The operation which lead to Osama bin Laden's death may have delayed Prince William and Kate Middleton's honeymoon.

A warning from the U.S. government about the special forces strike could have been behind the decision to delay the couple's getaway, Anthony Glees, director of the Centre for Security and Intelligence studies at the University of Buckingham, told the Daily Mail.

"'I would not be surprised if the reason the royal honeymoon was put off had to do with forewarning that this might be happening and that security for the young couple could not be guaranteed at this moment in time," he explained.

However, a spokesman for the British Palace downplayed the claims, stating the delay was a personal decision the royal couple made "weeks ago."
