ANY ROYAL fan worth their salt will be well aware that tea is a huge part of family life, with the Queen in particular sitting down to a cup every day.

The Duchess of Cambridge visited Ark Open Farm in Northern Ireland on Wednesday where she was offered a cuppa after her tour.

She sat down for a chat with members of the Kilcooley Women’s Centre, who revealed exactly how the Duchess, 38, takes her tea.

The charity tweeted a photo of Kate writing: “Fantastic to meet HRH Duchess of Cambridge today in Newtownards with @earlyyearsorg.

“Tea and chat with our children and parents on the importance of giving the best start to all children.”

And one fan responded: “It looked like a fantastic day! And a great opportunity to discuss early years work, but I’m dying to know – Any inside goss on how Kate takes her tea?”

Responding the charity said: “Just like us little bit of milk …. so down to earth we were enchanted.”

So there you have it, a builder’s brew will do the trick if ever you’re lucky enough to host Kate!

When it comes to serving the Queen tea, the rules are a little stricter according to royal butler Grant Harrold.

He previously told the Express: “I am sure the Queen enjoys her Assam or her Earl Grey the traditional way, made with tea leaves in a teapot and poured into a fine bone china teacup.

“She will also use a strainer. It is also a myth that members of Royalty use their pinky when drinking, I have never seen that happen once.”

Harrold also said that the monarch always adds her milk after the tea, she never puts it in the cup first.

In other royal news, the Queen is a “chocoholic” who always says yes to puddings, according to her ex-chef.

And Kate Middleton has been labelled the “Children’s Princess” by royal fans who say she’s just like Princess Diana.

Plus Meghan Markle says she expects breakfast in bed on Valentine’s Daybut ‘a single rose is enough’ for her gift.
