Highland fling for newlyweds
http://www.sina.com.cn 2005/04/12 17:11  Shanghai Daily

  Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall emerged from their honeymoon estate yesterday for a small church service attended by dozens of smiling Scottish villagers who braved blustery winds to greet the royal newlyweds.

  Driving into the Crathie Parish Church, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles waved to crowds as they pulled their Audi off to the side of the chapel and entered, as locals waved and snapped photos.

  Prince Charles wore a tartan kilt. His bride wore a matching fuchsia hat and coat.

  Unlike his first honeymoon with the late Princess Diana, that was spent aboard a yacht in the Mediterranean, Charles and Camilla - officially the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay when they are in Scotland - are staying at Birkhall, a cozy hunting lodge he inherited from his grandmother.

  The prince has described the early 18th-century home on the royal Balmoral estate as "a unique haven of coziness and character."

  Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, bought Birkhall and it became the Balmoral residence of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, who died in 2002.

  The honeymooners are to stay about 10 days on the estate.
