Prince William has “set the wheels in motion” to surprise Princess Kate with a bold move, a royal source has claimed.
The Prince of Wales, who recently described this year as the “hardest” of his life, is reportedly determined to treat the Princess of Wales to a romantic trip in the new year.
A source claimed: “The last year has left them closer than ever. The foundations of their marriage are impregnable and the hardship of this year has brought making time for one another so very, very important.
“William is ever the romantic – Kate values their alone time, nothing is more special than having her prince to herself.

“So he’s planning a romantic getaway – just the two of them – William has set the wheels in motion to whisk Kate away.
“And those close to them wouldn’t be surprised if the royal couple took this time out to reaffirm their wedding vows in a private blessing.”
They added: “This has been a tough year for Kate and Wills and a complete emotional roller coaster.
“He’s confided to friends that everything has been thrown in their path, but he is proud of how they have weathered the storm.

“However, he has watched on as Kate has had to operate on autopilot this year to put on a normal show for the children and to get by – so an MOT for the soul is much needed for them both to reconnect.”
The source continued to tell Closer: “They want to go somewhere secluded – William has employed a trusted family friend in assisting with this very special private getaway to a place of extreme importance – Africa and the wildlife reserves are a love for them both. To have their wedding blessed there after 14 years would be really special.”
The insider claimed: “They have both taken this year fully in their stride but it has been incredibly hard.
“Now, after battening down the hatches to emerge stronger, they are more thankful than ever before for their love and their children.”
In September, Kate announced she had completed her course of preventative chemotherapy.
The Princess of Wales has made just seven appearances in 2024 amid her cancer battle.
She is expected to join Prince William, as well as the King and Queen, for Christmas at Sandringham this year.
