COUPLES looking for a honeymoon destination or holiday like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle this summer don’t need to travel over 7,000 miles to feel like royalty.
The soon-to-be newlyweds are rumoured to have plans to jet off to Namibia following their nuptials at Windsor Castle next month, making the 10 hour journey from London to the country in South Africa.
Although bookings of holidays to the continent are set to spike as a result, the prospects of a long travel time and inevitable jet lag aren’t for everyone.
Caught up in the royal wedding bubble, the travel experts at airFair have chosen their top five under the radar destinations a little closer to home in Europe, still with that all-important royal factor.
