Prince Charles Toasts The Newlyweds: ‘We’re Lucky To Have Her’ He Says Of Kate

In a more relaxed atmosphere after their big day, the Royal Family members were free to say a few words to each other and their friends and family members at the Queen’s luncheon.

Father of the groom Prince Charles toasted his son, Prince William and his new daughter-in-law Kate Middleton.

Charles took a moment to point out both his and William’s thinning hairline, to the amusement of the guests. Both William and Kate smiled when Charles, looking down at William’s head,  joked that it must be hereditary.

The Duke of Cornwall let the guests know he was truly appreciative of Kate and his speech was heartfelt, according to Dr. Robert Acheson, a friend of the Middleton’s.

“William spoke very well but it was Charles who really gave high praise to his daughter-in-law. He said they were really lucky to have a daughter like her,” the retired Headmaster said.

He’s known Kate for years and Acheson had nothing but praise for her.

“I think Kate will be a wonderful role model,” he said. “She’s an exceptionally nice person and she’s no fool. She will make a very good queen. She brings a lot to the party and I think they recognise that.”

He continued “The speech really brought a tear to the eye. She was a delightful child and is now a delightful young woman.”

Elton John & David Furnish At The Royal Wedding Of Prince William & Kate Middleton

Westminster Abbey held the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton today and in attendance were Sir Elton John and his partner, David Furnish.

The couple waved to the crowds that gathered to glimpse members of the Royal Family, their friends and the celebrity guests as they entered into the Abbey for the ceremony.

The 64 year-old performer had some tears in his eyes inside as the wedding proceeded, perhaps moved by watching his friend’s, the late Princess Diana, child take his vows.

It was in September of 1997 that Sir Elton performed a reworked version of “Candle In The Wind” at her funeral in the same Abbey the wedding took place today.

David & Victoria Beckham At Prince William & Kate Middleton’s Wedding

Besides the obvious of the bride and groom, the other couple everyone was waiting to see today was David and Victoria Beckham.

The two attended the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey in a very fashionable and glamorous way, naturally.

David chose a dark gray, traditional suit with coat tails, top hat and a light steel gray colored cravat by Ralph Lauren. The soccer star also wore his OBE medal proudly. Unfortunately it was pinned to the incorrect side as he entered Westminster Abbey, but on the way out he had changed it over to his left side.

Victoria chose a dress from her own Fall 2011 clothing line (smart!) in a subdued navy. And while it was full and billowy, you could hardly see any sign that she is pregnant.

“Today’s ceremony was beautiful and heartfelt. Catherine looked wonderfully elegant and we were honoured to be part of such a special, historical day for our country,” the couple said in a joint statement.

“We wish Catherine and William much love and happiness for the future.”

Best Man Prince Harry At Prince William & Kate Middleton’s Wedding

Prince Harry gives a wave to the crowds as he departs the Royal wedding of his brother, Prince William to Kate Middleton in a horse drawn carriage with one of the little flower girls.

The Best Man was outfitted in the Blues and Royals officer’s uniform in Dismounted Review Order, with a Forage Cap, according to the palace.

Harry’s Best Man speech is what we want to hear next! With Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip not attending the formal reception tonight, Harry can get away with a little more humor without having to face his grandmother, the Queen.

Don’t you wish you were a fly on the wall for that?

Princess Beatrice & Princess Eugenie At Prince William & Kate Middleton’s Wedding

Daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, the Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, attended their cousin Prince William’s wedding to Kate Middleton in some striking fashion choices.

Beatrice wore a beautiful and understated sand colored Valentino Spring Couture 2011 coat and dress that was very elegant on the young Royal. She didn’t chose a British designer which is very rare on an occassion such as this.

Where Beatrice is receiving a lot of flack is for the Philip Treacy fascinator (hat) – and it certainly makes a statement. It’s big and it’s noticeable, but I honestly like it, perhaps more appropriate for Ascot in early summer. I always like it when someone tries something a little outside the fashion norm.

Eugenie chose Vivienne Westwood for her dress – a bright bluejay colored skirt with patterned bodice and bows and a Philip Treacy fascinator with purple flowers and a feathery tuft on the back.

I think both Princesses looked fantastic, youthful and modern – just perfect for the day.

What do you think?

Chelsy Davy Arrives To Prince William & Kate Middleton’s Wedding

Prince Harry’s on/off girlfriend, Chelsy Davy arrived at Westminster Abbey for the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton today.

The Zimbabwean Davy chose Alberta Ferretti dress. The off the shoulder jacket with bow in the back and skirt were a turquoise color and looked lovely on Chelsy. She also wore a lace hat by Victoria Grant.

Davy, 25, also has a second dress from Ferretti for the evening reception; a midnight blue gown with asymmetric detailing.

Prince Charles & Camilla, Duchess Of Cornwall Arrive To The Royal Wedding

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla, arrived at Westminster Abbey for the wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton.

The father and step-mother of the groom are footing a serious wedding bill. While her parents, Michael and Carole Middleton are expected to chip in, Prince Charles and Camilla are paying a rumored $10 million for the extravaganza.

While Camillia’s marriage to Charles is still controversial to many, both William and Harry have said they are very fond of her and Kate is also said to like Camilla and is able to talk to her about her role and duties in the Royal Family.

Prince Harry Eyes Possible Everest Trek For Charity

Welcoming back the servicemen who trekked to the North Pole for the Walking with The Wounded project, Prince Harry said he was interested in their next expedition: Mount Everest.

The 26 year-old, who spent the first four days with the group as they headed north, told Captain Martin Hewitt, who will lead the Everest climb in May of 2012 he’s game.

“See you on the next one,” Harry told the men.

“Something tells me he’ll be a little too busy with his royal and military commitments to do the entire trip,” Capt Hewitt said.

“But we’ll see what he’s willing to be involved with.”

The young Prince had high praise for the men who undertake the treks to raise money for soldiers and military personnel whose lives are changed by the serious injuries they receive.

“These guys are very very special and hugely modest,” Harry said.”Notice how none of them have actually talked about themselves at all. It’s clearly obvious to everybody in this room, family and friends, and all the support as well, just quite how unbelievably inspirational these guys are.”

Photos of Prince Harry and the men of the expedition are below. (Read the article)

Prince Harry Putting On Survivor’s Breakfast For Day After The Royal Wedding

With just a few days remaining before Prince William and Kate Middleton’s modern day fairytale wedding, word is out that Prince Harry is planning a morning-after after-party. Who better, right?

Harry, with close friend and nightclub owner, Guy Pelly, have organized a survivor’s breakfast of bacon and fry-ups at 6 AM Saturday morning at Buckingham Palace.

With no beer being served, Pelly and the 26 year-old Prince are said to have arranged treasure chest drinks (made popular at Pelly’s club Mahiki) which are potent (and huge) cocktails of rum and champagne served in wooden, table-sized chests for the guests to imbibe on.

Guess they will need a hangover meal the next day!

The real question is will Chelsy Davy be his plus one? 4 more days until we know for sure…
