Prince William and Duchess Catherine often share little titbits from their life as parents, such as how Prince George and Princess Charlotte are keeping the Queen entertained during lockdown, what homeschooling looks like, and their screen time rules at home.

Now Kate Middleton has revealed that Prince George has been a little grumpy of late, and the reason is rather cute.

At the weekend, the royal mum helped plant a garden at The Nook, one of the East Anglia's Children’s Hospices facilities in Norfolk, and during her visit, she revealed her children are getting to be keen gardeners like she is.

Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2 have even been growing their own flowers, and as with anything involving siblings, it's getting a little bit competitive.

Kate revealed, 'the children are really enjoying growing their sunflowers. Louis' is winning, so George is a little grumpy about that!'

It's no surprise, given that the toddler has been keen on the outdoors for at least a year, as Catherine revealed last year during the unveiling of her 'Back to Nature' garden, which she designed.

At the time she said Prince Louis 'loves being outside' and 'loves smelling flowers'.

His grandfather Prince Charles is also a keen gardener, so it definitely runs in the family.

She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
