Harry and Meghan delay honeymoon to plan first public appearance at Prince Charles 70th party
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have delayed their honeymoon in order to celebrate the Prince of Wales' 70th birthday garden party tomorrow.
The newlyweds decided not to travel overseas immediately after their wedding on Saturday, relaxing at Windsor Castle before slipping away on Sunday morning.
On Tuesday, they will be back at work at Buckingham Palace, meeting thousands of guests at a party celebrating the charities and patronages the Prince of Wales has dedicated his adult life to.
The gesture, which will no doubt be warmly welcomed by the Prince, follows his unexpected role at the Royal wedding, in which he accompanied Ms Markle up the aisle in the absence of her own father.

The Prince drew praise from onlookers for appearing to take Doria Ragland, the mother of the bride who attended on her own, under his wing.
The Duke and Duchess are understood to be planning to sneak away on honeymoon later this month, taking time to celebrate their marriage away from the public eye.
They are expected to choose a Commonwealth country where they can find privacy, having conducted part of their early relationship in Botswana.
The Duke set high romantic standards for himself when he whisked his new bride away just a few weeks after their first date.

Speaking after their engagement, the Duke said: "I managed to persuade her to come and join me in Botswana. And we camped out with each other under the stars. She came and joined me for five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic.
"So then we were really by ourselves, which was crucial to me to make sure that we had a chance to get to know each other."
