After waking together for the first time as husband and wife, thenew Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced yesterday that they werepostponing their honeymoon and that the Prince would be going backto work next week like most of the rest of us.

The couple left Buckingham Palace for a weekend break at anundisclosed location in Britain, after which Prince William willreturn to his job as a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot. They areexpected to leave for an overseas honeymoon in the next fortnight,the location of which, despite feverish speculation, remains secret.

After the pomp of the Palace, the Middleton family returned home.Leaving the Goring Hotel, Kate's mother Carole told the crowd: "Wehad a wonderful time." Arriving back at their house in Bucklebury,Berkshire, Kate's brother, James, led the way, quickly followed byKate's mother and sister, Pippa, in a Land Rover Freelander.

Widely considered to have come perilously close to stealing theshow on Friday, Pippa, smiling broadly and sporting a large pair ofArmani sunglasses, was the subject of fevered, not to say over-enthusiastic speculations as to her future. These ranged fromhooking up with Prince Harry to any number of musings on some sortof future in the world of fashion.

More than 24 million viewers in Britain watched BBC1 and ITV1coverage of the wedding, broadcasters said yesterday. The BBC gotthe majority of viewers, with 67.3 per cent of the audience. ITV1had a peak of 6.1 million viewers when the ceremony was under way.

While official photographs of the wedding were being released,internet shops were already seeing soaring custom in outfits similarto those worn at the wedding. One internet retailer reported thatclothes by Alexander McQueen had jumped into its top 40 searchterms.

Yesterday, police charged five of the 55 people arrested inLondon during Friday's royal wedding celebrations, after ScotlandYard hailed the day as an "amazing success". The charges were forbeing equipped to cause criminal damage; a racially aggravatedoffence; possession of an offensive weapon; public order; and commonassault. Assistant Commissioner Lynne Owens said her 5,000 officersshould be "immensely proud" of their role in the "happy and safe"event, but protest groups claimed some of the pre-emptive arrestswere heavy handed.
