Cape Town - Prince George will be ringing in his 6^th birthday on a tropical island.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are planning to fly to the island of Mustique in the Caribbean to celebrate the future king’s birthday, Mirror UK reports.

The family of five will be able to enjoy their privacy as the private island enforces a no-fly zone, preventing paparazzi from taking any photographs from the air.

"It is incredibly private and incredibly discreet but not remote. They know and trust the staff who work there and they are creatures of habit," a royal insider told The Sun.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share some new photographs of their family as they visited the RHS Back to Nature Garden at the #ChelseaFlowerShow on Sunday afternoon. The photographs were taken by @mattporteous. The #RHSChelsea Back to Nature Garden, designed by The Duchess and award-winning landscape architects Andrée Davies and Adam White of Davies White Landscape Architects, is a woodland setting for families and communities to come together and connect with nature. Her Royal Highness is a strong advocate for the proven benefits the outdoors has on physical and mental health, and the positive impact that nature and the environment can have on childhood development in particular. Over the past months, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have helped The Duchess gather moss, leaves and twigs to help decorate @The_RHS Back to Nature Garden. Hazel sticks collected by the family were also used to make the garden’s den. The Duchess told Monty Don in an interview for the BBC: “I really feel that nature and being interactive outdoors has huge benefits on our physical and mental wellbeing, particularly for young children. I really hope that this woodland that we have created really inspires families, kids and communities to get outside, enjoy nature and the outdoors, and spend quality time together.”

This won’t be the first time the royal couple have visited the island. It’s reported that Kate and William have been travelling to Mustique for years and that it’s their favourite Caribbean destination, PEOPLE reports.

The proud parents released a new portrait of Prince George to mark the milestone ahead of his birthday on Monday, 22 July.

The Duke and Duchess are currently on their summer holiday and taking a break from royal duties but the pair will be back to business in September.
