Recently, royal watchers were given an unprecedented look into the private lives of Catherine, Princess of Wales, and her family, including Prince William and their three children.

A charming video filmed by William at their country retreat, Amner Hall, showcases a serene moment with Catherine gently holding a butterfly while dressed in a stunning Veronica Beard dress.

Despite their royal status, the family enjoys remarkably simple and relatable meals.

From home-cooked pizzas to comforting mac and cheese, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have favorite dinners that reflect their ages and preferences.

George has a particular fondness for pasta, while Charlotte enjoys curry, and Louis is known for his love of vegetables.

Catherine and William have always been open about their family life, sharing sweet anecdotes in interviews. During a visit to a school in Enfield, North London, in February 2019, Catherine shared that her children love cooking, mentioning that George and Charlotte recently made cheesy pasta together. “One stirs the flour, while another puts in the milk and butter,” she explained. Visiting St. Luke’s Community Center, she revealed that the siblings enjoy making pizza, particularly because they love getting their hands messy.

Before their tour of Pakistan in 2019, Catherine discussed her love for cooking curry, noting that she tones down the spices for George and Louis, while Charlotte has a knack for enjoying spicier dishes. She even mentioned that Charlotte likes olives as a snack, while Louis shares a fondness for pizza and curry, along with a keen interest in beetroot and other vegetables.

Darren McGrady, the family’s former chef, who also served Princess Diana, has provided insights into the children’s surprisingly ordinary taste. Catherine mirrors Diana’s hands-on approach to motherhood, actively engaging in daily activities, including school drop-offs, and emphasizing affection within the family. “Hugs are very important,” she said, acknowledging the importance of emotional connection.

In discussions about the challenges of parenting, Catherine highlighted that it’s the small moments that truly count. On the “Happy Mom, Happy Baby” podcast, she expressed her desire for her children to remember joyful experiences, such as family trips to the beach where they can play freely and get soaked.

Mental health is a priority for Catherine and William, who have openly stated that they would seek help for their children if needed. They encourage George and Charlotte to express their feelings and cultivate empathy for their peers as they grow. “A lot of parenthood is faking it until you make it,” Catherine admitted, emphasizing that there’s no rulebook for parenting. “You just have to do the very best you can for your family,” she added.

As the Princess of Wales continues to balance her royal duties with family life, her candid reflections offer a heartwarming glimpse into the nurturing environment she strives to create for her children.
