EXCLUSIVE: The Prince and Princess of Wales will be travelling north to join the King and Queen at Balmoral any day now with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis
Balmoral in the Scottish Highlands is always a magnet for the royals each August as the extended family gather for their annual staycation. But this year’s get-together will be tinged with sadness – not only is it the first year without Queen Elizabeth II hosting, but it’s where she passed away, just 11 months ago, on 8 September.
But emotions will be running high – especially for William, who will surely be comforted by the presence of Kate by his side now more than ever. The family of five are likely to stay in their three-bedroom cottage Tam-Na-Ghar, which was left to the royal heir by the Queen Mother. While students at the University of St Andrews, William and Kate would sneak off to their bolthole for romantic weekends away.
Robert explains, “This is a place where youngsters can play outside so freely. That matters to William and Kate because they know their children can be free, away from the media.” Balmoral has provided a much-needed escape for the royals for more than a century, and Jennie doesn’t envisage a huge change to the family’s holiday timetable of activities.
“The royals generally don’t have that much time to spend together, so these summer stays are hugely valued. And while the kids are all playing, the parents get a well-earned chance to put their feet up.” “I also think they might have a little celebration in the wood that Charles planted for George when he was born, to mark the 10th birthday of both George and the trees!” says Jennie.
"But he’s a busy man, and much busier now that he’s monarch. So I don’t think he’ll have the extended summer stay at Balmoral that the Queen enjoyed. He does love it up in Scotland and I think it does his soul good to walk on the moors and have some time away from public duties.” A high point expected to make a return this year is the Ghillies Ball. Not held at the castle since 2019, it’s an informal celebration where staff let their hair down with the most senior members of the Royal Family.
