Prince William and Princess Kate are making the most of the half-term with their three young children, and they look set to have some spooky Halloween fun together
Excitement levels in the Wales household will be mounting ahead of Halloween.
Like so many children up and down the country, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are likely counting down to the spooky festivities – but how will they celebrate? It’s thought that the family are currently enjoying time together at William and Kate’s Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, where they typically retreat in the school holidays.
George, 11, Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Louis are currently on their half term break from Lambrook school, and are no doubt ready for some fun Halloween activities. In the past, Kate has been spotted buying costumes in the local Sainsbury’s for her young children.
Local Kathy Whittaker clocked the royal mum as she was browsing the Halloween section in the King’s Lynn branch of the store back in 2019. Kathy told The Mirror at the time: “She was with Charlotte and George looking at Halloween outfits but her bodyguard was kind of watching people with phones and telling them no pictures. I managed to get the photo as she was at the self-service check out.

“I didn’t see what she actually bought. The lady that told me she was there had children with her and she said Kate was asking her children what they were going to be for Halloween. I think she bought some Halloween bits for her kids but I don’t know what.”
And the family have even been known to go trick-or-treating. In October 2022, Princess Kate was seen taking part in the Halloween tradition near to their Kensington Palace home.
A photo published by Hello! showed the royal mum standing by a neighbour’s gate in London with her children. And although the picture was taken from afar, making it hard to tell what costumes the children were wearing, Princess Kate was seen holding a bag, presumably to collect all their Halloween treats.
The image was posted by their neighbour Jay Rutland, husband of Tamara Ecclestone, who wrote: “For anyone doubting how down to earth William and Kate are … This is Kate with their kids knocking on our door in London trick-or-treating at Halloween.”
A love of trick-or-treating seems to be a bit of a Middleton family tradition. Princess Kate’s mum, Carole Middleton, previously spoke about her favourite part of the season on social media.
“Halloween is an Autumn highlight for me,” Carole wrote on the Instagram account for Party Pieces in 2022. “I can still remember the fun and frights from my own childhood; the chance to dress up, decorate pumpkins and go trick-or-treating!” Sharing the sweet way she planned to celebrate that year, she continued, “I’ve even grown my own pumpkins this year, so I’m looking forward to decorating those with my loved ones.”
It’s Halloween! Wondering how Princess Catherine of Wales and her children are preparing to celebrate this mystical day?
The most mystical day of autumn has arrived. The Princess of Wales must have been looking forward to a fun-filled holiday with her three children. Baking, crafts, and even Halloween outfits await them!
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis love Halloween like all children. Catherine is also probably very excited about this amazing holiday, as it gives her the opportunity to spend time with her family, dressing up in costumes of fairy tale characters and preparing sweets or treats.

The children take part in all the extracurricular activities that their school offers, and when half-term comes around, nothing changes. They love playing football and running around the grounds.
The wife of Prince William of Wales has great organizational skills, which will help her arrange some Halloween activities, for example, baking and dressing up in costumes.
In 2019, Her Highness was spotted at the self-service checkout of local brand Sainsbury’s in Hardwick, where she was buying fancy dress costumes for George and Charlotte.
Local resident Kate Carter shared her impressions after meeting members of the royal family. According to her, Princess Catherine was with the children and looked lovely. She is beautiful, and the children were also marvelous. The children were so well behaved!
As royal expert Katie Nicholl observed, George, Charlotte, and Louis love Halloween, and Catherine really gets into the spirit of it and invites the children to trick-or-treat.
The wife of the heir to the British throne is known for her practical nature, and her favorite activities to do with her children during the holidays are baking, ceramics, and arts and crafts.
For the Prince and Princess of Wales, it is incredibly important to instill a love of nature in their children and offer them as normal a childhood as possible. It is very important to Catherine that her children have a childhood similar to her own.
The Princess of Wales’ mother, Carole Middleton, has previously spoken about her attitude toward Halloween. She talked about looking forward to decorating pumpkins with her loved ones.
According to Carole Middleton, Halloween is the highlight of autumn for her. She still remembers the fun and scares from her own childhood—being able to dress up, decorate pumpkins, and go trick-or-treating. This year, Catherine’s mother even grew her own pumpkins to decorate with her family.
