These Pics of Prince George Baking With the Queen Are Sweeter Than Christmas Pudding

As a Christmas gift to us all, Kensington Palace released a stunning new set of images that see Prince George helping make traditional Christmas puddings alongside his great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, grandfather Prince Charles, and father Prince William.

The four generations of the royal family—the queen and the three future kings—came together in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace earlier this month in honor of the launch of the Royal British Legion’s “Together at Christmas” initiative.

A spokesman said the initiative had been launched “to combat the loneliness and isolation experienced by some members of the Armed Forces community at what can be a difficult time of year. The get-togethers will provide an opportunity for all ages of the Armed Forces community to come together and enjoy the Christmas puddings.”

In one photo, six-year-old Prince George is pictured mixing ingredients in a bowl while the queen, Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Cambridge proudly look on.

According to Kensington Palace, the desserts “will become the centrepieces of 2020’s get togethers, and form part of 99 puddings distributed across the charity’s network in the UK and the Commonwealth—also marking The Royal British Legion’s 99th year.”

It sure looks like Prince George has a little experience in the kitchen—and it’s probably all thanks to his mother. Earlier this week, Kate Middleton opened up about her own family traditions during a Christmas TV special with Mary Berry.

During the episode, the Duchess of Cambridge revealed her children love to cook and particularly enjoy making pizza dough. She also revealed that her family has a sweet royal birthday tradition.

“I love making the [birthday] cake,” Middleton shared. “It’s become a bit of a tradition that I sort of stay up until midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing. I make far too much, but I love it.”

Your Baking Idol Chrissy Teigen Already Had Her First Thanksgiving Fail

Chrissy Teigen, Glamour Woman of the Year and queen of the kitchen, has already had her first Thanksgiving fail—and she’s handling it like a true holiday hero.

Given Teigen’s prowess in the kitchen, it’s no surprise the Cravings author is whipping up a Thanksgiving feast. Which, according to her Instagram Story, has been an ongoing project for the past day—roasted turkey and fresh cranberries and sweet potato pies. Before you watch it, be warned, your mouth will definitely be watering.

Here’s the pie in progress, courtesy of Teigen’s Stories (there’s no audio, but the visuals speak for themselves):

Yes, we would like some of this.

Pretty perfect, right?

But as anyone who’s ever tried to cook a meal this big knows, it’s a journey. A saga filled with unexpected challenges. A noble quest that could break even the best of chefs. Holding down multiple dishes at once ain’t easy—even for the pros.

The proof is in Teigen’s latest post. After sharing this truly delicious footage of a sweet potato pie in her Stories, the final result almost didn’t make the social media cut. “In case you are wondering why I didn’t put my finished pie on my Instastory,” she wrote, right next to the sad remains of a sweet potato pie burnt to a crisp.

Naturally, people are living for the realness of Chrissy’s usual candor. “You are a regular human woman like the rest of us stressed over the holidays. Thanks for keeping it real,” one commenter wrote. Another, echoing what we’re all thinking, said, “I love how you are so real and open. No faking with you. Now, can I get a slice of the crunch pie?”

A few commenters suggested simply scraping off the top and piling on whipped cream (which, let’s be real, actually sounds pretty good), but Chrissy is a pro who does not get daunted. After sharing the Thanksgiving fail, she was back at it with attempt number two, and it’s looking great.
