Concealed from the public eye, one can speculate that Prince and Princess of Wales, behind closed doors, exhibit the same domestic tendencies as any other cohabiting couple. Picture them engaged in the age-old dispute over culinary duties, or engaged in light-hearted conversation while peeling vegetables for their traditional Sunday roast.
An individual who was granted a glimpse into the intriguing dynamic between the royal couple in the culinary realm is the esteemed figure of the Great British Bake Off, Mary Berry. During the production of her 2019 festive special, “A Berry Royal Christmas,” she spent time with the Prince and Princess of Wales.
In an exclusive interview with S Magazine, Mary Berry imparted her insider observations concerning Princess Kate and Prince William’s collaborative efforts in the kitchen, affirming, “Catherine is an accomplished culinary artist. She dabbled in the art of piping and an array of other gastronomic pursuits, revealing a strong spirit of competitiveness.”
It should come as no shock that Princess Kate’s competitive spirit extends to her partnership with Prince William, and that competitiveness surfaces in the culinary realm, as Mary Berry elucidated further, “William and Catherine were jointly engaged in the act of cooking, and their sheer enjoyment was unmistakable.
Recalling the moment they inquired, ‘Who emerged victorious?’ I was inclined to remark, ‘I believe it was a tie.’ Their culinary skills were strikingly balanced, undoubtedly a fitting conclusion,” Mary added.
The competitive nature of Prince William and Princess Kate may indeed be a pivotal element in the foundation of their harmonious relationship. Psychotherapist and founder of the Luxe Psychology Practice, Jade Thomas, shed light on this, stating, “Competitiveness can inject a significant measure of exhilaration, motivation, and ambition into a relationship.
When two individuals share a competitive disposition, they are inherently compatible as they share congruent values and an equal impetus,” Jade continued.
Psychotherapist Dana Moinian of The Soke echoed this sentiment, contributing, “Mutual competitiveness can serve as a source of mutual encouragement within a romantic partnership. Competitive individuals generally aspire to elevate their benchmarks progressively.
Thus, when both members of a couple harbor the same competitive mindset, it can yield positive outcomes in terms of their overall progress.”
As for their culinary aptitude, Princess Kate has consistently demonstrated her culinary finesse over the years, actively participating in culinary preparations during her public engagements. Whether it be the creation of bread from scratch, aiding a charitable organization in soup production, or embellishing cakes, she has been unswervingly involved.
Additionally, she undertakes baking endeavors with her offspring, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Witness their home video, a record of their collaborative cake-making endeavor in tribute to the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
