LET’S BRUSSEL UP SOMETHING TO EAT
WILLS AND KATE TAKE SPROUTS ON HONEYMOON
Home comforts ... for Kate and Wills
PRINCE William and bride Kate have had a boatload of treats shipped to their island honeymoon hideaway — including Brussels sprouts.
The Royal couple ordered up vintage bubbly and quail eggs... but also packaged ham, Granny Smith apples and Philadelphia cheese.
Their amazing shopping list was delivered by speedboat to the top-secret getaway in the Seychelles.
But the arrival of the sprouts could set tongues wagging because girls are advised to eat the green vegetables if they are trying to get PREGNANT.
They are high in folic acid, which women are advised to take to avoid spinal defects in the baby.
To add to the romantic mood, Wills has ordered in a dozen bottles of 1999 Dom Perignon at £120 a pop. The future King and Queen were dropped on the Castaway-style island by helicopter on Tuesday for a ten-day break. The isle has a mile-long private beach and luxury villa overlooking the Indian Ocean.
A Royal source said: "This is a tropical paradise but both William and Kate wanted to have a taste of home with them — man cannot live on lobster alone.
"They asked for some English basics, like the Philadelphia and Granny apples. But they have their luxuries as well."
Also on the list were ROYAL apples, artichoke hearts and marinated anchovy fillets. And
Guests on the £4,000-a-night island are told they can eat "what you want, where you want, when you want".
The Prince also has access to a drinks cellar — which boasts spirits worth £25,000 per bottle.
William, 28, and Kate, 29, have so far enjoyed moonlit dinners on one favourite beach, which has "flour white" sands.
After watching the sunset their private chef prepares a choice of menus before the couple selects a favourite.
They have been kayaking and snorkelling as well as chatting to local fishermen. During the day Wills has been touring the island on a golf buggy.
Royal protection officers are watching out-of-view.
