For the most part, Princess Kate<\/a> and Prince William<\/a> have stayed out of the spotlight throughout the summer<\/a> months. During their annual trip to Balmoral<\/a> with the Royal Family in August, Kate and William<\/a> were spotted attending church with their three children\u2014Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Now, a royal author has weighed in on the Prince and Princess of Wales’s absence from public life over the summer.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Hello!<\/a> magazine, royal expert and biographer Robert Jobson said, “A lot of people might think that it’s lazy or whatever [taking the school vacation off from royal duties], but I don’t think it is.”<\/p>\n

Jobson continued, “They’ve got a long time in the top job, and after this it becomes even more relentless so I think they\u2019re trying to manage their time as best they can whilst they’ve got an element of freedom.”<\/p>\n

Jobson further shared, “They’ve got their image right, they’ve got their engagement at the level they want, they’re spending enough time with their kids. I think they’ve managed it quite well.”<\/p>\n

He also noted, “I think they’re certainly stronger as a couple, but also as a family unit and everything. You only have to look at them in public, and they are very much a together couple, and they’re very much doing their job. They really haven’t really put a foot wrong.”<\/p>\n
