The Princess of Wales made the revelation during a visit to the Oxford House Nursing Home yesterday.
The 41-year-old traveled to the Slough care center to meet with its residents and hardworking staff on Shrove Tuesday, shortly before joining a pancake-making workshop in honor of the special occasion.
Kate’s participation in the culinary lesson went down a storm with her hosts after she managed to destroy one of her pancakes with her less-than-impressive flipping skills. The princess’s batter became stuck to the frying pan at one point, prompting her to rely on a spatula to break it up.
“I’m sorry,” she told the two people who were facilitating the activity. “I really haven’t done you justice.”
Kate also took time to chat individually with the nursing home’s residents, one of whom was 109-year-old Nora.
The pair bonded over both being Capricorns, with the princess’s birthday (January 9) falling just two days after Nora’s.
Kate also asked Nora what her favorite food was, to which the centenarian replied, “Kidneys and Brussels sprouts.”
“Oh, kidneys!” the royal exclaimed. “I love kidneys too!”
It’s no secret that Kate Middleton’s diet is crucial for fueling her exercise regime, which reportedly includes an intensive schedule of HIIT workouts and plenty of strength training.
The mother of three is said to prioritize eating high-protein foods to ensure muscle recovery, so it should come as no surprise that beef kidney, which contains the rare amino acid L-ergothioneine, is a favorite on her meal plan.
