You mightn’t think there could possibly be anything more Christmassy than watching Love Actually while wrapping presents, but Duchess Catherine and Prince William’s latest gig might just take the (fruit) cake.
Yep, in a revelation that’s sent us, and masses of others into a joyful meltdown, it has been announced the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be indulging in something extra festive this year, and it involves some serious baking.
We are near perished at the perfection of this collaboration…
(Instagram / Kensington Royal)Teaming up with famed British icon and Great British Bake Off royalty, Mary Berry, the two royals have filmed an appearance for the BBC’s A Berry Royal Christmas.
In the heavenly special, which was announced by Kensington Palace over the weekend, we can expect to see Kate and Wills partake in a number of heartwarming moments with Berry.
“The Duke, Duchess and Mary, along with some very special guests, including @nadiyajhussain, host a Christmas Party to thank and acknowledge staff and volunteers from charities and organisations who will be working tirelessly over the Christmas period,” the Palace shared.
We can also expect to see some footage of Kate and Mary when they attended the RHS Garden Wisley back in September, where they spoke about the royal’s commitment to helping raise the next generation of happy, healthy children.

Alongside the announcement, several gorgeous stills from the special were shared on Instagram.
