Why We Won’t See The Duke And Duchess Of Cambridge This Week?
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been quite busy this last month with royal engagements. This was great for their fans that got to see them more often.
On Sunday the couple, along with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis all went to visit the RHS Back to Nature garden, which was actually co-designed by their mother Kate as part of the Chelsea Flower Show.
The couple were also in attendance at the opening of Chelsea Flower Show on Monday, as well as on Tuesday at the garden party at Buckingham Palace hosted by the queen. After a week like this, the William and Kate have no engagement listings on the official Royal Family website and it will most likely stay that way due to it being half term.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge often times leave their schedules open during the school holidays in order to spend quality time with their children.
They most often retreat to their country home Anmer Hall in Norfolk, where they spend most of the school holidays.
Over the Easter holidays, Kate and William were seen with George and Charlotte at the Burnham Horse Trials, where they spent the day with Mike and Zara Tindall and their two daughters, Mia and Lena. The country home provides the family with much more privacy and the homes sprawling grounds are great for the children who want to run around and play without worrying about photographers. The area is also a no-fly zone thanks to the efforts of the two parents.
The half term will have more significance for Charlotte, who will be separating from the nursery before the summer holidays. The young Princess will return to Wilcocks Nursery for the final time at the end of the week, and this will be the last term she spends there before moving on to primary school.
On Friday, Kensington Palace announced that Charlotte would be joining her brother George at Thomas’ Battersea in September, the school that their cousin Maud Windsor also attends.
An official statement read: “Princess Charlotte will join Prince George at Thomas’s Battersea from September 2019 this year.” Simon O’Malley, Headmaster at Thomas’s Battersea, also said: “We are delighted that The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have decided that Princess Charlotte will join her elder brother, Prince George, at Thomas’s Battersea. We greatly look forward to welcoming her and all of our new pupils to the school in September.”
