Summer is here, and for many of us that means one thing: holiday time! Whether it's an all-inclusive trip to Greece, a luxury vacay to the Maldives or a cosy staycation in Corwall, us Brits certainly make the most of our summer holidays – and that includes Kate Middleton too, who has been on her own fair share of vacations (and working trips) as a royal.
In fact, the Duchess of Cambridge has been on a whopping 31 royal tours, including countries across the globe from Australia to Jamaica, Singapore and Sweden. And it's not just during summertime that Kate gets to jet off, as her duties see her globe-trotting all year round. The lucky thing!
With that in mind – and as we're in need of some holiday inspiration – we took a deep-dive into all the places Kate has travelled as a royal. So, buckle up and prepare for take off...
