See the Royal Family's Favorite Vacation Destinations

The British royals keep very busy schedules for most of the year, but they also find time to vacation.

Kate Middleton,Prince William,King Charles,Queen Camillaand more typically take private vacations between July and August to relax and recharge before the fall, which also includes an annual summer visit to Balmoral, the family's holiday estate in Scotland. During the holidays, they're most likely to be found at Sandringham, where they traditionally spend every Christmas.

As they continue to raise their three children, Prince William and Princess Kate occasionally give the public a glimpse at their family adventures, including spending plenty of time in nature. In 2025, the couple took their kids on aski vacation in the French Alps.

Scroll below to discover where the royals escape for some genuine R&R, both during their annual breaks and throughout the year.

Birkhall at Balmoral

WhileBalmoral Castlein Aberdeenshire, Scotland, is synonymous with the lateQueen Elizabeth's summer retreats, the neighboring Birkhall Estate is lesser-known on royal radars. Queen Victoria's husbandPrince Albertbought the property shortly after he purchased Balmoral (and its 50,000 acre-enclave) in 1852,Country Lifereported.

King Charles inherited Birkhall following the death of his beloved grandmotherQueen Elizabeth, the Queen Motherin 2002, and reportedly honeymooned there with Camilla in 2005. The couple is known to spend summers at the 18th-century home, and Charles was interviewed there for the 2018 documentaryPrince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70.

Highgrove House

Two and a half hours from London is the King and Queen's "family home" in Gloucestershire, England, known as Highgrove House. The property was purchased in 1980 and is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall.

Charles, an ardent gardener, has worked diligently on Highgrove's grounds for four decades, which he designed to "please the eyeand sit in harmony with nature." Since the early 1980s, he has invited groups, schools and charities to tour the gardens, and used the home to host briefings and receptions.

Ray Mill House

Just 15 minutes down the road from Highgrove is Ray Mill House, Queen Camilla's private residence in Wiltshire. According toThe Sun, she purchased the property in 1996 following her divorce fromAndrew Parker Bowlesand lived there until 2003.

Though she has access to Charles'vast portfolio of real estate, Ray Mill House is said to hold a special place in her heart and serve as a favorite gathering place for children and grandchildren.

Fans gota glimpse of the gardensin 2022 when Camilla graced (and guest edited) a special edition ofCountry Life— calling on Kate to take her picture.

Isles of Scilly

Princess Kate and Prince William are known to frequent theIsles of Scillyduring the summer months withPrince George,Princess CharlotteandPrince Louis. The Prince of Wales haslong visitedthe islands off the southwest tip of England and vacationed there as a boy withPrincess Diana, the future King Charles andPrince Harry.

Embracing island energy, William and Kate surprised locals a few summers ago when theybiked around Trescowith their kids!

"William and Kate were riding their bicycles, having a laugh. They looked so happy enjoying the weather. I did do a double-take. They were really friendly and said hello," an onlooker told theDaily Mirror.

During a solo work trip to the Isles of Scilly in May 2024, Prince William reportedly joked, "My family are very upsetI'm here without them," and took home Cornish pastries as a savory souvenir, theDaily Mailsaid.

Anmer Hall

For school breaks, weekends and holidays,Anmer Hallin Norfolk is another favorite escape for the Wales family. Prince William and Princess Kate received the country home on the Sandringham Estate as a wedding present fromQueen Elizabethin 2011.

Princess Kate is said to feelmost at homeat Amner Hall, and the family isolated there during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Beaches of Norfolk

Anmer Hall is close to the beaches of north Norfolk, where the Waleses enjoy outings and boating.

In June 2024, the photo that the Prince and Princess of Wales released ofWilliam with their kidsfor Father's Day was taken (by Kate!) in the area.

Jordan

It's a little-known fact that Katelived in Jordan as a childfor a few years with her family, perhaps inspiring a vacation there decades later. Kate and William revealed that they took George, Charlotte and Louis to Jordan with the release of their 2021Christmas card, and sharedanother shotof the prince with his kids on the following Father's Day.

