Everyone has secrets, including the royals. While some have quite crazy secrets, some have family secrets, like recipes, and they never want to share that with the world if they can help it. But in a new incident, it seems Pippa Middleton may have gone against her sister, Catherine, Princess of Wales, better known as Kate Middleton’s wishes to keep these recipes a secret.

Royal author Ephraim Hardcastle recently told the DailyMail that Kate vehemently refused to divulge the secret to her chutney, which impressed the late Queen Elizabeth II. She even declined charities from knowing the secret, it was one of her best-kept secrets, until her sister Pippa spilled the beans.

Hardcastle revealed that Pippa published the ingredients in a book entitled Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends, with the Middleton family recipe for marrow chutney. It’s called “Granny’s Marrow Chutney,” and it contains ingredients such as marrows, onions, apples, and more.

(While outlets claimed it was a book on the Diamond Jubilee, Dorothy Reddin of GB News revealed the exact book: it was actually the first cookbook Pippa released.)

Now, here’s the thing, the book has been out until 2012, but now, fans are catching on that the secret recipe is inside of it!

Pippa has released numerous cookbooks in the past, such as the aforementioned Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends in 2012 and Heartfelt in 2016.

It seems her first book contains that coveted recipe, and it’s truly unclear if Kate allowed this to happen or not.
