Princess Charlotte and Prince George to have EXCITING week- Kate and William take time off

This week is February half term for many, and Princess Charlotte and Prince George have a week away from School to look forward too. George, 5, is in year one at Thomas’s Battersea whilst Charlotte, 3, is in her final year at Willcocks Nursery. Half term is a time for the little royals to have fun with their parents and spend time with younger brother Prince Louis. 

To make their half term even more special, it is thought Charlotte and George will either be staying at Anmer Hall or perhaps going on a skiing holiday. 

Anmer Hall is the Cambridge’s country retreat in Norfolk, whilst skiing is something the family are known to enjoy around this time of year.

Kate and William went on their first ski holiday in the French Alps in March 2016 when Charlotte was just ten months old and George was nearly three.

The palace released portraits of the then family of four, with a statement that read: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to share new photographs of their family.

"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."

They could return to the alps to give Prince Louis, who is nine months old, the chance to experience the snowy holiday destination for the first time.

To ensure they spend half-term with their children, both Kate and William have a week free from royal duties. 

Kate revealed recently that her favourite thing to do is spend time with her family, as it is something which makes her “very happy.”

Kate took a photo into a London primary school of her and husband William with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Speaking to a class at Lavender Primary School the Duchess said: “This is a photograph of my family. These are my children and this is my husband. 

“And my family makes me feel happy. And we like playing outside together and spending lots of time together as a family. 

“And that makes me feel very happy. Do you like spending time with your families? What do you like doing sometimes?"

Kate has also recently spoken about how George and Charlotte enjoy helping to cook dinner as well as hunting for spiders in the garden and arts and crafts. 

She has also told of five-year-old George’s creative streak - explaining how he had found charcoal by a fireplace at home and decided to draw with it.

Kate said that George had told her: "Mummy I'm going to draw a picture," adding: "That's what's so nice you can do it from all around you."
