When Prince Harry was a single guy living in a cottage at Kensington Palace, he often stopped by Prince William and Kate Middleton’s 22-room apartment to indulge in her homemade meals. He had a soft spot for Kate’s roast chicken, royal author Angela Levin wrote in a 2017 piece for Newsweek. Kate seems to have been flattered by her brother-in-law’s appreciation of her kitchen skills, as she had no issues sharing her knowledge with him.
“[She gave him] cooking tips, so he would eat more than the Etonian-style fry-ups of which he was so fond,” a source told the Daily Mail in 2016, referring to the prestigious school he and William attended, Eton College. Kate reportedly often cooked for Harry amid William’s months-long assignment with the Royal Air Force in 2008. That way, Kate continued to whip up comfort foods, which she and Harry then enjoyed in front of the TV catching up with “Game of Thrones.”
“From day one Kate made a massive effort with Harry,” the source said. When Harry announced his engagement to Meghan Markle in November 2017, William revealed he was happy for the couple and himself. “For me personally, I hope it means he stays out of my fridge and will stop him scrounging my food, which he’s done for the last few years,” William joked to a reporter in a clip the Prince and Princess of Wales shared to X, previously known as Twitter.
