Prince William and Kate Middleton's first holiday as a family of five

From the birth of Prince Louis to Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding and then the most recent royal christening for their newborn, it’s been a very busy few months for Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Now it appears the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are taking a well-deserved break from official commitments, holidaying in Mustique with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

According to Hello! and royal blogger Tea Time with the Cambridges, the family were spotted arriving in St. Lucia, before boarding a private flight to the private island in the Caribbean.

Kate’s parents have reportedly joined them for their first holiday as a family of five, though the Duchess’ younger sister Pippa Middleton, who is pregnant with her first child, is not on vacation.

Mustique is a holiday favourite for the royals, with the Duke and Duchess having holidayed there in 2012, before Kate took eldest son Prince George there in 2014.

Just a hundred miles west of Barbados, the private island has 100 villas and is a no-fly zone, reports Hello!, allowing for plenty of privacy for the royals as they take a nice break.
