On just her third official outing — almost a month before her April 2011 royal wedding toPrince William— the couple visited Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Kate looked deep in concentration as her pancake flipped in the air, and her mouth fell open when the pancake landed near the side of the frying pan!

To celebrate Pancake Day this year, the official Royal Family social media account tapped the Royal Chefs for three unique recipe ideas: jam and cream pancakes, classic lemon and sugar pancakes and savoury ham, leek and cheese pancakes.
Prince Charlesand Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall got into the spirit as well. Camilla shared her favorite pancake toppings (honey and lemon!) on the couple’s shared Instagram account.
And Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York shared her own fun Instagram video of her expertly flipping a pancake.
Kate, 39, andPrince William, 38, have been busy in the kitchen during the coronavirus pandemic — and even have three little helpers: their childrenPrince George, 7,Princess Charlotte, 5, andPrince Louis, 2.
