Prince William and Princess Kate have a reputation for being surprisingly down-to-earth given their royal status - and that extends all the way to the future King's choice of hot drink. Royal fans might expect William to start his day with a fancy cup of tea served in a fine china cup. Not so, according to one expert.
Arthur Gautier of Nio Teas, a premium brand that specialises in Japanese green teas, spoke to Luxurious magazine about the fact that "each royal has their go-to favourite". And he revealed that William will reach for a cup of something strong and no-nonsense to keep him going ahead of a busy day of royal engagements. "I imagine that he starts the day with a hearty mug of English Breakfast while prepping for royal duties (or chasing after the kids!)" Arthur told the publication, noting that it's the tea of choice for someone who needs energy and focus.
William himself has revealed he will only drink tea - not coffee - which he enjoys with a splash of milk and sugar. In 2022, the Prince lifted the lid on what he eats and drinks on an average day when he filled out a nutrition sheet during a royal engagement. He said he had started the morning with two eggs and wholemeal toast with butter, alongside a glass of apple juice and a cup of tea.
He noted that he takes his tea with sugar - but admitted he was 'trying to cut down' - and said he will have around three cups a day "to keep him going". It's by no means William's only down-to-earth habit. Royal fans were surpri.
