One girl asked: ‘Has the Queen ever eaten pizza?’ Kate, on her first public engagement of the year, smiled and replied: ‘That’s such a good question, I don’t know. Next time I see her, shall I ask?’
The duchess also met designers with whom she will work on the Royal Horticultural Society’s garden at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show. The Back To Nature garden has been inspired by childhood memories of playing outside and will highlight the benefits of the great outdoors.
Kate will also help on a garden at Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, one at RHS Wisley in Surrey and an NHS garden.
