Good news for the royal family!

Among the few 2.000 guests sorted on the shutter: family members royal, personalities and politicians. Unfortunately, my name is not reproduced on the list. I do not have any more but to comfort myself while becoming the happy owner of cloths or other derivative products kitchs which flower in the souvenir shops. Unless finding a means different to celebrate this historical event. It should be believed that I have chance, the guided visits devoted to the princely couple develop in London in this moment. Then why not to spend an afternoon to visit London with discovered places of predilection of the London elite?
On the steps of Will and Kate
I thus benefit from one of the rare sunny days of the winter more on the life of our tourtereaux in the British capital thanks to the visit Royal Wedding Walking Tour off London de Viator. Flanked of Frances, my colleague, and of a silhouette out of paperboard in the real face of the princely couple (know why), me thus to saunter here briskly in the fashionable districts attended by the royal family.

We begin the visit with Green Park before directing us towards New Bond Street where we make a stop in front of the window of Garrards, official jeweller of the British heads crowned of 1843 to 2007. The engagement ring of the Diana Princess comes from this shop and, contrary to the tradition, was not made to measure, according to the wish of the Princess of the people. It is this same ring that William chose to offer to Kate, in homage to his/her adored mother.
A little further, we approach one moment much more tragic of the history of the couple. After an argument about the use of Kate for a mark of clothing, Prince William separated from his beautiful and posted himself the evening even out of nightclub, in Makihi, exclaiming “I am a free man! ” perched on a table, quotation that the British tabloïds hastened to reveal.
We then made the turn of various suppliers of the royal house, of the shoe-maker who manufactures the shoes to measure for William and Harry with the most former cavist of the country (which according to the rumour will provide the wine of the marriage) while passing through the hatter of the Queen, in full clothes industry of the hat of the marriage.
Pas le time to be bored with our guide, Hana, whose speech is punctuated crusty anecdotes and animated comments. In addition to the surprising and shifted places, the visit also makes us pass by all the great tourist sites which make the reputation of London like St James' Palace, Ritz and Clarence House, official residence of Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchesse of Cornouailles.
The impossible to circumvent Buckingham Palace
For much of tourists like Londoners, Buckingham Palace, remains of the Queen, is a required passage of any visit in London.
It is here that the festivities take place after the ceremony of marriage. After an official reception, the tradition wants that the couple makes an appearance with the balcony of the palate in order to greet admiring crowd, like in 1981 Prince Charles and the Diana Princess made. A dinner of official reception follows then.
On the images of file, one sees an immense crowd of people agitating of the British flags on the Evil, which breaks a little the protocolar image of the ceremony. What could be more logical whereas to leave our tourtereaux out of paperboard in front of the royal palace, which us was worth the smiles narquois and sniggers of the passers by. In any case, we are charmed photographs taken with our Will and Kate with us!
The visit finishes at the end of approximately two hours, in front of Westminster Abbey, where the ceremony will proceed. Frozen and a little wearied to have carried our couple out of paperboard all the afternoon, us let us not be charmed of it this guided visit and the fever of the princely marriage seems to have gained us to us too.
All this romanticism, this extravagance and this patriotism bring an sun ray in the middle of this long and cold winter. Then let us leave free course with the media passion and the race with the retro memories! Live the royal circus!
