    This week, it was her pre-royal days that made news as it was revealed that she made a special effort with The Queen during her first royal Christmas.

    'I can remember being at Sandringham, for the first time, at Christmas and I was worried what to give the Queen as her Christmas present,' Kate explained in a documentary made for Her Majesty's 90th birthday.

    'I was thinking, "Gosh, what should I give her?" I thought back to what would I give my own grandparents and I thought, "I'll make her something", which could have gone horribly wrong, but I decided to make my granny's recipe of chutney.'

    Well, that's lovely.
