Kate Middleton and Prince William Will Make Just One More Appearance This Summer (Video)

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and her husband Prince William have been all over the place in the last few months. The pair has made official appearance after official appearance, including their most recent outing at Wimbledon. But now, it seems all that is over as the couple is reportedly on summer break.

According to a new report in Hello, the royal pair, along with much of the royal family, is officially on summer vacation for the months of July and August. That means we likely will not see the duo (or their adorable kids) at any official events until some time in September.

However, Hello explained, at least Kate and William will be making one exception on Aug. 9 to host The King's Cup sailing regatta in Cowes in support of several charities.

As for what the pair will do during their time off the palace is staying mum, however, it is safe to assume they too will be making a trip to Scotland to visit the Queen and Prince Philip at Balmoral. There, they will likely run into Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and baby Archie too.

As Travel + Leisure previously reported, Meghan and Harry will head to Balmoral this summer too to spend a bit of time with Queen Elizabeth. There, the Queen is also reportedly planning to throw Meghan a small birthday tea party on Aug. 4.

“The Queen and Prince Philip adore the couple and, of course, their new great-grandson Archie, and they have invited them to Balmoral for a few days. It is a testament to Meghan that she has been given this invite. It’s a huge honor,” a source shared with The Sun about the reported birthday bash. “Meghan may be a Duchess who can have anything she wants but the Queen is giving her a thoughtful present,” the source added. “It’s no secret Balmoral is Her Majesty’s favorite home and that’s why this invite is so special and heartfelt.”

Hopefully, William and Kate are invited to the party too.

This story was originally published on August 22, 2017.

Prince Harry is a busy guy. As a member of the royal family his schedule is jampacked with meetings, charitable events and more, so we wouldn’t hold it against him if he couldn’t uphold the regular duties of a boyfriend as well.

But, as it turns out, Prince Harry is a true professional in that department, too.

According to the Metro, Prince Harry pre-arranged for his girlfriend Meghan Markle to bypass the regular security line when she flies in and out of Heathrow Airport so that she can sneak in and out unseen, and so that Harry can be waiting for her on the tarmac when she arrives.

However, the plan to get Markle in and out of the airport unseen isn’t exactly easy. In fact, it involves onboard security checks, a waiting Audi RS6, and a very helpful group of airport staff.

“It’s been happening for a while,” an airport source told the Express.

The source added that Markle usually tries to only carry hand luggage when she travels to meet Prince Harry so she won’t have to find her checked luggage. Next, the source explained, “All the necessary security checks must be carried out in advance or onboard because she walks straight from the plane steps to Harry’s car.”

The source noted that the pair was offered the use of the Windsor Suite at Heathrow, a VIP lounge separate from the crowds. However, the VIP service costs nearly £3,000 for each use, so the pair decided to make their own arrangements.

And while Kensington Palace wouldn’t confirm the unique airport arrival, Dai Davies, the former head of royalty protection Chief Superintendent, told the Express that it is indeed typical for royals to be collected directly from the tarmac.

“Given who Harry is, given that he is accompanied by Met police officers and that any security checks would be preordained then I don’t find it that unusual,” Davies said.

Unusual or not, we still think it’s romantic.
