And when it comes t o engagements and honeymoons, the world really is their oyster.

It was on the ultra-private Caribbean island of Calala – an unspoilt paradise fringed by white sand and palm trees and featuring only four thatched beachfront suites – that Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank sealed their love in 2018.

During their dreamy castaway vacation Jack popped the question against a dramatic backdrop of lakes and volcanoes on the mainland of Nicaragua, which is just a helicopter ride or 90-minute boat journey away.

Most recently, the couple escaped to Jamaica’s golden coastline, where they celebrated the New Year with their children August, three, and nine-month-old Ernest, and joined a group of friends including US influencer Hannah Bronfman and her husband Brendan Fallis.

Prince William chose a safari in Kenya to propose to Kate Middleton in 2010. Presenting her with his mother Diana, Princess of Wales’s engagement ring – a 12-carat Ceylon sapphire surrounded by diamonds – the romantic Prince asked Kate to marry him at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, which comprises ten exclusive lodges.
