Prince William and Kate Middleton: The countdown begins!

Prince William and Kate Middleton: The countdown begins!

Their big day will stop the world and breathe new life into the royal family.

It’s the happy news we’ve waited so long to hear. William, undeniably the world’s most popular prince, is finally set to marry his beautiful princess-in-waiting, Kate Middleton.

Their engagement has ignited a fresh tidal wave of royal fever. This is one love story the world is willing will have a magical, fairytale “happily ever after” ending. The beaming, besotted look on William’s face says it all. The playful prince is head over heels in love. And, let’s face it, while everyone loves a royal love story, they love a royal wedding even more.

Not since William’s mother, the late Princess Diana, made her historic walk down the aisle of St Paul’s Cathedral to marry his father, Prince Charles, has the world been so excited.

And while William says he’d prefer a much lower-key ceremony to his parents’ 1981 nuptials, the world is crying out for a lavish, pomp-filled extravaganza – something to take our minds off the job losses and economic woes caused by the global financial crisis.

This is the feel-good distraction we’ve all been hoping for.While Charles and Diana’s marriage was dubbed the wedding of the century, William and Kate’s is shaping up to be the wedding that stops the world and breathes new life into the ailing British royal family.
