Prince William and Kate Middleton have not traveled much recently, mainly due to Kate’s recovery from cancer, diagnosed in early 2024. This time at home allowed them to spend more quality moments with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. However, as senior working royals, they will soon need to resume their official trips abroad, which means time away from their children.
During the pandemic, William and Kate were fortunate to have an extended period at home with their kids. Prince George and Princess Charlotte have accompanied their parents on some trips, though Prince Louis is yet to travel with them. Despite being heavily involved in royal duties, leaving their children is challenging for both parents, especially Kate, who has reportedly struggled with the separation.
Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, have been a vital support system during these times. They helped care for the children while Kate was recovering from her cancer treatment, allowing the princess to focus on her health.
As their children grow, William and Kate are committed to ensuring they feel valued, with special attention given to Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte to avoid feeling like “spares” compared to their older brother, Prince George.
