A royal source claims that Prince William and Kate Middleton plan to spend the majority of the summer “below the radar” at their Norfolk residence now that Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are on their “summer break” and Kate continues her chemotherapy treatment.
While Kensington Palace has not disclosed specific details about the family’s summer plans, a royal insider told Vanity Fair that the Wales family is now “on summer break.” Although they won’t be travelling abroad this summer due to Kate’s ongoing chemotherapy treatment, the family looks forward to visiting King Charles III and Queen Camilla in Scotland next month.
Kate’s appearance at Wimbledon on Sunday is expected to be her last official engagement until later in the year. The Princess of Wales garnered attention from the crowd at Centre Court as she entered the royal box alongside Princess Charlotte. Accompanied by her nine year daughter and sister Pippa Middleton Kate received a reception and applause from the spectators.

With Wimbledon, this is only the second time Kate has been seen in public since her cancer diagnosis. In June, she also appeared at Trooping the Colour, the King’s official birthday parade.
Prince William, also an avid tennis fan, was absent from the Wimbledon final because he and Prince George attended the UEFA European Championship game between Spain and England in Berlin.
Following England’s defeat, Prince William posted on X (formerly Twitter) to congratulate the team, writing, “England, your teamwork, grit and determination were an inspiration to all of us, young and old. Congratulations to Spain. W & C.”
