The Princess of Wales shared a heartwarming moment with a resident of Oxford House Nursing Home.
Kate Middleton, 41, met Nora, 109, who was accompanied by her grandchildren Lynne and John, during her visit to the family business in Slough on Tuesday morning.
Kate was captured chatting with Nora, who celebrated her 109th birthday on January 7, two days before Kate’s birthday, to which the royal exclaimed: ‘A fellow Capricorn’.
She was also shown a card from her father-in-law, King Charles and the Queen Consort, sent to Nora on her 109th birthday.
The princess then asked Nora what her favorite dish was, to which she replied kidneys and Brussels sprouts.
While kidneys may not be a staple in many people’s diets, Kate surprisingly admitted, “I like kidneys too.”
The royal, who wore a floral face mask once inside the care home, met staff and residents and learned how delivering high-quality patient-centred care is central to the work of the House.
The mother-of-three looked chic for the looks, opting for a smart navy polo neck with matching trousers and recycled her on-trend £470 camel coat from Max&Co.
Based in Slough, the care home accommodates up to 34 residents and also runs a home care organisation, Oxford House Community Care, which provides support to enable local residents to live independently in their own homes.
During her visit, Kate heard about Oxford House’s use of technology to empower and enrich the daily lives of residents.
This includes an interactive sensory table, purchased in 2020 in response to pandemic restrictions, and a new interactive wall that will be used to support residents with dementia.
The Princess was pictured playing interactive football with resident Jean during her visit.
Additionally, during a visit to Oxford House nursing home, the mother-of-three was also seen making pancakes for Shrove Tuesday, where she was left in fits of laughter as that she was trying to use a griddle at the nursing home to cook pancakes – with little success.
He could be heard asking the chef for advice before trying to flip the crepe, saying, “I’ll try to go but I think it’s going to get stuck. Please don’t eat this one! All those made earlier are much more beautiful.
As they waited for the pancake to cook, she said, “I wish there was music or something!” Maybe I can watch everyone do that after.
During the visit, she wore her long brunette locks over her shoulders in a bouncy blow-dry and opted for neutral makeup, with a swipe of eyeliner and a touch of blush on her cheeks.
Kate has worn the jacket on several occasions in the past, including a visit to Scarborough and an appearance at a cultural center in Reading in November.
Oxford House is a family-run retirement home which opened to residents in 1980.
The mother-of-three’s visit today comes amid a busy time for Kate, who walked the red carpet alongside the Prince of Wales on Sunday night at the BAFTAs.
The Princess sent royal fans wild when she appeared to give husband Prince William a light pat on the behind at the event.
As the couple arrived at the Royal Festival Hall in London, Kate and the prince appeared to exchange a few words, before she leaned over and appeared to give him a pat on the back.
It was a rare PDA moment for the couple, who seemed relaxed and excited to attend the event, which has become an annual occasion for the two.
Kate opted for an asymmetrical Alexander McQueen dress for the occasion, which she first wore to the event in 2019.
The one-shoulder white dress has undergone some minor changes, the floral details on the shoulder have been replaced by a long fabric train.
