Prince William’s fiancée Kate Middleton and her family will stay at a luxury hotel in heart of Belgravia the night before the royal wedding on April 29.
Kate will stay at Goring Hotel, a five-star hotel run by the same family for over a century, with her mother Carol, father Michael, sister Pippa and brother James at the hotel and will leave for the wedding from there. “The hotel was the Middleton family’s personal choice,” Clarence House said on Friday.

The royal wedding is just two weeks away now and details about the timing of events were released on Friday. The wedding service will start at 11 am although the most of 1,900 invitees to the wedding will have to arrive between 8.15 am and 9.45 am at the Westminster Abbey. The governors-general and Prime Ministers of realm countries, the diplomatic corps, and other distinguished guests will arrive between 9.50 am 10.10 am.
And by 12.15 pm a carriage procession of the bride and bridegroom with a captain’s escort of the Household Cavalry, followed by the Queen’s procession with a sovereign’s escort of the Household Cavalry will leave for Buckingham Palace. At 1.25 pm, Kate and William will appear on the balcony of the Buckingham Palace to kiss in front of the gathered crowds and will be joined by Queen Elizabeth II and the rest of their families before a fly past by the Royal Air Force and Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. The guests and the newly-wedded couple will then attend the first wedding reception at Buckingham Palace. They will hold a second reception in the evening.
The service will be relayed by audio speakers and two large screens will be put up at Hyde Park and Trafalgar Square to enable people watch the ceremonies live.
