Princess Kate Middleton made a rare personal revelation while attending the St. Patrick’s Day Parade at Wellington Barracks, where she shared key details about her travel experiences and her children’s global adventures.
As the Colonel of the Irish Guards, Kate was present to honor the regiment, distributing the traditional sprigs of shamrock and presenting medals to officers. However, it was her candid conversation with an Australian reservist, Corporal Adam Hamilton, that truly stole the spotlight.
During their chat, Kate made an unexpected confession about herself—she absolutely loves traveling!
“I love to travel – yes, it’s a long flight. But I love the Middle East because that’s familiar to me [from] growing up. There are so many opportunities now to travel, I think it’s brilliant to experience it,” the Princess of Wales shared.
Her remarks left royal fans intrigued, as she rarely discusses her personal travel preferences. Her reference to the Middle East also sparked curiosity, as it is known that she spent part of her childhood in Jordan while her father worked for British Airways.
But the conversation didn’t end there. Kate also revealed fascinating insights about Prince George’s previous travels, highlighting his unique connection to Australia and New Zealand.
“George finds it fascinating that he has been to Australia and New Zealand,” she remarked, referencing their 2014 royal tour when he was just a baby.
She further explained how the royal family’s official trips often limit their ability to truly experience the culture of a destination.
“We tend to go further afield when it’s official visits, but it’s about being able to carve out time to experience these countries in a more private capacity. Because otherwise, you end up seeing lots of the insides of amazing buildings, but you don’t get to meet that many people,” she noted.
The comments come amid ongoing speculation about the Prince and Princess of Wales’ future royal tours, particularly whether they will bring their children along for a major trip. While Kate has always prioritized keeping her kids grounded, this insight suggests that she values giving them exposure to different cultures.
Royal fans may also recall that Prince William once expressed his desire to return to Australia with Kate and their children. The country holds special significance for the couple, as it was where Princess Diana took William on his first royal tour as a baby in 1983.
Kate’s latest remarks have left many wondering: could the Wales family be planning another big overseas visit soon?
For now, the Princess of Wales remains focused on her royal duties, but one thing is clear—when it comes to travel, Kate Middleton has a serious case of wanderlust!
