Kate & Wills August Wedding at Westminster Abbey? Posted by BRW on August 28th, 2010 at 2:36 am
She has waited patiently for more than seven years for Prince William to pop the question. But could Kate Middleton’s long apprenticeship as a royal bride be finally coming to an end?
According to well-placed sources, royal aides have made ‘discreet overtures’ to senior personnel at Westminster Abbey to hold a wedding there on the second weekend in August next year.
Although nothing has been set in stone, talks are sufficiently advanced for the issue to have been raised when the Queen and Prince Philip visited the Abbey on an official engagement in May, insiders say.
A St James’s Palace spokesman said last night: ‘The only people with knowledge about any future plans they may or may not have are Prince William and Kate Middleton. We are not aware of any enquiries being made.’

William & Kate – June 2011 Wedding? Posted by BRW on August 10th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
The Daily Star reports that Prince William & Kate Middleton are ready to tie the knot. They are tipping an engagement announcement in November and a June 2011 wedding…
31 Comments »The date for the marriage could also deflect attention away from the 30th anniversary of Charles and Diana’s doomed union on July 29. And it would also coincide with Prince Philip’s 90th birthday on June 10, giving William’s grandad a perfect present.
St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle has been mooted as the venue for the ceremony.
Princess Diana’s biographer Tina Brown suggested earlier in the year that the wedding would announced in June this year.
She said: “A wedding would probably follow in November.” But it is now thought that her sources had mixed up the dates and the timing, with the announcement in November and the wedding the following June.
If so, it is likely there would be a dress rehearsal on Friday June 3 and the ceremony on Saturday June 4.
