The couple’s decision to wed on a Saturday goes against tradition, as royal weddings usually take place on a weekday. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wed on a Friday and the Queen on a Thursday.
On the local front, a number of royal fans gathered at Southbroom Golf Club for a live viewing of the wedding. They were encouraged to don their best and join in a morning of champagne and a canapé luncheon while viewing this much talked-about event!
The chosen date fell on the same day as the FA Cup final at Wembley, a match that Prince Harry’s best man, the Duke of Cambridge, usually attends, to present the trophy as president of the Football Association. The May date may also have been selected in order to give the Duchess of Cambridge time to recover after the birth of her third child, Prince Louis.
