Prince William has embarked on a significant engagement as the Prince of Wales, touring a college located on his Duchy of Cornwall, which he inherited from King Charles upon his kingship. During the visit, the future monarch not only engaged with students and faculty but also revealed a sweet tooth, discussing his and his wife’s dessert preferences.
As part of the tour, Prince William visited the college’s criminology department and stopped by Sam’s Café, managed by chef Darren Watson. According to PEOPLE!, Watson has been experimenting with recipes to discover the favorite desserts of the British Royal Family. During the visit, he offered Prince William a special refrigerated breakfast cake, a dessert made of chocolate, butter, sugar, cream, and biscuits. The cake is reminiscent of a layer from the prince’s wedding cake.

The prince didn’t stop there. He also revealed his wife, Kate Middleton’s, favorite dessert during the outing. When Chef Watson mentioned sticky toffee pudding, a popular British dessert, William responded enthusiastically with, “Very good,” confirming that the classic pudding is a favorite in their household.

Prince William’s visit to the Duchy of Cornwall is not just a symbolic event but also a meaningful connection to the property he inherited as part of his royal duties.
