Kate Middleton and Prince William took a much-needed vacation to one of their favorite getaway destinations.
Some R&R with her husband was just what Kate Middleton needed after a grueling year of cancer treatments.
Just before celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, Princess Kate and Prince William whisked their three kids away on a hush-hush tropical vacation – with Kate’s mom in tow to give the couple some much-needed alone time, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The couple took their young ones to Mustique, a private Caribbean island that’s long served as a playground for British royals and the global elite.
During their stay at the luxurious Les Jolies Eaux villa, the Prince and Princess of Wales enjoyed some much-needed couple time while Kate’s mom, Carole Middleton, looked after George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.
Married since 2011, the couple enjoyed romantic beach walks and frequented their favorite spots, like the laid-back Basil’s Bar, where they sipped drinks and danced into the night.
A waiter revealed: “It seemed like they were enjoying a second honeymoon. That’s how happy they looked.”
The well-deserved break comes after a challenging year for the couple, with Kate, 43, being diagnosed with cancer and undergoing abdominal surgery in January 2024.
Following her chemotherapy treatment, Kate shared in September she was cancer-free and in remission, focusing on her recovery.
She’s been gradually ramping up her royal duties lately, but before she returns to a full-time schedule, the couple wanted a moment to reset.
A source revealed: “It was crucial that William and Kate go away to reconnect and give their relationship the attention it needs.”
William, 42, has also been stressed coping with Kate’s illness and his father King Charles III’s declining health after his cancer diagnosis last February.
The insider added: “This family time was that much more special because of everything William and Kate have been through.”
Mustique, a small island with sandy beaches and turquoise waters, has always held a special place for William and Kate. They first visited in 2008 and have since returned for two of Kate’s babymoons and George’s sixth birthday in 2019.
