In this section of our site about Kate Middleton and Prince William,
we’ll talk about the Royal Wedding.

Prince William and Kate Middleton – The Royal Wedding
By Barry Kinnerton

The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is fast approaching.
On April 29 2011 the happy couple will celebrate their vows at the ancient and magnificent Westminster Abbey in London. King Henry I and Princess Matilda of Scotland were the first Royals to get married there when they tied the knot on Nov. 11, 1100. And of course it was the venue for the heart-rending but ultimately inspiring funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997.
There have been a lot of column inches written about this most modern of couples, and their romance seems to have captured the imagination of the entire world.
Since meeting as students at St Andrew’s University in Scotland, their love affair has had plenty of time to flourish and mature. There can be no doubt that both of them are absolutely in love and committed to a lifetime’s partnership together.
And unlike Prince William’s father, Prince Charles, who infamously replied to the question as to whether he was in love with Diana “Yes, whatever ‘in love’ means…”, you can be certain that his son and future daughter-in-law know exactly what love is.
Much has been made of the future King of England marrying a commoner. Vestiges of snobbery masquerading as court protocol still haunt the royal corridors. Taunts of ‘doors to manual’ have been reported as being used by some aristocrats and courtiers of Kate, a reference to her mother’s former occupation as a flight attendant.
From what we have seen of her and her family, such underhand, pathetic and childish comments are undoubtedly taken with a sense of humour. They reveal more about the taunter than the recipient.
The Middletons are respectably middle class. Kate’s father, Michael, is the son of a former airline pilot, and himself started as an airline steward for British Airways (where he met his future wife Carole Goldsmith) before rising to the rank of flight dispatcher.
They made their money in the party ware business, and their company, Party Pieces, is as far as anyone can tell, thriving. It even features Royal Wedding items in its stock.
The family home in the small village of Bucklebury in the Royal County of Berkshire (not that far from Windsor Castle) is where Kate has spent most of her formative years. Of course as is perfectly normal for people of her class and income in England, she had a privileged education at the prestigious private boarding school Marlborough College.
Interestingly, a former school friend has described her as ordinary, hard-working, athletic and easy-going. Perhaps it is these down to earth qualities which not only attracted her to Prince William in the first place, but which will help keep both their feet firmly rooted in the real world for the rest of their lives.
What is certain is that their lives will be on display, even more so than Diana’s. How they cope with the ups and downs of life, the paparazzi, the inevitable press intrusions, the whiffs of scandal, will be a big test for their maturity, wisdom and love. While they are still young they have the benefit of their more experienced elders, but in some cases they will be flying alone. Good luck to them.

Kids?

Posted by Royal Wedding Fan under Kate Middleton Prince William

They are already putting out the crowd barricades in London,
the weather is beautiful, the excitement is growing.
It is also great that William does not really have a position yet.
He is a prince, not a king, but a future king, and Kate will be a
future Queen, but, for right now, they can take their time, grow
into the role, and learn to appreciate each other as a couple.
We would imagine, kids should be their next level of focus.

Android technology has released a 3D application
for the wedding. Abbey 3D will give Android, iPhone and iPad users
a view of Westminster Abbey in a way which has never been seen before.
Priced £2.99, Abbey 3D will be available for Android phones via the Android Market and will be available soon at the Apple Store.
Proceeds from sales of the application will go to the Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton Charitable Gift Fund and Westminster Abbey Foundation.
It is also branding the Royal couple as a tech savvy, global brand, surely
this will play out well for tourism and more than help create an energy
of popularity, now and for the future.

Prince William and Kate, will be allowed to invite one hundred guests each at the Royal
Wedding reception after the service.
‘The evening reception will be the most exclusive part of the day and it’s the invite everyone wants.
The couple have so many friends that it is proving a real challenge trying to get the numbers down.
They are really struggling.’ Said a representative from the palace.
Charles and Camilla will each invite a hundred guests also, we have not received our invitation yet,

This week, Kate was confirmed as a member of the Church of England at a private
ceremony by the Bishop of London.
A  spokesman from St James's Palace said: "Catherine Middleton was confirmed by the Bishop of London at a private service at St James's Palace attended by her family and Prince William.
"Miss Middleton, who was already baptised, decided to be confirmed as part of her marriage preparations."
In the Book of Common Prayer it is written that "there shall none be admitted to the Holy Communion, until such time as he be confirmed, or be ready and desirous to be confirmed."
When he succeeds to the throne, William will become Supreme Governor of the Church of England

Apparently, Nick Clegg is checking out the possibillty
that should Prince William and Kate Middleton have a child,
regardless of the baby's sex, they could become King or Queen!
The current law: 'male primogeniture', has been in place for three
hundred years, and holds that the male child, irrespective of
order of birth, will have first right to the throne.
Mr. Clegg feels that it is time for this law to be re-examined.
