Princess Kate and Prince William Opt for Low-Key Travel to Balmoral
- Princess Kate chose an unexpected mode of transport for a family holiday with her children.
- She was seen heading off on a summer break with Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
- The choice of transport surprised onlookers.
Princess Kate and Prince William, despite their access to luxury transportation, have chosen a more modest approach for their annual trip to Balmoral. The royal family traditionally gathers in Scotland each August to enjoy quality time together during the summer holidays. In 2022, the Princess was seen taking an economy flight to Scotland with her two youngest children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, while Prince William accompanied Prince George. A fellow passenger on the flight shared their experience on TikTok, noting Kate's down-to-earth demeanor. They remarked, "She could get a private jet or helicopter but kept it simple, flying economy." The passenger highlighted Kate's relatable actions, such as getting up to retrieve her daughter's iPad, portraying her as just a mother taking her children to visit their grandmother, which created a buzz among fellow travelers. Since their marriage in 2011, William and Kate have made the trip to Balmoral each year. If they travel to Scotland this month, it will mark Kate's first significant outing since her recent health diagnosis. The Princess has been largely out of the public eye, balancing her time between their family home in Windsor and their holiday property in Norfolk. Recently, Kate delighted fans by appearing alongside Prince William in a video message congratulating Team GB after the Olympic Games, sparking speculation about her potential return to public engagements.
