UK Royal wedding to be televised live via YouTub
Thirty years after Prince Charles and Lady Diana took their vows before an international audience, Kate Middleton and Prince William, the first-born son of Charles and Diana, will declare their eternal love before crowds in cities across the globe on Friday.
April 29 has been declared a national holiday to mark the marriage of Prince William, 29 and Kate Middleton, 28, in Westminster Abbey. Prince William met his bride-to-be Kate eight years ago while they were studying at the St. Andrews University in Fife, Scotland.
Over 1900 people are invited to the royal wedding among them high-ranking officials, representatives of royal family and celebrities, including 60 leaders of the Queen's realms such as Australia, Canada, and New Zealand and over 200 members of Government and Parliament.
In a couple of hours BBC America and CNN will globally televise the biggest royal wedding - from the ceremonial to the personal, from what is happening at Westminster Abbey to the reactions of those around the world. At the request of the couple, the wedding will be broadcast live on YouTube.
British police say guests at the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton will have to pass through security checks to enter Westminster Abbey. Some 5,000 police will be deployed at the wedding and 60 people have been barred as part of their bail conditions from entering the area.
Meanwhile, Muslim activists are threatening to turn the UK royal wedding into 'nightmare. They demand that William and his brother Harry "withdraw from the British military."
