London: Is it Kenya, or the Caribbean or for that matter, the Seychelles? Mum is the word as to where the newly-weds, Britain’s Prince William and Kate, are headed for their honeymoon bliss. But all that trickled in from St James’s Palace on Tuesday was that the royal couple has set off for a delayed honeymoon following their wedding last month. The couple flew out on Monday, a royal source said, but no details were given of their destination, other than that it was outside Britain. “They have left for their honeymoon and the couple have asked for their privacy to be respected ..,” a spokesman for William said.

The Daily Mirror said on Tuesday the couple had arrived in the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. Their wedding on April 29 attracted about a million well-wishers onto the streets of London and a global TV audience estimated by media to be as high as 2.4 billion. The couple, now officially known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, caused a surprise the day after their marriage when they said they were not leaving immediately on honeymoon. Instead, William returned to work as a Royal Air Force search and rescue helicopter pilot and Kate was spotted pushing a shopping trolley in a supermarket car park near their home in Anglesey, Wales.
