Princess Kate’s summer plans with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis revealed?
The Princess of Wales’ absence from the spotlight can be sorely felt by royal fans across the world as she takes time away from official duties to continue her preventative cancer treatment.
The wife of Prince William has only been seen in public twice since her heartbreaking announcement revealing she had cancer was shared in February; once at the Trooping the Colour parade in June and then at the Wimbledon Championships in July.
While the mother-of-three has expressed her wishes to return to royal duties “as soon as I am able,” she now has a long summer to enjoy with her husband and children before she needs to worry about returning to work.
It was previously unknown what the Wales family would do during their holidays. The Prince and Princess of Wales have been known to take Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis abroad for the summer, with St Barths, Mustique and the Isles of Scilly among their favourite holiday destinations.
Later in the summer, William and Kate have traditionally joined other members of the royal family at Balmoral, the late Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved Scottish residence, which has since been inherited by King Charles.
The mother-of-three will make the 502 mile journey from Adelaide Cottage in Windsor to Balmoral Castle, where the King is set to host his family for the second time during his reign.
Balmoral is the perfect place for the Princess of Wales to switch off
The idyllic residence in the Scottish Highlands is a total haven for the royal children. Prince William and Prince Harry spent every summer there during their childhood, as did Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, who have since taken their own children up to Scotland to share the magic of Balmoral.

The Wales family will no doubt enjoy the private outdoor space at Balmoral to spend family time
With copious amounts of green space, horse riding, fishing, barbecues, picnics and sunshine galore, it’s no wonder the royals love taking their children to Balmoral Castle for the final instalment of summer before royal duties and school resumes in September.
