The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have shown off their cooking skills before heading to Prince Charles' 70th Birthday party.

The couple visited South Yorkshite, where they attended a project run by the homeless charity Centrepoint, a cause the prince was introduced to by his late mother, Princess Diana.

At the charity's the Quarry View hostel in Barnsley – where 17 young people stay - William and Kate helped prepare lunch.

The prince stirred Omero’s Red Pepper and Chorizo soup as his wife sliced some breading, joking: "Don’t look at how evenly I cut it."

William then sat down with two young people who've been helped by Centrepoint and two staffers for a bite to eat.

"I’m doing my balancing the soup act,: the prince said as he shakily carried a tray of soup.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for your lunch — we’ve been talking too much as usual."

Kate then apologised for her slicing skills, telling: "I think I cut some rather big slices."

"Don’t be put off by the size of Catherine’s bread. They’re enough to wedge the door," her husband joked.

The prince and his wife also visited the Andy Norman Learning Hub, a dedicated area providing resources for young people to improve their chances of moving towards independent living.
