Under strict orders from the RCMP and the Royalty Protection branch (SO1) of the British Protection Command, we have had to keep our most recent guests secret and out of the media. Royals William and Kate have been hounded by the press since announcing their pregnancy, and William wanted to treat his new wife to a secret getaway Easter weekend where they could relax without all the public scrutiny. They decided on Newfoundland, relatively close enough to England for a quick trip, and settled on Ocean Delight after seeing all our press related to our Accommodator of the Year award. They knew that our remote cottages could give them just what they were looking for. Imagine our surprise when we learned that Kate has become a regular reader of Jerry’s Blog!
British Protection Command contacted us several weeks ago, and began making preparations to secure our Heart’s Delight location. The young couple arrived Friday morning, and enjoyed their welcome from Joe Friday and Murphy. We had a special gift basket ready, and they were very friendly and spent some time meeting and greeting our other guests. But we knew they wanted their space, so we left them alone to enjoy the Wonderful World of Whiteway. We know they took a hike and a marshmallow roast – we’ve always heard how down-to-earth they are, and it’s really true. They were truly wonderful guests, barely leaving a mess, and they gave us some Scottish brandy as a parting gift.
This was a private retreat, and not an official royal visit, but to our loyal blog readers, we’re letting you know that they won’t be leaving for their private jet until around noon. So if you need to come down to our house to borrow some sugar, you might catch a royal sighting!
Looks a little photoshopped to me, April fools prank?
Not telling! 😉
