Queen wants Credit Crunch Wedding for William & Kate
Sunday, January 25th, 2009
The Queen has let slip that Prince William and girlfriend Kate Middleton will have a “credit crunch” wedding if they decide to tie the knot.
A senior palace source told the News of the World Her Majesty is “mindful” of the misery caused across the nation by economic meltdown.
And she believes a lavish marriage celebration like Charles and Diana’s, which ran to millions, would not go down well with her struggling subjects.
The aide said: “The Queen knows how the nation is really suffering. A big lavish ceremony would send out all the wrong messages. The last thing she would want is to rub people’s noses in it by spending a fortune.”
“She has made it clear that the massive royal weddings of the past are just that, of the past.” (via News of the World)
