The surprise hobby the Duchess of Cambridge does at home to relax
April 30, 2020 - 09:44 BST Sophie Hamilton During these tough times in the coronavirus lockdown, it's important to find an outlet for all that pent-up stress - and it sounds like the Duchess of Cambridge has the perfect solution. Did you know the royal mum-of-four is a fan of adult colouring books? Yep – just like many of us, she likes to spend time putting pen to paper and relaxing by colouring in intricate black and white designs.
She wrote:"As he pinned my medal to me, Prince William said 2 things that I’ll never forget. 1. ‘When’s the baby due?’ Now here’s the thing, the Duchess was pretty neat during her pregnancies. I was NOT. When I laughed and said ‘Oh not for MONTHS yet!’ he looked VERY surprised!" Johanna continued:"2. He told me his wife likes my books. She colours. Kate is one of us! Now, this makes perfect sense.
Johanna is famous the world over for her beautiful books, having sold 21 million adult colouring books to date. Wow! She also designs wallpaper, calendars, tattoos and more. Now, with the nation's mental health so fragile as we try to adapt to a loss of social connection, Johanna believes we need to take care of ourselves more than ever, and colouring can help.World of Flowers by Johanna Basford, £12.
