It appears that many members of the royal family have a sweet tooth, and during a trip to the Duchy College in Cornwall, Prince William revealed what dessert his wife, the Princess of Wales really enjoys.
After visiting the college’s criminology department, William toured the establishment’s student and staff hub, Sam’s Café, where he was presented with one of his favourite cakes, the refrigerated breakfast cake, which formed one of the layers of William’s wedding cake. The dessert was also a favourite of the late Queen’s and it consists of chocolate, butter, sugar, cream and biscuits.
The cake was presented to William by chef Darren Watson, who had been undertaking a lot of research in order to uncover the desserts loved by the royals.
When Darren told William that he had discovered that Kate’s favourite pudding was a sticky toffee pudding, William confirmed this, saying: “Very good.”

The college is on grounds owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, which William became the owner of after he succeeded his father as Duke of Cornwall. The royal had been due to tour the college earlier in the year, but his visit was postponed after Kate fell ill with cancer.

“This college has a deep seated history and partnership with the Duchy and the second he walked down that hill you could tell he was connected to the place…he didn’t feel like a visitor, he just felt like part of the team.”

The couple added: “It doesn’t usually get ordered to the palace, we tend to go and pick it up,” before jokingly adding “not ourselves!”
