Despite being extremely sporty – and having a competitive streak to go alongside that – it is said that the 42-year-old will not pass up the opportunity to indulge in a sweet treat or two.

During a previous official engagement, William spoke to chef Darren Watson, who asked him whether his wife liked the popular sweet treat.

Describing her as a “chocoholic”, Mr McGrady said that cake made for the late Queen wasn’t put aside in a biscuit tin, it was kept for her to enjoy over the coming days.
