Just days after Meghan Markle gave royal fans a rare glimpse into her family’s European getaway with a heartfelt “Summer Holiday” photo dump, Prince William and Princess Kate seem to have followed in the Duchess’ footsteps as they took to Instagram and shared a nostalgic “Summer Rewind” of their own. Markle’s carousel was candid and casual, featuring beautiful family moments from Portugal and the UK with Prince Harry, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet.
Meanwhile, the Prince and Princess of Wales’ latest Instagram post looks back on the family’s memorable summer through a collection of official photos from their royal engagements and the events that they attended, along with William’s latest podcast appearance.

It was posted with the caption, “The Summer Rewind 🌞⏪Thank you to everyone who has made the last few months so special!”
The Wales' carousel included intimate family portraits and behind-the-scenes images that offered a glimpse into Middleton and William’s life away from royal duties. One of the standout family photographs showed William and Middleton lying on the grass with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, smiling as they enjoyed a relaxed day together.

From presenting the Wimbledon trophy to champion Iga Świątek and trying her hand at making fresh pasta in Italy to attending Royal Ascot in two elegant ensembles, Middleton’s summer was packed with memorable appearances. William’s lighthearted visit to Heart FM and his candid moments with broadcaster Big Zuu were also featured, making the carousel a balanced reflection of the couple’s official commitments and their cherished family milestones.
