Kate British Bake Off for Christmas

-

MARY Berry beamed as she teamed up with William and Kate in the kitchen,

They together rustled up some festive grub for a Christmas party.

Guests included volunteers and staff from a number of charities supported by the royals.

Former Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain was also on hand.

Footage of the bash will be shown as part of a festive BBC special.

Viewers will also see Mary joining the royal couple on a string of charity engagement­s.

They include a safe space for people battling addiction issues in Liverpool, and a homelessne­ss charity in London. William is determined to help charities in honour of his dad Prince Charles and late mum Diana.

He said: “Growing up, both of my parents were hugely charitable.

“My father set up the Prince’s Trust and he’s involved in so many different organisati­ons.

“My mother has done her work with homelessne­ss.

“I think I’ve grown up in a household which has been very much a case of, ‘Well, we’re very lucky…you must give back’.

“And you know, my grandmothe­r becoming Queen at a very young age, in the days when it was a man’s world, it was very difficult for her to make a difference.

“And she’s done it in her own very unique, distinct way. My grandmothe­r and my grandfathe­r together are the epitome of public service.

“And I personally get a lot out of helping people. I find that you hear and you understand and you learn so much more by giving a bit of your time, a bit of your day, to just be around.”
