Punjab News One: April 2011

AFTER warming billions of hearts by taking his new wife on an unexpected spin in an open-top sportscar, Prince William has one last surprise up his sleeve: the honeymoon destination.

William has a fortnight's leave from his job as an RAF Search and Rescue helicopter pilot and has reportedly not even told his new wife where they are going.

Prince Harry is understood to have organised a recovery breakfast for Saturday morning before the newlyweds jet off to an exotic destination, with rumoured possibilities including Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Jordan or the Scilly Isles.

Earlier, the beaming newlyweds left their Buckingham Palace reception in Prince Charle's blue Aston Martin Volante and drove to nearby Clarence House for a few hours repose before their wedding dinner.

A learner plate was tied to the front of car, which belongs to Prince Charles, and trailing from the back were heart-shaped balloons, all courtesy of best man Prince Harry.

The drive-yourself break reflected the relaxed and intimate spirit of the day, even if their wedding service at Westminster Abbey was watched worldwide by some two billion people and another one million lined the streets of London in celebration.
