GMA-7 and GMANews TV- Most Watch Channels for the Royal Wedding Coverage

The TV Rating for the coverage of the Royal Weddings on April 29, 2011 shows GMA-7 and GMANews leading the rating tally and therefore, the most watch channels during the 'Royal Wedding Coverage' on Philippine TV.

The Philippines has no royal family, but everyone loves a romance, especially one that ends up in a globally televised royal wedding.

Over four million Filipinos in Mega Manila alone were tuned in yesterday to the British Royal Wedding of Prince William of Wales to commoner Catherine Middleton, based on AGB Nielsen overnight ratings.

And after weeks of heavy Royal Wedding coverage promotions by practically all the TV networks, two ratings winners emerged.

From 5 to 8 in the evening - the royal caravan towards Westminster Abbey to the bride’s breathtaking appearance in her Sarah Burton dress, throughout the wedding ceremony proper, and till the couple’s joyful carriage ride as husband and wife - GMA7 and GMA News TV Channel 11, were the no. 1 and no. 2 networks in terms of ratings, based on AGB Nielsen data for Mega Manila.

GMA7 hit an 18.6 household rating for this time band. GMA News TV, just a two-month-old news and documentary channel, followed GMA7 with a 13.3 household rating for the same period.

GMA News TV was the first free TV Channel to broadcast the wedding live, starting as early as 3 pm with its Royal Wedding: March to the Altar coverage, after first breaking the biggest news of the day -- Merceditas’ Gutierrez announcement of her resignation as Ombudsman.

Normally the fourth-ranking free TV network, GMA News TV saw its ratings climb to a historic high on the Royal Wedding day, at a certain point leading all the free TV networks in ratings.  By 6 pm, GMA7 ratings picked up with GMA’s special coverage of the same event, becoming the leader for the rest of the evening.

GMA News and Public Affairs has been preparing for its combined coverage for months, sending top anchors Jessica Soho, Vicky Morales and Connie Sison to London for first-hand reports on the royal festivities. GMA News and GMA News TV’s no. 1 and 2 ratings prove, once again, that GMA News and Public Affairs is the Filipinos’ most trusted source of news and information. -

WillKat - The Wedding of The Century

Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton married at Westminster Abbey on Friday, the 29/04/11 in a sumptuous show of British pageantry that attracted a huge world audience and breathed new life into the monarchy. It most certainly was the biggest wedding of the century. As Kate made her way up the aisle, William whispered "You look beautiful" and she let out a shy smile. Talk about AWW moments. :') The princess bride wasn't keeping dress details just from the public; she was keeping them from her husband-to-be. Prince William finally saw the gown after many of the wedding watchers. Kate went to great lengths to make sure he did not catch a glimpse of it until she met him at the altar.

Kate wore a long sleeved dress with lace appliqué bodice, satin gazar pleated skirt and nine-foot train by the Alexander McQueen designer Sarah Burton for her marriage service at Westminster Abbey. Miss Middleton chose British brand Alexander McQueen for the beauty of its craftsmanship and its respect for traditional workmanship and the technical construction of clothing. Miss Middleton wished for her dress to combine tradition and modernity with the artistic vision that characterises Alexander McQueen’s work. Miss Middleton worked closely with Sarah Burton in formulating the design of her dress. The wedding shoes have made hand-made by the team at Alexander McQueen and are made of ivory duchesse satin with lace hand-embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework. The veil is held in place by a Cartier ‘halo’ tiara, lent to Middleton by the Queen. While Prince William did have the option to wear a normal suit, he chose to wear Military attire like his father, Prince Charles, and his uncle, Prince Andrew.

I loved Kate's fuss-free makeup.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have received the titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Buckingham Palace said Friday.

William's dukedom is one of three titles bestowed by his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II to mark his marriage to Middleton at Westminster Abbey. The titles also apply to Middleton.

William also became the Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus, which means Middleton will become the Countess of Strathearn and Baroness Carrickfergus.

The second Duke of Cambridge, Prince Adolphus Frederick, was the seventh son of King George III. Defying the Royal Marriage Act, he married his mistress, Sarah Louisa Fairbrother, an actress and a commoner, in 1847. Since the marriage wasn't legal, his children were all illegitimate.

The palace announced the titles in a statement Friday.
