Kate Middleton provides cuppas for shivering cops guarding her home

LONDON - Royal bride-to-be Kate Middleton is ensuring that police minders get a hot cuppa while shivering outside her home.

Kate’s 1.5-million-pound house is being guarded round-the-clock after she and Prince William announced their wedding.

“Kate’s home is in the middle of nowhere - and it does get very brass monkeys when you are out guarding the front gate,” the Sun quoted a Thames Valley Police source as saying.

“Kate this week took pity on the officers and installed a kettle for them in the garage - along with a mini-fridge which has a pint of skimmed and a pint of full fat milk put in every day,” he added.

“It means officers can have a brew whenever they want. There is a choice of teas and coffees and a jar of hot chocolate,” said the source.

“The guys on duty have dubbed her K-Tea but are very thankful for the gesture - because it is below freezing most nights,” he added. (ANI)
