Future king recalls how Catherine often saved the day while he tried to impress her in the kitchen
Prince William once shared a light-hearted memory about the early days of his romance with Catherine, recalling how she stepped in to rescue him during his attempts to cook impressive meals.
The Prince and Princess of Wales spent nearly a decade together before announcing their engagement in 2010 and later marrying in 2011. During that time, their relationship grew steadily, with many simple and humorous moments shaping their bond.
In their engagement interview with the BBC, the couple looked back on how their relationship developed while they were both students. Catherine admitted she initially felt shy when they first met.
“I remember going bright red when I met you and then quickly walking away because I felt very shy,” she said during the interview.
As they began spending more time together, their friendship gradually turned into a romantic relationship. William later revealed that he often tried to impress Catherine by cooking elaborate meals, though the results were not always successful.
According to him, the kitchen experiments sometimes ended in small disasters. Food would burn, pots would overflow, and on some occasions things even caught fire. During those chaotic moments, Catherine would calmly step in and take charge to sort everything out.
William joked that her ability to handle the situation was something he appreciated greatly, especially since his ambitious cooking plans rarely went as intended.
The amusing story offered a glimpse into the relaxed and supportive dynamic the couple shared long before their royal wedding, highlighting how Catherine’s calm approach often balanced William’s enthusiastic but sometimes chaotic efforts in the kitchen.
