Kate Middleton is fond of a superfood that boasts a number of health benefits and reportedly makes her skin ‘glow’.
Writing in his contentious memoir ‘Spare’, Prince Harry has divulged that his sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales, harbours an affinity for avocados, attributing her radiant skin to the nutrient-rich fruit.
Celebrating her 43rd birthday today (Thursday, January 9), Kate’s penchant for avocados aligns with their well-documented array of health-boosting nutrients, reports Surrey Live.
Prince Harry shed light on the Princess of Wales’ love for the superfood in his book, but it was back in 2017 when the world got a hint of this royal’s preference.

During a royal engagement, Prince William received the green fruit as a thoughtful present for his then-pregnant wife with Prince Louis.
Overjoyed by the gift, William remarked, “I’ve never been given an avocado before. That’s really sweet of you. Catherine will love the avocado.”
Healthline indicates that avocados are believed to contribute to a reduction in ‘bad’ cholesterol and increase ‘good’ cholesterol, with disclaimers that additional studies are required to solidify these claims. Beyond their effect on cholesterol, avocados are celebrated for being packed with healthy fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
They’re also recognized for their potential role in reducing heart disease risk.
On her 43rd birthday, the future queen looks back at a challenging past year following a poignant declaration made last March.
Addressing her followers from the tranquillity of a garden, the composed mother-of-three confirmed her cancer diagnosis with these heartfelt words: “It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I have had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me for which I’m so grateful.”
In less than six months after sharing this news, Kate joyfully announced the completion of her chemotherapy through a video with her family, expressing her relief by saying: “As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.”
She further shared the struggles faced, stating: “The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.”
