Inside Prince George’s most luxurious birthday celebration on private island

On Monday, July 22, Prince George, the son of the Prince and Princess of Wales, will turn eleven. Throughout the years, the young man has celebrated his birthday in traditional royal fashion.

George received an especially wonderful birthday present in 2019, even though Prince William and Kate have hosted gatherings for their oldest child and their closest relatives and friends at their homes.

 

When the Prince’s birthday fell on a family holiday, he really celebrated turning six in lavish fashion.

The Waleses used to regularly vacation on the Caribbean island of Mustique, but William, Kate, and their three kids have preferred staycations on the Isles of Scilly off the Cornish coast and Jordan in the Middle East.

In 2019, George turned six years old, and the royal family reportedly celebrated by renting an opulent villa for £27,000 a week. William and Kate even made an official photo of the young Prince during their vacation public.

Owned by Andrew Dunn, a friend of William’s, the magnificent four-bedroom Villa Antilles features a 60-foot infinity pool, a jacuzzi, private staff, and breathtaking views of the surrounding islands of Bequia and Saint Vincent.

 

 

A children’s room is furnished with two bunk beds surrounded by wall murals of whales and other nautical accents.

There is a strict no-fly zone on the island, giving visitors and locals total seclusion.

Carole and Michael Middleton, the princess’s parents, also accompanied William and Kate on their family vacation.

Princess Margaret’s love of Mustique

Given the royal family’s ties to Mustique, it should come as no surprise that the couple adores the island.

Princess Margaret, the late sister of Queen Elizabeth II, frequently paid visits. Margaret received a piece of land on Mustique, where her husband, Lord Glenconner, the husband of her lady-in-waiting Lady Anne Glenconner, built a five-bedroom villa she named Les Jolies Eaux (Beautiful Waters).

Following the dissolution of Margaret’s marriage to photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones, Mustique emerged as the royal’s haven, providing her with a haven from the spotlight.

 

 

As a wedding gift in 1996, the Princess gave the land to her son David Linley, who is currently the 2nd Earl Snowdon. Afterwards, he sold the villa to American businessman Jim Murray in 1999 for a sum of £2.4 million.

Currently available for rent at approximately £25,500 per week, the five-bedroom villa with a view of the Caribbean Sea is situated on the southernmost point of Mustique.
