ABBA's Dancing Queen is William & Kate's favorite song. Maybe they will dance w/ that song on their wedding
#3
as a teenager, William was the big fan of Pamela Anderson & Baby Spice Emma Bunton
#4

Prince Charles won't travel anywhere without his colouring-hair spray. Well, prince William may need one...

William shouldn't really be in-line in the throne. Not until, The Queen Elizabeth's father King George VI ascended his brother throne.. (as it seen in "King's Speech")
#10
Will's entourage who guide him & kate back to the palace after the ceremony in Abbey, will have their pants painted in white (over the white) in purpose to make them extra white.

Royal Couple is a Choir Lover

No glam singer. No famous rock band too. Only choir singing for the most anticipated royal wedding.


I am officially William-Kate fans now. Not only the excitement they brought to the world, but also their simplicity for so-called wedding of the year that impress me. When some people expect that the young couple might throw some fancy glam-singer studded wedding, they want some conservative stuff going on. For the ceremony itself, held April 29 in the Abbey, they choose boys choir to sing the hymns.
The Choir of Westminster Abbey will accompany the royal wedding service.
The Choir of Westminster Abbey and The Chapel Royal Choir, along with London Chamber Orchestra and a fanfare team from the Royal Air Force Band, will be featured in the ceremony in the Abbey. The palace said that William and his fiancee "have taken a great deal of interest and care in choosing the music for their service," which will include well-known hymns and choral works as well as pieces commissioned especially for the occasion. 


Surprisingly, the hymns sung by the The Choir of Westminster Abbey will be live recorded into an album. "The Royal Wedding - The Official Wedding" will be expected to release in May 3rd, just four days after the wedding. Pre-order here in iTunes


Prince William and his soon-to-be wife Kate Middleton are taking a great deal in choosing music for their upcoming wedding service in April 29. 
So, now we know that the couple really want to make it in low-key. But who knows. They are now-generation. Lady Gaga or Elton John still have a chance to rock the after party.
