The Princess of Wales has been noticeably absent from her royal duties as she continues her preventative cancer treatment. This decision has left many royal fans across the world feeling saddened by her absence. Despite expressing her desire to return to her duties as soon as possible, she has taken the time to enjoy a relaxing summer break with her husband and children.
The Wales family has been known to spend their summers abroad, with favorite destinations including St Barths, Mustique, and the Isles of Scilly. Additionally, they traditionally join other members of the royal family at Balmoral, the beloved Scottish residence inherited by King Charles. This year, the Princess of Wales will be joining her family at Balmoral, making the 502-mile journey from Adelaide Cottage in Windsor to the idyllic castle in the Scottish Highlands.
Balmoral Castle offers a paradise-like setting for the royal children, complete with green spaces, horse riding, fishing, barbecues, picnics, and plenty of sunshine. This retreat allows the young royals to enjoy the last bit of summer before returning to their royal duties and school in September. Generations of royal family members have cherished their summers at Balmoral, creating lasting memories in the Scottish countryside.
Prince William has spoken openly about his deep connection to Scotland, where he met his future wife, Kate, at the University of St Andrews. Scotland holds both happy and sad memories for the Prince, as it is where he was informed of his mother’s passing while at Balmoral. Despite the painful memories, Scotland remains a place of solace and comfort for Prince William. It was also where he first met Catherine, making Scotland an even more special place for the couple.
As the Princess of Wales enjoys her summer break with her family at Balmoral, it is clear that the royal retreat holds a special place in their hearts. The idyllic surroundings, rich family traditions, and meaningful connections to Scotland make this summer break a time of relaxation and reflection for the Wales family. While royal duties may beckon in the near future, the summer break at Balmoral provides a moment of peace and joy for the Princess of Wales and her loved ones.
