With the weight of the monarchy resting on their shoulders, it’s been a busy few years for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – especially Kate, the ever-reliable star of the show.

So it’s no wonder Prince William is looking to spoil his wife of almost 11 years.

Woman’s Day has learned from an exclusive source that Wills, 39, is secretly plotting a surprise mini break for Kate, 40, as a “sort of pre-celebration” of their wedding anniversary next month.

“He’s combining it with their official trip to the Caribbean over the next two weeks,” says the insider. “William is keeping the details under wraps, but most of his friends assume he’ll take her to the Round Hill.”

The Round Hill Hotel and Villas, which overlooks Montego Bay in Jamaica, is a favourite among the British elite, including the Cambridges’ brother and sister-in-law, Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, who attended Harry’s best mate Tom Inskip’s wedding there in 2017.

The luxurious resort, which is part owned by designer Ralph Lauren and features multi-bedroom private villas, was also a favourite of the Kennedy family, actor Pierce Brosnan and late James Bond writer Sir Ian Fleming.

A source says, “The Round Hill is absolutely perfect as they’ll be able to spend a couple of days there completely unbothered and enjoy days by the pool and date nights lingering over meals cooked by a private chef. It’s one of the most beautiful hotels in the world.”

An insider close to William and Kate adds, “Things have been so busy for the Cambridges, between raising three little kids and shouldering a large amount of responsibility for the family. They thoroughly deserve a little getaway together while they’re on tour.”

Last year for their 10 year milestone Kensington Palace released two stunning portraits of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

In the gorgeous photographs, shot by Chris Floyd, Kate and Wills sit side-by-side, hand-in-hand both fittingly wearing shades of blue, which is the colour symbolic of a 10th anniversary.

Duchess Catherine looked ravishing in a powder blue floral ensemble with silky skirt and sheer blouse while the Prince looked dashing as ever in navy slacks, a collared shirt and blue knit.

The photo, which was shared on the Kensington Royal social media pages, was simply captioned: “10 years 👰♀️🤵♂️”

The second photograph, showed William holding Kate as she looked off screen smiling, giving fans flashbacks to the couple’s engagement shot.
