Britain's most glamorous royal couple is spending this week on an island — just not the kind of island everyone expected.It's not a private honeymoon retreat in the Caribbean or the Seychelles, but Anglesey, a windswept speck of land just off the coast of northwest Wales where William works as a helicopter rescue pilot at the Royal Air Force Valley base.
And, despite all the conspiracy theories, it's not because of Osama bin Laden's death early Monday in Pakistan. Although there has been heated speculation that the U.S. military operation to find the al-Qaida leader was behind Prince William and Kate Middleton's decision to remain in the U.K. after their wedding Friday, a palace spokesman said the couple had made the decision to stay "weeks ago."
So instead of suntan lotion and lazy dips in an azure-blue sea, it's back to work just days after the couple's picture-perfect wedding captivated much of the world. Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge, does the couple's shopping while William trains and works on the base.
