Prince William and Kate Middleton joined the royal family on their trip to Balmoral this summer.

But in its August 30 issue, Woman’s Day claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge excused themselves from the royal family because they also went on a private trip to the secret summer cottage.

A source claimed that not a lot of people know about Prince William and Middleton’s cottage in Tam-Na-Ghar. And the royal couple also allegedly has a lot of memories there.

“They absolutely love it there. It’s their own special secret hideaway that no one knows about and they have some wonderful family memories there already. Everyone’s had a tough year, but Kate was determined to get William’s mind off his problems and relax,” the source said.

The queen also made sure that everyone would have fun during their short vacation so she planned different games and activities for her family.

Her Majesty also made sure that all the children would have something fun to do during their vacation. And she allegedly played Twister with them.

“More importantly, it was the first time in a year that William and Kate were able to spend some alone time without any worries about their kids – or their ongoing feud with Wills’ brother Harry,” the source said.

At the end of their trip, the queen was reminded of how great the next generation of royals is. And she also reminded everyone of the importance of family.

After a tough year with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Megxit, as well as Prince Andrew’s sexual abuse claims, the queen is more determined than ever to instill important royal values to the next generation.

And she’s allegedly seeking the help of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to make this happen.

But while it is true that the queen has been spending some time in Balmoral this summer with her family, there’s no proof that Prince William and Middleton separated themselves from everyone.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also went on a quick vacation to the Isle of Scilly with their three children. So, it doesn’t make sense for them to go on another private trip while everyone else is in Balmoral.

The tabloid’s claim that not a lot of people know about the royal couple’s secret cottage isn’t true either. If no one knows about it, it’s unlikely for the tabloid to get first dibs on the information.
