Usually when we hear “celebrities are just like us,” we roll our eyes and say something like, “Not really.” This is especially true when it comes to British monarchs. Well, who could be more different from us than them? However, we've learned something about Prince William and Kate Middleton that makes us wonder if we may have more in common with them than we thought, and that includes their eating habits.

The royal couple recently, and the host asked them questions about what television programs they look and, what probably worried everyone the most: “Can you order food at home if you want?” To which Prince William said that ordering food at home is actually “very important” to them.


When it comes to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, there's no doubt that they have a huge selection of all kinds of food to choose from, so what more could these two want that they can't get in the royal kitchen? For Kate, the answer always seems to be the same - Indian food, especially curry. Will, however, told the presenter:

This is for real Difficult choice. Pizza, curry or Chinese food.

According to Kate, it really can be very difficult for him to decide. In fact, the only thing that makes the choice a little easier is that he can't stand overly spicy food.


Well, of course, just when we thought that we would have a lot of things to talk about if we met the royal couple, they immediately brought us back to earth by saying that in fact, other people order food for them , take it from the courier and bring it to them. So no, they are not exactly “like us.” But at least we're all no strangers to the complexity of choices when it comes to ordering food to take home.

The heir to the British throne was named George Alexander Louis.

Official sources announced that members royal family They are "delighted to announce" their son's name, adding that the child, who is third in line to the throne, will be styled His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge. Six previous British kings have been named George, and it was the name that was leading British bookmakers before Wednesday's announcement. The announcement - two days after the baby's birth - was quite quick by royal standards. It took Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh a month before settling on the name Charles Prince of Wales. It took only a week for Princess Diana and Prince Charles to choose four of William's names.

On Wednesday, the couple presented their son to his great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, who was eager to see the child before her annual wedding began. summer holidays in Scotland later this week. The 87-year-old Queen made the short trip from Buckingham Palace and spent about half an hour with her child. Prince Harry also visited his nephew.

The Duchess of Cambridge, the former Kate Middleton, gave birth to her first child, a son, on Monday afternoon. It was announced in a press release from Kensington Palace, which said the Duchess was "safely delivered of her son" at 4:24 pm local time, weighing 8 pounds 6 ounces (approximately 3.8 kilograms).

"The Duke of Cambridge was present at the birth," the statement said. "The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry and members of both families have been informed and are delighted with the news."

Mother and son are doing well and will remain in hospital overnight. "We couldn't be happier," Prince William said through a spokesman. He spends the night in the hospital with his wife and newborn. A CBS News source also reports that William was with the duchess during the birth.

The royal couple's child will be officially named HRH The Prince of Cambridge. William was given the title of Duke by his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, on his wedding day in 2011. Earlier this year, the Queen issued a royal decree that all of William and Kate's children will be named Prince or Princess. The decree states that "all children of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales shall possess the attributes of Royal Highness with the titles of Prince or Princess as a prefix to their Christian names or to other honorary titles."

It will be possible to find out the child's name soon - the royal family will reveal it in official statement, in the coming hours or days. The newborn prince will be third in line to the British throne.

Prince William will receive 2 weeks of leave as a new father.



He may be king, but when it comes to paternity leave, Prince William is in the same position as everyone else. Like thousands of other new fathers in the UK, he will get two weeks' leave when his baby is born. Along with British society, the royal family gradually modernized its approach to having and raising children. William's father, Prince Charles, was present at the birth of his two sons, who were born in hospital rather than in the palace, as tradition dictated. But William will be the first prince to receive paternity leave, which was introduced in Britain in 2003.

Some families believe that Prince William, an Air Force search and rescue helicopter pilot, is serving good example to other fathers who do not often use due vacation. The government says less than half of fathers take full leave. Others believe that two weeks is not enough to care for a newborn, and for some, the socio-economic status of the family will not allow them to take a break from work.

Kate Middleton and Prince William met in 2001 while studying at the University of St. Andrews. Their relationship history is similar to a beautiful fairy tale about Cinderella. The future duchess was a girl from a simple family. She was born in the city of Reading in the English county of Berkshire to a flight attendant and air traffic controller. No one could even imagine what fate awaited this girl.

Rumor has it that Kate's mother Carole Middleton persuaded her daughter to enter the University of St. Andrews in order to be closer to William and to please her young man. It was probably because of the future duchess that Prince William did not go to study elsewhere when he became disillusioned with his Art History major, but simply transferred to the Faculty of Geography.

Rumor has it that Prince William noticed the girl at a charity fashion show that took place at their university. Kate showed off a translucent dress on the catwalk. From 2001 to 2005, rumors constantly arose about the engagement of young people, but they were not confirmed. And in 2007, the couple broke up completely. One of the reasons for the breakup was the pressure on the lovers from the public, another was the immaturity of Prince William. According to American biographer Christopher Anderson, Camilla Parker-Bowles, William's stepmother, was involved in the separation. She wanted to outshine Kate, who was gaining popularity, so she persuaded Prince Charles to put pressure on his son.

“I never even dreamed of becoming a princess. I dreamed of becoming a pilot,” Kate said in an interview with British publications.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are the face of Great Britain and represent the country with official visits abroad. Media representatives follow their every move, so it is not surprising that from time to time rumors arise about Kate being too thin or, conversely, about her pregnancy.

Evil tongues keep saying that not everything is as good in the royal family as it seems. Rumor has it that Prince William is communicating with his ex-lover Jessica Craig. Such rumors were aggravated by the Duke's trip to Kenya alone. This is where his ex-girlfriend lives. This meeting was not the only one Lately. Before one of the international conferences in Madrid, Jessica and William met at the airport. The prince also attended Jessica's brother's wedding, missing his own cousin's.

Another rumor that appears to be true is that 90-year-old Elizabeth II may abdicate the throne in favor of William and Catherine. The main reason for this decision is that they are very popular among British citizens. The Duke himself does not believe in this.

“My grandmother is still very active in her position, although she maintains a passive position when it comes to politics and generally stays away from it. Perhaps my grandmother is best example to be emulated and the best example of what a monarch should be,” William said in an interview with the BBC.

Kate Middleton is not only the favorite of millions of Britons, but also fashionistas around the world. The mother of two children is rightfully considered a style icon, and her dressing style is copied by hundreds of girls. Many believe that Prince William is very lucky with his wife. But the Duke of Cambridge himself cannot boast perfect appearance. His wife more than once hinted to him that his bald spot was increasing, which was greatly aging the representative of the royal family. From time to time, Kate expresses dissatisfaction with his wardrobe, hinting that conservative suits It's high time to change.

Despite all the contradictions and disagreements, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are happy together, love each other and their lovely children.
