Harry Green with Envy as William Acquires Ownership of 200 Idyllic Islands

In a surprising turn of events, Prince William has added yet another prestigious title to his already impressive collection.

Last year, when he ascended to the position of Prince of Wales, he not only inherited the title but also received a remarkable acquisition from his father, King Charles.

The Duchy of Cornwall, a vast expanse spanning 130,000 acres, was handed over to the 41-year-old prince, making him the largest private landowner in Britain.

With holdings worth £1.2 billion across 23 countries, Prince William's portfolio includes farms, housing developments, seven castles, woodlands, coastlines, and commercial properties.

However, what caught everyone's attention was his newfound ownership of approximately 200 picturesque islands and rocks off the Cornish coast.

Among these islands are the five inhabited Isles of St Mary's, Tresco, St Martin's, St Agnes, and Brear.

Renowned for their outstanding beauty, tranquility, and unspoiled nature, the Isles of Scilly are located just off the coast of Cornwall and can be reached within an hour from southwest England by plane.

Prince William, whose Duchy receives a symbolic payment of a single daffodil per year from the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust, has enjoyed holidays on the island of Tresco on multiple occasions.

In fact, a photograph from 1989 captures a young Prince William exploring the island with his mother, Princess Diana, his father, Prince Charles, and his brother, Prince Harry.

While Prince William is expected to continue visiting these islands as their owner, the same cannot be said for Prince Harry.

After stepping back from royal duties, Prince Harry no longer holds any royal privileges.

Had he and his wife, Meghan, remained working members of the royal family, they would have been welcomed to these idyllic islands for some well-deserved rest.

However, they missed out on this opportunity.

The Isles of Scilly, an archipelago boasting pristine beaches with white sands and crystal-clear waters, can be accessed by the Siliconian Three Ferry, which takes approximately three hours to cross the waters from Penzance.

Alternatively, a helicopter ride from Penzance to the islands of St Mary's or Tresco takes just 15 minutes.

The largest of the islands is St Mary's, measuring a mere three miles in length and one mile in width.

From there, visitors can explore the other islands via boat.

Despite their popularity, the islands have a limited capacity, with only around 5,000 tourist beds available, ensuring that they never feel overcrowded.

Apart from their natural beauty, the islands also boast a unique array of flora and fauna typically not found in Britain, thanks to their famous botanical gardens.

Additionally, the islands hold historical significance.

In 1588, following the failed Spanish Armada invasion, Queen Elizabeth constructed a fortified garrison on the main island of St Mary's as a precautionary measure.

This star-shaped castle still stands today, guarding the harbor of the town of St Mary's, albeit transformed into a hotel.

With its thick granite walls, ancient beamed ceilings, and a dungeon bar, the star castle serves as a reminder of the island's rich history.

In other news, a royal expert has shed light on Prince Harry's feelings of envy towards his brother, Prince William.

This revelation comes in the wake of the release of bombshell excerpts from Prince Harry's memoir, “Spare.”

According to royal expert Kinsey Schofield, Prince Harry's jealousy towards Prince William dates back to their childhood.