William, George, Charlotte and Louis looked relaxed in casual clothes with wide smiles, and Louis even playfully sat on his dad's shoulders.

Botswana

Prince Harry holds Botswana dear as a true refuge and focus oflongstanding conservation work, so it was only natural that he invitedMeghan Marklethere while they dated in 2016.

"I managed to persuade her to come and join me in Botswana. We camped out with each other under the stars. She came and joined me for five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic," Harry said in theirengagement interviewwith the BBC in November 2017.

The prince even chose a diamond from Botswana for the center gem of Meghan'sthree-stone engagement ring, which is hugged by two smaller diamonds from Princess Diana's personal collection — a piece Meghan has called "perfect."

Fans got an intimate glimpse of the couple's trip to Botswana — which doubled as theirthird date— in the Netflix seriesHarry & Meghan, which debuted in December 2022.

The Mediterranean

Prince Harry and Meghan tied the knot in May 2018, and he revealed their honeymoon location in his memoirSpare.

"Our honeymoon was a closely guarded secret. We left London in a car disguised as a removals van, the windows covered with cardboard, and went to the Mediterranean for ten days. Glorious to be away, on the sea, in the sun," Prince Harry wrote in his 2023 memoir.

Saint-Tropez

Princess BeatriceandEdoardo Mapelli Mozziwere spotted inSaint-Tropezlast summer, marking a return to a favorite getaway. France is a special spot for the couple, who honeymooned there.

After Beatrice and Edotied the knotin 2020,a source told PEOPLEthat the newlyweds had a "small honeymoon in France" with a "longer, more luxurious honeymoon" planned.

Portugal

On a July 2023 episode of her podcastTea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah,Sarah Fergusonrevealed thatPrincess Eugeniewas in Portugal with her sonsAugustandErnest, who she shares with her husband,Jack Brooksbank.

In 2022, Jackstarted a new jobthat called for the family to split time between the U.K. and Portugal. The trip might have marked a milestone for Ernest, who wasborn that May— the first stamp in his passport for his first trip abroad.

Mustique

Princess Margaretfound a haven in Mustique when her marriage to Anthony Armstrong-Jones turned turbulent in the 1970s. Queen Elizabeth's younger sister was gifted a 10-acre parcel of land on the private Caribbean island and built a vacation home, christenedLes Jolies Eaux— French for "the beautiful waters."

According toMarie Claire, Margaret made the space her second home for nearly 30 years, and she put the island on the map as a glamorous getaway. She went on to gift the villa to her son David Armstrong-Jones as a wedding present in the 1990s, and he eventually sold it. Today, Les Jolies Eaux isavailable to rent.

The Caribbean

Princess Diana was known to love visiting the Caribbean, from Richard Branson's privateNecker Islandto Nevis (where she's pictured splashing here in 1993).

Balmoral Castle

Queen Elizabeth had the keys to many royal residences, but none quite so special as Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands. The royal family has owned the hideaway since 1845, andPrince Philipchose it to propose.

Balmoral was truly the Queen's summer sanctuary and shetraditionally spentevery August there. Family and friends convened at the castle and made the most of the grounds with hunting, fishing, horseback riding, picnics and hikes.

Queen Elizabeth died at Balmoral at age 96 on Sept. 8, 2022, and King Charles iscontinuing her traditionof spending some of the summer there.

Gina Gershon opens up about why she couldn’t watch “Showgirls” 'for years'

Gina Gershonhas complicated feelings aboutShowgirls.

In an appearance onThe Julia Cunningham Show, Gershon revealed that she couldn't watch the cult favorite "for years" because of how difficult it was to work on. She shared that she "thought it was going to be a different movie than it was," leading to multiple disagreements with directorPaul Verhoevanduring filming.

"I would get very tense and anxious when I thought about certain things and and stories," Gershon said.

Gershon said she had "a little bit of PTSD" from playing Cristal Connors, the star of a topless dance revue in Las Vegas and rival to aspiring dancer Nomi (Elizabeth Berkley). She recalled arguing with Verhoeven over her character's accent, the direction of the film, andthe inclusion of the gruesome rape scene.

"I wanted to have 'accent, accent,' and then when you see her backstage, she has no accent," Gershon said, referring to Cristal's exaggerated country twang. "She like talks, she's like a Jersey girl or something. Everything fake. I wanted every single thing fake."

She also shared that she was "so offended" by the brutal sexual assault scene involving kindhearted seamstress Molly (Gina Ravera). Gershon said that she advocated for having it taken out ahead ofShowgirls' release. However, three decades later, she said she now understands its inclusion.

"It is really a comment on like ugly America, and on capitalism and power struggles and dynamics and all those things, that of course that rape scene has to be there," she said. "It's the grossest thing in there — and the powerful men, they're all protected."

Gershon said she was "in survival mode" while shootingShowgirlsbecause she was afraid it would end her career if her performance was lacking. While the film was panned upon release, it has since experienced a cultural reappraisal, garnering homages from the likes ofAriana Grande.

Now that she understands the message inShowgirls, Gershon has a better appreciation for it. But she told Cunningham she would've liked Verhoeven to be more communicative about his vision for the movie.

"I wish he had just clued me in saying 'This is why this is there,'" she said.

Despite the fact that the film was not what she expected, Gershon said it was a good learning experience that taught her to be adaptable.

"I just changed my approach to the whole character," she said. "So that was kind of interesting. It was a good lesson."

Lawsuit alleges former Chili's worker fired over transgender identity

A former employee ofChili's Grill and Barin suburban Chicago says they were fired after just three and a half weeks on the job after their manager learned they weretransgender, according to claims made in a recently filed federal lawsuit.

Hudson Webber, a transgender man assigned female at birth, said a manager at the Rosemont, Illinois, casual dining spot explicitly cited Webber's "personal values and lifestyle values" as the reason for theirterminationon May 12, 2025, according to the lawsuit.

The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, says that when Webber asked to speak to someone else, the manager said the decision had been made jointly with the regional manager and that a worker at a separate location was being let go for the same reason.

A spokesman for Brinker International, the publicly traded corporation that owns Chili's, said the company was "unable to comment or share any further details at this time" given the ongoing litigation.

According tothe complaint, Webber was hired April 17, 2025, and met or exceeded performance expectations. Within two weeks, the work atmosphere had shifted, Webber said: In the days leading up to their firing, Webber was "repeatedly called off from scheduled shifts."

In one instance, the lawsuit described, Webber was told not to report for duty because a pipe rupture had forced the restaurant to close. However, Webber later learned the story had been fabricated and that the restaurant had in fact stayed open and staffed, his lawyers alleged.

"In reality, Plaintiff was intentionally being excluded from work because management did not want Plaintiff present," the complaint says.

On May 12, it says, the manager called and said Webber would be let go because their "personal values and lifestyle values" did not align with the restaurant. According to the complaint, the manager referenced Webber's sex and gender identity.

"The decision to terminate Plaintiff was made only after management became aware of Plaintiff's gender identity and expression," the complaint alleges. Webber's termination had nothing to do with job performance, "instead based on discriminatory views" about such identity, it says.

According to the suit, Webber has suffered loss of income, emotional distress and humiliation and seeks, among other things, back pay and compensatory and punitive damages.

Research shows trans people face higher rates of workplace discrimination than the general population, said Ash Lazarus Orr of Advocates for Trans Equality, a national advocacy group in Washington, D.C. Orr was commenting on trans discrimination in general and not specifically about the Webber case.

Surveys have found that significant numbers of trans workers report being fired, denied promotions, or mistreated on the job because of their gender identity, Orr said, contributing to broader economic disparities within the trans community.

"What we are seeing is continued evidence that trans workers remain vulnerable to unfair treatment in the workplace," he said.

FBI joins search for retired Air Force major general missing for nearly 2 weeks

A high-ranking retired US Air Force major general who once commanded a base longassociated with UFO lorehas been missing for nearly two weeks, and authorities are appealing to the public for help locating him, according to the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office in New Mexico.

Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland, 68, left his Albuquerque home on foot at approximately 11 a.m. February 27 and has not been in contact with family or friends since, the sheriff's office said in anews release. His cell phone was left behind, the sheriff's office told CNN.

The sheriff's office issued a Silver Alert the next day, which remains in effect. An unspecified "medical issue" has added urgency to the search.

Authorities have conducted extensive neighborhood canvassing, interviews and coordinated search operations in an effort to find him. They contacted more than 600 homeowners in the neighborhood, the sheriff's office said.

McCasland is 5-foot-11 with white hair and blue eyes, according to the sheriff's office. He is "an avid outdoorsman" who hikes, runs and cycles in Albuquerque's Northeast Heights neighborhood and the Sandia Mountains foothills.

"Due to his background and established partnerships, BCSO is coordinating closely with multiple agencies," including the FBI Albuquerque Field Office and Kirtland Air Force Base, thesheriff's office said. The FBI has confirmed its involvement.

McCasland held some of the most sensitive positions in the US military,according to the Air Force. An astronautical engineer with degrees from the US Air Force Academy, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, he held a series of high-level posts during his career.

He served as chief engineer on the Department of Defense's Global Positioning System program, system program director of the Space Based Laser Project Office and director of special programs at the Pentagon. He also commanded the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base — a base long rumored to houseextraterrestrial debris linked to Roswell, despite Air Force denials.

Following his retirement, McCasland worked withTo The Stars, Inc., a company co-founded by Blink-182 musician Tom DeLonge that says it studies information about unidentified aerial phenomena.

CNN has reached out to the Air Force and McCasland's family for comment.

His disappearance came just days afterPresident Donald Trump announcedin a Truth Social post he was directing the Pentagon and other federal agencies to release government records related to extraterrestrial life and UFOs.

"I hope and pray this is not one of those cases where a former senior military officer was specifically targeted and that he will be found happy and healthy in the immediate near term for his sake and the sake of his loved ones," Luis Elizondo, a former Department of Defense intelligence officer who now advocates for the release of classified information about UFOs, told CNN.

"Whether or not his disappearance had anything to do with any legacy involvement he may have had in UAP research, I prefer to allow law enforcement the necessary time to do their work before speculating," he added.

"It is true that Neil had a brief association with the UFO community," McCasland's wife, Susan McCasland Wilkerson, said in aFacebook post. "This connection is not a reason for someone to abduct Neil. Neil does not have any special knowledge about the ET bodies and debris from the Roswell crash stored at Wright-Patt."

Wilkerson said her husband does not have dementia. "He was not confused and disoriented," she said.

McCasland retired nearly 13 years ago, and Wilkerson said it "seems quite unlikely that he was taken to extract very dated secrets from him."

Wilkerson thanked the community and authorities for their support, noting the "dozens of searchers on foot, both official and friends and neighbors of Neil's … horseback searchers, drones with different capabilities, helicopters, three different types of search dogs, neighborhood canvassing and looking for Ring or wildlife videos."

The sheriff's office said it has so far "uncovered no evidence of foul play" but is "still considering all possible scenarios."

Investigators have asked those in the area to contact them if they have any information. Footage and other files can be sent to the sheriff's office through adedicated webpage.

"… Maybe the best hypothesis is that aliens beamed him up to the mothership," Wilkerson said in her post. "However, no sightings of a mothership hovering above the Sandia Mountains have been reported."

CNN's Jason Morris contributed to this report.
