This is how Prince George and Princess Charlotte spent their half -term break

Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton are very strict about their children getting fresh air and playing outside. In fact, the little royals have very limited screen time. Prince George and Princess Charlotte are also not allowed to use iPads and tablets. Therefore it would make sense that their half-term vacation included plenty of time outdoors.

According to Mail Online, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took their kiddos on a lovely ski-vacation. They began their break at Anmer Hall on Queen Elizabeth II’s Sandringham estate. The children were able to enjoy some fresh air and some pool time at Anmer Hall’s lavish spa facility.

In order to get a change of pace –the Cambridges also headed to their favorite ski resort — the Courchevel in the Troi Vallees in France. Both Prince George and Princess Charlotte had gone on ski vacations before. Back in 2016, the duke and the duchess took their littles to the Courchevel to see the slopes. Prince Louis, who is not yet one year old, stayed back at Anmer with his nanny, Maria Borallo. Hopefully, he’ll be old enough to see the slopes next year.

These are the other activites Prince George and Princess Charlotte probably did during half-term break

Aside skiing and swimming, the prince and princess probably did several indoor activities furuing their break. The duchess has been teaching her older kiddos how to cook. She revealed their favorite meal during a Feb 2019 visit to Ivy Learning Trust. Matthew Kleiner-Mann, chief executive of the Ivy Learning Trust told reporters, “She was telling us how much her children love cooking and how they cook for her. They made cheesy pasta the other day. One stirs the flour, one puts the milk and butter in. And they make salads and stuff.”

The duke and duchess also enjoy doing arts and crafts with their kiddos even though it’s not exactly Prince Williams forte –he’s still enthusiastic. Middleton revealed that she has been “loving” getting stuck into crafts with her children. She told onlookers, “It’s something I’m loving doing with the children – papier mache – I forgot how messy it is, but it’s really great.” In addition to papier mache –Prince George enjoys drawing. The duchess explained that the little prince found a piece of charcoal and began using it to draw. Prince George had told her, “Mummy I’m going to draw a picture. That’s what’s so nice you can do it from all around you.” Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte’s favorite craft is using beads to make bracelets.
