Royal Honeymoons


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
According to a documentary Sonja and Haarald went camping in Norway

I've heard both that they spent their honeymoons in the Norwegian mountains, and I've heard that it was a Mexico and South America trip. Does anyone know for certain? Or was it some combination of the two?

On the documentary series 'A Royal Family' Sonja said that they went up in the mountains the day after the wedding after having breakfast with the wedding guests. Maybe they went overseas a few weeks or months later when they could get away for a longer time??
 
Filipe and Letizia: Spain
Joachim and Marie: Canada (if i'm not mistaken)

that's right, felipe and letizia visited cuenca and albarracin in spain, and then went to jordan (petra and aqaba).

They sailed about 10 days at Bora Bora and left from there, according to a rumour, to USA last week. They told to Aftonbladet that they will return to Sweden in August.
 
If would really be funny if one of the royal couples getting married played a joke on all those reporters who wouldn't leave them alone. One day it will happen. Send the reporters on wild goose chases all over the world. It would be funny if the reporter thought he or she was where the royal couple was and then someone popped out of nowhere and said "Got you." Got you is an American term for someone getting caught at something they shouldn't be doing. I can imagine that the reporter would be fuming but it would be funny.

LOL. News just broke today that then-Crown Prince Harald and Crown Princess Sonja traveled on passports with false names to prevent the media from figuring out where they were going on their honeymoon. The media thought they were on the royal yacht headed to Mexico, when, in fact, they flew to Hawaii.

what a coincidence. i guess if it's good for QE then it's the place to go! i guess they met them to greet them and congratulate them after the wedding. how exciting yet daunting must it have been for maxima to meet the queen during her honeymoon! although by that point she had already been to several high profile royal events, including her own wedding, so i assume she knew everything she had to know protocol-wise.
 
The Prince of Orange and Princess Máxima made a honeymoon in three stages:
- to Sankt Moritz in Switzerland, where the couple stayed at the châlet of "uncle Freddie" (Alfred Heineken)
- to Argentina, with visits to the family and to the immense countryside and nature
- to New Zealand (Huka Lodge), apparently having met the British royal couple

A true royal honeymoon, I would say... ;)
 
Does anyone know where Guillaume and Stephanie went?

The Princes of Asturias initiated their honeymoon in Cuenca, did a small tour for Spain before travelling to Petra. After Cuenca they were in Sos del Rey Católico, Zaragoza and San Sebastian.
There was never known exactly where they were after Jordan, but it is believed that they were in Asia and probably United States.

According to this article they were also in Fiji, in Wakaya Club and Spa (and later in 2012 again with their daugthers):

In 1893 Princes Mary of Teck and Prince George, Duke of York embarked for their honeymoon at Sandringham. I find this an interesting situation considering that Mary's first husband-to-be, Prince Albert Victor had died there.
