Kate middleton: duchess of cambridge has some surprising hobbies

Kate Middleton joined the Royal Family 2011, when she married the Queen’s grandson, Prince William, 37, in a highly televised wedding ceremony held at Westminster Abbey, London. Since their

marriage, the royal couple have had three beautiful children together, Prince George, six, Princess Charlotte, four, and Prince Louis, one. Kate has a number of hobbies that she enjoys when

she is away from the public eye, including photography, which she has passed down to George and Charlotte. Her love of the arts has been well documented over the years and after her marriage

to Prince William, she became the Patron for two of London’s most prominent artistic institutes. She even studied art history at the University of St Andrew - where her thesis as part of

her degree was in photography - so it is no surprise she has passed down her love of capturing things on camera to her children. While out at a Royal Photographic Society seminar run by her

patronage Action for Children last month, the Duchess of Cambridge revealed Prince George and Princess Charlotte love heading outside to take photos. READ MORE: ROYAL 'FAB FOUR' OF

MEGHAN & HARRY AND KATE & WILLIAM WAS A 'MISTAKE' When the Duchess isn’t taking photographs, attending official royal events, or looking after her brood of young, Kate has

a surprising hobby, as revealed by her husband. According to Prince William, Kate is a huge colouring book fan. At least, that’s what he told Johanna Basford, the author of the world-famous

adult colouring book called Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Colouring Book. Basford got the opportunity to meet Prince William at a ceremony where she received an Order of the

British Empire designation, an honour awarded to Britons by the Queen, for her work. Afterward, she told reporters: “Prince William actually said that his wife likes to colour in the Secret

Garden, which was really sweet.” Prince William has also previously revealed that during the season of Strictly Come Dancing, the Duchess and her mother love to watch the dancing competing.

Speaking at a charity gala the Duke of Cambridge explained to Strictly judge Shirley Ballas and Strictly host Claudia Winkleman that Kate is a “huge fan”. He said: "I have watched the

show [Strictly] a couple of times. Catherine is a huge fan and my mother-in-law loves it." Recently, at the BAFTA 2020 awards, Kate joked that having children has prevented her from

doing one of her beloved activities. While Prince William boasted about the amount of films he had seen ahead of the awards, Kate chimed in: “Having children is so bad for watching films!”

However, on a recent visit Kate Middleton got in trouble for a shocking reason, she even had to issue an apology. Kate Middleton had to issue an apology to a three-year-old, after the little

girl was upset the Duchess “didn’t look like Cinderella”. Annabel was very excited to meet a “real life princess” but was completely disheartened when Kate showed up wearing not what the

little girl had expected. Rhian, the mother, said: “Kate said: 'I'm really sorry I'm not wearing a pretty dress today,' and Annabel said: ‘I thought you'd look like

Cinderella’. “My daughter loves fairy tales and Cinderella, and she was really excited to meet a real princess.” However, despite the lack of a princess gown, the three-year-old was

“completely in awe” of the Duchess.
