Kate and William's favourite holiday destination - even their bodyguards love it
Prince William and Kate are celebrating the start of the six week holidays as Brits flock overseas and across the country.
With the summer fun finally here, the Cambridges will likely take a trip to Balmoral Estate as well as enjoy a separate getaway.
Over the years, the royals have been spotted off the coast of Cornwall, at what is believed to be their favourite destination, the Isles of Scilly.
Prince George, who is set to turn 10 on Saturday, spent his last birthday on Tresco, which is the second biggest island of the archipelago.
Locals couldn't believe their luck when they spotted the family strolling on the privately owned island.

An onlooker told the Mail on Sunday in 2020 that they saw the royals had a perfect trip as they looked both happy and relaxed when heading home.
The local said: "William and Kate were both smiling widely and looked really happy and relaxed. Their bodyguards had big smiles too — it was clear to see that it had been a really good holiday."
The family of five have reportedly stayed at Dolphin House, the six-bedroom cottage which costs upward of £4,000 to rent for the week.

Visitors can also kick back at the Tresco Island Spa, and it's likely the Prince and Princess of Wales, who often play tennis together would make the most of the court.
A representative said: "The island boasts indoor and outdoor swimming pools with spa facilities, a full range of luxury treatments, tennis courts and two gyms. All guests staying on Tresco enjoy access to the spa facilities."
Another resident who lives on the Isles of Scilly also told the Mail that the Royal Family can expect to be granted a great deal of privacy when on the island, particularly when staying at Dolphin House.

They said: "Dolphin House really is an idyllic and modest holiday home for families. Kate, William and the children certainly will have made the most of how peaceful it is there, and the island's residents made sure to leave them alone and not disturb their trip."

Those on Tresco are used to the odd famous face as A-Listers such as Jude Law have visited the exclusive island in the past.
William inherited the island last year when he took on his father’s title and the Duchy of Cornwall along with it.
Although it is part of the heir’s estate, the island, which is some two and a half miles long by a mile wide, is leased to businessman and politician Robert Dorrien-Smith and his wife Lucy.
But his visit with his family in 2020 was not his first time on the island as he was taken by Princess Diana and King Charles with his little brother Prince Harry in 1989.
