The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have jetted off to enjoy their honeymoon and no details of the trip have been released to protect the newly married couple’s privacy.
Palace officials won’t say where Prince William and Kate Middleton have gone or for how long. There’s wide speculation in the British media that the pair is spending some time in the Seychelles, an island chain in the Indian Ocean about 1,600 kilometres off the eastern coast of Kenya.
The couple was engaged in Kenya last October and has visited the Seychelles before — both are former British colonies.
Later Tuesday, the Guardian newspaper reported on its website that the Seychelles tourist office confirmed the royal couple had arrived that morning and were headed to an undisclosed island — the archipelago is comprised of more than 115 islands.
William is on two weeks leave from his job as a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot but it’s not known if the couple will honeymoon for that length of time.
Prince William and Middleton were married April 29 at Westminster Abbey. After the event — watched by an estimated two billion people worldwide — the newlyweds made it clear they want some privacy.
They spent their first few days of married life at home, before William returned to work. They live on the Welsh island of Angelsey.
