Princess Charlotte has a surprisingly sophisticated taste in food for a nine-year-old. Unlike many children her age who might be content with simple fare like cheese sandwiches and potato dishes, the young Royal has a more refined palate.

According to the Princess of Wales, her children enjoy making salads and their signature dish, cheesy pasta. Kate Middleton has also revealed that Princess Charlotte has a fondness for olives , a taste she shares with her mother, who has previously expressed her own love of olives.

Meanwhile, six-year-old Prince Louis has a remarkable fondness for beetroot, a root vegetable often disliked by children.
