Prince William & Kate's top travel
destinations
It
seems like just yesterday I settled down with a cup of tea and a scone
smothered in jam to watch the wedding of Prince William and the former Kate
Middleton live from London, England. It was 5 a.m. and despite the early hour,
thousands in Canada were doing the exact same thing.
Since
their fairy tale wedding on April 29, 2011, Prince William and Catherine, the
new Duchess of Cambridge, have thrilled the world with their common touch, good
looks and genuinely pleasant demeanour.
The
newlywed couple has also participated in a number of official Royal engagements
both at home and far across the globe. As William and Kate prepare to celebrate
their first wedding anniversary, we take a look at the top five travel
destinations of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in their first year of
marriage.
1.
Seychelles: Prince William and Kate honeymooned on the Seychelles’ North Island
in May 2011. The private island has 11 guest villas and the newlyweds
reportedly rented the entire island at a cost of $711,459.36 for a completely
secluded getaway. Here, Wills and Kate enjoyed posh accommodations and exciting
activities like sea kayaking, scuba diving and boating.
2.
Dalvay-by-the-Sea, Prince Edward Island: While the July 2011 Canadian tour of
Prince William and Kate began in Ottawa, it was in Prince Edward Island that
the couple really relaxed and showed off their true personalities during the
events of the day. They joked with each other while competing in a dragon boat
race, embraced Canada’s First Nations culture during a traditional Mi’kmaq
smudging ceremony and devoured lobsters and clams on the beach. Prince William
also captivated the crowds with a helicopter ‘water bird’ landing emergency
exercise.
3.
Skoki Lodge, Banff, Alberta: After making a surprise visit to the wildfire
ravaged town of Slave Lake, Alta., Prince William and Kate boarded a helicopter
and were flown to Banff National Park where they stayed for a night of private
time during their Canadian tour. Skoki Lodge hosted the Royals in their
Riverside Cabin. Wills and Kate ate from the same menu as all guests, choosing
to dine on beef, baked vegetables and B.C. wine. They also went on a private
walk, without security, from their cabin along the local hiking trails.
4.
Los Angeles, California: Prince William and Kate arrived in California from
Canada in July 2011 to promote British trade and investment in the United
States. The highlight of their West Coast trip was the BAFTA Brits to Watch
gala at the historic Belasco Theater. The Duke and Duchess defined glamour at
the event, choosing to dress in a dashing tux and flowing lilac Alexander
McQueen dress, respectively. Celebrity attendees like Jennifer Lopez, Nicole
Kidman and Tom Hanks were left in awe of the stunning Royal couple.
5.
Verbier, Switzerland: After returning from a six week RAF deployment in the
Falkland Islands, Prince William returned to Kate, and England, in March 2012.
He immediately whisked her away on a ski vacation in the posh Swiss resort town
of Verbier. The couple loves to ski and it’s been reported that Kate’s parents,
Carole and Michael, have joined the couple on holiday.
With
Diamond Jubilee visits planned for the young Royals to Malaysia, Singapore, the
Soloman Islands and Tuvalu this year, Prince William and the Duchess of
Cambridge’s world travels are just beginning.
