    "A honeymoon fit for royalty…"

    Our pick of potential ‘just married’ jaunts

    Where could Prince Harry and Meghan Markle go on honeymoon?

    It’s the news that everyone’s talking about – the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. There’s no mystery as to where the nuptials are taking place – St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle is the venue of choice. But where might they head off to once they’ve tied the knot?

     

    From their ‘been-there’ lists, it’s obvious that both Meghan and Harry love to travel. Meghan’s jetted off on location shoots and press tours as part of her acting career, as well as writing for her lifestyle blog, The Tig. Meanwhile, Harry’s had plenty of royal visits abroad. Plus, they’re both often found boarding a plane on their way to a charity trip.

     

    What’s more, they’ve already ticked off some stellar destinations as a couple. They explored the Norwegian fjords on one of their first getaways together, and in the summer of 2017 they spent three weeks in Botswana. So, we’re expecting big things when it comes to the honeymoon.

     

    But, have they given anything away about where they’ll go once the ceremony’s wrapped up? We’ve been doing some detective work – here’s our round-up of likely locations.

    New York City

    Since the wedding’s going to be firmly in Harry’s neck of the woods, we reckon that the honeymoon might bring Meghan back to her roots. Although she’s lived in Canada for the past few years, Meghan’s a born and raised American.


    She’s called New York her ‘home away from home’, which could put the city in the running for the couple’s honeymoon destination of choice. From shopping on Fifth Avenue, to taking in the bright lights of Times Square, they’d have plenty to keep them busy.


    And, when it comes to hotels, the Lotte New York Palace – which we pulled out as one of NYC’s most stylish hotels – is fit for royalty. This fancy hotel’s decked out in marble, so the Prince should feel right at home.

    Mexico

    Mexico’s another classic honeymooners’ hotspot. It boasts beautiful beaches, amazing scuba diving scenes, and some stunning natural sights. What’s more, we know that looking after the environment’s something that’s close to the Prince’s heart. It’s one of the big drivers behind the charity he started with his brother – The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry.

     

    Stays at the TUI SENSATORI Resort Azul Mexico have been given the eco-friendly stamp, with our greener and fairer hotels initiative. The hotel takes part in lots of great schemes, including a sea turtle conservation programme, to make sure that their holidays don’t hurt the environment.

    Plus, Meghan, who has worked as a UN women’s advocate, would be sure to get on board with the hotel’s partnership supporting a local Mayan women’s cooperative, selling and serving dragon fruit jam in the hotel.

    Croatia

    During Prince Harry’s well-documented youth, he liked to have a bit of fun. One of his most famous exploits took place in Croatia, on the island of Hvar, where Harry took a bit of a tumble. Into a swimming pool. In a nightclub.

     

    Once he’s a married man, we think he might fancy a trip back to Croatia, to get a second look at the parts of this picture-perfect country that he might have overlooked the first time around. Croatia’s full of beautiful natural sights, which would make an ideal backdrop for those honeymoon album pics.

     

    Rabac, in the Istrian Riviera, is the perfect springboard for visits to the national park-peppered islands of Krk, Cres, and Rab. We’re talking neck-craning mountain ranges and eye-widening scenery, as well as white-sand beaches.

    Maldives

    Prince William opted for a honeymoon on the ultra-exclusive North Island, in the Seychelles. We reckon that Harry might take some inspiration from his big bro, and jet off to the Seychelles’ next-door archipelago, the Maldives.

     

    This place is a honeymoon magazine staple, with its couples-only vibe, ice-white sands and bright-blue seas. What’s more, it’s made up of over 2,000 islands peppered with secret beaches, so it would give the newlyweds a welcome chance to take a break from the spotlight.

     

    The South Male Atoll is super secluded, and the Olhuveli Beach and Spa Resort offers the chance to stay in one of the Maldives’ famous water villas, which perch on stilts above the waves.

    Feeling inspired?

    Why not book your own romantic break? (Wedding not required).
