5 royal chocolate treats

It's pretty hard to find photos of the royals making like the rest of us and having a huge chocolate feast. And even though Prince William had a second wedding cake made of chocolate biscuits it was sliced and tasted behind closed doors. Fair enough, we all might want a taste. But as we get over the annual chocolate binge that Easter brings with it, here are 5 times we've seen royals enjoying chocolate - even if it is just a look sometimes.




The Duchess of Cambridge made a chocolate cake even sweeter by helping ice them blindfold during a trip to the Beaver Scouts in 2015. Kate helped one member earn a disability awareness badge by working on this confectionery based challenge and made a proper chocolate treat into the bargain.

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands looked rather pleased with the chocolate she was given during a visit to Hembrug in June 2014. But the new queen didn't treat us to an image of her enjoying the treat - it was put away for later.





During their visit to France in September 2010, just after their marriage, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden visited the chocolatier, Patrick Roger, and tried some very patriotic sweets decorated in their national colours.






The Prince of Wales took his chocolate tasting duties very seriously when he and Camilla headed to the Duchy Originals production line in 2008. This royal visit to Dorchester provided plenty of opportunities for trying out sweets with both royal guests enjoying it.







Felipe and Letizia of Spain popped into Valor chocolate makers in Alicante in March 2006 and tucked into a sweet treat each. The then Prince and Princess of Asturias looked like they were having a great time trying out the chocolates as they helped the firm celebrate an anniversary.
