Prince William has taken his family on a staycation to the Isles of Scilly, where he enjoyed holidays as a boy with brother Harry and parents Charles and Diana.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge said hello to locals as they cycled across the stunning island of Tresco today.

They decided against a foreign break with George, seven, Charlotte, five, and Louis, two, amid the coronavirus crisis.

Sources said a potential need to quarantine if visiting Europe would have hampered their return to work.

William was pictured as a boy visiting Scilly in June 1989 wearing shorts and a red jumper on a bike ride with his family.

And rumours spread after their 2011 wedding that he and Kate flew to the destination off the coast of Cornwall.



The couple, both 38, visited in 2016 – when William reminisced about his trip as a seven-year-old lad.

A holidaymaker today said: “William and Kate were riding their bicycles, having a laugh. They looked so happy enjoying the weather.


I did do a double take. They were really friendly and said hello.”

The Cambridges have been staying at their Anmer Hall home in Norfolk.

A source said: “They decided on a quick getaway before the children return to school. They were keen to support our travel industry.”

The family are expected to return to Norfolk on Friday.

What do you do when faced with bad publicity re: your racist comments and exposure in a book?

You pack up the broodmare and kids and take off for vacay during a pandemic, and desperately try to reclaim the goodwill by copying your dead mother down to the activity she was doing on the island! 'Pap' pics imminent!

If this were Harry and Meghan the media would be outraged, calling them irresponsible. Very interesting to see the difference in coverage.

There aren't any paps in the UK and royals never get their photos taken because they the paps respect their privacy.

Please don't search for evidence to refute this I will save you the trouble because noNE eXiSTs.

Probably, but then Megs and Harry have been doing SFA being non working royals and all, the Cambridge’s have been out and about working as well as their Zoom meetings.
As mentioned in the article, they are supporting the local tourism industry, and being green at it as well.

Do they know a staycation is staying at home?????

And not on islands across the country??? Literally, I looked up Amner (in Kings Lynch, Norfolk) all the way to Scilly and they is literally on opposite ends of the country!

Even if the Royals don't know that a staycation means staying at home, the reporters should know better than using that word during a high moment of unemployment.

I feel like the UK tabs are being passive aggressive with these articles...they seem polite but they are written in a way for the British public to want to throw proverbial fruit...

Staycation?

Yes, taking the kids on a private jet for ~ 350 miles one way sure is a staycation. :rolleyes:

But hey, let's ignore the fact that parts of the country are back under a second lockdown - or will be soon. :sneaky:

Your first paragraph aptly describes his brother. Trauma seems to have confused you.

The UK is filled with idiots, royals basically keeping money (tax money) in their pockets and I bet families will be ready to pack up and give this place a visit. We know who the end beneficiary is

Royals: 1
Public: - £2.4M

I think as part of Earthshot they'll post the family enjoying their time and promote local travel, nevermind years of travelling to Mustique in private jet. They'll be lauded for choosing the UK (mind you travel outside of the UK isn't encouraged unless necessary). We will see side by sides of a young William and George, they are so boring.

Yikes. There were so many UK influencers who have been traveling all the way to Spain, France etc, as if all the borders were open to them.

I’ve seen sooo many traveling! And I’m just confused as hell. Feels like we’re living through totally different pandemics.

It’s very telling how certain people aren’t in here with the faux outrage

It's because no Black, Biracial, Asian or Hispanic was involved, in this vacation story. As long as,no minorities were flying on that helicopter, their fine with Cambridge's wasting tax payer funds. And doing bare minimum Zoom calls :LOL:

Threads on the Cambridge's hypocrisy are like...

It's almost as if certain fonts have an issue with only...cough...the biracial royal family member...cough :whistle:

My friend in the UK has steady been posting and I see them having backyard shindigs, picking up their daughter from the last days of daycare, hanging out at the beach and I'm like

Funny thing though she wants to visit her mum in Canada but if they do they have to quarantine for 14 days so they are trying to find a cottage. Not an easy thing to do during the summer.

Rah. So this woman who has been running around having a kiki in the country with the 3rd highest death rate can fly into Canada (I'm assuming she has a passport or permanent residency) but the Canadian government told international students that they had to pay 4x the amount of tuition as domestic students and they still can't come in?!?

Listen. If she wants to have a nice time in a cottage, I suggest that she follow the lead of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and do a "staycation." I mean she can go across England, Scotland, and Wales-- It's all within the UK so all a staycation.

Weird how the Cambridges are keen to copy Charles and Diana's toxic, failed marriage. Weren't they both having affairs by 1989, and Diana already plotting her revenge (that culminated in her book with Andrew Morton)?

Keen = dead giveaway it's a British writer or the content was copied from one. It's a word, but not used nearly as much here.

Every time they say "keen" in regards to Will and Kate, I'm going to take a table spoon of ice cream from the fridge.

According to the Brits over at Celebitchy, staycation in the UK means holidaying within the UK-- which to me just sounds like the UK implicitly recognizing that they spend so much time squatting in other people's countries (and being rude on top of it) that they consider being in their own country less special.
