Kate will briefly resume her royal duties before taking some downtime with her family

Prince William and Kate Middleton are gearing up for a quieter summer with their children before reuniting with King Charles and the rest of the royal family in Scotland.

According to The Mail, the Wales family plans to spend time at their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, where they’ll unwind with bike rides and sailing trips on the countryside estate.

But first, Princess Catherine is expected to step back into royal duties for French President Emmanuel Macron’s official state visit to Windsor Castle, scheduled for July 8.

The visit, which will see King Charles and Queen Camilla host the French President and First Lady Brigitte Macron in Windsor Castle, is part of a three-day tour running through July 10.

Afterward, the Prince and Princess of Wales will retreat to their 10-bedroom Georgian property on the Sandringham Estate before heading north in August. There, they’ll join King Charles at Balmoral Castle, the royal family’s traditional summer getaway in the Scottish Highlands.

While Kate and William’s attendance at the Royal Family’s annual Holyrood Week from July 1-4 hasn’t been confirmed, royal watchers are expecting to see the Princess of Wales at Wimbledon next week. 

GB News previously reported she is “very likely” to attend the championship in her capacity as royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

Kate’s name was recently pulled from the Royal Ascot procession list, though organisers clarified the mix-up was due to a clerical error.
