Kate Middleton washes the dishes. William dries them.
The Princess of Wales shared this during a visit to West Sussex, with the smile of someone talking about something she genuinely enjoys: washing up is what she likes most about the kitchen. Prince William got the other half of the job, making sure everything is dry and put away. “We’re a good team”, she summed up, like someone describing a secret that sustains any couple.
But the scene doesn’t end there. She said that George, Charlotte, and Louis also have their part to play in the household chores. No butlers or orders from a throne: in that house, the children learn that helping is part of being a family, just like in yours.
Sometimes affection isn’t seen in grand gestures, but in two people standing by a sink, passing a wet plate back and forth.
