Unfortunately, your average day probably looks nothing like Kate Middleton's. But you and the Duchess of Cambridge might have one hobby in common: coloring.

According to the Telegraph, Prince William told acclaimed illustrator and Order of the British Empire (OBE) recipient Johanna Basford that Kate enjoys coloring in her therapeutic coloring books, including that one called The Secret Garden that you always see at Costco.

So what do we think? Does Kate Middleton color inside the lines or out? Does she use the regular colors for things or would she be chill with, like, a purple sun? Does she do that thing where you trace the outline of an object with a color, then fill in with a slightly lighter version of the same color?

Anyway, please enjoy your one commonality with the royal family.
