Princess Kate and Prince William "Treated Themselves" to a Weekend Away Without Their Kids

On Sunday, September 22, Princess Kate stepped out for the first time since completing her chemotherapy treatment. The Princess of Wales was photographed arriving at Crathie Kirk Church, which is near to the Royal Family's residence of Balmoral Castle in Scotland. And according to a new report, Kate Middleton and Prince William traveled to Scotland without their three kids for the weekend.

Kate joined King Charles and Queen Camilla for the church service. William and Kate's three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—weren't in attendance. As reported by the Daily Mail, the Prince and Princess of Wales "treated themselves to a weekend away in Scotland without their children."

The outlet reported that the two royals "spent a few days at Balmoral, the monarch’s private Highland estate," which sounds simply delightful.

It's been a difficult year for the Royal Family after Princess Kate announced she'd been diagnosed with cancer in March 2024. Since then, Kate has only made a handful of public appearances alongside her family.

Earlier this month, the Princess of Wales released an intimate Instagram video in which she revealed she had completed preventative chemotherapy treatment.

"As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment," she wrote in the caption.

"The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family," Kate continued. "Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown."

"The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you," she explained. "With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything."
