We all know what it\u2019s like to have a busy week. Whether it\u2019s work, errands, parenting demands or (as is so common) a mixture of all three, it can be tricky to keep the tank fuelled and remain healthy while keeping on top of it all. As a mum of three and a working royal, the Princess of Wales will be all too familiar with this balance, but we think we\u2019ve spotted one of her secrets: a drink boasting health benefits that won\u2019t break the bank. <\/p>\n

For the wedding of Princess Anne\u2019s son, Peter Phillips, to Harriet Sperling on 6 June, the Princess of Wales was snapped getting out of the car outside All Saints\u2019 Church in Kemble, England. Sitting in the pocket of her door, the top of a drink is just visible and eagle-eyed observers have recognised it as a carton of Vita Coco Original Coconut Water, which costs just \u00a32.50 (500ml, at Tesco). <\/p>\n

The brand highlights a number of healthy qualities in the drink, including being high in potassium and vitamin C, while being low and calories, with zero fat or cholesterol. It\u2019s also great for those with certain dietary requirements, as it\u2019s gluten- and dairy-free. According to the NHS, vitamin C is important for keeping the cells in our skin, blood vessels, bones and cartilage healthy and protected, while also helping heal any wounds. Meanwhile, potassium is necessary in the body to help keep our hearts, nerves and muscles functioning properly and assisting nutrients moving around the body. <\/p>\n

Vita Coco Original Coconut Water describes itself as \u2018nature\u2019s sports drink\u2019 and can be drunk on the go, like Kate, used as a base for smoothies or even \u2013 if you\u2019re feeling less health-orientated! \u2013 in cocktails. We know that the princess has been avoiding alcohol since she\u2019s been recovering from her cancer treatment, so it\u2019s unlikely she\u2019s been using it for this purpose. With the carton sitting within easy access in her car door, it seems probable she was enjoying it for a hydrating boost on her way to the busy event. <\/p>\n

As well as attending Peter and Harriet\u2019s wedding earlier this month and the weekend\u2019s Trooping the Colour, the Princess joined Prince William, King Charles and Queen Camilla (among others) for the Order of the Garter (Tuesday 16 June). The special service took place at Windsor Castle to honour \u2018those who have held public office, who have contributed in a particular way to national life or who have served the Sovereign personally\u2019, according to the Royal Family\u2019s official social media account. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We all know what it\u2019s like to have a busy week.
