Duchess of Cambridge did not travel with family to visit Queen in Scotland

It was announced earlier today that Queen Elizabeth II is currently undergoing medical supervision at the Balmoral Castle in Scotland, after doctors voiced concern for her health.

After 70 years on the throne, worries about the Queen's health have only worsened in the last few hours, as fears that her mobility and health may be decreasing, reports the Mirror. The Royal Family have all made the journey to Scotland to be by the Queen's side - apart from one member.

Prince Charles, Camilla, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Prince William have all rushed up north to see their ill relative - but Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has not made the journey. However, the Duchess has a good reason for not heading up straight away.

This is because her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, all have their first day of school today, so the mum has remained at home in Windsor. In a statement Kensington Palace said: "The Duchess of Cambridge has remained in Windsor as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are on their first full day at their new school."

The children all attended their first day of school at the prestigious Lambrook school in Berkshire - which costs more than £53,000 annually for the entire family. The school's headmaster Jonathan Perry met the Royal clan at the entrance of the school, stepping forward to greet them.

The Duchess, who appeared to know Mr Perry and his wife well after the long process of choosing the right school, greeted them like an old friend, saying: "Nice to see you, Mr Perry!"

So the Duchess will remain in Windsor with her and Prince Williams children, as the rest of the family visit the Queen in Scotland.
