However, the Bahamas has always had a very special place in the hearts of the Royal Family. As King Edward VIII became Royal Governor of The Bahamas and had a residence here after he relinquished the throne to marry the love of his life in December of 1936.  

Over the years members of the royal family have visited and vacationed in the Bahamas including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, H.R.H. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and  H.R.H. Prince Charles, Prince of Wales.
