Prince George, Princess Charlotte & Prince Louis Are Reportedly Focusing on One Thing as They Wrap up Summer
School is already back in session for many families in the U.S., but across the pond, kids still have a few weeks left of summer. And Prince William and Kate Middleton's three kids are taking full advantage of it. Royal kids Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, are heading to Balmoral in Scotland with their family, as is royal tradition, and they will reportedly be focused on one thing during their stay. According to insiders, the royal kids are going to spend as much time in nature as they can. According to Hello!, Balmoral is a huge baronial-style castle with 53,000 acres of forest, farmland and moor, which has enticed royals sense Prince Albert bought it for Queen Victoria in 1852. The late Queen Elizabeth II loved visiting here, and the Waleses are carrying on the tradition with their own kids. According to the outlet, the kids are expected to take nature walks with the King (known as 'Grandpa Wales'), go on pony rides, go on deer stalking and fishing trips, and more. More from SheKnows Experts Say Princess Charlotte & Prince Louis's Playful Public Behavior Reveals One Key Detail About Their Home Life 'My childhood was full of holidays having fun in the fresh air, swimming in lochs, family barbecues with my grandfather in command – and, yes, the odd midge,' William previously said, per Hello! 'George, Charlotte and Louis are already aware of how dear Scotland is to both of us, and they're beginning to create their own cherished memories there, too.' Middleton loves spending time in the sun as well. She recently did a voiceover highlighting beautiful nature areas in Britain, which was posted to Instagram. She says in the clip, 'As we bask in the sunlit hours, friends and families come together; playing, connecting, being present – embracing the joy to be found in even the most fleeting of moments and shared experiences.' We can imagine that's exactly what happens at Balmoral when the royals can enjoy time off the grid for a while. Middleton captioned the video, 'Our lives flourish when we cherish the bonds of love and friendship. It has never been more important to appreciate the value of one another, and of Mother Nature. Here's to Summer. C.' Last summer, royal expert Jennie Bond told OK! that the last few weeks of summer are all about family. 'Just like in the late queen's reign, time at Balmoral is family time,' she said. 'And, if the King gets the chance, he will relish the chance to hang out with his grandchildren by reading them stories, teaching them about the wildlife around them, playing cards, and enjoying picnics … weather permitting!' Bond added, 'The summer stay up there has always been a time primarily for family for a gathering in the peace of the Scottish countryside after the busyness and noise of their working lives in London and elsewhere. It's a 'breathe, relax, and be still' kind of place, and that's what they all love about it.' It truly sounds like an idyllic, private getaway that generations of royals have enjoyed over the years. We know Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis will have a blast running around in the fresh air, getting dirty, and having fun without the eyes of the world upon them for a few weeks, and we couldn't be more excited for of SheKnows Birthday Freebies for Kids: 25+ Places That'll Make Their Big Day Extra Sweet These Raw & Beautiful Breastfeeding Photos Show There's No 'Right' Way to Nurse 'But I Hate School': What To Do When Your Teen Dreads Going Back Solve the daily Crossword

Netflix Has Renewed 'Dept Q' For Season 2 — These Are The 4 Characters That Will Be Returning
The basement dwellers of Edinburgh's police force are getting another shot at glory. Netflix has officially green-lit a second season of Dept. Q, the darkly comic crime procedural that proved audiences have an insatiable appetite for maverick detectives and unsolvable cases. Based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's bestselling novels, the series struck gold with its unique blend of Scottish atmosphere and twisted storytelling. The renewal comes on the heels of remarkable success for the debut season, which spent an impressive six weeks climbing Netflix's Global Top 10 charts as viewers worldwide became obsessed with the complex psychological puzzles at the heart of the show. Writer-director Scott Frank, the creative mastermind behind the adaptation, will return to helm the second season with his characteristic blend of wit and darkness. Frank's vision transformed Adler-Olsen's Danish detective stories into a distinctly Scottish noir, capturing Edinburgh's moody atmosphere while maintaining the source material's psychological depth. 'I'm grateful to the folks at Netflix, as well as our shining cast and crew, for once more risking their careers to enable my folly,' Frank said in an official statement. Matthew Goode will return as the brilliantly flawed DCI Carl Morck, leading his ragtag team of investigative outcasts back into the shadows of Edinburgh's most baffling cold cases. Joining him once again will be Alexej Manvelov's sharp-witted Akram, Leah Byrne's enigmatic Rose, and Jamie Sives' steadfast Hardy – a quartet of misfits who somehow make perfect sense together in the show's basement setting. While plot details remain tightly under wraps, creator Scott Frank has confirmed his intention to adapt Jussi Adler-Olsen's second novel, The Absent One, which centres on 'the brutal double-murder of a brother and sister two decades earlier' where someone is already serving time, but Morck suspects there's more to uncover. Frank described it as 'another cold case and also a current case, at the same time, that they're looking into,' suggesting the dual timeline structure that made the first season so compelling will continue. Meanwhile, Matthew Goode has expressed hopes that viewers will 'see a bit more of what Carl's life is and his home life' including the awkward domestic situation with his stepson and lodger. Most intriguingly, both Goode and breakout star Alexej Manvelov have hinted at exploring Akram's mysterious past more deeply. 'I want to see what it's like back at Akram's house with his daughters,' Goode told Collider, while Manvelov himself has described his character as 'multi-layered, with the backstory we came up with makes him a mystery, but also very human.' Given that season one deliberately left Akram's former profession in Syria and the circumstances of his wife's death suspiciously unexplained, season two seems poised to finally reveal what makes this quietly dangerous man tick.
