Last year at the Opening Ceremony of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, Prince William spoke about his children starting to build “happy memories” in Scotland.

“It was here in Scotland – twenty years ago this year – that I first met Catherine. Needless to say, the town where you meet your future wife holds a very special place in your heart,” the Duke said in his speech. “George, Charlotte and Louis already know how dear Scotland is to both of us, and they are starting to build their own happy memories here too.”
