Prince WilliamandKate Middleton’s children are currently enjoying their fall school break from Lambrook, giving the familyextra timeto make memories this season. The trio will also be out of school on a kid-favorite holiday — Halloween.

WhileGreat British Magreports that trick-or-treating is not as popular in the U.K. as it is in the United States (according to theU.S. Census Bureau, about 72 million kids in America knock on doors for candy annually), Princess Kate has previously taken Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, trick-or-treating.

“For anyone doubting how down to earth William and Kate are … This is Kate with their kids knocking on our door in London trick-or-treating at Halloween,” neighbor Jay Rutland wrote over the photo,Hello!reported. Rutland is married to British heiress Tamara Ecclestone, and the couple resides in the same area as Kensington Palace, where William and Kate were previously based fulltime.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 42, made amajor moveto Windsor in 2022, where they settled into Adelaide Cottage and enrolled their kids at Lambrook. The new chapter was full of firsts, from the first timeliving separatelyfrom nannyMaria Turrion Borralloand the first time George, Charlotte and Louis all attended the same school.

A palace insider previously told PEOPLE that Prince William loves the “normal” routine Princess Kate keeps up for their kids, which stems from a larger philosophy to make their childhoods as normal as possible.

“Those children look pretty happy with life,” the insider said. “A lot of it is the stabilizing normality Kate brings — and that’s how she grew up. William absolutely loves it.”

While George, Charlotte and Louis are growing up royal, their Halloween costumes might be just like everyone else’s. In 2019, Princess Kate was spotted in a Norfolk supermarketshopping for Halloween costumeswith her two eldest children. Local Kathy Whittaker spotted the royal mom browsing the holiday section.

“I didn’t see what she actually bought. The lady that told me she was there had children with her, and she said Kate was asking her children what they were going to be for Halloween,” Whittaker said, according to several U.K. newspapers. “I think she bought some Halloween bits for her kids, but I don’t know what.”

Kate shared a rare glimpse into her family life in aSept. 9 video messagethat she released to announce that she had completed chemotherapy treatment for cancer. The clip showed Kate and William embracing each other and playing with their young children in the outdoors.

“The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant, and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown,” Kate said in the video message.

“This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved,” she added.
