Kate Middleton will be joining the Royal Family for their summer holiday at Balmoral this month in what will be her longest journey since she was diagnosed with cancer.
Prince William and Princess Catherine are regular visitors to the 50,000-acre Royal Deeside estate, having decamped to Aberdeenshire every summer since their wedding in 2011.
However royal insiders feared this year could be different owing to the princess’s health after she revealed in March she was undergoing cancer treatment.
Since Kate announced she was receiving preventative chemotherapy in March, Kate, 42,
has spent most of her time at home at Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor estate, along with occasional trips to Anmer Hall in Norfolk.
But The Mail on Sunday disclosed that she WILL join her husband and their three children on holiday in the north-east,
along with her doting parents-in-law King Charles and Queen Camilla, writes the Scottish Daily Express.
Her decision to make the long journey may be seen as further reassurance that the princess is making good progress after her diagnosis .
In June she told the public in an emotional message she was “not out of the woods yet” and had “good days and bad days”, adding that her treatment would continue for “a few more months.”
The King is currently at the Castle of Mey in Caithness, his favourite Scottish residence. The monarch, who has also been undergoing treatment for cancer, attended Mey Highland Games in John O’Groats on Saturday.
He opted to spend some time there alone moving to the Balmoral estate later this week. He is expected to be joined by other members of the Royal Family from next weekend. Kensington Palace declined to comment.
Meanwhile, captivating details of family life for William and Kate have also emerged today, with children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis expected to muck in with the chores.
Giving a glimpse into life behind the royal veil, a source told the Mail on Sunday: “I think it would surprise people to see how ordinary things are at home.
“The children help with laying the table, clearing their plates when they’ve finished eating and helping with tidying up. There’s no preferential treatment.”
Although the couple employ daytime staff to help with their busy routines, there is no live-in nanny and after school it’s just the family by themselves with William and Kate taking turns to do the cooking.
The source added: “Catherine is very, very natural. She keeps the family down to earth. Home is a safe haven. The children are still expected do their chores and to muck in at home.”
