The Prince and Princess of Wales have discreetly taken a holiday at the exclusive French Alpine ski resort of Courchevel, it has been revealed. The royal couple were observed last month at a premium mountainside restaurant, where even a simple ham and cheese toastie carries a price tag of €85 (£74), albeit one described as 'truffle-infused'.
A Polite and Enjoyable Experience
A staff member from the establishment shared, 'They had a very nice time and were very polite.' Fellow diners who recognised the future King and his wife, who appeared immaculate in their ski attire, took photographs from a distance as the pair departed after their costly meal.
One enthusiastic diner recounted, 'I couldn't believe I was having lunch in the same restaurant as Kate and William. They looked adorable in their beanie hats.'
The Glamour of Courchevel
Known as 'the Saint Tropez of the slopes', Courchevel is famed for its Michelin-starred restaurants, designer shopping outlets, and celebrity visitors, including George Clooney and the Beckhams. It remains unclear whether the Waleses' children, Prince George (12), Prince Louis (7), and Princess Charlotte (10), accompanied their parents on the slopes during last month's trip.
William and Kate, along with their eldest children, first visited the French Alps in 2016 and have since embarked on several private holidays to upscale resorts. Early last year, the family was seen skiing with members of the Princess's family and dining at a mountaintop restaurant, described by a source at the time as 'a Middleton knees-up'.
Additional Entertainment Highlights
In other news, Lady Mary Charteris has expressed frustration over her holiday in the prestigious Kenyan resort of Lamu being disrupted by ongoing building work. She remarked, 'There is a site next to the hotel and a digger moving heavy rocks. I should have been warned. This is not what I paid good money for.'
Meanwhile, Irish actress Alison Oliver walked the red carpet at the premiere of 'Wuthering Heights' with her co-star, an orange Pomeranian named Bubble, who plays Isabella's dog Fanny in the film. The canine stole the show, even receiving attention from Margot Robbie. Oliver, 28, also revealed that her wig caught fire during a candlelit scene with Jacob Elordi, adding a dramatic twist to the filming process.
Model Cara Delevingne has debuted a new mullet hairstyle on Instagram, receiving praise from celebrity friends such as actress Florence Pugh and singer Paloma Faith.
