After months of emotional strain and health battles behind palace walls, Kate Middleton and Prince William are finally pressing pause—and planning a long-overdue escape.
According to Life & Style, the royal couple is mapping out summer plans that include both treasured family traditions and a romantic trip for just the two of them. The Princess of Wales, having recently resumed royal duties following her courageous cancer battle, is said to be craving time alone with her husband—a chance to heal, reconnect, and breathe.
“They’re mapping out summer plans right now,” a royal insider shared with the publication. “With the usual family trips to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.” But that’s not all.
The real excitement? “They’re also looking to take a romantic holiday just the two of them and talking about going back to the Seychelles, where they honeymooned,” the insider revealed. It’s a destination tied deeply to their love story—and now, it could be the place where they find new strength in each other.
The decision to carve out personal time comes with the full blessing of King Charles. The monarch—who is also undergoing cancer treatment—reportedly gave William and Kate the green light to step away from the royal spotlight for as long as they need.
“William got the go-ahead to tone down the frenetic pace,” the source confirmed. “Charles doesn’t want to see William burn out, and he certainly doesn’t want to overload Kate when she’s still fragile.”
Sources say the King’s own health struggles have given him new empathy for what Kate endured. He’s been deeply moved by her resilience and wants her to focus on recovery—not royal protocol. “He’s told her and William to take whatever time they need,” the insider said.

For Kate and William, it’s not about walking away from their responsibilities—it’s about preserving their bond and protecting what matters most. After months of emotional stress, medical treatments, and public speculation, they are finally prioritizing each other—and their mental health.
“They won’t go overboard,” the insider added, “but they are very keen to pull back a little so they can focus on each other more.”
This move also reflects a growing shift inside the monarchy. With two senior royals battling cancer at once, the Palace is being forced to rethink what duty looks like. The old mantra of “keep calm and carry on” is being replaced with something far more personal: protect the people behind the titles.
For Kate, who captured public hearts with her video announcement about her diagnosis, the healing process is still ongoing. Though she’s resumed work, sources say she remains cautious about overextending herself. William, ever her steady support, has reportedly been encouraging her to listen to her body and prioritize their family.
Their planned getaway—possibly to the same white-sand shores where they once spent their honeymoon—isn’t just a vacation. It’s a quiet declaration that after the storm, their love remains the anchor.
Insiders say the couple is determined to make the most of the summer, cherishing every private moment before returning to the public eye full-time in the autumn. And while the royal schedule remains demanding, Charles is making sure his heir and daughter-in-law know one thing: the crown can wait—family comes first.
