Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, have already departed for their summer holiday with George, Charlotte, and Louis as they return to a favourite overseas destination. Prince George, who will turn sixth next Monday, will have the luxury of celebrating on an exclusive Caribbean island. Mustique is a small private island in the Caribbean archipelago nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

There is a strict no fly zone of the Mustique meaning George will be able to celebrate his birthday without any unwanted media attention.

A favourite of William and Kate, the island will also give the family the opportunity to celebrate George’s birthday without needing to worry about the strict traditions of royal life.

The website for the destination states: “There are no rules on Mustique, no protocols or expectations. Guests can simply do as they wish.”

And lucky Prince George can choose to spend his birthday enjoying a large range of activities on the island – from playing with his siblings in the luxury pool, to riding hoses along the beach or even snorkelling with turtles.

Next week is not the first time the third in line to the throne will have celebrated his birthday on Mustique, with Kate and William taking their children to the private island at the same time last year too.

The Caribbean location has become a firm holiday favourite with William and Kate over the years and they have travelled to the island on multiple occasions.

As well as taking their three children to relax there, the Duke and Duchess have also holidayed with Carole and Michael Middleton and siblings Pippa and James at Mustique.

A Royal source confirmed to The Sun the island was popular with Kate and William due to being “incredibly private and incredibly discreet”.

The source added: “It’s about as close as they can come to without going to total wilderness as they did on their honeymoon when they went to an island in the middle of nowhere.

“To go to a place with two bars and a few other people, and not feel totally isolated Mustique is perfect.”

The trip to the Caribbean marks the start of the Cambridge’s summer break, with William and Kate taking time out between now and September.

The pair are due to only attend one royal engagement in that time.

On Friday, August 9 Kate and William are scheduled to host The King’s Cup sailing regatta in Cowes.

The eight boats taking part in the historic trophy will each represent a charity being supported by the Duke and Duchess.

The four charities William represents that will make an appearance at the regatta are: Child Bereavement UK, Centrepoint, the London Air Ambulance Charity 30th Anniversary Campaign, and Tusk.

Representing Kate are: Action on Addiction, Place2Be, the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, and The Royal Foundation in connection with the Duchess’s work on Early Years.
