She may not be royalty, but Pippa Middleton’s honeymoon with new hubs James Matthews is definitely royal-worthy. Why, you ask? Well, the new Mr. and Mrs. Matthews are reportedly going on not one, but two, honeymoons.
According to sources, the Pippa and James will spend the first leg of their honeymoon on the Pacific island of Tetiaroa, an island once owned by Marlon Brandon and now known as The Brando. With 35 thatched villas, each with their own outdoor bath and infinity pool, this eco-friendly luxury resort is basically paradise. Just ask the Obamas or the other celebs (hey, Bey + Jay) and royalties who’ve vacationed there.
But, that’s just the first stop. After their romantic week on the island, the newlyweds will head back to the U.K. to the Scottish Highlands, where the groom’s family owns an estate. “Pippa was very heavily involved in the organization of the big day, and they’ve decided on two very different honeymoon breaks—first to a stunning island out in French Polynesia but then to Scotland because it’s a special place for both of them,” a friend told The Sun.
