A new trend has emerged in the past year or so at royal engagements: the covert, semi-shaky iPhone recording filmed as a duke or duchess speaks to a non-royal well-wisher at the appearance. Because the royals don’t often give press conferences or interviews (or have personal social-media accounts), this is, strangely enough, some of the best insight we have into what they’re . . . actually like.

Today, during a visit at the King Henry’s Walk Garden, the Duchess of Cambridge was essentially quizzed by a group of children as they made pizzas together for preparation in an outdoor oven. Kate engages in a spirited debate about preferred pizza toppings (she is perplexed by the proposition of cucumbers on a pizza). She then shares, in a revealing moment (we’re, of course, kidding to a degree, but given royal standards, this is actually sort of an intriguing tidbit!), that she . . . likes bacon on her pizza. “It’s like having pepperoni but not so spicy,” she explains. (If the bacon lobby doesn’t rush advertisements with this Duchess of Cambridge endorsement, that will be a major disappointment.)

One of these intrepid young future-journalists then asks Kate if the Queen has ever eaten pizza. An interesting query! “That’s such a good question, I don’t know,” Kate responded. “Maybe next time I see her, shall I ask?”

The wide-ranging conversation then turns to her own children, as one of the assembled kids asks if he can meet Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Kate explains that she wishes the trio were present, but that they’re in school. “George and Charlotte would love to be learning outside the classroom,” she said. “It’s still fun inside, but it’s much better outside.” She added, of George, “He’s learning about space.”

Sadly the Oscar nomination voting period has ended or otherwise we would suggest a proper F.Y.C. campaign for this minute-and-50-seconds clip.
