Honeymoon postponed
In an earlier post, I reported that the newlywed British royals William and Kate would be spending their honeymoon in Jordan. Sunday's JPost reported (print edition only) that the honeymoon is postponed because William has to fly some search and rescue missions this week. As it turns out, that excuse is every bit as flimsy as it sounds. The Sunday Telegraph reports that the real reason the honeymoon has been postponed is security. The sudden change, announced on Saturday, came despite aides having said consistently that the honeymoon would immediately follow the wedding, and Miss Middleton shopping for sundresses and bikinis last week.
There was speculation it may have been prompted by security concerns.
The couple were originally believed to have booked a honeymoon in Jordan, where the Duchess lived for two years as a child.
The trip was thought to have included visits to the Wadi-Rum desert and the ancient city of Petra.
However, potential security hazards surrounding the continuing unrest throughout the Middle East may have prompted them to rethink their plans.
The couple left Buckingham Palace on Saturday morning after an evening reception on Friday night that lasted until after 3am.
The article goes on to say that they plan to take the trip overseas [to Jordan - unless they now change it] within a month. I doubt anything will improve there in the next month. If anything, it's only likely to get worse.I said they should have come to Israel. His mother, the late Princess Diana, would have approved.
