After a tumultuous year, Prince William and Princess Kate are planning to take a much-needed break with their three children.

The royal couple, who have faced numerous challenges in 2023, including ongoing tensions with Prince Harry, are looking forward to some quality time as a family.

According to a Royal Insider, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will first join King Charles and Queen Camilla to celebrate Christmas together with their brood at Sandringham.

Following the holiday festivities, the family of five will embark on a vacation to a destination within the Commonwealth.

The Insider revealed that the couple is eager to spend time away from their royal duties and enjoy a relaxing holiday with their nuclear family.

It seems they are in need of a well-deserved break after a demanding year that saw them taking on new roles following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

The pressure on Prince William and Princess Kate was further intensified by the release of Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” which contained scathing remarks about his brother and sister-in-law.

To add to their challenges, they faced a fresh wave of accusations from Sussex loyalist Omid Scobie in his recently published book, “Endgame.”

In light of these circumstances, the royal couple is keen to focus on their children and create lasting memories during their vacation.

The source shared that the holiday will involve beach relaxation and quality family time.

It is not the first time that Prince William and Princess Kate have treated their children to family holidays.

In 2016, Prince George and Princess Charlotte enjoyed their first ski trip to the French Alps accompanied by their parents.

Additionally, the family has made frequent visits to Mystique, a small Caribbean island formerly owned by Princess Margaret.

In 2019, they traveled to Jordan to explore the Princess of Wales’ former home before her marriage to Prince Charles.

During their time off, it is expected that Prince William and Princess Kate will put aside the issues that have plagued them throughout the year and prioritize their family’s well-being.

The source even hinted that their Christmas goodwill is unlikely to extend to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle due to the ongoing friction between the couples.

As a result, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge do not plan on sending any gifts or cards to the Sussexes.

In conclusion, Prince William and Princess Kate are eagerly anticipating a relaxing holiday with their children after a challenging year.
