Kate Middleton has offered a glimpse into her food preferences during a visit to a family-run Indian restaurant in Leicester. The Princess of Wales stopped by Bobby’s on the city’s “Golden Mile” on March 5 while celebrating the culture and heritage of the British Indian community following the Hindu festival of Holi.
During the visit, Kate sampled dishes and asked whether one of the treats was “sweet or savory.” She also revealed she is comfortable with spicy food and declined to add sugar to her tea while chatting with restaurant owners Dharmesh and Enna Lakhani.
The princess has previously said she enjoys cooking curry at home and tends to prepare different spice levels for her family—a milder version for her children, and a spicier one for herself and Prince William.
