Prince William and Kate Middleton took then-baby George with them when they went on a three-week tour of Australia, but they’ve opted to leave Prince George and baby Princess Charlotte at home while they go to India and Bhutan for a week. That makes sense: they’ll only be gone for seven days. Yet William and Kate are preparing their children for their absence. It’ll be the longest both of them have been away for the kids.

The kids’ nanny, Maria Turrion Borrallo, will be at home with the kids. Sarah Dixon, a maternity nurse who has worked with friends’ of William and Kate, said:
It’s often harder on the parents than it is on the children.”
That’s the truth! George and Charlotte are used to Maria, so I bet it won’t be too jarring for them. It’s Kate and William who will realize they’re apart and how long they’ll be gone.

Sara added:
They will keep in touch with Skype, and I’m sure Maria will do a diary for them while they are away with pictures and photos, any moments they might have missed. She will know that while they are away, the parents need extra reassurance.”
The fact that George attends preschool will likely help him with the separation as well.
He will have been gaining independence, saying goodbye to his parents while knowing they are becoming back every day. And that prevents anxiety.”
Sarah, however, suspects Kate may find the trip especially difficult.
I think Kate will find it quite hard. It’s the first time she has left Charlotte, and at that age they are doing new things every day. That’s often very difficult for parents because they feel they have missed out on certain milestones.”
Hopefully Charlotte won’t do anything major, like take her first steps, while her parents are away! Every working mother feels Kate’s pain. Everyone will be okay in the end, though, I’m sure :).
