Prince William is reportedly planning a romantic getaway for his wife, Kate Middleton, in the southwest of England after a tough year for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The year 2024 has seen both Kate battling an undisclosed form of cancer and King Charles undergoing treatment for the same disease.
This makes this Christmas especially meaningful as the royal couple cherishes their time with loved ones. A source told Bella magazine that William “wants to create memories with Kate so he’s planning a romantic getaway to the Isles of Scilly – one of their favorite places to escape for some quiet time together.
As 2024 comes to an end, a year which saw William deeply involved in his charitable work, caring for Kate and his father, and meeting president-elect Donald Trump, more details about his plans for Kate this Christmas have emerged. The insider revealed: “Kate’s family will be a big part of the celebrations, too.”
They always are but this year William is coordinating with them so that Kate will have her whole family with her for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.”
These Christmas plans and the rumored 2025 romantic trip to the Isles of Scilly, just off the coast of Cornwall, come as Kate continues her recovery from cancer treatment, according to the Express, reports the Mirror.
The romantic retreat selected by Prince William is an archipelago nestled in the Celtic Sea, home to a mere 2,203 residents. This number sees a slight increase when William and Kate make their appearance, visiting their vacation residence owned by the Duchy of Cornwall.
The four-bedroom property, known as Tamarisk House, is situated on the largest of the Isles of Scilly’s islands, St Mary’s, and is even available for public rental, according to The Mirror. The Isles of Scilly tourism website describes St. Mary’s as “an easy going safe haven of hidden treasures. 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.
Apart from his visits to the Isles of Scilly, William has been occupied with various activities and trips. He was recently spotted conversing with Trump following the re-opening of Notre Dame, although the content of their discussion remains unknown.
