Kate Middleton is not confident about her math skills and has admitted that she's terrible at the subject, especially when she has to teach her children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
The two older Cambridge kids, who are in Year 3 and Year 1 at Thomas's Battersea in London, are currently homeschooling since primary and secondary schools across the United Kingdom are still closed. Unfortunately, their mom has the burden of guiding them with their school work, which Kate said is exhausting.
When asked how she'd rate her math skills from one to 10 during a video conference call with other teachers and parents, Kate surprisingly gave herself a score of -5. The Duchess of Cambridge remarked, with a laugh, that she is obviously at the bottom of the ranking against the other moms or dads.
Last year, when it was Prince William's turn to guide the kids, the Duke of Cambridge also said that he's having trouble with "Year 2 maths." In a podcast show with fellow dads, William said that he's embarrassed about admitting that he has forgotten what he learned from school. He also said that his wife has a lot more patience with homeschooling the children.
Kate might not be a math whiz but she is a wizard in the kitchen, according to Hello! She loves to cook her husband's favorite meals, like roast chicken or steak. She also prepares her grandmother's chutney to give as presents. Queen Elizabeth loved this so much, she had it served for their Christmas breakfast one time.
While in lockdown, the Duchess of Cambridge allows her kids to get messy in the kitchen as well, as they prepare pastries and pasta for the family to share. The Cambridges also like to make pizza from scratch together.
Baking cakes is something that Kate has mastered for years. She told famous TV cook Mary Berry that it has become a tradition in her family to stay up late to make her children's birthday cake.
Meanwhile, as Kate keeps her motherly duties a priority, she also has her work as a senior royal. According to Daily Mirror, Kate is hatching another initiative for "silent victims" of the pandemic. Details of this new project are still under wraps but the Duchess of Cambridge intends to tap charities that are still focused on children and families. This initiative will likely tie-up with the Early Years project she launched in January 2020.
