The couple will then travel by carriage to Buckingham Palace, where the Queen will host a reception with “guests drawn from the congregation representing the couple’s official and private lives”.
Prince William’s father, Prince Charles, will then host a private dinner reception for the couple at the palace in celebration of the wedding.
The royal engagement was publicly announced on 16 November, though the couple had become engaged while on holiday in Kenya the month before. The pair have already indicated they intend to live without servants once married, though they will still have 24-hour bodyguard protection.
