As Halloween approaches, the Prince and Princess of Wales are gearing up for some festive fun with their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Currently, they’re enjoying a well-deserved break during the October half-term from Lambrook School.
It’s a time for family bonding, and this year, they might be heading to their country home in Norfolk, Anmer Hall, to engage in local Halloween activities.
The King’s Sandringham Estate is hosting an exciting event called Make-Your-Own-Pumpkin-House from October 29th to 31st.
This charming activity is inspired by Helen Cooper’s beloved book, Pumpkin Soup.
It’s a wonderful opportunity for the Wales children to immerse themselves in the seasonal spirit while creating lasting memories.
Carol Middleton, the mother of Kate, has previously shared delightful insights into how the royal family celebrates Halloween.
There have been instances where Princess Catherine was spotted shopping for costumes at the local St. Spurys.
Last year, she took her children trick-or-treating around their Kingston neighborhood, showcasing their down-to-earth approach to parenting.
Jay Rotland, who lives nearby, revealed in January that Catherine and her kids knocked on his door for trick-or-treating last Halloween.
His description of the encounter as “very friendly and down-to-earth” highlights the Wales family’s relatable nature, even amidst their royal status.
This week, Prince William shared some of the activities he has been enjoying with his children during their holiday.
One of the highlights includes watching sports together.
While royal duties may take a backseat for the weekend, William still made time to congratulate Billy Monger, who recently set a new Ironman record for double amputees at the World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.
Amidst these family moments, William is also preparing for a significant week ahead.
He will release a documentary focused on his Homewards initiative aimed at tackling homelessness.
The film captures his experiences during the first year of this project, which seeks to address homelessness in six locations across the UK.
In the documentary, William addresses critics who question his role in leading such a vital cause.
He reveals that his commitment to eradicating homelessness is deeply personal, inspired by the compassionate example set by his late mother, Princess Diana.
He emphasizes the importance of educating his children about social issues, noting that conversations about homelessness should start early.
Reflecting on his own childhood experiences, William recalls visiting a homelessness charity with his mother when he was just 11 years old.
He fondly remembers how Diana made everyone feel comfortable, sharing laughs and jokes with those in need.
These formative experiences shaped his understanding of compassion, and he aims to pass that message on to his children.
The documentary features intimate moments, including William engaging with people at a Christmas lunch and helping to clear away dishes.
Unseen footage from 1993 shows him playing chess with a man at a charity, illustrating his early exposure to the realities of homelessness.
William explains how his mother encouraged curiosity in him and his brother, Harry, about the world around them.
He believes it’s crucial for children to understand societal issues rather than living in a bubble.
The documentary will be available for streaming on Disney Plus starting November 1st, allowing a wider audience to witness his heartfelt journey.
As William prepares for the release of his film, he finds himself in a unique position, going head-to-head with his brother Prince Harry, who has been involved in various global projects, including Netflix’s Heart of Invictus.
The contrasting paths of the two princes continue to captivate public interest, especially as they both tackle important social issues in their own ways.
