The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have jetted away for a family summer holiday, it has been revealed. Prince William and Kate have returned to one of their favourite destinations of Mustique for a relaxing break with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, according to The Sun.

Lucky Prince George will celebrate his sixth birthday on the exclusive Caribbean island on Monday, marking the second birthday in a row he has spent there. It has become a favourite holiday destination of Prince William and Kate’s, due to the privacy it allows them to spend time with their three young children.

They will make an exception on Friday 9 August though, to host The King's Cup sailing regatta in Cowes in support of their patronages. William and Kate will each skipper two of the individual sailboats in the eight-boat race. The royals are both keen sailors, with the Duchess even crewing a yacht on a round-the-world trip during her gap year. The winning team will be awarded the historic trophy The King's Cup, first presented by King George V in 1920.
