LOVESTRUCK Prince William and on-off girlfriend Kate Middleton touched down for their romantic holiday in the Seychelles and the ‘News of the World’ was the only paper there to greet them.
The on-off couple had hatched an elaborate plot-involving a four-mile exclusion zone to keep their intimate break top secret.
But the cloak and dagger operation was rumbled by a ‘News of the World’ photographer who exclusively captured the moment.
Kate and Wills arrived at the capital, Victoria, from different countries. They then took separate planes for the short flight to the exotic and secluded Desroches Island.
First to land, on a jet from Paris, was Kate, 25. She flew in at 7.15am and received no royal favours at the airport. Just like the other 250 passengers, she was herded through immigration and had to pick up her own luggage.
Then pushing her trolley for 500 years to a check-in desk, Kate had to wait a further 45 minutes for her internal flight to the Indian Ocean paradise.
Wills, 25, arrived on a flight from Kenya at 1.30pm. where it is believed he had spent a few days with old flame Jecca Craig’s family. He emerged from the plane wearing a baseball cap and was taken through the fast-track immigration with his protection officers.
He spent 10 minutes completing formalities before boarding a private jet to Desroches.
The week-long trip is being organized by the son of the Seychelles President, who is personally overseeing their stay. He has ensured they enjoy a week of tranquility by banning tourists and fisherman and by setting up an exclusion zone around the four-mile long island.
Wills and Kate are staying at a top hotel where their room comes equipped with a king-size bed, satellite TV and terrace. The break is expected to cost William and Kate more than £20,000.
The ‘News of the World’ first revealed last month the couple were planning to go on holiday as Wills tried to say ‘sorry’ for the heartache he caused during their split.
A local source said: “William and Kate spent Friday snorkeling on a coral reef. They plan to have a relaxing weekend and are due go fishing this week.”
