Prince William reveals why Jordan holds special place in family life

Prince William and Kate Middleton have long enjoyed spending quality time with their children during family holidays, with Jordan reportedly remaining one of their favourite destinations. However, the Prince and Princess of Wales decided to stay in the UK during the recent half-term break instead of travelling to the Middle Eastern country.

The family reportedly chose to change their usual holiday plans because of the ongoing conflict and security concerns in the region. Jordan has been a familiar destination for the Wales family, who are said to enjoy the privacy and peaceful surroundings offered by their accommodation.

Their holiday retreat is described as a private holiday complex featuring individual chalets, villas and palaces. The family reportedly enjoys a private residence during their visits, allowing them to spend time away from public attention.

There is also a lighter side to the family’s travel routine. Prince William is reportedly a fan of the popular mobile game Candy Crush and enjoys playing it throughout long flights. The revelation offers a glimpse into the future king’s more relaxed side when he is away from his royal responsibilities.

Meanwhile, Prince William has also shared a deeply personal connection to another special location that holds lasting memories for him and Kate.

In a recent feature for Country Life magazine, the Prince of Wales selected his favourite view from Bodowen Farmhouse in Anglesey, overlooking Newborough Forest, the beach and Llanddwyn Island.

The breathtaking landscape carries emotional significance for William because it reminds him of the early years of his marriage to Catherine. The couple lived in Anglesey after their 2011 wedding, making it the first home they shared as husband and wife and the place where they began building their family life.

William also reflected on his time living on the island while working as a search and rescue pilot with the Royal Air Force at RAF Valley, near Holyhead.

He recalled how much he enjoyed the role and the opportunity to experience the Welsh landscape from above. Flying across the coastline gave him a unique perspective on the natural beauty of the area.

For William, Anglesey remains much more than a picturesque destination. It represents an important chapter in his personal life, bringing back memories of his early marriage, professional experiences and the beginnings of his family journey with Kate.
