The Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge are thought to have enjoyed a ski break in Courchevel,
France with their three young children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince
Louis last week. According to various Twitter and Instagram users, the
royals were spotted on the slopes and enjoying meals at restaurants in the
luxury French resort.
It wouldn’t be a complete
surprise if the Cambridges did manage to slip away for a winter break. Their
last high-profile appearance was on Tuesday 29 March when William, Kate, George
and Charlotte attended Prince Philip’s service of thanksgiving at
Westminster Abbey.
But since then, the Duke and
Duchess have enjoyed the time off from royal duties following their week-long tour of
the Caribbean. George, eight, and Charlotte, six, are also on their school
holidays from Thomas’s Battersea, while Louis, three, is enjoying a break
from Willcocks Nursery School.
The children are also at the
prime age to learn how to ski – a skill and hobby that their parents love.

Back in 2016, George and
Charlotte experienced their first taste of playing in the snow when the
royals visited Courchevel for their first family holiday. The palace
released official portraits showing William, Kate and their young children
posing against snowy backdrops.
“The Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge are delighted to share new photographs of their family,” a
spokesperson said at the time. “The images show Their Royal Highnesses
enjoying a short skiing holiday with their children in the French Alps.

“This was their first
holiday as a family of four and the first time either of the children had
played in the snow. It was a very special and fun short holiday for the family,
and they are grateful that John Stillwell [The PA photographer] was able to
capture the moment so well. The Duke and Duchess hope people enjoy the
photos.”
