Guess who’s coming to America? I know, the picture is a dead giveaway! Oh and I guess the title too.
Ever since Friday, and perhaps even from weeks before for some of us, we have been glued to our TV sets and the internet to watch anything and everything which has to do with the Royal Wedding.
And we still can’t get enough.
So, to feed your appetite and fancy a bit more, here are some photos from the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton from a perspective that you probably haven’t yet seen. Or experienced.
My friend Nilou Tamaddon Jones is an American living in England. She woke up at 4 AM April 29 to be in front of Buckingham Palace by 6:15 AM on the day of the Wedding. She and her friend Diane Glauser had taken a three-hour train ride from Harrogate, North Yorkshire to be in London the day before. They ate very little for breakfast on the big day (a muffin and hardly anything to drink) so they could stay at their spot all day without a need for a bathroom break. Oh yeah, I hadn’t even thought about that! BRILLIANT!
Nilou and Diane got some great shots of the Princess and Queen leaving for Westminster Abbey before the wedding…and then got everyone’s return back to the Palace by 1:30. It’s amazing how close civilians got to the action – how wonderful it must have been to witness history unfolding right before your eyes while we, the rest of the world, all watched it happen on TV!
Enjoy!

Prince William and Kate Middleton got married Friday and two billion people watched worldwide. In the US alone, more than 18.5 million U.S. households watched the pomp and circumstance live (versus an estimated 14.2 million for Charles and Diana’s wedding in case you were wondering.)
The Royal family has released three official Royal Wedding portraits taken by Hugo Burnand at Buckingham Palace. And here they are for your viewing pleasure:

WOW – it’s expensive to run a Royal Wedding!
The total cost of the wedding, including the flowers ($800,000), banquet, dress and ring is expected to top $60 million.
Congratulations to Prince William and Kate Middleton – the two have just exchanged their vows Friday morning and are now husband and wife.
“The Queen has today been pleased to confer a Dukedom on Prince William of Wales. His titles will be Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus….Prince William thus becomes His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge, and Miss Catherine Middleton on marriage will become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge.”
Have you caught the royal wedding fever which is sweeping the planet? Don’t worry, you don’t have much longer to wait for the wedding which takes place tomorrow starting at 4 AM EST.
The couple is clad in matching white shirts and flashing their pearly whites in a classy black and white portrait taken by famed photographer Mario Testino. The photo will be part of the official royal wedding program which was released this morning.
“We are both so delighted that you are able to join us in celebrating what we hope will be one of the happiest days of our lives,” the couple have written in the program.
