Kate Middleton's Morning Routine Reportedly Starts With This One Thing

Catherine, Princess of Wales often seems like she has it all together. This surely makes her a major role model for many royal fans. So, it's only logical that folks wonder what the princess eats in a day, how she works out at home, and more. Of course, we don't know all the ins and outs of what Kate Middleton does when she's not making royal appearances. We do, however, have one secret ingredient to her morning routine. It just so happens, it's totally easy to replicate.

It's no surprise that health-conscious Kate's morning routine involves a very nutrient-dense green smoothie. More and more people are starting their days with matcha as of late. Kate does the same — in her smoothie, that is. Per an insider for the Daily Mail, she mixes it with spirulina, kale, spinach, romaine, blueberries, and cilantro. In an interview with Hello!, holistic nutritionist Jennifer Hanway, who has worked with the royals before, discussed what makes this particular morning beverage so great. 

"Kate has a ton of antioxidants in there, a ton of vitamins and minerals, and a ton of fiber — which make for a powerhouse of overall health," Hanway explained, adding, "Everything from the kale to the leafy greens is a really great source of nutrients." For folks looking to copy Kate's smoothie, Hanway says, "I would blend in some great quality protein and some healthy fats as well, which would round that smoothie into a really great balanced breakfast." A bit of avocado would add fat and creaminess, while your fave protein powder would mix in some sweetness.

While Catherine, Princess of Wales starts the day with a very healthy beverage, she used to end her day with a drink that was more nourishing for the spirit than the body. Back in 2021, a friend of the royal family told People that after tucking their three young children in to bed, "William[, Prince of Wales] will bring Kate a gin-and-tonic," adding, "They look after each other, but in different ways." The classic G&T was the princess' drink of choice back then. Yet, Kate Middleton has never been the same after her 2024 cancer diagnosis. Drinking is one thing that changed as a result.

In March 2026, William and Kate visited Fabal Beerhall in London. Yet, Kate didn't accept the offer of a beer, noting that she keeps her alcoholic drinks to a minimum these days. "Since my diagnosis, I haven't had much alcohol," she explained, adding, "It's something I have to be a lot more conscious of now," per Vogue. The same month that Kate turned down a beer, she accepted a non-alcoholic drink offer while visiting Bobby's Restaurant in Leicester. While there, she reportedly drank chai with no sugar and a splash of milk.

Catherine, Princess of Wales clearly puts a lot of thought into how she nourishes her body. So, it's only fitting that she has a go-to morning food to go with her go-to morning beverage that is just as full of health benefits. In addition to her green smoothie, Kate Middleton reportedly loves one of the most classic breakfasts there is: oatmeal. While this may seem like a rather obvious choice for a morning meal, some may be surprised by just how much good this breakfast is for the body. Nutritionist Charlotte Faure Green told Hello! what's so perfect about the princess' pick for morning fuel. "This can curb those mid-morning or late-night cravings, making it easier to stick to a lower calorie intake across the day. The [soluble fiber] in oats also helps regulate blood sugar levels, which is crucial for weight management," she explained.

How healthy Kate's breakfast is actually goes deeper than just its long list of nutrients. Enjoying a breakfast like this one actually helps you to eat better throughout the rest of the day. "The complex carbohydrates in oats provide a steady release of energy, keeping you [fueled] and satisfied — no sudden spikes and crashes that often lead to reaching for unhealthy snacks," Faure Green said. Pair a winningly satisfying breakfast like this with a green smoothie, and you're ready to live like a princess for a day.
