Despite her royal status, Kate, the Princess of Wales, values an everyday family life with Prince William. In a 2019 interview during an official engagement, she revealed her enjoyment of cooking with her children, a surprisingly ordinary activity for a future queen.
Prince William has a particular fondness for a classic British dish: roast chicken. Kate frequently prepares this meal for her husband, according to royal correspondent Katie Nicholl. As Nicholl told Vanity Fair in 2012, “In the evenings she indulges her hobby of cooking William’s favourite supper, roast chicken.”
These glimpses into the couple’s private life offer a reminder of their early days together in Wales. From 2010 to 2013, William and Kate lived on the Isle of Anglesey while William served as a search and rescue pilot with the Royal Air Force.
While roast chicken is a personal favourite of William’s, the Royal Family enjoys a diverse range of cuisines. During a visit to St. Luke’s Community Centre in 2018, Kate joined the children in making pizzas, sharing, “I’ve done that with George and Charlotte making pizza dough. They love it because they can get their hands messy.”

Kate and William promoted the Commonwealth Big Lunch project in 2018, an international initiative encouraging community gatherings. The couple is known to enjoy takeaway meals, with Indian or Chinese cuisine being their favourites.
In a 2017 interview with BBC Radio 1 host Scott Mills, the Prince and Princess of Wales confirmed that they can order takeaways. Kate revealed her preference for curry, while William admitted to being “not so good with spice”.
Even Queen Camilla, with access to the finest cuisine, enjoys the occasional takeaway. In an interview with her son, Tom Parker Bowles, for YOU Magazine, she revealed her love for traditional fish and chips.
“Freshly cooked fish and chips wrapped in paper—that smell. You cannot beat proper fish and chips,” she admitted with a hint of nostalgia.
