The last part of Monarchy series is a short 5 minute video summary of William and Kate’s April 29, 2011 Royal Wedding. It showed people on the streets cheering, the arrivals at the church, and the famous balcony kisses. My favorite part of the wedding was that it felt intimate even though it was such a huge international spectacle, with an estimated 2 billion around the world watching.
It’s a fun look back at the beautiful day and all the hype and excitement that surrounded it.
I’m so used to watching older documentaries, so this one was refreshing and recent, since it came out in 2012. It went over the itinerary of the couple 9 day tour of 4 different countries (including Malaysia, Singapore, Tuvalu, and the Solomon Islands).
In Singapore William and Kate saw an orchid that was named after Princess Diana, who passed away just two weeks before she was due to visit.
The hostess of the doc follows the couple as they go from each event. She talks to people in the audience as well as people who met them.
In Malaysia they visited a hospice and it’s clear to see the special connection they both have with children. Kate is a patron of a children’s hospice in the UK. Each event they go to they bring with them lots of publicity and are able to highlight issues that are close to them, such as conservation and hospice.
Sadly during this tour it came out that a French tabloid was publishing photos of Kate sunbathing topless during a vacation. It is a terrible violation of privacy and the House of Windsor was not amused. Throughout the ordeal Kate remained calm and kept her composure. The UK after all is known for the expression, “Keep Calm and Carry On.”
My favorite part of the doc was when William and Kate were in Tuvalu dancing. They are such a sweet couple and are so down to earth. I love that they participate in all sorts of activities. They are definitely a modern couple for the British monarchy. I can’t get enough of them together. Long live the (future) King!!
This documentary focuses on the time when Kate was pregnant with the third in line, her baby Prince George up until the birth announcement outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital. It documents the excitement the media felt, as well as some Hollywood celebs.
William and Kate have really taken the world by storm. They are so popular and have everyone enamored. They are huge celebrities yet are such sweet and warm people. They evoke such enthusiasm everywhere they go.
Her pregnancy fashion choices have been making headlines, just as much as before she was pregnant. It’s fun to see how Kate and William are doing things their way and not always following royal protocol like in the past. It will be exciting to see Prince George grow up in front of our eyes. I also enjoyed that this documentary was up to date and not outdated like others that I have watched.
I love and adore this couple and little family! I may or may not have a postcard photo of Kate on my fridge 😉
Say Yes to Happy
