The Princess of Wales is reportedly set to join the rest of the Royal Family for their annual summer break in Balmoral. It is said that Kate, who has been undergoing cancer treatment , will make the journey to the Scottish Highlands later this month in what would be her longest trip away from her Windsor home since her diagnosis earlier this year. Since the shock announcement she had received a cancer diagnosis back in March, the 42-year-old has mainly split her time between Adelaide Cottage in Windsor and Amner Hall in Norfolk.

She has made just two public appearances - at Trooping the Colour and Wimbledon, with these just a short drive from her Windsor home. According to the Mail On Sunday , some insiders had feared that given her health situation, she might not have been able to travel to Balmoral. However, the publication adds that sources have confirmed she will go to Scotland for the royals' annual summer trip.

Back in June, Kate released a highly personal message about her preventative chemotherapy treatment ahead of her first appearance back at Trooping the Colour. In it, she candidly admitted that her treatment was continuing for a few more months and said she was "not out of the woods yet" and had "good days and bad days. However, two royals it seems who won't be joining King Charles and the rest of the Firm at Balmoral this summer are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle .

It has been claimed that the Sussexes have not been invited to join the rest of the Royal Family on.
