W‘I’m thrilled to be joining you for afternoon tea at Kensington Palace. Feel free to ask anything you like about
Prima – who knows, I may let slip a secret or two!’ Jo Checkley
e have enjoyed every moment of the fairy-tale romance of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex here at Prima. From Prince Harry’s down-to-earth proposal (over a roast chicken!) to their wonderful wedding day at Windsor Castle, Meghan’s pregnancy and their first royal tour together, the enchanting young couple have captured our hearts, as well as those of others around the world.
On a new three-day break exclusively for Prima readers, you’ll get to visit the places that have formed the backdrop to their magical modern love story.
You’ll stay at the four-star Copthorne Tara Hotel in west London for two nights, just a short walk away from Kensington Palace, the place the couple first called home. You’ll be given a guided tour of the palace and gardens as well as a talk on the royals, before enjoying a very special royal afternoon tea in Kensington Palace Pavilion, where you’ll be joined by your host, Prima editor Jo Checkley.
Other highlights of the trip include an exclusive buttonhole workshop at the studio of Philippa Craddock, the florist behind Harry and Meghan’s stunning floral displays, a tour of the couple’s wedding venue, Windsor Palace, with the chance to relive moments from that magical day, and a river boat cruise on the Thames.
Includes exclusive workshop at royal florist PHILIPPA CRADDOCK’S studio
THE HIGHLIGHTS MEET PRIMA’S EDITOR AT KENSINGTON PALACE
Enjoy a wonderful day at this majestic royal palace, including the opportunity to spend time in the beautiful Sunken Garden where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had their official engagement pictures taken. This was also Diana Princess of Wales’s favourite garden and was re-planted with white flowers in her memory two years ago. You’ll meet Prima editor Jo Checkley during a glamorous royal afternoon tea at Kensington
Palace Pavillion.
ROYAL FLORISTRY WORKSHOP
Philippa Craddock is the florist who created Harry and Meghan’s magnificent wedding flowers, including the now iconic archway of tumbling foliage that featured in their photos. Readers will visit Philippa’s studio in central London and create their very own floral buttonhole during a private workshop.
WINDSOR CASTLE VISIT
Home to the world’s largest and oldest inhabited castle and the location of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018, Windsor Castle has been hosting royal nuptials for 900 years. A Blue Badge guide will explain how these magnificent celebrations have evolved into the moving ceremonies we see today. You’ll also have time to visit St George’s Chapel, where the couple exchanged their vows, stand on the spot where they had their first married kiss and follow the route their carriage took through the streets of Windsor. Then visit the elegant Windsor Guildhall, where HRH Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005, and enjoy a scenic Thames river boat trip from Windsor to Boveney Lock, with stunning views of Windsor Castle,
Eton College, Mill House, Windsor Racecourse and Brocas Meadows.
