Royal Enthusiast Claims Wales Family Sighted on £40M Superyacht Near Greek Islands

Locals in the Ionian Islands, particularly on Kefalonia, have been buzzing with speculation that Prince William, Princess Kate, and their children have been vacationing in the region since mid-July, arriving via private Lear jet and boarding luxury superyachts. Multiple sightings have been claimed, including one by Penelope Likoudi, a retired civil servant and royal enthusiast, who said she saw the family aboard the £40 million superyacht Almax near Ithaca. Taxi drivers and locals have also pointed to the superyacht Norn, owned by Microsoft billionaire Charles Simonyi, as carrying the royals. Additionally, some reports suggest the family may have been hosted on the extravagant £340 million mega-yacht Opera, owned by UAE royal Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, which has been widely covered internationally though not by British media. While official sources have remained silent, the stories have ignited widespread interest locally and globally, fueled by social media and local testimony. The Ionian Islands' usual tourist conversations have been largely overtaken by these royal sighting rumors during the busy summer season.
