She gave birth to the new heir to the throne, the adorable baby Prince George, less than a month ago, but already the Duchess of Cambridge and her husband are planning on taking a family holiday, the International Business Times reports.
So where are Kate Middleton and Prince William taking Georgie to, and when? A royal correspondent recently revealed to Now magazine that the Duke and Duchess are planning on taking their son to the Queen's Scottish estate in Balmoral later this month, where Prince George will meet his great-grandfather, Prince Phillip.
"After being in the spotlight, they'll be looking forward to this period of relaxation," royal correspondent Robert Jobson told Now magazine. "Wills will carry little George in a papoose and take him walking through the Highlands. The family will go fishing and have barbecues by the river. There's also a little hotel off-site with a swimming pool Princess Diana took her boys to, so George may even take his first swim."
Middleton has been taking after her late mother-in-law Princess Diana quite a lot during and after her pregnancy, from her sophisticated maternity fashion to her decision to give birth at the luxurious Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital in London, the same place where Prince William was born. The Duchess is also taking after Princess Diana's laid-back attitude towards royal life, proudly showing off her post-baby bump to the world while dressed in a very Diana-esque polka dot dress during Prince George's introduction to the world.
The Duke of Cambridge is also taking after his parents, as he is currently in the process of creating and helping to design a very special brooch for his wife, a gift reminiscent of what Prince Charles gave to Princess Diana after the birth of Prince William. Though he considered giving Kate Middleton a piece of Princess Diana's jewelry, in the end he opted for an original gift, a brooch with a piank diamond as a centerpiece, pretty and feminine just like Kate Middleton.
"William has been giving this a lot of thought for a long time," a source told the Daily Express, "He's got lots of ideas from studying history of art at university and decided on a pink diamond as a centrepiece because it is pretty and feminine. It will be a thank you present to Kate."
