WhenKate Middleton,Prince Williamand their children gather ’round to enjoy Christmas dinner, their meal might include some vegetables from the family’s very own royal vegetable patch.

In a fitting tribute, Kate also revealed that her 4-year-old daughterPrincess Charlottelikes a certain crop of their potatoes. “Charlotte obviously likes her Charlotte potatoes,” she says with a smile. (Charlotte potatoes are the most popular salad potato in the U.K. — and similar to new potatoes with their creamy texture.)

Kate has often commented on how much her children — includingPrince George— love getting creative in the kitchen, revealing that most recently the whole family made homemade pizzas together (using Berry’s recipe of course!) and that she always makes her children’s birthday cakes from scratch — but doesn’t always get the measurements quite right.
“I love making the cake,” the royal mom shared. “It’s become a bit of a tradition that I stay up ’til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But I love it.”
Meanwhile,Prince Williamreveals how hetries to explain what it means to be homeless to his children. VisitingThe Passagecharity, he told Berry during the show. “On the school run – I know it sounds a little bit contrite – but on the school run already, bear in mind 6 and 4, whenever we see someone who is sleeping rough on the street I talk about it and I point it out and I explain.”
