This year could mark a significant departure for the Prince and Princess of Wales, as they contemplate a holiday that would take them far from the UK.

Known for their traditional family holidays, this year, however, may see Prince William, Catherine, and their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—heading to an exotic location well beyond the British Isles.

Although it is unlikely that Princess Catherine’s post-cancer recovery would allow for international travel just yet, royal insiders have hinted that plans could still be in the works.

The 42-year-old royal has been known to spring surprises on her family and the public alike, leaving room for speculation right up until the last moment.

Sources now suggest that Catherine and William may be planning a holiday to Mystique, a private Caribbean island that has long been a favorite getaway for the family.

While the possibility of a holiday in Mystique has been widely speculated, the Palace has demonstrated a surprising degree of agility in recent months. Royal insiders suggest that if Princess Catherine is feeling well enough, the Wales family may well take off to their beloved Caribbean retreat in the coming months.

While royal travel is always meticulously planned, the nature of this potential getaway holds a personal significance for the family. Catherine, known for her down-to-earth persona, has always prioritized her children’s happiness, and a break from the pressures of royal duties could offer the perfect opportunity to bond as a family.
