The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge enjoyed a staycation this year with the family - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and youngest son Prince Louis, two, when they spend part of the summer on the Isles of Scilly.
The couple and their children were spotted on Tresco in July and later locals saw William and Kate enjoying a relaxed bike ride on the island off the coast of Cornwall.
During lockdown Prince William revealed his wife Kate was better at teaching the children. Speaking about the thing he learned the most, he said, 'Probably that my patience is a lot shorter than I thought it was.. and that my wife has a lot of patience….' And added, 'I was a bit embarrassed about my maths knowledge – I can't do Year 2 Maths!'
