For 78 years, The Weekly has been the trusted source of all royal goings-on for generations of Australian women.
From the marriage of Princess Elizabeth II to her dashing Greek-Danish Prince Philip in 1947 to Charles and Diana, Andrew and Fergie and most recently, Edward and Sophie, The Weekly has always been on hand to celebrate a royal wedding in the House of Windsor.

Back in 1947, we had to wait days to receive photographs from London before we could publish them and reveal the lavishness of a far-flung fairytale wedding to a breathless Weekly readership. These days, the cut of Kate’s dress, the number of diamonds in her tiara and every tear shed by the young bride will all be tweeted or broadcast live-via-satellite within seconds of them appearing.
Which is why The Weekly will be taking a thoroughly modern approach to the coverage of the upcoming royal nuptials.
Because we all like to multi-task these days — it’s not enough to watch the TV, we have to tweet, blog or update our status at the same time — The Weekly will be throwing all its considerable resources to providing the most comprehensive coverage of the royal wedding any colonial could wish for.
Correspondents on the ground in London will tweet all the action live. Follow The Weekly’s London correspondent on Twitter by clicking here.
Our London operative will be tweeting all the preparations in the lead up to the big day and giving a flavour of the mood in the English capital as the Brits shape up to do what they do best: pomp and ceremony.
On the day of the wedding, make The Australian Women’s Weekly’s royal wedding hub your online base for all the action as it unfolds.
Weekly reporters will be live blogging the wedding and providing a constant stream of up-to-the-minute coverage of everything from the dress, to the wedding party, to the ceremony, vows, guest list and after-party.

Photo galleries will also be published on The Weekly’s royal wedding hub, ensuring that even if you can’t get to TV screen during the wedding, or if you choose to sleep through it and want a one-stop shop in the morning for a comprehensive wrap-up of all wedding proceedings, we will more than have you covered.
And then, once you have devoured it all online, be sure to be among the first in line at your local newsagent to pick up your copy of the special Royal Wedding Commemorative issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly (on sale from May 4) — and take part in a 78-year-old tradition.
