Duchess Catherine attended cookery school


Britain’s Duchess Catherine attended cookery school.

TV chef Rachel Khoo has revealed that the 32-year-old royal – mother to adorable tot Prince George – was among her classmates during a two-week course at Leiths School of Food and Wine in west London.

A fortnight of culinary classes costs a whopping £1,600 per student.

Rachel says she even took notes for Catherine, 32, when she was ill.

She told Woman magazine: "Kate was in my class. She was ill for a few days, so I took notes for her.

"She was a lovely person but she kept herself to herself."

The prestigious school counts TV chef Lorraine Pascal and food critic Gizzi Erskine among its alumni.

The duchess was recently criticised for costly renovations to her Kensington Palace apartment, including installing a brand new kitchen to supplement the existing 350 sq ft kitchen for official events.

The new kitchen is expected to be a "private family kitchen" for Catherine, her husband Prince William, 32, and their 11-month-old son.

Last month it was reported the renovations had reached a cost of £4.5 million.
