And we all want to book tickets now.

Sure, being a royal has its advantages – the fashion, the princes, the tiaras, the castles – but it definitely also has its drawbacks, from the end of privacy to the dreaded rumour mill.

Not to mention - being a royal is a full time job - from the charity work and speeches to the official visits and appearances.

It’s hardly surprising therefore that from time to time they need a break.

But where do the royals go to relax? This is something Kate Middleton revealed this week, as she let slip one of the most popular royal holiday destination in the UK.

While taking part in a royal tour of Keswick, Cumbria, alongside her husband Prince William, Kate reportedly told members of the public about her top UK holiday spot - the Lake District.

‘She said that it was raining a lot and was a long way from their home in Norfolk, but they love it here,’ a royal fan explained, via Hello! Magazine.

‘She said that her children love coming here and walking in the fells,’ another source continued. ‘She told us how nice the Lake District was and how lucky we were to live so close to the mountains.’

Well, we just added the Lake District to our holiday lists.
