Kate and William's key date night detail revealed((Image: Getty))
Prince William and Princess Kate might have access to some of the finest restaurants in the country but their ‘perfect date night’ is said to be incredibly low-key – and very relatable
They might be the future King and Queen, but William and Kate are known to be surprisingly down-to-earth behind closed doors – and that extends to their dream date night.
The couple enjoy spending time together with their children in the privacy of their home, and once their brood have gone to bed, they make the most of a relaxed evening on the sofa. “Kate loves nothing more than ordering Indian takeaway and eating it from a dinner tray on the couch while watching a bit of Netflix with William,” an insider previously told Us Weekly .
As for what they watch, the source said Kate and William “used to catch up on Game of Thrones together every couple of weeks, and most recently they binged Bodyguard”. The royals have spoken about their love of an Indian takeaway before. Back in 2017, the Princess revealed her number one takeaway while speaking to BBC Radio 1 with Prince William. “Curry, definitely,” she confirmed. “It doesn’t usually get ordered to the palace, we tend to go and pick it up,” before quickly adding: “Not ourselves!”
While Kate enjoys her food spicy, William admitted he prefers to opt for a milder dish. He told footballer Peter Crouch on his podcast in 2020 he is “not a vindaloo man put it that way” and prefers a chicken tikka masala. And during an appearance on Radio 1, Prince William said he also enjoys eating Nando’s after being introduced to the restaurant by his police protection officer.
Despite having access to some of the world’s finest cuisines at their fingertips, takeaways are a popular treat within the Royal Family – and that included the late Queen. An insider previously confirmed to Fabulous: “She very occasionally treated herself to fish and chips when at Balmoral. A footman is dispatched to get it from the local town of Ballater.”
Her Majesty also enjoyed a kebab in the past, according to Hello! magazine. Royal correspondent Jayne Seymour revealed that Krazy Kebabs takeaway in Swaffham got a delivery order by telephone to Sandringham House. The delivery driver told Jayne: “I assumed the food was for a servant. But when I got to the entrance a butler took it and said it was for the Queen. I hope she enjoyed it – we are known for the best kebabs in Norfolk.” Meanwhile, in an interview with her son Tom Parker Bowles for YOU Magazine, Queen Camilla revealed her favourite takeaway is a classic British staple. “Freshly cooked fish and chips, wrapped in paper,” she said. “That smell. You cannot beat proper fish and chips.”
And King Charles seems to be a fan of pizza. He previously revealed his favourite topping in November 2019, while on a visit to Scotland . Charles laughed as he was presented with a Margarita pizza from a member of the public as he greeted crowds in St Boswells. Chef Erminio Di Meo told the Press Association: “I wanted to give him the pizza as he is such a big part of this country. He was curious, he smiled and I said ‘it’s a margherita’. I believe the Prince said ‘it’s my favourite’.”
