Prince William and Catherine: No Honeymoon Right Away

William and Kate woke up as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Saturday morning – and headed off for a little privacy. 

After spending the first night of their married life at Buckingham Palace following an evening of partying, the newlyweds were seen strolling the Palace grounds hand in hand, thanking staff before they were whisked away by helicopter. 

And while she may be royalty now, the Duchess made a very down-to-earth footwear decision: She wore the same wedges Saturday morning as she did for her wedding rehearsal just a few days before. 

Only 24 hours earlier, the couple had been been making separate departures, en route to Westminster Abbey for their wedding. 


But what of their top-secret honyemoon? 

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen not to depart for a honeymoon immediately," the Palace said in a press release. 

"Instead, after spending the weekend privately in the United Kingdom, The Duke will return to work as a Search and Rescue pilot next week. The locations of both their private weekend and their future honeymoon, which will be overseas, will not be disclosed in advance." 

As for the father of the groom, Prince Charles, he was seen Saturday morning taking the Aston Martin – one of the big stars of yesterday's show – for a morning drive. 

A source tells PEOPLE, "Charles pulled out of Clarence House around 10 a.m. in his Aston Martin and zipped over to Buckingham palace to see the couple off. He looked very pleased." 

Pippa Middleton's Party Gown Is Gorgeous in Green

Like her sisterDuchess Catherine, who donned a second wedding dress on Friday evening after theroyal wedding, Pippa Middleton also changed into another gown for the post-reception party. 

While Pippa, who served as maid of honor, also wore a dress by Alexander McQueen creative director Sarah Burtonto the ceremony, she chose designer Alice Temperley to make a custom look for the evening's festivities. 

Pippa wore an emerald green Temperley London gown to the dinner dance hosted by Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace.

"I was honored that Ms. Pippa Middleton asked me to design her dress for the Royal Wedding evening reception," Temperley said Friday. "Pippa was a delight to work with and knows exactly what she likes. She loved the green color, which looks great on her skin tone. The dress was designed especially for her with a fantastic open back and a full skirt for dancing in." 

She completed the look by complimenting the gown with silver Aruna Sethheels. 

Aside from Kate Middleton, who was photographed in a Temperley London dress last year, young celebs from Isla Fisher to Emma Roberts have recently been spotted in the designer's party-perfect frocks. 

Pippa's pick is especially fitting since the Queen royally appointed the designer. Temperley was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire for her services to the fashion industry in March 2011. 

Official Royal Wedding Portraits Revealed

As the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were whisked by helicopter to a secret weekend destination, the palace released three official Royal Wedding photographs. 
The images were taken by Hugo Bernand in the Throne Room of Buckingham Palace on Friday afternoon – shortly after Prince William made Kate Middleton his wife.

Of course, there is a main image of the newlyweds. But even more fun, is an adorable one with the children of the bridal party including: The Hon. Margarita Armstrong-Jones, Miss Eliza Lopes, Miss Grace van Cutsem, Lady Louise Windsor, Master Tom Pettifer, Master William Lowther-Pinkerton. 
The now-merged family is featured in entirety in the final shot, with everyone from Queen Elizabeth II to Carole Middleton.

So very regal! 

Catherine Middleton Wears Second Wedding Dress

The Duchess of Cambridge's regalAlexander McQueen wedding gown was, well, fit for a princess, but her second dress of the day – also a McQueen creation – was definitely meant for a party. 

After a long day that started with hair and makeup at 6:30 a.m., wound into the hour-long ceremony and procession, featuredtwo very public kissesand culminated with aBuckingham Palace reception for 650 hosted by the Queen, Kate found time to change before heading off to the second post-wedding bash of the day. 

Following a brief rest at Prince Charles's home, Kate slipped into another dress designed by McQueen creative director Sarah Burton: a white satin strapless evening gown with a circle skirt and diamante detailing around the waist. She topped the look with a simple white shrug, warming her up in the breezy 60-degree weather. 

Not to be outdone, The Duke of Cambridge pulled a quick change, too: William set aside his scarlet colonel uniform in favor of a dapper black tuxedo. Prince Charles, his wife Camilla Parker Bowles and Kate's sister Pippa all stepped out in colorful new outfits, too. 

After regrouping, William and Kate returned to Buckingham Palace, where Prince Charles is throwing the couple – and 300 guests – a festive dinner dance. After spending their first night as newlyweds in the stately palace, they'll likely jet off on their honeymoon on Saturday.

Priest Does Cartwheels in Westminster Abbey

The royal wedding had one man doing cartwheels – literally. 

A priest, dressed in a black gown and clerical collar, preformed two cartwheels down the aisle at Westminster Abbey following the nuptials of Prince William andKate Middleton. 

After most of the guests had cleared out, the church official was walking down the red carpet when he broke out in a fit of acrobatics, presumably moved by the festive occasion. 

What the man didn't realize was that Sky News still had their cameras rolling and caught the whole thing on tape. 

Prince William & Kate Middleton's Reception Was 'Very Cozy,' Says a Guest

While the royal wedding was a hot ticket, the Queen's reception was an even more exclusive affair. 

Roughly 650 guests gathered at Buckingham Place to celebrate Prince William and Catherine Middleton after the couple exchanged vows at Westminster Abbey on Friday. 

"It was very cozy," says Alex van Straubenzee, father of the late Henry van Straubenzee, a close friend of William's. "There was a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. There were lots of people there – even in a place as big as Buckingham Palace. I won't say it was informal, but everyone was having a wonderful time." 

After guests mingled with the royals, both Prince Charles and Prince William gave touching speeches. 

"It was a very happy scene," a male guest told PEOPLE. "We cut the cake, and then Charles gave a lovely speech about his son and spoke about him in a very lovely way." 


While guests nibbled on canapés, such as Cornish crab salad and quail eggs, the newlyweds were toasted with Pol Roger NV Brut Reserve champagne. For dessert, partygoers had their choice of two wedding cakes – a traditional fruit cake, as well as a chocolate biscuit cake requested by Prince William. 

"What I found amazing was the ability for the royal family to wander into a room with 600 people and just say thank you [to so many of them]," David Livingstone, Head of St. Andrew's School told PEOPLE. "To be able to just go in, talk very freely and move on."

Wedding Was a Dream

As for the ceremony itself, guests couldn't say enough good things about the momentous event. From the beautiful setting and music to the crowd reaction and the poised bride and groom, many in attendance were moved by the experience. 

"It was a bit of a dream; what an amazing thing to be a part of," Garth Thomas, a rugby player and friend of the groom, told ITV. "[The bride] was stunning, absolutely beautiful. Actually, it was almost a fairy-tale – but it was real." 

The fairy-tale continued as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge drove away from the palace in an Aston Martin convertible. 

But the celebration doesn't stop there. Prince Charles is throwing the newlyweds a dinner dance at the palace this evening.
