Kate Middleton and Prince William are reportedly planning a romantic trip without their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. According to OK! Magazine, the royal couple is eager to take some time for themselves and may soon head to New York City together. The trip would coincide with Prince William’s scheduled appearance at the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit on September 24.
A royal insider shared that Kate Middleton is “very excited” about returning to her royal duties and may join William in New York for the event. The summit is an important milestone for William’s environmental initiative, and it seems like the couple is looking to combine business with pleasure during their time away.
“They’ve been craving the chance to get away and have some fun, so this serves as a perfect opportunity to do just that,” the source revealed. “Being away from the kids and holed up in a ritzy hotel will be a treat, they love New York and its energy.” For the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, this trip offers a rare chance to escape the day-to-day pressures of parenting and focus on each other.
The royal insider also highlighted how strong the bond between the couple has become. “Prince William has been Kate’s absolute rock,” the source explained, noting how William has taken on more household duties and cared for the children as Kate has faced her own personal challenges. “He’s taken on more household duties, been caring for the kids, juggling more responsibilities,” the source added, painting a picture of a devoted father and husband who has stepped up for his family in difficult times.
One of those difficult times has been Kate Middleton’s recent cancer diagnosis, which the couple has kept largely private. Despite the hardships, the diagnosis has only strengthened their relationship, according to the source. “They take nothing for granted,” the insider shared, emphasizing how the couple has become closer through the adversity.
As the couple prepares for their New York City getaway, royal watchers are eager to see how Kate will reengage with her royal duties after her time out of the spotlight. But for Kate and William, this trip is more than just about royal engagements—it’s an opportunity to recharge, reconnect, and enjoy each other’s company away from the pressures of palace life.
