Prince William and Kate Middleton plan Middle-Eastern honeymoon
Their honeymoon destination is still officially a closely guarded secret, but Prince William and Kate Middleton are believed to be planning a trip to Jordan for their post-wedding get-away.
The couple will honeymoon for two weeks and are understood to have booked a week-long tour of southern Jordan, taking in some of the country’s most famous sites, including the ancient city of Petra and the Wadi Rum desert valley.
The newlyweds will leave London for their honeymoon the day after the wedding on April 29, and are believed to be considering several options for their break, with Jordan thought to be their preferred foreign destination.
They may also spend part of it at one of the Royal estates, possibly Balmoral, the Queen’s estate in Scotland.
While the couple will be hoping for some privacy following their marriage, which will be attended by 1,900 guests and watched by a global television audience of two billion, they are expected to travel with a bolstered team of royal protection officers if they head to Jordan, to ensure their security.
Parts of the country remain volatile after the recent unrest across the Middle East and there have been protests in the capital of Amman this week calling for political and economic reform.
