we just can t get enough of this, carol. we love it. we talked to clarence house a short white ago. they said the duke and dutchess of cambridge left on monday for their money moon. they are in the indian soon and it is the media speculation that it is the seachelle islands. this is where you want to be right now. you have got these incredibly white, sandy beaches. you have this beautiful blue turquoise blue water and coconut groves. some media reports say they have a private island and a private chef and they are going to enjoy the solitude and each other away from the prying eyes of the media, carol. sounds nice to me. pippa, the princess s sister, is sort of like taking over the tabloids. people aren t even talking to
