Speaking at an event in Birmingham today, she said: Kate is a really good cook.

Former Great British Bake Off judge Mary has teamed up with the royal couple for a one-off show, A Berry Royal Christmas, and said: They are such an enchanting, loving couple.

I got them cooking a roulade. They were very competitive and kept looking at each others creations while they were making them.

The hour-long BBC1 show on December 16 also sees Mary join the royal couple on charity visits, including the UKs largest homeless centre, The Passage, in London.

These royals have won the approval of the kitchen queen.
