Princess Kate is to travel to Balmoral with me.
The British royal family traditionally spends their summer holidays in Scotland. For a long time, it was unclear whether Princess Kate, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment, would be able to travel to Balmoral with King Charles and the rest of the royals this year. A decision has now been made.
The British royal family has been spending their summer holidays in Scotland at Balmoral Castle for decades. In 2024, King Charles III will once again spend time with his loved ones in the Highlands. There has been speculation for some time as to whether Princess Kate, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment, will be able to join them this year. A source from the royal family's circle has reportedly told "The Mail on Sunday" that the 42-year-old will indeed travel to Scotland with her husband William and their three children, Prince George (11), Princess Charlotte (9), and Prince Louis (6).
Despite her illness, Princess Kate apparently does not want to miss the traditional holiday in the Scottish Highlands. She has spent every summer there since her marriage to Prince William in 2011. Balmoral Castle was Queen Elizabeth II's favorite residence, where she also passed away. Since then, the estate may have taken on an even more emotional significance for the royal family.
The sprawling Balmoral estate allows the nature-loving royals to pursue their favorite activities undisturbed. These include fishing, hunting, picnicking, and grilling. The late queen was often seen riding or taking drives in her beloved Range Rover on the estate. For Princess Kate, the trip to Balmoral would be her longest journey since her cancer diagnosis.
Much-needed break
In January, the princess underwent an abdominal operation, after which cancer was diagnosed, as she announced in a video in March. Since then, she has only been seen in public twice. In June, she attended the "Trooping the Colour" birthday parade for the king, and in July, she presented the trophy at the Wimbledon tennis tournament. She spent most of her recovery time at home in Windsor or at her holiday home Anmer Hall in Norfolk.
This year, the break could be particularly necessary for the royal family, given the challenging months they have faced: In addition to Princess Kate, King Charles also received a cancer diagnosis at the beginning of the year. He also missed some public appearances due to treatment. The other family members had to take on more duties.

The royal family is eagerly anticipating Princess Kate's recovery, as she is expected to join them at Balmoral Castle this summer. The Commission, a regulatory body in the United Kingdom, has been monitoring the royal family's activities related to cancer treatment and recovery, ensuring that all medical protocols are being followed.
