Prince William, wife Princess Kate and their three children have reportedly jetted off to Mustique to spend the half-term break.

The couple have ditched the gloomy UK weather for a spot of sunshine in the Caribbean. It meant William, 42, and Kate missed the BAFTAs ceremony on Sunday (February 16). Prince William pre-recorded a message for the ceremony instead.

Along with their three kids, the Prince and Princess of Wales, 43, are spending some quality family time together on  a sun-soaked getaway.

Prince William and Kate ‘fly to Mustique’ with children on half-term break

Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, are on a break from Lambrook School.

According to the Mail on Sunday, the family flew business class together on a British Airways flight to Saint Lucia.

A source reportedly said they then took a private flight to Mustique – a popular island destination with celebrities.

It’s also thought that Kate’s mother Carole Middleton is there too.

Carole, who recently turned 70, is thought to have been there for several days before Kate and her family arrived.

It’s unknown where the family is staying. But they’re no strangers to visiting the Caribbean.

William and Kate have visited the Caribbean many times before

The Caribbean is a popular holiday destination for Prince William and Kate. They previously visited Mustique in 2019 during Prince George’s sixth birthday.

During this trip, they apparently enjoyed their getaway in a £27,000-a-week villa. Wowzers.

Meanwhile, in 2022, William and Kate enjoyed a trip to the Bahamas as part of their Caribbean tour.

During the tour, the couple also visited the Realms of Belize and Jamaica. The tour was to mark the late Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee.
