Prince William has been spotted in France enjoying a ski holiday with his friends and pals while Kate Middleton was left on their home with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. With that, it looks like the Duke spent some rare downtime away from his family.

Prince William spent a weekend holiday on the slopes in Verbier with his close pals which included Guy Pelly, Prince George's godfather. Because of this, the Duke has been absent from the celebration of the Britain's Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey last Monday.

The Duke of Cambridge only jetted home just this weekend on Sunday and the Kensington Palace released a statement that it was part of Prince William's private schedule and will not offer further comment on it. Kate Middleton's husband was seen in the exclusive ski region enjoying drinks with his pals until the wee hours of the morning at a nightclub as per Independent News.

Before that party, he was spotted making new friends which included Australian model Sophie Taylor. She later joined Prince William's friends later that night at Farinet where her boyfriend Aaron Goodfellow also is working. Meanwhile, Kate Middleton was also missing from the occasion yesterday and from the event at the Westminster Abbey. Prince Harry attended the said occasion together with Prince Charles and Camilla alongside Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth.

As of now, Prince William and Kate Middleton are residing in their palatial Anmer Hall home in Norfolk together with their children, George and Charlotte. However, reports were claiming that the royal couple is planning to move to London full-time. In fact, there were reports suggesting that the royal couple is planning an extension at Kensington Palace as per Yahoo.

It has been reported too that Prince William and Kate Middleton will be visiting Paris this weekend and will be arriving there this Friday. This trip will be surely emotional for the prince as this happens five months prior to the death anniversary of his mother, Princess Diana.

It will be the first time Prince William will be visiting the place since the death of his mother there last 1997. During their stay, William and Kate Middleton will attend eight engagements.
