Kate Middleton reveals the labouring chore Prince George does in the school holidays
Kate Middleton has revealed the countryside chore that Prince George takes on during the Cambridge family's trips to Amner Hall.
- Kate Middleton has revealed she makes Prince George move animal feed during the half-term break, when they visit their country home, Amner Hall.
- The Duchess of Cambridge opened up about her family life during her and William's recent trip to Wales.
- This royal news comes after Kate Middleton sparked ‘jealousy’ at home during work trip without Prince William and kids.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited a local goat farm that has produced milk and cheese for the surrounding community for almost 20 years during their official visit to Wales this week.
And as Prince William asked farm owners Gary and Jess Yeomans about a robot silage sweeper which was being kept in one of their barns, Gary explained that they used it to move feed, which prompted Kate to reveal, "That was George's job at half term—moving feed.”
Unfortunately for the youngster, the Cambridge's aren't so hi-tech when it comes to doing basic farm jobs around their land and instead of having a machine, Prince George uses his little hands.
Prince George, eight, goes to St Thomas' school in Battersea with his sister Princess Charlotte, six, and their youngest brother Prince Louis attends nursery.
The family split their time between their Kensington Palace home in London and Anmer Hall on the Queen's Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
And it's at Anmer Hall where they have much more land to tend to, with Prince William admitting that they are currently testing out agroforestry on their own property, planting crops between rows of trees as the forest helps produce healthier soil and higher yields, as well as providing a home for wildlife.

Kate, who married Prince William back in 2011, revealed that she recently discovered that she is the descendent of goat farmers. “I was looking into my ancestry and there was someone who was a rare breed goat farmer,” she explained.
“I will have to find out which one it was. It was just after the First World War.”

Prince George joined his mum and dad for the England vs Wales rugby match at the weekend where he showed he had inherited a very specific trait from his dad, and he revealed that moving feed isn't his only activity.
He has a sporty side too and has just started learning how to tackle in rugby.
Prince George turned to his mum and said, “But I haven't tackled you yet!” The Duchess, who is the new patron of the Rugby Union Football league and the Rugby Football Union laughed in reply, insisting, “Yes, you have!”
