The Royal Family, like many across the nation, eagerly anticipate the chance to break away from their usual routines and immerse themselves in breathtaking landscapes and warm weather during the summer months.
Each August, members of the British Royal Family bid adieu to their grand residences, opting instead for a blend of relaxation and exploration within and beyond the UK.
Dubbed the “Cornish Caribbean,” the Isles of Sicily, situated 28 miles off the Cornish shores, showcase some of the most exquisite beaches in the UK.
Among these islands, Tresco stands out as a gem, where the azure sea is a constant backdrop, and the sight of children engaging in beach activities is a common delight.
As part of the Duchy of Cornwall, Tresco has long been a favored retreat for the royals.
Over the years, royal family members, particularly the younger ones, have reveled in the charm of this idyllic staycation spot, with Dolphin House serving as their preferred accommodation.
In 2020, a Royal Family member was spotted cycling around the car-free island, exuding joy as they interacted with the locals.
Nevertheless, a significant aspect of the royal summer tradition unfolds at Balmoral.
The Royal Family tradition of spending a portion of their summer at Balmoral Castle endures.
This, however, presents a missed opportunity for Meghan and Harry’s children, Lilibet and Archie, who have yet to partake in this cherished summer getaway alongside their cousins.
Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle relocated to the US, opportunities for George, Charlotte, and Louis to bond with their Sussex counterparts have been scarce.
An insider disclosed on January 31st, 2022, that Harry is keen for his children to forge stronger ties with the Royal Family but is cautious about bringing them to the UK until it is deemed safe.
This year, the King intends to uphold his mother’s tradition of hosting the Royal Family at Balmoral during the summer.
However, the family’s stay at the expansive 50,000-acre estate in Aberdeenshire is expected to be briefer compared to previous years.
While the castle undergoes redecoration by a close confidant of the King, the grounds, gardens, and exhibitions will remain open to the public until mid-August, narrowing the window for the family’s residence.
A royal source hinted at the family’s imminent presence at the castle during the summer, with ongoing coordination of schedules.
Speculation arose regarding the King’s desire to transform Balmoral into a museum honoring his mother’s legacy.
Yet, for the time being, the Royal Family plans to retain the castle as a private holiday retreat.
In previous years, the family staggered their visits to accommodate each other.
However, this time around, while the King may venture to Birkhall in July, the public access to the castle’s grounds and exhibitions until August 16th indicates a delayed move-in for the Royal Family, likely a week thereafter.
