The £20m Superyacht That Hosted William and Kate in Greece
The Prince and Princess of Wales visited the Ionian island of Kefalonia this summer with their three children George (12), Charlotte (10), and Louis (7). They wanted their holiday to be as secret as possible — but in a place where locals keep a sharp eye on the sea, nothing stays hidden for long.
It didn’t take much for rumours to start. People whispered about a royal presence on the island, and the biggest question of all soon spread across tavernas and harbours: Which superyacht are they on?
The answer finally surfaced: the family had been staying aboard Lady Beatrice, a £20 million superyacht offering privacy, comfort, and seclusion. With its vast decks, luxurious interiors, and all the trappings of a floating palace, it allowed William and Kate to enjoy their time away from the spotlight.
In Kefalonia, yacht-spotting is almost a sport, and locals pride themselves on knowing exactly who is sailing in their turquoise bays. But this time, even the most eagle-eyed were left guessing until the name Lady Beatrice was confirmed.
About Lady Beatrice
The 60-metre Lady Beatrice, built by Feadship in 1993, carries the timeless elegance of De Voogt Naval Architects and interiors by Bannenberg Designs. Commissioned in the early ’90s by seasoned yachtsmen, she embodies the golden age of custom yacht building.
With a 10.5-metre beam and a 3.2-metre draft, Lady Beatrice offers generous space for 16 guests, supported by a skilled crew. Expansive decks and refined styling make her as suited to private relaxation as to grand entertaining.
About Kefalonia
Kefalonia is the largest of Greece’s Ionian Islands and one of the country’s most photogenic holiday spots. Known for its turquoise waters and beautifull beaches. Myrtos Beach is the island’s poster child, with its white pebbles and sheer cliffs. Antisamos and Lourdas are also favourites, while small coves around Fiscardo draw yachters seeking privacy.
Its capital, Argostoli, offers a lively waterfront where visitors often spot turtles in the harbour, while the northern village of Fiscardo is a favourite for yachters with its pastel houses, tavernas, and chic marina. Inland, Mount Ainos rises over pine forests and wild horses, while Melissani Cave adds a touch of mystery with its underground lake.
Popular with celebrities and discreet travellers alike, Kefalonia combines seclusion, charm, and Greek island warmth — qualities that made it the perfect setting for the Prince and Princess of Wales’s secretive family holiday.
