When it comes to vacation destinations, members of the Royal Family need to consider options a bit more carefully than the average person. Privacy and security play a huge role in where to take a holiday, as Prince William and Kate Middleton know all too well. With the couple having recently traded their BAFTAs formalwear for swimsuits on the island of Mustique, some royal beach getaways of old have come to mind—and Princess Diana had a different destination she came to love.
Mustique has been a favorite royal destination for decades—just ask Princess Margaret—and the Middleton family even hosted matriarch Carole's 70th birthday party at the late princess's $46,000-per-week island villa, Les Jolies Eaux. However, Princess Diana preferred a different Caribbean island for some of her own family escapes.
