Royal Couple at Sea Off Azores

TERCEIRA, Azores Islands — Prince Andrew and his bride cruised today under balmy skies somewhere off this verdant mid-Atlantic island, but local officials said the British royal couple’s exact whereabouts were being kept secret.

Queen Elizabeth II’s second son and the former Sarah Ferguson, now the Duke and Duchess of York, arrived at the joint Portuguese-U.S. Lajes Air Base in Terceira on Wednesday evening after a lavish London wedding. They quickly boarded the royal yacht Britannia in the nearby port of Praia da Vitoria for a five-day cruise around this nine-island Portuguese archipelago.
