Royal holiday homes: see where the Queen, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Prince Charles and other royals spend their holidays
July 20, 2022 - 12:12 BST Chloe Best The royal family are lucky enough to own several lavish residences across the UK, including their own private holiday homes that they visit during their downtime.While the Queen spends summer at Balmoral Castle each year, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge often like to travel further afield with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, with a go-to retreat in Mustique.
Though not exclusively owned by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the pair are known to frequent Villa Antilles, a five-bedroom colonial style abode owned by Prince William's friend Andrew Dunn. According to The Sun, it costs a whopping £27,000 per week and boasts a 60ft infinity pool, private staff and stunning sea views out to the neighbouring islands of Bequia and Saint Vincent.
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall also enjoy spending their summer holidays on the Balmoral estate, where they stay at their 18th century property, Birkhall. The Prince of Wales inherited Birkhall from his grandmother when she died in 2002, and he and Camilla even spent their honeymoon there in 2005, so no doubt have fond memories of the home. The royal couple stayed at the property for much of the coronavirus lockdown, after Prince Charles contracted COVID-19 in March 2020.
Sandringham is the Queen's country estate, where she visits for the Christmas holidays each year. The house has been the private home to four generations of sovereigns since 1862, and was inherited by the Queen in 1952. Her Majesty travels to Sandringham shortly before Christmas, and stays there until February every year, after privately marking the anniversary of her father's death.
