mince pies this year. I love mince pies. If the children want to cook mince pies then I’m happy to do that.”
And it seemsWilliam and Kate have a couple of veggie loverson their hands. “We grow our own vegetables,” Kate told Berry, adding: “We’ve got carrots, beans, beetroot — a massive favorite — Louis absolutely loves beetroot.”
Kate also revealed that her 4-year-old daughterPrincess Charlottelikes a certain crop of their potatoes. “Charlotte obviously likes her Charlotte potatoes,” she says with a smile. (Charlotte potatoes are the most popular salad potato in the U.K. — and similar to new potatoes with their creamy texture.)
