Wills and Kate jet off again (minus baby): Couple head off for 'second honeymoon' in the Maldives

She's not long back from Mustique, but the Duchess of Cambridge will be able to top up her tan nicely thanks to another break – this time in the Maldives without her baby.
She and William have jetted out on what has been billed as a second honeymoon after they left George at home with her parents.
The couple arrived in the Maldivian capital, Male, on a British Airways flight yesterday, accompanied by several taxpayer funded Scotland Yard detectives.



They were immediately whisked from the First Class cabin into a VIP lounge before transferring on to a private hydroplane which whisked them off to a paradise isle.
The Duke and Duchess are staying at one of the most exclusive resorts in the Indian Ocean –  the five star Cheval Blanc Randheli Hotel on Noonu Atoll.

The holiday comes just a month before the couple embark on a three-week tour of New Zealand and Australia – this time accompanied by George.
