Duchess Catherine won't be busting out her bikini just yet.

She and her new husband Prince William will not be jetting asap for their honeymoon, the Palace confirmed Saturday. Instead, Catherine, 29, and William, 28, will have some quality time in their native UK this weekend, and he'll return to work next week.
