This August 2002 file photo shows Balmoral Castle, near Ballater in the Scottish Highlands. In real estate, it's location, location, location. For royal honeymooners, it's privacy, privacy, privacy.

They would likely combine a stay in Scotland, a beautiful spot but with iffy weather, with a visit to a reliably sunny locale, royal experts believe.(AP Photo/Martin Cleaver)
