Canterbury

One of the most poignant and tragic royal love stories of all had its beginnings in Canterbury. In 1625, King Charles I wed Henrietta Maria of France here, the start of a marriage that would see the new queen stay loyal to her husband throughout a civil war that led to his execution.

You can see St. Augustine's Abbey, linked to this romantic royal couple, as well as visit the cathedral, the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The present incumbent, Justin Welby, officiated at Harry and Meghan's royal wedding.
