In a delightful revelation, Princess Kate recently shared her daughter Princess Charlotte‘s rather sophisticated snack preference.
At just nine years old, Charlotte has developed a taste that seems quite refined for a child of her age.
This charming tidbit surfaced during a school visit to North London back in 2019, when Charlotte was too young to attend classes independently.
It was here that her mother, Princess Kate, let slip that Charlotte has a particular fondness for olives.
This choice might raise eyebrows, given that olives are often seen as an acquired taste, especially for children who typically lean towards sweeter snacks.
Yet, at Lavender Primary School in Enfield, Charlotte proudly declared her love for these salty delights.
The occasion was part of Children’s Mental Health Week, where she was encouraged to bring something that brought her joy.
For Charlotte, that item was a cherished family photograph featuring herself and Prince William at Amher Hall in Norfolk.
Princess Kate’s insight into her daughter’s culinary preferences hints at a family connection.
In 2018, during a visit to Great Ormond Street Hospital, she mentioned to a four-year-old patient that she, too, enjoyed olives as a child.
It seems that Charlotte’s taste for these briny treats may very well be a family trait passed down from her mother.
While Charlotte typically enjoys a well-balanced diet, she also indulges in occasional treats.
A memorable moment captured by the media occurred during a royal tour of Canada and the USA prior to Charlotte’s birth.
The couple was spotted relishing popcorn at an NBA game in New York City back in 2014, showcasing another side of their royal lifestyle.
Kate was particularly seen dipping into a bucket of popcorn, proving that even royals enjoy a good snack.
As the year progressed, the Princess of Wales stepped back from public engagements after announcing her cancer treatment in March.
Despite this, on May 2, the royal family celebrated Charlotte’s ninth birthday with a new photo.
The image featured a beaming Charlotte enjoying a sunny day in the garden, dressed in a denim skirt, tights, and a maroon cardigan layered over a navy jumper and floral shirt.
In the photograph, Charlotte’s long golden hair cascades loosely over her shoulders, offering a relaxed look that contrasts with her usual royal styling.
Typically, her hair is seen partially pulled back or braided for formal occasions, but this more casual style reflects a carefree spirit.
Royal fans took to social media to express their admiration for the birthday photo, noting how much Charlotte has grown.
