This is where Prince William and Kate Middleton are going on a family staycation this year
With Prince George and Princess Charlotte now officially off school for the term, the Cambridge's are free to go on their annual summer holiday. However, due to coronavirus, the royal family are diverting from their normal destination choice for something a little closer to home.
So, instead of Mustique in the Caribbean — an exclusive private island that has become a destination of choice for the young family — the Cambridge's have headed to the Isles of Scilly, where William holidayed as a child with parents Prince Charles and Princess Diana and his brother Prince Harry back in 1989.
The family-of-five have been there for a few days and on Thursday, William and Kate were spotted cycling across the stunning island of Tresco, The Mirror reports.
It's been a short getaway for the family, who are due to return to Norfolk today (31 July), but they would have no doubt had a lovely time, especially with the weather working in their favour.
According to Isles of Scilly's official tourist website, the Isles offer a 'simpler, kinder and more peaceful' quality of life. Sign us up!
There's also plenty of things for the royal children to enjoy as the island, located just off the coast of Cornwall, offers more than 35 stunning beaches and five inhabited islands – St. Mary's, Tresco, St. Martin's, Bryher and St. Agnes, that they can explore using 'tripper' boats.
It would have no doubt been a welcome change for the Cambridges, who have been self-isolating at Anmer Hall in Norfolk since March.
During the past four months, the couple have given us glimpses — both visually and verbally — into their private family life and have confessed, on several occasions, that they have been busy juggling home schooling their eldest children with royal duties via Zoom.
In fact, when William spoke to a charity in Glasgow that provides hot and healthy meals for vulnerable families, he admitted that he was finding the balancing act difficult at times.
His confession came while Charlie Farrally, community chef, gave the duke a virtual tour of their food van and said: 'You’ll know yourself, the hardest time is dinner time.'
The father-of-three laughed and replied: 'It depends what’s on the table.
'If parents put something on that children love, dinner time goes very well.
'But if you put something on the table they don’t want to do, that’s another ball game.'
Well, hopefully they're all feeling refreshed after their break.
