Prince William, Future Princess Kate, and Food in Wales
What will Will and Kate eat in Wales? On the eve of a royal marriage, this is no idle question, for after getting hitched, the royal couple will live in a Welsh farmhouse on the isle of Angelsey – aka Ynys Mon – while he serves in the Royal Air Force. We envision romantic, candlelit meals à deux in an artfully rustic dining room – but what, exactly, will they be eating in this love nest? For that matter, what are travelers served in the h
The wedding day of Will and Kate is over, but the occasion is still very much alive in London. Everywhere I go, people are talking about it...where they watched it, how lovely the dress was, how sad it was that Diana wasn't there to see it, how poised the young couple was, how wonderful it is for the country. The shop windows are full of their congratulations, and the street parties carry on for another day.
The Royal Wedding was very much the theme in Harrods, the Knightsbridge department s
You might think London hotels would be sold out or vastly marked up during Royal Wedding week. Well, you might be wrong. Seems a lot of folks got the idea that it would be a total Picadilly circus, and decided to stay away. Travelocity, for example, just reported there’s plenty of availability, affordability, and even bargains – so if you can scrape the time together, you can get thee thither for Wills and Kate’s Excellent Adventure.

My usual bike ride to work - past Buckingham Palace, around Parliament Square, and beneath Big Ben - has been ruined. Well, marginally diverted, as part of it has already been sectioned off for Royal Wedding party tents.
The roads from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey are being repaved, ca

The marriage of Prince William, second in line to the throne, and Catherine Middleton, a mere – albeit hardly poverty-stricken – commoner, is a major world event. But for Londoners, it’s a bit of a major pain in the…

Although I rarely dine with the Queen, I know all the daily movements of the royals, courtesy of the incessant, IQ-lowering Royal Wedding news reports about everything from the height of Kate’s wedding-day heels to the exact measurement of William’s receding hairline.
Since you may not have arrived in London yet, here’s a summary of need-to-know pre-nuptial news:
1. You can place a bet on the likelihood of best man and rarely reliable brother Prince Harry forgetting t
Will you be there when Kate Middleton walks down the aisle? Will you see the predictably broad grin on Prince William’s face as he watches her make her way toward the altar?
No? Well my invitation hasn’t arrived either, but that isn’t going to keep me from enjoying the occasion.
When Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer married, I was there. Not “there” as in inside St. Paul’s Cathedral, but “there” as in “in London enjoying the celebration.”
Back in 1981, I stretched my Royal Wedding budget by s
THE HIMALAYAN TIMES -- The cat is out of the bag and Nepal can sit smug and enjoy the limelight while other blue chip tourism destinations turn green with envy.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have decided on Nepal for their honeymoon and are expected to land up in Kathmandu a week after their April 29 royal wedding at Westminster Abbey, London.
