Princess Kate and Prince William plan to take a “romantic getaway” to a Cornish island after an “incredibly tough” year for the family, a royal insider has claimed.
One insider told Bella that Prince William “wants to create memories with Kate, so he’s planning a romantic getaway to the Isles of Scilly – one of their favourite places to escape for some quiet time together”.
The Island, 28 miles off the coast of mainland Cornwall, is a familiar spot for the Prince of Wales, with the father-of-three visiting the region in May for the first time since becoming the Duke of Cornwall in 2022.
The royals will reportedly stay in their four-bedroom holiday home, Tamarisk House, on St Mary’s, the largest of the five inhabited Scilly islands.

The island, which covers more than six square miles and is accommodate for 1,600 residents, has shops, churches, a post office, cafés, galleries, restaurants and pubs for the royals to enjoy.
“The Isles of Scilly offer a certain quality of life – simpler, kinder and more peaceful”, the region’s tourism website has said.
“Scilly also boasts an incredible ancient history and archaeology, alongside sweeping sea views and rugged undeveloped coasts.
“Out at sea, there are incredible shipwrecks and amazing wildlife.”

The Isles of Scilly tourism website describes the island of St Mary’s as an “easygoing safe haven of hidden treasures”.
They added: “The coastline features large stretches of deserted white sandy beaches, dramatic rocky coves, stunning seascapes, amazing archaeological sites, beautiful walks and scenery along miles of coastal and country paths and nature trails.”
During his last visit to St Mary’s, Prince William met representatives from local businesses on the harbourfront and visited St Mary’s Medical Centre.
