Prince William and Kate settle into newlywed life

By Alexandra Heilbron on May 4, 2011 | 9 Comments


Following the most talked about wedding in years, Prince William and Catherine settled down at their secluded home in Anglesey, North Wales. They managed to stay out of the public eye while enjoying a three-day honeymoon together before returning to their rental home on Tuesday night. They’re planning to take a longer honeymoon at a later date, but no details or dates have been disclosed. William has returned to his job as a Royal Air Force search and rescue pilot and Catherine is focusing on being a housewife and supporting William in his official duties. The newlyweds, who have decided not to have any household staff, will be visiting Canada from June 30 to July 8, 2011. ~Alexandra Heilbron

    Wish them luck. Not to be negative cause i feel royals have a better chance at staying together..but we all know even that isn’t a certainty. Good luck and she is gorgeous.

    He’s back at work already? They don’t have servants? Doesn’t sound like being royal is all that great.

    I love their story. Can’t wait for more and can’t wait for their kids – they will be gorgeous. The Blood line got a little better with Diana.

    LOL! I thought the same thing as Andrea when I read that! If a Prince and Princess can’t take time for a proper honeymoon there’s a problem!

    So glad to have William & Kate back home on Anglesey -it’s such a lovely time of year to be living here and there’s a real sense of hope and excitement in the air. We’re really proud to have the Royal couple as fellow Anglesonians and feel very protective over them! Hopefully they’ll be given the space and respect to continue their lives as ‘normally’ as possible.

    Thanks for the local perspective True Retreats! Definitely wish them good luck in their married life.

    You people are ridiculous! How many people don’t take honeymoons. And here are two people that will be travelling their entire life. Are they not entitled to a “stay”cation. For the love of duck!

    Hey, William had to get back to work, come on, he has bills to pay and now has a wife to support. That wedding must have cost a lot looking at those pictures. 🙂
