So there won't be many opportunities to see Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis this year. But there will be a few opportunities to see the Prince and Princess of Wales' children at events in 2025. It's no secret that the health and safety of one family member can affect the entire family, and the royal family is no exception. Princess Katherine's health struggles over the past few months have certainly affected her husband and three children.
Like many famous parents, they are cautious about exposing their children to too much attention in the digital age. In fact, whenever George, Charlotte and Louis are seen in public, videos and photos instantly go viral on social media, sometimes going viral. They know that they have to let the kids out at certain times, but they also keep them out of sight for the most part.
Robert Hardman agrees that there won’t be many more public appearances than necessary. Even though George, Charlotte and Louis will be out of sight for most of the year, that doesn’t mean they won’t make the occasional appearance. April is likely to be the next time William and Katherine's children make a public appearance, possibly at church at Easter in April 2025.
There are also major events on the royal family's calendar, such as the King's Birthday Parade in June. It is likely that George, Charlotte and Louis will appear at the 80th anniversary of V-Day in May 2025, which will include street parties and major international events. Then, if there is a major charity event, such as their mother's concert, they may appear.
The last time George, Charlotte and Louis were seen with their parents was on December 25, 2024, for a major family event. The family of five were staying at Anmer Hall, their home on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England. In 2022, the family decided to leave their high-profile life in Kensington and move to the quieter winter castle, where they seek peace away from the media spotlight.
Former investigators have warned that Prince William and Prince George are big targets not only because of their roles in the royal line of succession but also because of threats from extremist groups. With two future kings living on the same estate, top security is needed, especially as they are constantly under public scrutiny. A high-level meeting is expected to discuss the necessary security measures for the Welsh family.
Although they have tried to shield their children from the details of the breach, rumours have reached them, leaving the family feeling insecure. Princess Katherine and her children are struggling with anxiety and fear, while Catherine has been suffering from nightmares and the family has had trouble sleeping. King Charles, who is battling cancer, is deeply concerned about his family’s health and recognises the importance of family in difficult times. He has invited the Welsh family to move closer to him at Clarence House, about 30 kilometres from their children’s school.
Although the commute will be longer, the king believes it is a small sacrifice for the safety and peace of mind it will bring. William and Katherine are seriously considering the invitation, understanding the value of being close to Charles during his health challenges. For the king, inviting William and Katherine to Clarence House is not just about protection but also the opportunity to spend more time with his grandchildren.
