Olives can instantly divide people into the love them or hate them camp and it appears Princess Charlotte is firmly for the salty little snacks.
Kate revealed that "Charlotte loves olives" while visiting the children of Lavender Primary School and also said she likes to get Charlotte and George cooking from scratch.
