Princess Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, once again shocked fans with her presence at this year’s Wimbledon men’s final. In a surprise to the public, she stole the show when she presented the trophy. The event marked a significant moment in her royal engagements, showcasing her continued commitment to public life, even as she navigates personal challenges.
Kate Middleton has previously spoken about how she likes to bake and how it’s helped her raise a family. Most often, she’s called out her love of food as a way to foster those great memories she’s made with her children. In one of those previous discussions, legendary British chef Mary Berry talked about her love of baking. She added, “I enjoy baking the cake.”
Her eldest child, Prince George, is preparing to celebrate his own milestone birthday, as he turns 12 on July 22. Kate will surely want to reopen her baking tradition to honor this momentous occasion! Friends and colleagues will always remember how she’d be found after hours in the kitchen. She laughs as she confesses, “It’s kind of turned into this tradition that I’m up ’til midnight with buckets of cake mix and icing, and I end up making way too much.” This dedication is a window into her expectation that Amelia would help create a magical experience for her family across major milestones.
Baking became a special bonding time for the Princess, especially around big occasions such as birthdays and holidays. Maintaining this tradition is an important thing for her to do, for herself and her children. It helps to maintain family ties in the middle of a busy royal agenda.
Beyond her baking adventures, Kate Middleton continues the royal tradition of capturing her children’s milestones with photography. Brace yourself – you’re in for a great surprise! With every release, the new portrait gives the public a thrilling glimpse into the royal family’s private life.
Kate has withdrawn from royal engagements due to her recent cancer diagnosis. Even after receiving preventative chemotherapy, she remains on the front lines with the public, delivering heartfelt personal messages and making limited, carefully chosen public appearances. As passionate as she is about her family, she brings the same level of commitment and care to her important public role, handling them both with aplomb.
In the meantime, the Cambridge family are continuing their royal duties with as much relaxation as possible with a summer break. The late summer months are when senior royals often convene in Scotland. Their summer plans are largely kept under wraps. Kate and her family are expected to do much of their time at Anmer Hall in Norfolk. They might even be able to rendezvous with King Charles in Balmoral further down the season.
In a festive BBC special titled A Berry Royal Christmas in 2019, Kate shared behind-the-scenes insights into her baking tradition, highlighting its significance during family gatherings.
The Duchess has been busy preparing for Prince George’s first birthday party. She walks the walk, as far as being the face of family tradition in a way that really connects with her fans.
