Princess Catherine, known for her royal duties and family life, has a wholesome hobby that many can relate to: sewing and knitting. During a visit to Hiut Denim, a family-run jeans factory in Cardigan, Wales, she surprised staff with her skills, helping to finish a pair of jeans for her husband, Prince William. "I love making things, so I think I would really enjoy making denim," she said.
Princess Catherine's Sewing and Knitting Passion
The princess has shared her enjoyment of sewing and knitting on multiple occasions. In 2020, during a visit to Bradford, she told volunteers she was determined to learn knitting when her son Prince George was a baby, according to Reader's Digest. She called it an "amazing skill" and recounted an attempt to knit a jumper: "I got halfway down, and it just splattered." She also mentioned making a pair of pyjamas, though she admitted, "I don't know where they have gone now."
Other Hobbies: Cold Water Swimming
Beyond sewing, Princess Catherine is an avid cold water swimmer. She told Mike Tindall on his podcast, The Good, the Bad and the Rugby: "The colder, the better. I absolutely love it - slightly to the point where William's saying, 'You're crazy,' and it's dark, and it's raining. I will go and seek out cold water." Encouraged by her parents to spend time in nature, she reportedly swears by cold plunging, a trend embraced by many Brits.
Prince William's Preferred Pastimes
While Princess Catherine enjoys cold water swimming, Prince William prefers football. A devoted Aston Villa fan, he has shared his joy in taking his children to matches as they grow older, according to his own statements.
