LONDON: Prince William and Kate Middleton married at London’s Westminster Abbey this morning. They drew cheers from the scores of spectators outside Buckingham Palace as they appeared on the balcony and kissed for the first time as a married couple.
Kate and William will now be known as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, joined by their bridal party and their respective families including Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Kate’s parents Carole and Michael Middleton to watch a flyby of Royal Air Force (RAF) jets.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz Royal Correspondent Colette Fahy at Westminster Abbey after the service, Lord Mayor Boris Johnson shared his joy saying, “Wasn’t that good. Wasn’t that just absolutely brilliant?”
