After the tragic ending to the history of Princess Diana, the nuptial knot uniting Prince William and Kate seems mark a new beginning for the royal family of Britain. Kate and William took a wine coloured helicopter that was waiting near Buckingham Palace to fly them out to their short weekend getaway after which Prince William will return to his job of a rescue and search pilot on Monday.
There has been no end to the speculation over which is going to be the honeymoon spot. From Seychelles and Australia to the Greek island of Corfu and Caribbean island of Mustique all these have been considered as suggestions and favourites for honeymoon spots of the couple.
However, it has been pre-decided not to reveal the destination of the royal couple's honeymoon in advance. The speculation over the honeymoon destination simply reflects the pressure that the forthcoming King and Queen of England will have to face as they ascend the throne after Prince Charles.
Three billion people across the world observed the marriage held at London's Westminster Abbey. The whole country watched in awe as a commoner married the prince after almost 350 years.

Countless pilgrims spent the entire night on the street to take part in the holy occasion. The whole Vatican area was sealed off as stewards marshaled the massive crowd toward St Peter’s Basilica, which was adorned with posters and pictures of the late pope.
As per the estimation over 200,000 people were present at the prayer vigil in the Circus Maximus on Saturday evening, the vast oval which was once used by the ancient Romans to arrange chariot races. Many Rome churches kept their door open to provide the pilgrims a space to pray.
At the crowd due to start at 0800 GMT Benedict will utter a Latin formula declaring one of the most popular popes in history a “blessed” of the Church.
A place of honor has been held in reserve for Sister Marie Simon-Pierre Normand. She was a French nun who suffered from Parkins [...]
