The Cambridges Jet to Mustique, Vote for Kate's Best Hat & More!

Hello, dear readers,

William, Kate and George woke up on the Caribbean island of Mustique today, kicking off their annual holiday to the paradise location with the Middleton family.


The royals were spotted arriving in St. Lucia en route from London. There's speculation photos were taken at the airport, but it remains to be seen if/when these will be published. However, it's possible Hello! will have an exclusive once again this year. Below we see Kate and Prince George arriving for last year's vacation...

Hello! Magazine

According to one passenger Prince George was very well behaved on the flight and occupied by a toy giraffe. It's been suggested by the informative Prince George Pieces, he may have been carrying one his grandfather Prince Charles received as a gift during an engagement.

It's a particularly special year in Mustique as Carole Middleton's 60th birthday will be celebrated on the island. No doubt Pippa will have very exciting party plans in the offing to mark the milestone birthday. It's a great opportunity for William and Kate to enjoy time in the sun with Prince George and the Middletons before their second child arrives in April.

Early reports suggested they are once again staying at Aurora Villa.

Mustique Island
The stunning property boasts three bedroom suites, a pool, sun deck and sun lounges and staff including a butler, chef, maid and gardener.

Not a bad place to spend a week or two!

However the Mail Online claims they chose Villa Rocina.

More from the Mail Online:

'It is understood that the family – accompanied by a team of Scotland Yard bodyguards – have taken over Villa Rocina.
Designed and built in 1971 in the style of a Caribbean plantation, it boasts its own 30ft pool as well as stunning views. 
Guests have only to walk a few feet from their garden to snorkel in the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea in front of the house.
Each bedroom has its own en-suite bath and dressing room, and the property has an air-conditioned gym for guests who can tear themselves away from the sun and sand. 
Four members of staff – a chef, a butler, a housekeeper and a gardener – will be on hand throughout the family’s stay to tend to their every whim. '

It looks like the perfect spot for relaxing family dinners with a spectacular view.

We hope they all have a wonderful time!

Finally, an update on Kate's popular L.K. Bennett 'Darwin' jacket. The brand has updated the jacket with a new season piece called the 'Casper' shearling jacket.

More from the product description: 

'A shearling coat is a key investment for AW14 and Casper is exemplary. An update on last season's Darwin jacket, Casper has been made from the finest sheepskin and lining with sumptuously soft shearling, perfect for staying snug and stylish on cooler days.'

Fans of the brand may be interested to know there's still an ongoing sale on the US/Canada website with 40% off with the code '40SALE'.
