Known for being pretty private a lot of the time, it’s not often that Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, post anything personal on social media - but royal fans were delighted this week as yesterday, the couple did just that.
In an exciting new update shared to Instagram Stories, the future king and queen consort revealed that they have a fantastic sounding trip in the works and it’s all a part of the Queen’s jubilee celebrations, which will be ongoing throughout the course of the next few months.
Whilst many of us are dreaming of sunnier climes during the current cold snap (and post Storm Eunice), that dream is set to be a reality next month for the Cambridges, as they’ll be jetting off to Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas. It’s alright for some, eh!
In their new statement shared on social media - and signed off personally by the couple, no less - Prince William and Kate Middleton wrote: “We are so excited to visit Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas next month as we mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
They continued on to add, along with each country’s respective flag, “We can’t wait to meet people in all three countries, celebrate local cultures and understand more about innovative work being done across communities.”
The message was signed off with ‘W&C’, which of course stands for ‘William and Catherine’.

The couple aren’t the only royals who are switching their surroundings up this year either, as recently William’s cousin, Princess Eugenie, has been spotted spending time in California - along with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who moved there after stepping down from their senior royal roles. Along with Eugenie's husband, Jack Brooksbank, the princess was recently seen enjoying a dinner out with the Sussexes over in Santa Barbara.
Kate Middleton has also just spent time in Denmark, learning more about child development and having an absolutely first class time at a play centre, where she couldn't help but get stuck in to having a go on a mega slide.
We already can't wait for the photos of this upcoming royal tour!
