Royal Yacht Mystery: What Did George Windsor Really Want?

ROYAL EXCLUSIVE: Prince George's Secret Craving Rocks Greek Island Getaway

In a jaw-dropping revelation, The Scholarly Note can exclusively reveal that Prince George, 12, and his family took an unscheduled detour from their luxurious sailing trip around the Greek islands to satisfy the young prince's rather...unusual craving. Sources close to the royal family have confirmed that the tender boat was dispatched on a special mission to purchase a specific item, which left everyone wondering: what could possibly be so important that it warranted a trip ashore in Zakynthos?

The speculation is rife among locals and yachting enthusiasts alike, with some humorously suggesting that young George may have been craving something as mundane as ketchup or chicken nuggets. However, insiders insist that this was no ordinary request. "George required a specific dietary item which led to the tender going ashore in Zakynthos to purchase it," revealed one source, tantalizingly adding: "Nothing extravagant, just something particular."

Some locals on Zakynthos have half-jokingly speculated, George fancied a fast food treat and pointed out that it is one of only a handful of Greek islands that boasts a McDonald’s restaurant pictured: A McDonald's Big Mac burger

As we delved deeper into the mystery, The Scholarly Note discovered that George's love for spaghetti carbonara and his sister Charlotte's fondness for curry are well-documented. But could there be more to this craving than meets the eye? Were Prince William and Kate Middleton perhaps indulging their children with a rare treat from back home?

A retired civil servant who spotted the royal family on their superyacht in Mavrouna Bay near Ithaca revealed that Kate, Charlotte, and Louis were all on board at the time. Penelope Likoudi, 64, got up close and personal with the yacht when she was swimming in the secluded bay: "I literally shivered with excitement," she gushed. "I couldn't believe it. Now I wish I'd called out hello to them."

But what's perhaps even more intriguing is that the royal family didn't set foot on any of the islands during their sailing trip, a decision likely taken due to security concerns. Instead, they made use of a private beach area at the back of the yacht, where they swam and played with inflatables and paddleboards.

Last week the Daily Mail revealed that a retired civil servant spotted some of the royal party ¿ Kate, Charlotte and Louis ¿ on their superyacht off the coast of Ithaca, a tiny island 25 minutes by ferry from Kefalonia (pictured)

While Princess Diana was famously known for treating her children to fast food treats when they were younger – including burgers and KFC – Kate has always been more inclined towards healthy eating. So what exactly did young George want? Was it a guilty pleasure or just a momentary lapse of reason?

We turned to the manager of the McDonald's restaurant in Laganas, Zakynthos, for answers. "It is company policy not to divulge any information regarding our clients," he said curtly, leaving us with more questions than answers.

The Scholary Note has uncovered that a McDonald's outlet on Zakynthos does exist – one of only a handful on the Greek islands. Could it be possible that Prince George and his family were craving something from the Golden Arches? The thought of the royal children enjoying Big Macs, fries, or chicken nuggets in the picturesque setting of Zakynthos has left everyone in stitches.

As the mystery continues to unravel, one thing is certain – Prince George's craving will be remembered as one of the most intriguing moments in recent royal history.
