And while she celebrated her 43rd birthday on January 9, 2025, the Princess of Wales was entitled to a beautiful trip, with the family.
While Prince William had his habits in Switzerland or Austria, from the time when he still skied with his parents and his little brother, Harry, it is now in France, where he likes skiing.
Kate and William ski again in Courchevel
With Kate Middleton, their first visit to the Alps, in Courchevel dates back to 2011 before their marriage. They returned to the 3 Vallées resort as a group of four in 2016 then as a group of five in 2022. Moreover, it was in Courchevel that their children learned to ski.
And what could be nicer than going there when everyone has already gone back to school! THE Daily Mail reports this Sunday, January 19, 2025, that William and Kate left with their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis for a few days in the mountains. And this, just before his birthday in England.
First spotted on the slopes, the three children joined their parents at La Cave des Creux, a mountain restaurant, to sip hot drinks. Part of Kate Middleton's family was there too. Kate's brother, James, joined them for lunch.
On site, a member of the restaurant staff reported that Kate Middleton seemed “relax and have fun”. He added that all “looked likea normal English family“. As proof, “many people didn’t recognize them”if not for their bodyguards.
-A long love affair with France
It is the Middleton clan who have a real love affair with France. Notably the sister of the Princess of Wales, Pippa, who loves spending the hot season in Saint-Barthélémy. As for the slopes, she also loves the French ski area.
And according to a regular seasonal worker: “It wasn't the first time we've seen them. They've been coming here for years. I think they like the area. We also often see Pippa, Kate's sister“.
