Prince George did not travel with the Duchess of Cambridge

The Cambridges are heading to Balmoral for the last weeks of August, the Queen's idyllic residence in the Scottish Highlands. It's been a royal tradition for a number of decades for the royal family to spend the holidays there since Queen Victoria acquired the estate, and Her Majesty has followed suit, visiting as a young Princess, a young mother and then as a monarch.

The beautiful estate spans around 50,000 acres, boasting a breathtaking landscape of mountains, rivers, lochs, woodland and gardens – so it's no wonder members of the royal family love to join her with their children in August.
