Newlyweds William and Kate flew out of Buckingham Palace this morning to spend the weekend together at a private location in the UK.
The couple – whose official title is now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – will not go on honeymoon this weekend, and Prince William will be back at work on Monday.
After spending their first night as a married couple together at the Palace, Kate and William emerged hand in hand from the palace's garden entrance, and strolled to where the helicopter was waiting for them.
Kate was dressed in a light blue dress, dark jacket and platform shoes, while he had on a pale blue shirt and navy jacket - a casual look compared to yesterday’s formal affair.
They are expected to go on a two-week honeymoon to an undisclosed foreign location at a later date.
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.
On Friday night William and Kate and 300 close family and friends partied until the early hours at Buckingham Palace to celebrate their marriage. Guests included the Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall and even the Duke's uncle Earl Spencer was said to have been there for part of the event.
Kate changed for the evening dinner and dance from her stunning wedding gown by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen into another stylish dress by the same designer. The royal looked glamorous in a strapless white satin gazar evening gown with a circle skirt and diamante embroidered detail round the waist. She also wore a white angora bolero cardigan.
Likely honeymoon destinations for the newlyweds could include Africa - a continent the Duke has a deep affection for. The second in line to the throne could take his wife to countries like Botswana, or Kenya where he proposed to Kate.
There has been speculation that a secluded Caribbean island may be another option.
