Prince William’s Love of Family Travel “Has Been Shaped” by Princess Diana’s Death

With U.K. schools on break and Mother’s Day to celebrate, Prince William and Princess Kate are enjoying some time off with their three children. While they typically head to their Norfolk retreat, Anmer Hall, the family is also known to enjoy more far-flung vacations to Mustique, where the Waleses recently escaped for a luxe vacation during the half-term school holiday in January. Former royal gardener Jack Stooks has opened up about Prince William’s travel philosophy—and how he’s gone against The King’s example.

Speaking on behalf of JeffBet, Stooks—who spent more than 20 years as a senior gardener at Highgrove House for King Charles—said the Prince of Wales “understands his duty but also wants to make sure his family comes first. That’s why things like holidays are important for him.”
