Unlike last year’s ‘staycation’ in Cornwall which was dramatically interrupted by the birth of their baby Florence, this one was abroad.
Holding hands in the breathtaking Spanish city of Granada, the couple looked happy to be enjoying one of their first child-free breaks in a long time. The relaxing trip was the British leader’s treat for his wife’s 40th birthday.
