The Royal couple are no strangers to the Isle of Wight. In 2018, they visited Ryde, meeting the team at Aspire Ryde and naming Wightlink's Victoria of Wight ferry. 

In 2020, meanwhile, the Prince visited West Wight Sports and Community Centre, to learn bout its Covid-19 lockdown hub.

In 2014, they were in Cowes and East Cowes, including at St Mildred's Church and Queensgate Primary School and in 2016, they met the Wight Jewels ice dance team as well as seeing a new hovercraft.
