Prince Louis, Prince George, Kate Middleton, and Princess Charlotte were seen together after attending the Christmas church service on December 25, 2024. Kate Middleton expressed her excitement for future international travel with her children during a visit to the Wellington Barracks in London on St. Patrick’s Day. The Princess of Wales, aged 43, shared her hopes of taking her children – Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6 – on upcoming trips with her and Prince William.
Kate mentioned George’s interest in their past trip to Australia and New Zealand in 2014 when he was a baby and her desire to revisit these places with her children. She also expressed a fondness for the Middle East due to her childhood experiences in Jordan. Kate emphasized the importance of balancing official duties with family time during international travels, ensuring they can experience different countries more privately.
As Prince George approaches his 12th birthday, there may be changes in royal travel protocols, potentially affecting his ability to travel with his father, Prince William. Traditionally, direct heirs to the British throne travel separately to safeguard the monarchy’s future. Prince William had to adhere to this practice at age 12, but there has been no official announcement regarding how this may impact Prince George. Following tradition, Prince William and Prince George would require King Charles’ permission to travel together.
Despite their royal responsibilities, William and Kate are focused on providing Prince George with a normal childhood. They are working together to maintain a balance between royal duties and family life, ensuring that their children have meaningful experiences while growing up.
