Prince William and Princess Kate, the proud parents of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are taking advantage of the half-term break to spend quality time together as a family.

With no school commitments at Lambrook School, what will the Wales children be up to?

Well, it seems that the royal couple has already made plans for their summer break.

Known for their love of escaping to idyllic destinations, William and Kate have a special place they retreat to, just an hour’s flight away from mainland UK.

They are the proud owners of a tranquil island located off the coast of southwest England, in the Isles of Scilly.

This archipelago is famous for its subtropical plants, breathtaking scenery, and uncrowded beaches.

The Isles of Scilly, particularly the island of Tresco, have become a favorite holiday destination for the royal family.

In recent years, the Welses have visited Tresco twice for family breaks, once in 2020 and again in 2021.

Since inheriting the Duchy of Cornwall, Prince William now owns the Isles and has been seen enjoying bike rides and interacting with locals alongside his wife and children.

A vacationer who spotted the royals on the island described them as a normal family on holiday, preferring to keep to themselves.

The accommodations where they stayed were modest, far from extravagant.

While some may wonder about the weather in more exotic locations like California, the royals seem to prefer holidaying in Britain.

Tresco holds fond memories for William, as he had previously visited the island with his parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, and his brother, Prince Harry, in 1989.

A photograph from that trip shows a young William, aged 7, preparing for a bike ride with his family, with Diana standing behind him in a fuchsia jumper.

In 2016, William returned to Tresco with Kate, and they were photographed boarding a boat to St Martins after exploring the Tresco Abbey Garden.

Last July, the royal family decided to take a quick getaway to the Isles of Scilly before George and Charlotte returned to school.

They were determined to support the local travel industry.

Alongside their summer holiday in 2020, the family also returned in October and stayed in a modest four-bedroom stone cottage.

During their visit, the Duke and Duchess were warmly welcomed by Mrs. Perkins and other residents of St Martins Island.

The picturesque island, with its crystal blue waters and silver sandy beaches, provided a stunning backdrop for their arrival.

Despite initial foggy weather delaying their helicopter, it eventually cleared up, revealing brilliant summer sunshine and blue skies.

Arriving on the rocky outcrop by boat, William and Kate strolled along the main road, a charming country lane adorned with pretty cottages and hedgerows.

The Isles of Scilly, with only 5,000 tourist beds available, offer privacy and tranquility, making them popular among the royal family and celebrities alike.

The islands have a total population of 2,100 permanent residents, with the majority residing on St Mary’s, the largest island.

Access to the Isles of Scilly is limited to boats or planes, and travel between the islands is typically done via small ferries or boats.

Tresco, the second largest island in the archipelago, boasts stunning subtropical botanical gardens established in the 19th century by August Smith.

It comes as no surprise that Scilly Island has been ranked as one of the top holiday destinations by Igloo Cruise, with the late Queen’s beloved Balmoral in the Scottish Highlands taking the first spot on the list.

In conclusion, Prince William and Princess Kate are making the most of their family time during the half-term break.

Their choice to visit the Isles of Scilly, particularly Tresco, showcases their love for secluded and beautiful locations.
