The Queen recently hosted a heartwarming family reunion at Balmoral, where she met with Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children.

This marked the first time they had all come together since the start of the lockdown in March.

Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made the trip to visit the Queen and Prince Philip, who have been residing in a Covid secure bubble on the 50,000-acre estate.

According to sources, Queen Elizabeth II took the opportunity to spend some quality time with her great-grandchildren, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, in the open air.

The reunion brought immense joy to William and Kate, who were thrilled to show their support after a difficult year for everyone.

The Queen and Prince Philip, affectionately known as HMS Bubble among the staff, continue to adhere to strict measures.

A royal insider revealed that, like any other family, they had longed to be reunited and were ecstatic that it was finally possible this weekend.

Despite the necessary social distancing protocols, they found ways to see each other outdoors.

Given the challenges the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh have witnessed the nation face during the pandemic, their desire to show support was evident in their decision to gather at Balmoral.

Joining the monarch and her immediate family were Prince Edward, Sophie Wessex, and Princess Anne.

Earlier this month, Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank had also paid a visit to the private Scottish estate.

Speaking about Balmoral in an ITV documentary titled Our Queen at 90, Princess Eugenie shared her admiration for the stunning location.

She described it as the most beautiful place on earth and emphasized the Queen’s deep love for the highlands, walks, picnics, and, of course, dogs.
