Princess Kate is reportedly experiencing mixed emotions as the royal family undergoes significant changes this week, particularly concerning her three children's new school term plans. As the Princess of Wales faces these transitions, she is said to be feeling conflicted, especially given her current health challenges.
This week marks the return to school for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, along with many other children across the nation. However, Princess Kate’s feelings about the new term are complicated due to her ongoing cancer treatment. Despite spending quality time with her children in Norfolk and Scotland over the summer, the Princess is reportedly struggling with the mixed emotions of letting them return to school.
Royal expert Jenny Bond shared with the press that while Kate has cherished the time spent with her children, she will likely feel some relief as they head back to school, giving her time to return to her routine and perhaps rest. "Catherine will likely experience mixed emotions as the school holidays come to an end, similar to what most mothers feel," Bond explained. She added that it hasn't been easy for Kate to keep three children entertained every day, especially while dealing with the side effects of her treatment. However, in the few public appearances we’ve seen, both Kate and William have appeared calm and content, suggesting they’ve enjoyed their family time at Balmoral and Norfolk.
As Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis return to school, Kate will have more opportunities to rest at home. Bond noted that this marks the return of early mornings, packed school bags, completed homework, and school runs. However, this time will also allow Kate to focus on her campaigns and causes, working behind the scenes while also taking much-needed rest without the guilt of being away from her children.
The Prince and Princess of Wales reportedly spent the first part of their summer vacation at Anmer Hall, their rural retreat in Norfolk. This private getaway is believed to be a sanctuary for the royal family, offering them a space to relax and be themselves. During the summer, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis also had the chance to spend time at Balmoral with their grandfather. Last month, the family traveled to Scotland, where they likely stayed at Tam-Na-Ghar, a three-bedroom house nestled within the 50-acre Balmoral estate.
