The Royal Family is set to spend the summer holidays together, giving the children of the Prince and Princess of Wales a much-needed break after a tough year

The first seven months of the year have been challenging for the Royal Family due to health issues, so the summer holidays are expected to bring some much-needed cheer, especially for the young children of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Prince George, 10, his younger sister, Princess Charlotte, nine, and their little brother, Prince Louis, six, will be providing their mother with a great deal of emotional support as she bravely fights cancer.

During their summer holiday at Balmoral in 1997, Prince William was confronted with the heartbreaking news of his mother's death, a grief that was echoed when his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II died there in 2022. However, it's also where he found future happiness, meeting Kate Middleton. They have the option to escape to their secluded haven, Tam-Na-Ghar - a cottage steeped in history, frequently visited by Queen Victoria and left to William by his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, after her passing in 2002.

Nonetheless, Scotland holds a special place in the princess's heart, not just for its splendour but also as the setting where her Royal life commenced when she met Prince William at the University of St Andrews. This break from Royal duties provides a perfect opportunity for quality time with the grandchildren. The King, known for his storytelling, might entertain the youngsters with his 1980 children's book, The Old Man of Lochnagar, set near Balmoral.

"Balmoral has always been the place where Charles takes time out to relax and reflect," observes Jennie. "Walking over the moors is his 'me time', where he can take solace in the hills and rugged countryside."
