With rumors swirling about where our favorite royal newlyweds are heading for their honeymoon, we’re feeling all the royal vacay vibes. If you need inspo for your own fancy trip with your love, here’s where your favorite royals went on their honeymoons.
King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson — Schloss Wasserleonburg Castles, Gailtal, Austria
The most scandalous marriage in recent British history (when King Edward VIII gave up the throne in order to marry American divorcée Wallis Simpson) began with a honeymoon at Schloss Wasserleonburg castles in Gailtal, Austria.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip — Balmoral Castle and Estate, Scotland
The reigning queen and her husband chose to honeymoon at Balmoral Castle and Estate in Scotland, where she still vacations every summer. The castle was purchased by Prince Albert for Queen Victoria, so the royal roots run deep.
Princess Margaret and Antony Charles Robert Armstrong-Jones — Cruising the Caribbean
Princess Margaret (as everyone knows from watching The Crown) had serious style and chose to honeymoon with her photographer husband in the Caribbean, doing a six-week tour of islands like Trinidad and Antigua (two former British colonies).
Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips — Atlantic and Pacific Cruise
Queen Elizabeth’s daughter followed her Aunt Margaret’s lead and also had a sailing honeymoon on the royal yacht Britania, visiting the Caribbean and the Galapagos Islands.
Princess Diana and Prince Charles — Egypt, Greece and Scotland
Princess Di and Prince Charles had a three-month honeymoon, crossing continents. They visited Egypt, the Greek islands and finished the trip at the queen’s favorite Scottish castle, Balmoral.
Prince William and Kate Middleton — Seychelles
Will and Kate also went tropical, making their honeymoon a private island retreat in Seychelles. If you’re having a royal honeymoon, you might as well go all out, right? Private island means ultimate romance.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — Canada
The royal newlyweds are reportedly heading to the Great White North for their honeymoon, visiting Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Alberta, Canada, according to TMZ. After previous speculation of Namibia, the couple seems to have opted for a more mountainous locale. The lodge hasn’t confirmed the rumors, although it does have a history of royal guests (Queen Elizabeth visited in 2005) and it has a suite named “The Royal Retreat.”
