Royal Family News – The Cambridges Are Popular
At this time Prince William and Kate Middleton are enjoying the summer break with their children Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four. That is not the problem, but their mode of transportation is, apparently. The Cambridge’s have come in for some grief for their use of helicopters to get to and fro.
Royal Family News – Are The Cambridge’s Indulging Too Much?
It’s been alleged that Queen Elizabeth is not fond of the family traveling together by helicopter. She reportedly thinks it is too great a risk for the clan to be on the same conveyance as certain individuals are set to one day take over the monarchy.
As such it’s been reported that she plans to have a talk with the pair when vacation is over and it’s back to business time.

Royal Family News – Are The Cambridge’s Work Shy?
Additionally, royal expert Daniela Elser thinks that the Cambridge’s may be taking too much time off overall. She wrote for news.com.au, “It’s time for the Cambridges to give up this royal perk. They can’t have their nearly 100 days of holiday per year and still try to sell themselves as the Duke and Duchess of Relatability.”
Daniela added, “There’s no way around it: William and Kate have a holiday problem. At issue here is that just because they can take months of the year off and that traditionally members of the royal family have, does not mean they should.”
She went on to say, “The Duke and Duchess can take vast swathes of time off whenever they fancy because they have complete control over their schedules, aside from key events like Trooping the Colour and Remembrance Day, meaning they can spend a week on the beach, even if it is in the Cornish Isles of Scilly, rather than at their 19th-century mahogany desks whenever the mood strikes.”
Still, they have a long way to go before their popularity plummets to the depths of other royals such as Andrew, Harry and Meghan who consistently rank at the bottom of YouGov approval polls.
