Kate Middleton and Prince William take kids on ski holiday in the French Alps
Fit for a ski-ng and queen.
Kate Middleton and Prince William took their children on a ski holiday last week in the French Alps while the royal kids enjoyed their Easter break.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, 42 and 43, respectively, were seen with their three kiddos — Prince George, 11; Princess Charlotte, 9; and Prince Louis, 6 — hitting the slopes in one of Europe’s premier winter destinations April 3.

Louis and Charlotte both wore royal blue ski jackets, while George sported a two-tone navy and light blue parka. Louis opted for matching blue ski pants, but George and Charlotte donned what appeared to be dark navy or black pants.
The trio also differed in their choice of accessories. Kate and William’s only daughter paired a pink helmet with matching pink gloves; George wore a black helmet and black gloves; and Louis made a bold statement with neon green-tinged mitts.
Kate stunned in navy pants with red and white racing stripes along the side, a white and navy jacket and pink goggles.

The Alps has long been a preferred getaway spot for the Waleses. In 2008, when Kate and William were still dating, they were spotted on a ski holiday in Klosters, Switzerland.
After marrying in 2011, the royal couple took George and Charlotte to the French Alps.

William’s love of skiing can be traced back to his childhood when he often went on trips to the Alps with his now-estranged brother, Harry, and his late mother, Princess Diana.
The princess often favored the ski runs of Lech, Austria, taking Harry and William there in 1991 and 1993.
William and Kate’s latest snowy sojourn came just over a year after she announced she had been diagnosed with cancer, ending months of speculation about her wellbeing after she stepped back from royal duties to recover from abdominal surgery.
The princess said she was cancer-free in September.
