Prince William and Kate Middleton are traveling to a remote Scottish island for their 14th wedding anniversary. Their two-day trip on April 29 and 30 includes visiting community hubs, learning about agriculture, and engaging with local schools. This heartfelt getaway is particularly significant as it's where they first met at university. Reflecting their commitment to conservation, they will avoid traditional ivory gifts for the occasion. Kensington Palace notes the contrasting lifestyle on the islands promotes deeper social connections and empathy within communities.
The landscapes and communities on the Scottish Isles provide a sharp contrast to how many of us in more urban environments live.
These island communities offer a powerful model for fostering a more loving, empathetic and compassionate society through deeper connections with our surroundings.
William previously described ivory as a 'symbol of destruction, not of luxury and not something that anyone needs to sell or trade.'
William and Catherine are looking to stray from UK tradition, which marks 14th wedding anniversaries with ivory gifts.
