Prince George wants to be a pizza chef when he grows up

This would be quite the career move

Prince George has a different career in mind before he assumes the role of King.

According to the Daily Mail, on a recent trip to Norfolk with his mum, Kate Middleton, the 11-year-old declared that he’d like to become a pizza chef.

The young prince visited Desmond MacCarthy’s Wiveton Hall Café where he was shown the wood-fired pizza oven. He reportedly exclaimed: “That’s what I want to do when I grow up!”

MacCarthy told the paper: “They came here with their friends, because Sandringham isn’t that far away.”

MacCarthy said of George: “He’s a sweet boy.”

Kate and William also have a country home nearby – Anmer Hall.

The whole family are known pizza lovers. In 2023, George was seen tucking into a pizza at a cricket match which he attended with his father.

Last year, during a visit to Wales, Kate and William ordered 12 pizzas to thank volunteers at Dowlais Rugby Club.

Back in 2018, Kate revealed that her two oldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte enjoy making pizza dough.

While preparing food for the Commonwealth Big Lunch, Kate said while at St. Luke’s Community Centre that pizza was their favourite meal.

She told Tatler: “I’ve done that with George and Charlotte — making pizza dough. They love it because they can get their hands messy.”

That same year, she told military personnel that William was a ‘nightmare’ for eating pizza on their sofa.

A year later she reportedly confirmed to Hello! that her favourite pizza topping was bacon.

Over the years, Kate has told various people about her children’s love of cooking.

In 2019, when she was still the Duchess of Cambridge she told the headmaster of Lavender Primary School, Matthew Kleiner-Mann that her children love cooking for her.

He recalled: “She was telling us how much her children love cooking.

“They made cheesy pasta the other day. One stirs the flour, one puts the milk and butter in. And they make salads and stuff.”

It looks like George is shaping up to be quite the little chef.
