As you may know, on the 29th of this month Prince William and his girlfriend Kate Middleton are getting married. Royal weddings are usually very solemn and serious and have lots of old ceremony and traditions. My friend in the UK sent me this funny video of a what a modern royal wedding should be like.
Watch the video. Here is a list of the members of the Royal Family and other important people you will see, in the order in which they appear. I don't know who some of the other people are, probably Prince William's cousins.
- 27 The Archbishop of Canterbury. This guy is the head priest of the Church of England. He will perform the marriage ceremony.
- 43 Prince Andrew, the Duke of York. This guy is the Queen's second son, Prince William's uncle. He is divorced, and some of his best friends are nasty dictators and tyrants in Africa and other Third World countries.
- 48 The older woman is Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, the Queen's second child, Prince William's aunt. The younger woman is her daughter, Zara Phillips, Prince William's cousin.
- 59 Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cornwall, and his (second) wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Prince Charles is Prince William's father, and the Queen's first son. When the Queen dies, Charles will be King, but Camilla will not be Queen.
- 107 Prince Edward, the Earl of Essex and his wife Sophie, the Countess of Wessex. This guy is the Queens's third son, Prince William's second uncle. Many people thought he might be gay, but then he got married.
- 110 The Queen and her husband, Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh. The Queen's husband is not the King, but a Duke. A Duke is one step down from a Prince, and is a special title given by the Queen to members of her immediate family. Prince Phillip is a member of the Greek and Danish Royal Families
- 117 Prince Harry. The youngest son of Prince Charles and Diana, and Prince William's younger brother. He is still single, so girls, you still have a chance! If something happens to his father and his older brother, this guy will be the next King.
- 137 Prince William, Prince of Wales. The next King, after his father Prince Charles dies. He looks pretty happy in the video, probably because he knows when he is King he will be very, very rich and never have to work a day in his life.
- 155 Kate Middleton. Prince William's fiancee. After the marriage her title will be Duchess of Something, depending on what title the Queen wants to give her. I'll let you know. When Prince William is King, she will probably not be Queen, but just a Duchess, or a Princess.
