King Charles is a fan of holidays in further flung destinations and closer to home affiliates
As monarch, King Charles’ schedule is bursting with royal engagements. From hosting heads of state to meeting representatives of different charities and organisations, no two days for His Majesty ever look the same.
Corfu, Greece This Greek island is close to the hearts of King Charles and Queen Camilla – and for good reason. It’s the birthplace of the King’s father, the late Prince Philip, who at just 18 months old left the island in a cot made from an orange box after the Greek royal family was exiled in 1922.
Tresco, Isles of Scilly With tropical vegetation, turquoise waters and white sandy beaches, the “Cornish Caribbean”, as the five inhabited Isles of Scilly are known, is a firm favourite of the monarch. The isle of Tresco belongs to the Duchy of Cornwall and the King stays at Dolphin House, a large old granite rectory with spectacular views of the coastline.
In his younger years, the monarch often invited friends on ski trips and was once pictured wearing a fake nose, moustache and glasses to tease the press. The Bannau Brycheiniog National Park provides plenty of walks and hiking trails, while activities including clay pigeon shooting and horse riding can be arranged – indulging the King’s passion for country sports.
