They visited a small local shop in Windsor to browse decorations, costumes and treats. Shoppers were surprised to see the Princess of Wales dressed in her usual attire, leading her excited children around the store. George, now 11, was particularly excited, discussing costume ideas with his siblings. Charlotte, nine, was drawn to the shiny accessories, while six-year-old Louis was fascinated by the colourful sweets. It was heartwarming for onlookers to see them behaving like any normal family.
Onlookers noted that Catherine asked her children what they wanted to be for Halloween and they were chatting happily. It's been rumoured that George might want to dress up as a knight, while Charlotte is considering a fairy or a witch. Young Louis seems to love the dinosaur costume. Their excitement doesn't stop at costumes, as George has also been seen picking pumpkins, possibly for their annual pumpkin carving tradition. The royal children are currently on their two-and-a-half week school holidays, which coincide with Halloween.
Prince William and Princess Catherine have decided to keep their children in day school, allowing them to return home to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor every evening, in a departure from the royal tradition of boarding from the age of eight. The family are expected to spend some quality time together during the holidays, especially as Halloween approaches. While specific plans have yet to be confirmed, it's likely that Prince William will adjust his schedule to be with his children more. The quiet period also allows Catherine, who is slowly returning to public life after chemotherapy, to enjoy time with her family.
Sources close to the royal family say they are planning a cosy Halloween, with fun decorations at their Windsor home. They may even escape to their Norfolk estate for a peaceful country celebration, away from the public eye. There are rumours that William may join in the festivities, potentially surprising the children with his own Halloween costume. Halloween is a favourite holiday for the royal children, and their grandmother Carol has expressed her love of the occasion in previous posts.
While the family still keeps some privacy for the children, Catherine was spotted in 2019 shopping for Halloween costumes for George and Charlotte, suggesting they may be gearing up for the spooky holiday again this year. In addition to Halloween activities, the family enjoys time outdoors at Anmer Hall in Norfolk, enjoying bonfires and barbecues. The historic estate is said to have spooky legends, adding to its charm. Prince William and Princess Catherine have prioritised a normal upbringing for their children, filled with simple joys and family bonding.
When it comes to Halloween, the royal family puts an emphasis on loving family life. This year’s festivities promise to be magical, filled with costumes, crafts, sweets and perhaps some scary games. As the excitement builds, many are wondering whether they will see the royal children in costume or if the family will opt for privacy, allowing them to enjoy the holiday in peace. Regardless, it’s clear that the royal family will be making some unforgettable memories this Halloween.
