After the wedding

For Prince William and his Catherine, the wedding day after the party in the palace was probably romantically beautiful. Many of the guests, however, more or less abruptly had to bid farewell to the bride and groom and London. The duties called - private as well as official:

Stressed by deadline pressure, Crown Princess Victoria Sweden and Prince Daniel flew to Stockholm. The next party was waiting there: King Carl Gustaf had his 65th birthday. That meant winking wave from the palace balcony and watching good-bye as Mr. Papa gathered flowers and presents from children.

Crown Prince Felipe of Spain and Letizia, on the other hand, flew to Rome to see the beatification of Pope John Paul II at the Vatican. At the audience of Pope Benedict, they then met Luxembourg's Grand Duke Henri and Maria Teresa again. The two also came directly from the wedding of Prince William .

Things were happier with Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and Crown Princess Máxima . There was the duty: to assist Mother Queen Beatrix to survive the commotion on Queen's Day. The queen is already 73, and sometimes the whirlwind gets a little too much.

Contrary to plans, the newlywed Duchess of Cambridge, as Kate is now officially titled in the United Kingdom, also started her day of marriage. She learned that her sweetie, William, has to spend ten weeks serving as a rescuer on Falkland Island in late summer. This means a long separation, the first test of the young marriage ..
