Everything for relaxation: Princess Kate spent a holiday in the snow

Princess Kate (43) made her first major solo appearance in more than a year on January 14th and spoke about her experiences fighting cancer at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London. The wife of the heir to the British throne, Prince William (42), also gave a health update on Instagram and explained that the cancer was in remission. “It’s a relief and I remain focused on recovery,” she continued. This recovery apparently also included a family vacation that Kate is said to have taken at the start of the new year.

Kate and William took a break in the Alps with their children Prince George (11), Princess Charlotte (9) and Prince Louis (6) at the turn of the year. According to the newspaper, the family left their Sandringham estate, Anmer Hall, after Christmas and spent several days in the snow with members of the Middleton family. Kate’s brother James Middleton (37) and his wife are said to have been there, among others. The entire family is said to have been spotted in a mountain restaurant. “It was nice to see Kate relaxing and enjoying herself,” said a Mail on Sunday source.

Another insider added: “Everyone seemed very happy. There were no airs and graces and they seemed like a normal family enjoying a ski holiday. There was a lot of laughter and the children were very polite.” The only reason it was noticed that they were important people was “that a group of security guards arrived with Kate.” Kate is said to have been back in the UK for her birthday on January 9th.

In March 2024, the mother of three announced that she had cancer in an emotional video after undergoing unspecified abdominal surgery in January. The exact type of cancer she suffered from was not made public. In September she also announced in a video that she had successfully completed chemotherapy.
