The Princess of Wales once let slip that husband Prince William has a clumsy habit at home that she finds annoying, and says he’s a ‘nightmare’ for doing it

The Prince and Princess of Wales

With the New Year in full swing, the Prince and Princess of Wales will no doubt be getting back down to work.

Their three children have all returned to school for the new term and William has even carried out his first engagement of the year, surprising inspirational fundraisers Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield with their CBEs. But for many royals fans, they will have long pondered what William and Kate are like in the comfort of their own home at Adelaide Cottage when they are off duty. Well, it seems that the prince has one rather messy trait – and it’s something that annoys Kate.

On a trip to an RAF base in Cyprus in 2018, they met military personnel serving on the island and opened a new recreation facility. Looking around at the new decor of the room, William warned: “Keep the pizza off the sofas”. And then Kate revealed her husband is the worst offender for it, saying: “You’re a nightmare with that”, reports the Express. But it seems it’s not just pizza that the royal pair enjoy eating – and trying to keep off the sofa – while relaxing at home, as there are other takeaways they are rather partial to on an evening.

When asked what her top takeaway was during an interview on BBC Radio 1 in 2017, Kate insisted: “Curry, definitely.” But the royal couple can’t share their meals as Kate explained that her husband doesn’t like her spicy tastes. Meanwhile, William revealed his favourite curry during an appearance on That Peter Crouch Podcast.

He told the hosts of the BBC show: “Chicken masala, love that, a bit of flavour – I’m not a vindaloo man put it that way.” But like many of us, he also confessed he struggles to decide what cuisine to go for when choosing a takeaway.

The pair also enjoy fish and chips and in 2021 were seen enjoying a fish supper during a trip to the Scottish town of St Andrews, where they met. The royal couple popped into the award-winning Anstruther Fish Bar in the coastal town of Anstruther for a £7.95 takeaway haddock supper, wrapped in paper, which they ate on a bench on the pier.
