Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with their two children slipped away for a secret holiday to a surprising location during their European travels.
The Daily Mail understands that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, stayed earlier this month on Tanera Mor.
The private island is said to have inspired The Wicker Man, the cult 1973 film starring Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee and Britt Ekland.
Harry is thought to have previously visited the island, which was bought for £1.7million in 2017 by billionaire Ian Wace, co-founder of hedge fund giant Marshall Wace.
When Wace, 63, bought Tanera Mor, the largest of the Summer Isles, it had a population of just five, who were outnumbered by crofters’ cottages in various stages of dereliction.
But the 800-acre island has since been transformed by Wace, who has poured £100million into it, planting 100,000 trees, restoring a dozen properties and laying three miles of roads.
He has also revived skills such as beekeeping. But perhaps the aspect which would have most appealed to Harry is that, by last year, more than half of the 1,000 guests Tanera had hosted were from the Taigh Mor Foundation.
During their time on the isle, they restore buildings, harvest seaweed, fish for mackerel or work in the kitchens or gardens.
Earlier this month, the Duke of Sussex and his full family returned to the United Kingdom to attend several Invictus Games events in London and Birmingham as part of the one-year-to-go celebrations.
They also paid a visit King Charles, 77, and his wife Queen Camilla, 79, at Highgrove House, marking the first time the family had spent time together in four years.
