Inside Kate Middleton's Secret Ski Vacation With Her Family

Kate Middleton celebrated the New Year on a ski trip in the Alps with her family, according to new reports. Per the Mail on Sunday, the Wales family “enjoyed a quiet break in the Alps just over two weeks ago.” The paper also reports: “They are said to have slipped away from their home at Anmer on the Sandringham estate shortly after Christmas, and spent several days away, along with members of the Middleton family.”

“It was lovely to see Kate relaxing and enjoying herself,” a staff member at a mountaintop restaurant told the Mail. “They looked like a normal English family, and a lot of people didn't recognise them. It was not the first time we had seen them. They have been coming here for years. I think they love the area. We often see Kate's sister Pippa as well.”

Further, an onlooker said, “James was there with his wife and then Kate arrived with Charlotte and Louis. It seemed like a bit of a Middleton family knees-up. Everyone seemed to be really happy…There were no airs and graces and actually they seemed like any normal family enjoying a ski break. There were lots of laughs and the children were very polite.”

They added, “The only reason you would have known that they were people of importance was because when Kate arrived so did a group of security guards. Kate looked like she was having a lovely time.”

Kate's brother James shared some photos from a family ski trip on his Instagram, writing, “We started the New Year with an adventure into the mountains. We were lucky enough to be engulfed by blue skies and cold crip air. I can’t believe how quickly Inigo is growing up- in fact that scares me the most…I fear if I blink I will miss it…but like with the dogs we include him in all of our adventures making memories taking each day as it comes…”

Kate has long been an avid skier; in fact, her relationship with Prince William first went public when they were photographed on a ski trip together in Klosters, Switzerland. In 2016, they shared family photos from a family trip to Courchevel, France:

Just last week, Kate revealed her cancer was in remission. “It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focussed on recovery. As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support,” she wrote in a personal message after visiting The Royal Marsden hospital, where she received chemotherapy treatment.
