Connecting with nature at Red Sea becomes the family’s favourite activity in Saudi. During their time there, Georgina notices how her children are becoming more aware of their parents’ fame. “They’re starting to realize that we’re not just like everyone else,” she says, referring to how life in the public eye is beginning to shape their children’s understanding of the world. However, she ensures that Saudi offers them a place to still enjoy the simple pleasures of life, like spending quality family time by the water.
