Typically, most babies' first words are "mama" or "dada," though some other words sneak in their immediate vocabulary like "up," or "baby" or the dreaded "uh-oh." But then there's Prince Louis, and he's no ordinary baby. He's a royal baby, and one of his first words is kind of amazing — especially for fans of popular British baking shows.As we already know, Duchess Kate and Prince William took part in the BBC holiday special A Berry Royal Christmas, starring The Great British Bake Off star herself, Mary Berry. Kate is quite the fan of Berry's and boasts several of the food writer's books. And apparently, Louis has taken a liking to them — and her — himself."One of Louis' first words was 'Mary,' because right at his height are all my cooking books in the kitchen bookshelf," Kate revealed to the 84-year-old during the TV special, according to the Daily Mail. "And children are really fascinated by faces, and your faces are all over your cooking books and he would say 'That's Mary Berry' ... so he would definitely recognize you if he saw you today." Mary should be so honoured. Rumours that Kate would be appearing on a cooking special started swirling in November but by December 2nd, the Cambridges made the official announcement that both Kate and Will would be appearing on the festive program, which would have Berry teaming up with the royals to prepare a "festive feast" for the staff at various charitable organizations in the U.K.
The program, which airs Monday night on BBC, highlights many of Kate's gifts in the kitchen including her piping skills. And she, along with William, Mary and British TV chef Nadiya Hussain, were pictured holding special cakes for this joyous time of year.
The Cambridges took to Instagram today to share their favourite moments from a party they hosted along with Berry, to show their appreciation and give a shoutout to the staff and volunteers of charities and organizations, along with first responders and emergency services, many of whom will be working their tails off during the holiday season.
And while Kate and Will joined Mary in the kitchen, Berry also accompanied them on their royal visits and had lovely things to say about the couple. "They really are a pigeon couple," the former Bake Off judge told Mail on Sunday'sYou magazine. "When they are together, he's constantly touching her arm and looking over at her smiling and she's the same with him. So natural. It was easy to see that William is very proud of Catherine."As for Will and Kate's youngest child, he didn't appear on the special, probably because he would steal every scene he was in, just as he did during his first public appearance at Trooping the Colour in June. If he could get past being starstruck by Mary, that is.
