Prince William and Duchess Catherine: Active vacation time with the kids on the coast
Royal Insider Katie Nicholl reveals in Vanity Fair that the Cambridges had great fun fishing, horse riding and biking during their trip. Kate also taught her two older children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, to sail. A local source said the Cambridges are now a family of sailors who spent several days in a small sailboat on the south-west tip of England in early August. William, apparently wearing stylish beach shorts and a hat, was seen piloting the boat and leading his wife and children across the waves.
The Cambridges love water sports
“Kate has always been a competent seafarer, and William is pretty good too,” the source said. “They had a wonderful time on the coast this summer, showing the children how to steer a boat and how to sail. although it was a bit fresh. ” On board, safety came first: George, Charlotte, and Louis all wore life jackets. The family even braved the chilly British temperatures and chose regular swimwear instead of wetsuits to jump into the sea. According to the eyewitness, the children ran in and out of the water with their family dog and spent hours playing happily in the sand. “They are clearly a family that loves to be outside and in nature. It was nice to see them play so freely and not be disturbed by anyone,” said the observer.
Last week of August was reserved for Queen Elizabeth
After the active holiday by the sea, William, Kate and their three children made a special visit to Queen Elizabeth, 95, at her Scottish castle Balmoral in the last week of August. The visit of her great-grandchildren always lifts the mood of the monarch and it is the first time that the family has been able to get together privately since the death of Prince Philip, † 99, in April. The Royal Insider reports that the Cambridges have enjoyed “long country walks, fishing, horse riding and cycling.” “Finally the family barbecues were back on the agenda, but for the first time without Philip.”
