William Whisked his Beautiful Duchess off to the Seychelles for Honeymoon...

Most news sources are now reporting that the couple are holidaying on a private island in the Seychelles.  Maybe the royal favorite, Mustique, was too obvious a destination, but the couple's love of warm sandy beaches and bikini's is well documented and apparently the Seychelles won the honeymoon location. You can easily understand the alure.

The Seychelles is an island country comprised of some 115 islands northeast of Madagascar and Africa in the Indian Ocean.  It easily affords the privacy that the ducal couple crave and plenty of natural beauty on the side.

Kate and William have a history with the Seychelles.  It is on an island in the Seychelles that they relaxed after their high profile and painful split in 2007, and allegedly when they made the "pact" that they would one day marry. If the pact story is true, then it is so very appropriate for them to return to the place they really committed deeply to each other those years ago.  Even if the pact story is just a story, it is undeniable that the two were closer than ever after their split and never wavered from that day forward.  That reunion was very special and signaled the start of a stronger bond that ended at the altar in Westminster Abbey two weeks ago.  Returning to the same location would hold so many emotional ties and have special continuity.
