The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge leave Buckingham Palace Saturday for a private weekend.
Newlyweds Prince William and Catherine Middleton put off honeymoon
After a royal wedding that captured the attention the world over and broke internet viewing records, a honeymoon is next for Prince William and his new wife, Catherine Middleton, right?
Well, eventually. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have opted to hold off on a honeymoon, instead choosing to have a private weekend to themselves in the United Kingdom in an unknown location - because Prince William has to return to work as a search and rescue pilot next week.
"The Duke returns to work and their future honeymoon, which will be overseas, will not be disclosed in advance," a statement from Clarence House said.
So we'll just have to wait and see where the couple will spend their private getaway, another secret likely to be kept just as well as who was going to be designing Middleton's wedding dress.
Speaking of Middleton's fashion - the world got another glimpse of the new bride when photographers snapped photos of her and the Duke of Cambridge leaving Saturday by helicopter for their weekend alone.

The pair stepped out of the garden entrance to Buckingham Palace hand-in-hand with bright smiles - and the sun still shining.
Middleton, whose style will undoubtedly will be followed after the success of her wedding dress, was wearing a light blue dress, a dark jacket and wedge platform shoes. A cheerful Duke of Cambridge wore khaki/chino style pants with a faint blue shirt and dark jacket.
The style as they set off to their unknown location remained regal, but relaxed with the palace backdrop behind them was in contrast to the ornate outfits during the wedding as well as the fashion from the reception party that followed.

For the private nighttime reception Middleton was photographed standing next to Prince Charles' wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, wearing a white strapless gown with embellishments at the waist and a sweater - again from famed Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. The groom and his father also made an outfit change for the night - opting for formal dinner jackets. Other media outlets photographed maid of honor Pippa Middleton, Catherine Middleton's sister, in an emerald green dress with a plunging neckline.
And while the couple jet sets for some time away from the camera - one thing is clear. Catherine Middleton has impressed the masses and fashion experts with her fashion choices and soon enough, the lightbulbs will be flashing to capture her outfits for years to come.

iReporter's wedding adventure
It's been a crazy day for Royal Wedding iReporter Jason Sauter. Jason won the CNN iReport Royal Wedding Contest by reporting on his girlfriend Nancy Vidarte's mild obsession with the royal couple.
Jason and Nancy got a trip to London and a chance to watch the festivities from a prime spot near Buckingham Palace.
Getting to the wedding was a bit of an adventure.
Roads were closed in the area, so they had to abandon their taxi and walk past the throngs of spectators who had been camped out for days.
"We ended up getting a private escort by the police," Sauter said.
Jason and Nancy had a great view of Kate Middleton as she rode past on the way to Westminster Abbey. "To see her and the huge smile on her face was overwhelming," Nancy said. Jason said she was tearing up as she snapped a picture of the bride.
"She was basically speechless," he said. "And that's hard for her to do."
They also caught a glimpse of Queen Elizabeth II's yellow suit as the royal carriage and a small army of guards on horseback trotted by.
Nancy said people in the crowd were smiling and singing during the ceremony and she could tell that it was a huge event for them.
"I think everybody could feel the romance," she said, adding that people uncorked champagne when they heard "I now pronounce you man and wife.
