Duchess of Cambridge Kate takes up life as wife of an RAF pilot

The Duchess of Cambridge is preparing to start her life as the wife of an RAF pilot, as Prince William goes back to work.

Kate, 29, and William, 28, returned to their rented farmhouse on Anglesey following their three-day mini-honeymoon at a secret location in the UK, The Telegraph reported.

And as William returns to his search and rescue squadron at RAF Valley later this week, Kate will get on with the housework at their marital home, where they have no servants or staff.

St James's Palace has made it clear that the Duchess's primary role for the immediate future will be as an officer's wife, supporting Prince William both at home and when he carries out official engagements.

A royal source said the couple would be spending the next few days at home on Anglesey.
