Royal Wedding of Prince William Kate Middleton 2011

Royal Wedding of Prince William Kate Middleton 2011 - Prince William hovers on the brink of matrimony — a year or so before his 30th birthday. His grandmother, the Queen, is 85 and in good health. His father will be king before him, so what does the future hold?

After a suitable honeymoon, we will need to see the happy couple - they must not disappear into Anglesey altogether. If I were masterminding their plans (which I am not), I would have them back, refreshed and tanned in time for President Obama’s state visit (May 24 to 26).

Then we should see the couple at Prince Philip’s 90th birthday, the Birthday Parade on June 11 (William riding as Colonel of Irish Guards), the Garter Procession (William beplumed) on June 13, in a carriage at Royal Ascot and at a Garden Party.

We know they are going to Canada. I would send them off to as many Commonwealth countries as possible in the next couple of years.

Between August and October, we are offered fewer sightings of the Royal family. What we most expect from William and Kate is another generation of the House of Windsor, so time away from the spotlight is good.
