Kate Middleton and Prince William have spent the past three weeks completely off the grid after appearing at their last engagement, the Euro 2020 Final soccer game, on July 11. Where in the world have they been? Hello! revealed today that the couple actually quietly took a vacation with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. They didn't go abroad this time. The outlet reports the Cambridges spent time in the Isles of Scilly in Cornwall.
Kate, William, and the kids went there last year too, Hello! noted. The family was seen biking on Tresco Island, the only one of the five inhabited islands, the outlet pointed out, that's privately owned. This year, Hello! didn't specify which of the islands the Cambridges stayed on or how long their trip was.
The Isles of Scilly are reachable by air (by aircraft or helicopter) and ferry. From Kensington Palace, where the couple's official residence is, to the ferry station, Penzance Terminal, it's a five hour and 16 minute drive, for a sense of how far the islands are from London. It's also possible to get to the island by private plane or yacht, the Isles of Scilly's tourism site says, writing, “Both the St. Mary's Harbour Master's Office and Isles of Scilly Airport welcome independent travelers to the islands and will assist you with your plans before you depart and also on your arrival.”
What do the Isles look like? Beachy and picturesque. This is the kind of scenery the Cambridges took in:
