Almost like clock work, Queen Elizabeth heads to Balmoral Castle in Scotland in early August to enjoy a multi-week stay with family members coming for rotating visits.

Much of the time is spent outdoors from horseback riding, picnics and hunting.

"I think Granny is the most happy there. I think she really, really loves the Highlands," Princess Eugenie once said.

The Caribbean island Mustique was a favourite of Princess Margaret as it was very exclusive and free of paparazzi.

In more recent years, Prince William and Kate Middleton have enjoyed the tropical waters often along with other members of the Middleton family.

While Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis attend school in London for most of the year, any break they get, Prince William and Kate Middleton jet back to Anmer Hall on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.

Just down the road from William and Kate's Anmer Hall home is Sandringham House.

Princess Anne's daughter, Zara Tindall, and husband, Mike Tindall, have spent time there in the past.

Each summer Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall undertake a tour of Wales.

While there, they stay at his restored farmhouse in Llwynywermod.

The home is also where Prince Charles retreated to mourn Prince Philip after his funeral.

Hmy Britannia was decommissioned in 1997, but before that it was Queen Elizabeth, along with many other royals, favourite place to retreat to.
Necker Island

Unless you happen to be friends with Sir Richard Branson, getting an invite to his private Necker Island is unlikely.

Princess Diana enjoyed the privacy of the 74 acre retreat in the British Virgin Islands where Prince William and Prince Harry would play in the sand.

Another favourite spot for Prince Charles and Camilla to get away to is Birhall in Scotland.

Prince Charles has spent extensive time designing the gardens, having to start from scratch after floods hit the area in 2016.

The home was once owned by the Queen Mother.
Highgrove House

Just in case Prince Charles and Camilla didn't have enough choices, Highgrove House in Gloucestershire is where the couple spend most of their time when they aren't in London.
