Prince William Drives His Bride Out of Buckingham Palace

The carriage was nice, but Prince William and Catherine Middletonhave moved on – literally. 

The newlyweds traded in their horse-drawn transportation for an Aston Martin convertible complete with a classic license plate: "JU5T WED." 

Driving away from Buckingham Palace through the Mall Friday afternoon – William in the driver's seat – the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge smiled and waved to well-wishers.
On the front of the vehicle was a red letter "L" – which stands for "learners permit." 

Dr. David Livingstone, head of St. Andrew's School in Pangbourne, Berkshire, where Kate went to elementary school, remarked: "We were all speculating – he can fly a helicopter, but can he start the car?" 

Next stop for the newlyweds: Prince Charles is throwing a dinner dance at 7 p.m. London time for about 300 guests at the palace.
