Kate Middleton’s Surprise Family Escape

She hadn’t been seen in public for weeks, and there were already rumors about her health. Instead, Kate Middleton reappeared unexpectedly (and in great shape) in some paparazzi photos during a family getaway in France, specifically in Courchevel, one of the exclusive destinations favored by Albert and Charlene of Monaco. The Princess of Wales was photographed with William and their three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis. It was thought that Kate had moved to the Norfolk countryside house to spend the spring holidays and reappear at the Easter Mass. But no. While her in-laws, King Charles and Queen Camilla, were in Italy for a state visit but also to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary, Kate took advantage of the last snow to go on a skiing holiday with the family. Before the pandemic, she, William, and the children used to spend a few days in the Alps. So, they wanted to resume the tradition, even though it was the end of the season. The Princess of Wales was photographed with William and the children on the veranda of an exclusive chalet while having breakfast. Kate was wearing a black thermal sweater and a striped pullover, ready to go skiing in the photos published by the French magazine Paris Match. Skiing is one of Lady Middleton and her husband’s favorite sports, and as always, when it comes to competitions, they challenge each other without hesitation. George has inherited his parents’ passion for skiing, but Charlotte and Louis also handle themselves well on the snow. A ski lift operator said: ‘We knew they were there. But few of us saw them, I don’t know more.’ In fact, they usually visit the Haute-Savoie resort in January, but the Princess’s health issues delayed the vacation, although it should be noted that the Princes of Wales went to the Caribbean last February. William and Kate opted for maximum discretion. In fact, their security detail is minimized, and they tried to go unnoticed. Probably, no one would have known about their mountain getaway if the Prince hadn’t gone to the Parc des Princes with George. On the other hand, the woodland resort chosen by the couple guarantees maximum discretion, and William and Kate know how to go unnoticed, unlike Meghan Markle and Harry.
