The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children will spend the Easter holidays together at Sandringham as they adjust to Kate’s cancer diagnosis.

William and Kate were spotted leaving their home in Windsor by helicopter on Saturday with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

It is believed they headed to Anmer Hall, their home on the Sandringham Estate, where they will spend Easter privately while Kate recovers.

The future Queen announced on Friday that she had been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatment.  

Kate was originally due to return to her royal duties after the Easter holidays, but following her cancer diagnosis and ongoing treatment, the timeframe now remains uncertain.
