A TINY Scots island was gripped by Royal Wedding fever yesterday when it played host to a Sri Lankan prince and his bride. Secrecy surrounded the visit of the royal couple to the remote Orkney island of Shapinsay, which has just 300 residents. In a cloak-and-dagger operation, the Raja Prince Jerry Remigius Kanagarajah and his wife, Aishwary Rajnandhini Lusijah Rajaratnam, arrived for a romantic blessing at 19th Century Balfour Castle, the most northerly castle in the world. The couple, who have a home in Holland, touched down at Kirkwall airport on Friday and were met by local minister the Reverend Alison Finch. Everyone involved in the ceremony at the luxurious pounds 100-a-night castle had been told to keep quiet.But a source said: "You can try and keep these kinds of things quiet, but in a place the size of Orkney it is impossible."

To Dear All, We would like to inform you that the blessing of our marriage took place in a private ceremony at the Balfour Castle, ( The Most Northerly Castle In The world), Shapinsay,Orkney,Scotland. On the 2nd October 2004.

Thanking you,
With Warm Regards,
Raja Jerry Kanagarajah and Ilavarasi Aishwary Kanagarajah.
