William and Kate: The First Year Page #3

---

Simpsons' car is?'

I couldn't help myself.

I said, 'I think it's royal blue.'

He laughed his head off

when I said that.

He stayed right until the very end.

I went over and thanked him

for coming in

and he thanked me for a lovely

evening

and said we'd see him again.

And the canny landlord

could spot an opportunity when it

presented itself.

I told everybody that Prince William

had been

and I told them that he was coming

the following Thursday as well.

You didn't know. Which I didn't know

whether it was true or not.

The following Thursday,

the pub was very busy as well.

Kate and William enjoy life

in Anglesey

away from their royal duties,

but it won't last forever.

Things will change when they move

to London,

which will happen probably

at some point in 2013.

It's when they will have to give up

their private part of their lives

and they will become full-time

working royals.

For the time being, they can enjoy

some quality time in Wales.

I think this is a wonderful

opportunity for them both

to have a life that is as normal as

possible.

I think that this is,

sadly for them,

probably the short span

of their life

when they can really be like a

normal person.

Two weeks into married life,

the newlyweds swapped the rugged

beaches of Anglesey

for their top-secret honeymoon

destination...

the tropical beaches

of the Seychelles.

They'd said beforehand that they

wanted to go somewhere hot,

a young person's destination.

The Seychelles fitted the bill.

This was something a bit different,

a bit younger,

more akin to what people of their

generation with a bit of money

would do for a honeymoon.

They went to the Seychelles in 2007,

post their temporary breakup.

They'd had a fabulous time.

William was reported to have said it

was the best holiday he'd ever had.

I think they were keen

to go back somewhere that had

really positive memories for them.

The couple settled down in their

exclusive 4,000 a night villa

on the uber-fashionable

North Island.

What was great is that they could be

safe and secure

in a very remote part of the world

on a little island.

What more could you want?

After 10 days of taking in the sun,

it was back to Britain,

and back to business.

The president and his wife Michelle

were welcomed by the Queen and

Prince Philip.

They later met the

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Here was a moment that illustrated

the extraordinary leap she'd taken

from being an ordinary member

of the public

to suddenly meeting the most

powerful man in the world,

the president of the United States.

She looked great,

she was suntanned, glowing.

I just love the fact she wore a
