| Woman's Day controversial cover |
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are said to be absolutely 'furious' after an
Australian magazine published private pictures of the royal couple’s honeymoon in Seychelles last year.
Apparently, the Aussie monthly
magazine 'Woman's Day' took the controversial decision to publish the 'world
exclusive' photographs of Kate and Wills, despite knowing it would not be taken
well by the royals.
The magazine’s front page
features the royal couple baring a lot of flesh on the Seycelles beach during
their honeymoon last May. It is as yet not known how the publication got hold
of the exclusive pictures.
In the cover photograph, Prince
William is seen sporting a pair of colorful shorts; while Kate is seen attired
in a black bandeau bikini. The text besides the photograph states: ‘Wills and
Kate: Our island paradise - Their romantic getaway revealed.’

| Kate & Wills in Seychelles |
In one of the pictures published
inside the July 10,th 2012 issue, Wills and Kate are seen walking hand-in-hand
alongside the tranquil beach; while in another the royal couple is seen frolicking in the glorious blue seas of Seychelles.
In one of the pages is the line:
'The Seychelles
has deep significance for William and Kate. It was the setting for a
make-or-break holiday in 2007 after their split.'
Wills and Kate had flown off for
their honeymoon holiday in May last year, to the exclusive Seychelles North
Island, a few days after
their grand Westminster Abbey nuptials in April.
It was an opportunity for the
young couple to escape from the persistent media’s glare that surrounded them
and spend 10 days in each other’s company in total seclusion, for a truly
private vacation.
At that point the grapevine was
rife with reports that even Kate
Middleton had no inkling where Prince William was whisking her off to
and that the Duke had planned the whole Seychelles jaunt as a surprise.
Once Wills and Kate returned, the
happy newly weds expressed their gratitude to the Seychelles officials for 'a
memorable and special 10 days,' acknowledging that they had 'thoroughly enjoyed
their time together' on the island.
Apparently most newspapers knew
about the closely guarded secret location of Wills and Kate honeymoon before
they jetted off. However, after the royal couple’s request for privacy, the
media respecting their private time refrained from sending photographers to the
honeymoon destination.
Now a full fifteen months after
their wedding, Wills and Kate are understood to be feeling betrayed and upset
that the beach photographs of their honeymoon were chosen to be published by
the Australian magazine, especially of their ‘special time.’
Today a St. James’ Palace
spokesperson told news site Celebuzz: 'The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s
honeymoon was obviously a private occasion, and we would ask people to respect
their privacy.' The carefully worded statement from the Palace succinctly sums
up the deep sense of disappointment of the royal couple.
