Director of Social Affairs – Princess Kate went to the music festival in Norfolk for the first time after listening to her friends’ invitation and accepted to break the ‘special tip’ rule.

According to British media, Kate was present at the Houghton festival, where DJs played music 24/7 last weekend. During the evening of “partying to the max” with friends, the 41-year-old royal concubine did not stop by the food truck along the way but chose the on-site Turntable & Napkin restaurant to eat.

The London Evening Standard reported: “Kate was very excited. She ordered margarita cocktails, affogato (Italian coffee dessert) and talked warmly with those accompanying her. The princess’s friends also brought along a 12 liter bottle of AIX rosé. The group tipped the restaurant staff a total of £700.”

The Princess of Wales is said to be attending the weekend’s music festival for the first time, even though it attracts many high-class people and is close to her and her husband’s home in Norflok. Before that, she dined with her neighbours, the Marquess and Marchioness of Cholmondeley, at their ancient Palladian home at Houghton Hall. At that time, the Houghton festival was also taking place on the Cholomondeley family’s land of more than 400 hectares.

“After dinner, one of the guests suggested that Kate go to the festeival. Kate was quite worried at first, but after discussing with her bodyguards, she decided to bring more bodyguards with her. William was not there.” , a source revealed to the Daily Mail.

Kate’s evening out was the latest demonstration of her friendship with the Cholmondeley family – who live just a few kilometers from the Welsh family’s Anmer Hall.

It can be said that this is the rare time Princess Kate breaks her ‘special tip’ rule.

Tina Brown, former Vanity Fair editor, shared Kate’s secret to not being spotted in public in her book The Palace Papers.

In the book, Brown claims Kate has “me time” by setting her alarm very early and going to favorite places before people show up. Accordingly, the Princess of Wales enjoys a normal life before 8 a.m. to avoid cameras and fans, always following her every step.

The female author said Kate’s solo adventure at dawn was intended to “nourish her own life”.

To date, the mother of three has only been spotted once, when she appeared at David Hockney’s exhibition at the Royal Academy in London.

“I miss my art history major,” Kate once told fans. “That’s what I do to fix my soul.” The Princess of Wales studied art history at St. Andrews, graduated 2005.

Sharing on People, a source revealed that the Princess of Wales gives her children “stable normalcy” and that’s how she grew up. William absolutely loved this. The source also added that the royal couple “are conscious of achieving a sense of normalcy”.

“The royal families over the generations have not had the opportunity to achieve those foundations properly, but they have,” a friend of William – Kate affirmed.

William and Kate’s family often spends their vacations at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where the late Queen often visits in the summer. Here, they will be free to do whatever they want without worrying about people or paparazzi at their door.
