Prince William and Kate Middleton are facing renewed criticism after reports surfaced of their July 2025 family holiday in Greece. According to Greek local media, the couple vacationed in Kefalonia alongside their three children and Kate’s parents. The trip marks another confirmed holiday this year, with additional unverified reports suggesting more than four getaways.

The timing has reignited public frustration over the royal couple’s limited workload. So far in 2025, both have carried out relatively few public duties, including just four working days in April, while still managing multiple international escapes. Royal watchers and taxpayers are again asking the same question: how many holidays are too many for a publicly funded monarchy?

Four Confirmed Vacations In Just Seven Months

The Wales family has taken three confirmed holidays in 2025. In January, they skied in the French Alps shortly before she revealed her cancer was in remission.

In February, Kate Middleton and Prince William skipped the 2025 BAFTAs to take a luxury family vacation in the Caribbean island of Mustique.

Over the Easter holidays, William and Kate skipped the Windsor family gathering—again—but not for rest at Anmer Hall as some believed. Paris Match confirmed they were skiing in the French Alps on April 3, marking their second ski holiday of 2025. So much for a scaled-back schedule.

The most recent trip, now drawing attention, involved a private jet to Kefalonia, followed by a luxury yacht tour of the Ionian Sea. Local outlets describe heavy security and a desire for discretion.

The Greece trip itself remained speculative until Greek sources published local sightings. Beyond the verified holidays, several reports suggest additional travel. A planned visit to Balmoral in August would bring the count to at least four confirmed holidays, with a fifth trip planned for August.

Media Silence And Royal Privilege Spark Outrage

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s travel habits are drawing fresh criticism, not just for their frequency, but for the lack of scrutiny they receive. While British tabloids stay silent on their private jet to Greece and luxury yacht in the Ionian Sea, foreign outlets have reported the trip in detail. At the same time, Meghan and Harry face constant coverage, including flight tracking and negative commentary over far less lavish travel.

Meanwhile, Prince William, touted as the leader of the monarchy’s top environmental initiative, embarked on possibly his fifth vacation of the year. UK tabloids have so far ignored the latest trip, even as foreign outlets report it in detail.

This silence feels increasingly deliberate. William’s Earthshot Prize promotes environmental sustainability. But his jet-setting and yachting suggest a different set of values. Experts note that a single superyacht can emit as much carbon in one year as an average person does in 860 years. Still, the British press continues to look the other way.

These double standards have consequences. They fuel public frustration and deepen calls for transparency. As royal duties decline and public costs rise, the Waleses’ holiday schedule is no longer a private matter. It now symbolizes privilege unchecked, and a royal institution drifting further from modern expectations.
