Prince William & Kate get pricey yacht. Prince William, Kate Middleton Charter $3.2 Million Yacht For Sightseeing. It must be nice to be royalty. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, while on their Seychelles honeymoon, have reportedly rented a $3.2 million yacht for sightseeing around the islands.

The dynamic duo, no strangers to water sports (have you seen Kate in a bikini?!), have chartered the Sea Stream, which is said to be the fastest luxury crewed boat in the Seychelles, according to our AOL Travel counterparts in the U.K.


The boat costs around $42,000 a week to hire and comes equipped with jet skis and scuba diving gear. William had said while he was in Australia earlier this year that he wanted to scuba dive on his honeymoon.

The royals dined like, well, royalty while on board, too. They were said to eat sushi, Parma ham and other delicious bites while aboard.

Check out incredible photos of the boat here.

The royal honeymoon is no cheap affair. The villa that the newlyweds are reportedly staying in costs a whopping $6,500 per night.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have been named husband and wife by the Archbishop of Canterbury at Westminster Abbey.

Here are the top 20 moments from the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on Friday. See our live blog for continued coverage.

• Clarence House announced Prince William and his bride would leave Westminster Abbey in the same open topped horse-drawn carriage used by the Prince and Princess of Wales on their wedding day in 1981 – meaning that come rain or shine, crowds would be able to clearly see the married couple.

• The Queen gave the Royal couple the titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, also naming her grandson Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus, titles his bride would also inherit after the ceremony.

• As crowds gathered in Westminster, the crew of the International Space Station broadcast pre-recorded greetings to the Royal couple, from hundreds of miles above the surface of the Earth
• The Archbishop of Canterbury promised the ceremony would be “very special” to the bride and groom, adding that they seemed to him a “deeply sensible” and “realistic” couple.


• Crowds outside went into a frenzy as celebrity guests, including Victoria Beckham – who wore one of her own dresses – her husband David (who wore his OBE medal on the wrong lapel) and Elton John arrived at the abbey.

• Villagers from Kate Middleton’s home in Bucklebury held a quaint fete to celebrate the most momentous occasion in their small community’s history.

• Boris Johnson confirmed he would bestow a tandem Boris Bike on the couple as a wedding gift – cue a video of what that might look like.

• David Cameron arrived at Westminster Abbey wearing tails, after confusion earlier this week about whether the Prime Minister would dress down for the occasion due to fears over his image.

• The PM disclosed how he camped out on the streets to celebrate Prince Charles and Diana Spencer’s wedding in 1981.

• Prince William and his best man Prince Harry left Clarence House to a raucous reception from the public. The groom was resplendent in the full dress of the Irish Guards with RAF wings on his sash, while his brother wore black.

• Police sealed off an area around a suspicious car near the Goring hotel, where the bride’s family was staying, but the situation was resolved shortly afterwards.

• After Princes William and Harry arrived at the abbey, so did the Queen, wearing a yellow Angela Kelly-designed single crepe wool primrose dress.

• As Kate Middleton’s car pulled away from the Goring Hotel it was confirmed that she was, as suspected, wearing Sarah Burton, artistic director of Alexander McQueen, with a v-neck and lace long sleeves.

• The bride also wore a diamond tiara previously worn by Queen Mary, the Queen Mother, the Queen and the Princess Royal.

• As she arrived next to him on the aisle, Prince William could be seen remarking to Kate: “You look stunning, babe”, and joking to his father-in-law: “Just a small family affair!”

• During a service conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Prince William said “I will” clearly and firmly, while his bride spoke more quietly, apparently slightly overcome with emotion as the couple were married.

• Rousing choruses of Jerusalem and the National Anthem inside the abbey are echoed by crowds enjoying a brief period of sunshine in the streets outside.

• The couple left the abbey hand in hand and rode in the sunshine past cheering crowds to Buckingham Palace, where crowds converged to watch their first kiss as a married couple.

• As mounted guards accompanied the couple’s open-topped carriage, one rider lost control and fell from his saddle, while the horse bolted up Whitehall and past Downing Street.

• Anarchists’ plans to tarnish the wedding with a demonstration at Soho Square failed to spoil the day, with only 10 or so gathering for their so-called “zombie wedding” protest.

After a kiss that thrilled the nation, Prince William drove full throttle into the nation's affections as he took his new wife on an unexpected drive to Clarence House.
They left their Buckingham Palace reception in Prince Charles's open-top Aston Martin with 'Just wed' on the number plate.
It was the fitting climax to what had already been a remarkable day - and it was the common touch his mother Diana would have been proud of.
As the crowds roared, the couple emerged in the 38-year-old classic car with a yellow RAF rescue helicopter flying overhead.
The vehicle had been given to Charles as a gift when he turned 21. The couple drove round the front of the Palace before returning to the private reception.
They emerged from the Palace two hours after stepping out on the balcony and marked their marriage with their first public kiss.
But the first public embrace of William and his bride Catherine was so fleeting that you would have missed it if you had blinked.

The loving couple leaned in for a brief, but loving kiss, after which he smiled broadly while she giggled. The crowd in The Mall below, chanting ‘We want Kate, We want Kate’ simply roared with delight.
Then, as an RAF flypast was sweeping towards the palace, William whispered to Kate and leaned forward for a second, slightly more lingering kiss.
This was the fairytale a million people had taken to the streets of London to see today. And they were not disappointed.
Despite predictions that rain would put a dampener on the big day, it stayed dry and the sun even managed to poke its head out.
In a stunning ivory gown with lace applique floral detail designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen, Kate walked up the red carpeted aisle a commoner.
At Westminster Abbey’s altar she became a royal.
She clutched a bunch of white flowers as she embarked on the short drive to Westminster Abbey, before starting her three-minute walk up the aisle to be with her groom.
