Is Kate starting a business?
Apparently so, if you believe the Daily Mail. According to the newspaper, “sources say Kate so loves growing organic vegetables at her Norfolk estate, Anmer Hall, she is preparing the ground for a food brand with an appropriate title such as Anmer Organics.”
It’s not completely unheard of, in fact father-in-law Prince Charles owns food brand “Duchy Organic”, which is now sold exclusively at Waitrose. The company has raised a substantial sum of money for charity too.
