Kate Middleton Wants to Take Children to This Part of the World (And It’s Easy to See Why)

This week, the Princess of Wales, 43, attended the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade of the Irish Guards in London. Not only did she hand out medals during the ceremony, but she also drank a half-pint of Guinness with the Irish Guards to celebrate the holiday. 

While chatting with Corporal Adam Hamilton, Princess Catherine revealed that she hopes to travel more with her three children—Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6—now that they’re older. Specifically, the royal wants to plan an overseas trip to Australia and New Zealand (according to Hello! magazine).

“George finds it fascinating that he has been to Australia and New Zealand,” the royal said, referring to a 2014 trip when Prince George was only 9-months-old. “I would like to go back there with them now. It’s finding time to do that. But 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.”

Princess Catherine and Prince William have visited Australia and New Zealand multiple times (including a three-week tour in 2014). The islands will always be special because it’s where they took Prince George for his first overseas trip.

Princess Catherine continued, “We tend to go further afield when its official visits. It’s being able to carve out time to experience these countries in a more private capacity. Because otherwise you end up seeing lots of insides of amazing buildings but you don’t get to meet that many people.”

Sounds like it’s time to renew those passports.
