Princess Kate's 'Messy' Home Activity with Children
The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has shared a delightful insight into her family's home life during a surprise visit to Northern Ireland. On October 14th, she and Prince William visited an apple farm in Armagh, known as Ireland's Orchard County. They stopped by Long Meadow Farm, a family-owned orchard that has been producing cider, apple juice, and vinegar since 1968. During their visit, Kate recalled a fun activity she does with her children at home: using a hand press to press apples.
"We tried this at home with a hand press. It was quite good fun with the children. It was very messy," she said with a smile. This simple yet engaging activity showcases Kate's commitment to creating memorable moments with her children, even in the midst of a royal tour.
In another heartwarming moment, Kate revealed Prince Louis's current obsession: collecting conkers. She shared that they keep finding conkers in unexpected places, from cupboards to his bed, and even in his toy trucks. This playful admission highlights the Princess's light-hearted approach to parenting and her ability to find joy in everyday activities.
Kate and William's Visit to Northern Ireland
The royal couple's visit to Northern Ireland also included a visit to a state-of-the-art firefighter training facility near Cookstown. Kate humorously expressed her desire to drive the fire engine at full speed with the sirens on, but the driver politely declined her request. This light-hearted moment showcased Kate's playful spirit and her willingness to engage in fun activities, even in a professional setting.
The visit to the firefighter training facility was a unique opportunity for the royal couple to interact with newly qualified firefighters, like Caoimhe McNeice, who joined them for a ride in the back of a fire engine. This interaction highlights the royal family's commitment to supporting and engaging with various communities and professions.
