HOLIDAY LIKE A KING

CORFU, GREECE

This Greek island is close to the hearts of King Charles and Queen Camilla - and for good reason. It's the birthplace of the King's father, the late Prince Philip, who at just 18 months old left the island in a cot made from an orange box after the Greek royal family was exiled in 1922.

The King and Queen reportedly stay at the sprawling Rothschild Villa, also known as the Kensington Summer Palace, in the remote area of Kerasia. Set in a vast estate of ancient pines, waterfalls and rich vegetation on a rocky outcrop above a white pebble beach, the pale pink house is so remote there's only one traditional taverna nearby. A pavilion and outdoor pool look over the lonian Sea to Albania.

The King has said Greece is in his blood and that he has "long had a fascination for her ancient culture and history".

TRESCO, ISLES OF SCILLY

With tropical vegetation, turquoise waters and white sandy beaches, the "Cornish Caribbean", as the five inhabited Isles of Scilly are known, is a firm favourite of the monarch. The isle of Tresco belongs to the Duchy of Cornwall and the King stays at Dolphin House, a large old granite rectory with spectacular views of the coastline.

When he's not holidaying there, guests can rent it and live like a royal. Tresco Abbey Gardens and several quality restaurants are on its doorstep. The island is best explored on foot or bike, as cars are banned. The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children also holiday on Tresco.
