Tourism authorities in the Maldives have sent an official invitation to Britain’s Prince William and his future wife Kate Middleton to travel to the Maldives for their honeymoon following the royal wedding, scheduled for April 29.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmed Naseem confirmed a formal invitation had been sent to British authorities, and that the Ministry was awaiting a response to the offer.
State Tourism Minister Thoyyib Waheed told Minivan News that the invite was sent through diplomatic channels in the hopes that the high-profile royal couple would opt to honeymoon in the country, an offer he claimed would be “a great honour for the Maldives” and its international reputation if accepted.
“It is a dream for any destination to be considered as a venue [for the royal honeymoon],” he said. “With this invite, we hope there is a possibility it may happen.”
