Members of the public also uploade their videoed messages of congratulations on an official "Wedding Book:, also on YouTube, which will be shown to the couple.

Asked whether Kate and William were frequent users of online media and if they would be changing their status of Facebook from single to married, the spokesman laughed but declined to comment, saying it was a matter for the couple.

The announcement of the live stream comes as a royal wedding video book was launched for well wishers to leave messages of support for the couple and official bunting was put up in central London to mark the coming nuptials.


Scores of Union Flags have been hoisted above Regent Street in celebration of the forthcoming wedding and the bunting be viewed by an audience of millions, including YouTube users.

Aides say William and Kate had taken a close interest in the use of social media to broadcast the wedding. The couple used Twitter to announce their engagement in November and keep the public informed. A spokesman for William at St James’s Palace said of the couple:

They have been consulted throughout on all the technical things we are doing. They will be interested to see the Wedding Book at some stage in the future.

Channel 5 Movie: William and Kate

William and Kate – The film, which follows the couple from their very first meeting at St Andrews University, through the trials and tribulations of their relationship, was made by Lifestyle in the US, and aired on Channel 5 on this side of the pond.


At 1hour 45minutes once the inevitable ad breaks which come with made for TV movies are added in, the film feels long, and perhaps it would be more easily digested in an hour, as currently its cringe inducing style just feels like it outstays it’s welcome.

The film also takes some serious liberties with the truth for the sake of keeping the narrative going. There are certain scenes which just don’t come across as even vaguely believable, and are pushing the bounds of even what is acceptable in cheesy rom-com territory.

One particularly funny sequence sees the future king serenade his beloved in a karaoke bar to show her that he is sorry. As the film reaches it’s finale – the proposal in Kenya – the CGI backdrop is just shocking to look at, and it makes you wonder why they even bothered to show it, as the penultimate scene could have closed the film just as well, without bringing it down any further into the mire.

The Royal Bride Kate Middleton Dress and her Sister Pippa Middleton

All eyes were on Kate Middleton, The Bride as she made her way towards the abbey. She showed few signs of nerves, smiling and waving at the crowds from her limousine and sat next to her father, Michael. The bride opted for a simple creation by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen with lace sleeves, a swagged train and a fine veil of chantilly lace. According to Buckingham Palace the dress "epitomises timeless British craftsmanship by drawing together talented and skilled workmanship from across the United Kingdom".

Flanked by her sister and maid of honour, Pippa Middleton, who was wearing a long, cream silk gown, the bride was also accompanied by young bridesmaids Eliza Lopes, Grace van Cutsem, Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, and Margarita Armstrong-Jones, and pageboys Tom Pettifer and William Lowther-Pinkerton.

The Royal Bridegroom Prince William and his Brother Prince Harry

Prince William stood next to his brother, Prince Harry, and as his girlfriend of 10 years joined him at the altar the heir to the throne broke into a smile. Kate's mother, Carole Middleton, wearing a fitted blue-grey Catherine Walker outfit, looked on with pride.

The wedding ceremony passed without hitch, with the only moment of tension provided as Prince William struggled to put the ring, fashioned from Welsh gold given to Prince William by the Queen, on his bride's finger.

Rowan Williams, the archbishop of Canterbury, declared: "I pronounce that they be man and wife together, in the name of the father, and of the son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen."

In a prayer, written by the couple for the occasion, they said: "God our father, we thank you for our families; for the love that we share and for the joy of our marriage."

At just before 1.30pm William and Kate kissed for the first time in public on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. The fleeting embrace sent the already ecstatic crowds wild, and was repeated during a flypast.

As the couple left Westminster Abbey the crowds, some of whom had been camping for days for the moment, erupted into a fresh wave of cheers as they climbed into state landau carriages for the horse-drawn procession to Buckingham Palace. The married couple waved at crowds as they past the crowds via Parliament Square, Whitehall, Horse Guards and the Mall. Despite fears of thundery showers, threatening grey skies produced no rain.

After more than five minutes of waving to the crowds, the couple walked hand in hand back through the doors of the palace. Earlier, stepping on to the balcony, Kate appeared to gasp "Oh my" as the royal couple saw the thousands of well-wishers lining the Mall before being joined by members of their family.

The couple joined the Queen who is giving a lunchtime reception at Buckingham Palace for 650 guests, described by the palace as "a private gathering for guests drawn from the congregation who will represent the couple's official and private lives".

The Prince of Wales will give a private dinner, followed by dancing, for close friends and family.
