Kate struggled to make a pancake as she visited Oxford House Nursing Home in Slough this morning. The Princess of Wales joined two of the chefs at the family-run care home in a pancake-making activity marking Shrove Tuesday.
However, the royal seemed to cave in to the pressure and was caught on camera having difficulties moving the mixture around the pan.
The royal laughed awkwardly while struggling behind the cooker, with the eyes of several reporters, members of the staff and residents at the nursing home on her.
While attempting to move the mixture with a spatula, Kate asked one of the chefs for directions, making sure whether it was the right time to flip it.
When instructed to wait, the royal quipped: “See, this is where I go wrong, I always try to turn them too quickly!”
As seconds went by, Kate seemed to have difficulties lifting the borders of the forming pancake, which appeared to be stuck to the pan.
The 41-year-old seemed to grow embarrassed by her performance and the silence surrounding her.
The chef, however, tried to calm the Princess’ nerves, saying: “There is no pressure here!”
After she managed to detach the mixture from the pan, Kate flipped the treat without difficulties, despite it seemingly becoming wrinkled up by her previous attempts with the spatula.
Apologetic, she then told the chef: “All the ones that were made earlier are much nicer than this one. I am sorry! I haven’t done you justice. Would you like to show them how to do it properly?”
She also joked that she had demonstrated how “not to make” a pancake.
