Royal Wedding Date Set For Final Week Of April 2011
Senior royal sources have confirmed that Prince William and Kate Middleton are looking towards a Spring wedding in London in 2011, with their ‘first choice’ date thought to be in the final week of April, report the Uk’s Daily Telegraph. It is understood that the preferred date is a weekday, and that the selection is currently being cleared with members of the Royal Family, and Downing Street.
A wedding in April would see Prince William marrying in the same month that his father, the Prince of Wales, married his second wife the Duchess of Cornwall in 2005. A senior royal aide said, “Prince William and Miss Middleton have a specific date and venue in mind, and Prince William’s Household is consulting with all relevant parties”, before adding, “However, they are realistic that for one reason or another, their first choice date may not work for all parties involved, and so they have selected a second choice summer date”. It is thought that the ‘first choice’ date lands somewhere between Tuesday April 26th and Friday April 29th, and Westminster Abbey is said to be the favoured venue.
Royal aides have also confirmed that Ms Middleton will not be a ‘working’ Princess, and that she intends to start a family, saying, “Catherine has made it clear that she wants to get stuck into work for the Royal family and that she wants to support her future husband”.
