The place and date of the wedding were the subject of betting. Clients of bookmakers correctly managed to "guess" the place of the wedding - Westminster Abbey, but made a mistake with the date - July was called the most probable month.

The date of the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton - April 29, 2011 - became known in November last year. April 29 is declared a national holiday.

By the way, none of the weddings of high-ranking members of the British royal family in the post-war period fell on a Friday. The wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles was originally scheduled for Friday, but then due to the funeral of Pope John Paul II, it had to be postponed to another day.

Westminster Abbey has often been the site of royal weddings. It was in this cathedral in central London that William's grandparents, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, as well as his uncle, Prince Andrew, and aunt, Princess Anne, were married. The wedding of Prince William's parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, took place at St. Paul's Cathedral.

In order for the wedding ceremony to start on time and without surprises, the bride and groom (separately), as well as other members of the royal family, will arrive at Westminster Abbey by car.

Samantha Cameron wore a Burberry dress to the Duke and Duchess' wedding in 2011. A turquoise dress was a great choice back then, and heels added a sexy touch to the prime minister's wife's style.

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall arrive for Prince William and Kate's wedding. Charles looked very dapper in his suit, while Camilla looked glamorous in her pale suit, which she paired with metallic heeled shoes.
