^ Really? That's interesting... I'd thought that they'd known all along!
That doesn't make sense as The Queen would have to have given her consent and then the press have time to gather - that would take more than two hours to arrange. Just the sheer logistics would indicate that she knew earlier than two hours earlier that they were engaged and the same with Charles.
Prince William and Kate Middleton to have Royal wedding at Westminster Abbey | Mail Online
Prince William and Kate Middleton are to marry at Westminster Abbey, the Daily Mail can reveal.
Our exclusive picture shows Kate, 28, paying a secret visit last night to the historic church that witnessed Princess Diana’s funeral.
It also became increasingly likely that the wedding will take place in March.
There is no reason why Camilla should not attend William's wedding. In fact, I would love to see William greet Camilla at the entrance to the abbey and personally escort her to her seat before the wedding begins. What a way to shush her critics, right?
William's official permission to marry will occur in the next few months.
William already will have the Queen's permission or else the engagement wouldn't have been announced. Signing the paper work will happen at some Privy Council meeting before the wedding.
This makes the most sense to me. As far as who knew of the engagement before Tuesday, I do believe that it was kept totally private with perhaps only the immediate family of both William and Kate in the know. There was no real reason for anyone such as courtiers and the press to know until right before the actual public announcement.
Along these lines as to how fast things moved in setting up the engagement photo-op and the interview, I also think that the wedding plans are going to go swiftly and the wedding be as early as they can pull it all together. I read in one article (can't remember where) that William doesn't want this to drag out and put unnecessary stress on Kate. I do think that March is very much a possibility here.
why haven't photos been released? official ones, with family?
I'm a little confused! I thought that the Queen only had to give consent to a royal marriage if the royal in question was under 25 years of age!?
Spends following weekend at Balmoral and speaks to Michael Middleton.

Odd, I would have thought he would have asked for Kates hand before he proposed.

Sounds about right to me.The Timeline goes something like this from the interviews William's done...
I would love to be an insider as to what is going on in Kate's mind now that the engagement is announced and she and William are sitting in rooms discussing whether the wedding will be held at Westminster Abby, St. Paul's Cathedral or the Chapel Royal. What Heads of State, Royalty and famous people she has never met will be invited, etc... It has got to be a surreal experience for a girl that had an ordinary upbringing.
I refused to watch it as never being a fan of Diana I would regard it as a hypocrite to watch that service - which brings me to the next point - will the Diana fanatics stop Camilla attending William's wedding?)
