Prince William owns a British 'paradise' island which is just a short hop from the mainland UK which he regularly visits with Kate and their kids, the Mirror reports.
The Isles of Scilly are described as "outstandingly beautiful, uncrowded and unspoiled" on the official tourist board website and are situated not far off the coast of Cornwall, with it being around a one hour plane journey from southwest England.
The tranquil stretch of islands, which are under the Prince of Wales' inheritance as part of the Duchy of Cornwall, are also known for their enchanting botanical gardens and rare micro-climate which allows flora and fauna to grow that you would not typically expect to find in Britain.
However, the peaceful location has not always been a place of relaxation as the Spanish Armada's previously attempted to invade the isles in 1588.
Queen Elizabeth was encouraged to build a fortified garrison on Scilly's main island, St Mary's in case the Spanish saw it as an opportunity for a second attempt.
The fortified castle which stands in the shape of an eight-pointed star still stands guard over the harbour of Hugh Town, St Mary's though today it has been transformed into a popular cosy hotel with Scilly's only invaders now being summer tourists and the October birdwatchers.
The Star Castle boats thick granite walls, ancient beamed ceilings and a dungeon bar and is an ideal base to explore one of Britain's most hidden gems, Devon Live reports.
With around only 5,000 tourist beds, the islands are never too busy, have little traffic and have miles of pristine beaches.
St Mary's is the biggest island and is home to around 1,600 of the isle's total 2,100 permanent residents but it is still only three miles long and a mile across.
It's where Scilly is connected to the rest of the world via plane and in the harbour there are boats available to take tourists and residents to other islands.
The second largest island of Tresco is meanwhile known for its gorgeous botanical gardens which were created by Augustus Smith in the 19th century and his descendant Robert Dorrien Smith now presides over the island.
Inside the gardens, over 20000 plants can be found from more than 80 countries including Monterey pines from California and proteas from South Africa.
The gardens also host figureheads from local shipwrecks as well as an 18-pounder cannon from the warship Association whose loss in 1707 alongside three other ships took hundreds of lives after a navigation error led to the the race to discover a way of measuring longitude.
The Mirror's Peter Fenton visited the islands with his wife and found the islands of Tresco, St Mary's and St Agnes to be wonderful sightseeing opportunities filled with delicious seafood, beers and wines.
The holiday destination was also popular with Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana who often took Prince William and Prince Harry there for summer cycling trips during their childhood.
In more recent times, William's family and A-list celebs like Jude Law are known to have enjoyed the peaceful crime-and-traffic-free isles which Fenton says has the "freshest air and the gentle roar of a sea that is visible from almost everywhere."
