Prince William & Kate Middleton’s Royal Wedding Date 29th April
After much speculation, Clarence House has announced the date for the Royal Wedding of Kate Middleton to Prince William.
On Friday 29th April 2011, the Prince and the Princess to be will be wed at Westminster Abbey after a 7 month engagement. Prince William proposed to Kate (or Catherine) Middleton whilst on holiday in Kenya to a friends Game Reserve.
Westminster Abbey is a familiar place for Royal events and has a link to the Royal Family going back around 1000 years. It hosted for instance, the Queen Mothers wedding as well as the Queens wedding; most recently it was the venue for Princess Diana’s funeral.
The Prime Minister David Cameron said that the day would be declared a public holiday in England so that everyone will be able to enjoy and celebrate the occasion.
The cost of the security for the Royal Wedding will come from the public purse while the wedding itself will be paid for by the Royal Family and the Middleton family, although quite what the ratio will be I will leave you to guess.
