 With the entire world watching, Prince William and Catherine Middleton became husband and wife Friday morning – and the newly ennobled Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – at London’s Westminster Abbey.
The wedding, pegged the greatest and grandest royal affair since Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s 1981 nuptials, is the fairy-tale ending to a love story thrust into the spotlight last November when the couple first announced their engagement.

“I, William Arthur Philip Louis, take thee, Catherine Elizabeth, to my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse,” William vowed. “For richer, for poorer. In sickness and in health. To love and to cherish, till death us do part.”
With brother and best man Prince Harry, sporting the uniform of Captain of the Household Cavalry, by his side, William, 28, wearing the scarlet uniform of the Colonel of the Irish Guards, slipped a traditional Welsh gold wedding band on Middleton’s finger, saying, “With this ring, I thee wed.”
The couple also wrote their own prayer for the occasion. “God our Father, we thank you for our families; for the love that we share and for the joy of our marriage,” they said. “In the busyness of each day keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and help us to be generous with our time and love and energy. Strengthened by our union help us to serve and comfort those who suffer”

Nicki Minaj is reportedly flying into the UK especially for the Royal Wedding.

The US rapper is currently on tour across America and Canada but is said to have hired a private jet to fly her in and out of the country for the special occasion, as she wants to witness the ceremony firsthand.

Minaj does not have an invite to the wedding, but has apparently booked an apartment near to Westminster Abbey, where the nuptials will take place, and from where she can watch the day's events unfold.

It is rumoured she has even selected a regal outfit to wear for her visit.

Prince William and Kate Middleton will tie the knot on Friday, April 29.

Queen Elizabeth Turns 85 and Meets The Middletons Finally



I can't help it, the Royals are everywhere on every source I am reading so I have to write down on them. Today is Queen Elizabeth II's 85th birthday. It is the first time that the Queen's birthday has fallen on a Maundy Thursday.

Therefore, she attended the traditional Royal Maundy Service at Westminster Abbey where she was accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh.

She handed out Maundy money to 85 men and 85 women, one for each of her 85 years. Anyway, I was just going through the Queen's various photos and she looks so cunning. Look at her shrewd eyes.

And just on the side, let me fill in the other news as well that finally Kate Middleton's parents ended up meeting the Queen just eight days before the Royal Wedding.

The Queen invited Michael and Carole Middleton to a private lunch at Windsor Castle where they spent more than an hour together in a warm atmosphere. Though, Kate met the Queen on several occasions, her parents never met the monarch in the eight year courtship of William and Kate. Since the Queen's diaries are booked for months, they had to wait for a long time to actually meet her.

The most interesting part of these Royal newsflash are the comments of the locals. Most of the people said they care not about this wedding at all. Some are putting up questions like did the Middleton's ever thought that they are marrying their daughter in a highly dysfunctional family. While some even asked if meeting Granny's so important otherwise but then everybody's granny is not the Queen. And one person said that Kate is facing media in a far better way than Diana and is going to be a much charming PR face for the rather dull Royal family in the years to come.
