| The Royal couple |
The whole world will be watching when Prince William, second in line to be the King marries Miss Kate Middleton tomorrow. One of the most important things about this wedding is that, bride and groom will not be accepting wedding gifts and they have created a charitable gift fund to help celebrate their wedding. The fund will focus on
assisting charities, which sup
port the five causes chosen by the couple and they have asked that anyone wishing to send them a wedding gift consider doing so in the form of a donation to the fund. The five charities are: Children fulfilling their potential, support for Services personnel and their families, changing lives through art and sport, help and care at home and conservation for future generations.
The most lavish wedding to date was that of Charles and Diana who married 30 years ago on July 29, 1981, at St Paul's Cathedral. It was also the BBC's biggest and most expensive outside broadcast ever and their son's Royal Wedding is set to be a global media extravaganza with the biggest audience in television history with an estimated 2.4 billion, more than double that of his parents. An estimated 400 million-plus will also watch the ceremony online. The first royal wedding to be filmed was that of Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the late Queen Mother, and the Duke of York in 1923. The current Queen's wedding, on a wintry day in November 1947, was the first to be televised and broadcast live, to 42 countries.
