Prince William (R) and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, returned from their honeymoon on Saturday.

Newlyweds Prince William and Kate Middleton have just returned home from a sun-kissed honeymoon in the Seychelles.

The pair spent 10 private days together on the secluded North Island in the Indian Ocean archipelago, the palace confirmed Saturday.

"The couple thoroughly enjoyed their time together, and they are grateful to the Seychelles Government for their assistance in making the honeymoon such a memorable and special ten days," a spokesman for the royal family said.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge left for vacation a few days after their April 29 wedding in London's Westminster Abbey.

Prince William briefly returned to work as an RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot before whisking his new bride away to the peaceful, idyllic island away from the media spotlight.

The Seychelles government issued a statement saying it was honored to have hosted the couple and a coastguard helped protect their privacy.

On their last day, the royals invited the Coast Guard ashore to personally say thank you.

"They left happy and clearly content with their stay," said Alain St. Ange, the head of the Seychelles tourism board who saw the couple leave on Friday.
