Even royals like to get their hands dirty.

In a visit to the Imperial War Museum in London on Wednesday, Duchess Kate revealed a new skill which she is still quite embarrassed about as it's only early days. According to Hello!, speaking to a member of staff at the museum, Kate revealed that she has started gardening. Explaining why she chose to pick up the hobby, the royal explained that gardening was "a bit of a family thing", with her grandmother loving any chance to be outdoors. Looking through letters written by her ancestors in the museum, Kate said:

"I think I saw one of the letters that one of them wrote home asking for cauliflower seeds..."

Laughing, she then spoke about her early attempts in her own garden saying:

"You should not see my cauliflowers! I'm still learning."

Kate spent time in the museum learning about her ancestors, including three of her great granduncle's who died during WW1. Speaking about this tragedy, the Duchess of Cambridge said:

"I am sure so many families had this type of letter, sad stories. Three brothers in such a short time."

Kate is now back completing royal engagements having taken mid-term off to enjoy with her children. Kate will be joining her husband William as well as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle next week when they all attend the Festival of Remembrance service on Saturday, November 10.
