Prince William greets wellwishers hours before big event

LONDON—On the eve of W-Day, the boys came out to say hey.



Unexpectedly, with no warning, Princes William and Harry appeared here Thursday night, plunging into the crowd of royal wedding campers outside Clarence House.



Dressed casually in pullover and jeans, the groom shook hands and chatted amiably with fans who appeared intent on smothering him with affection and good cheer.



“A little bit nervous,’’ Williams admitted when asked, repeatedly, how he was holding up on the threshhold of husband-hood and a wedding spectacle that is expected to be watched by a record TV audience of 2 billion the world over.



“Are you going to be all right?’’ the 29-year-old prince asked solicitously, clearly concerned about these die-hard royalists preparing to spend a chilly night on the pavement to secure best-viewing spots.



Taking time out from his few remaining hours as a single man was a sweet gesture, William becoming ever more adept at, and comfortable with, the walkabout, bending over to greet youngsters as he strolled along the Mall, not seeming to mind in the least as shrieking women touched his person and men slapped congratulations on his shoulder.

Review: William and Kate – The Movie

Kate Middleton

With less than a week to go untilthe Royal Wedding, the media frenzy is hitting overdrive, and now, we have possibly the most cringeworthy addition yet: William and Kate – The Movie.

The film, which follows the couple from their very first meeting at St Andrews University, through the trials and tribulations of their relationship, was made by Lifestyle in the US, and aired today on Channel 5 on this side of the pond.


At 1hour 45minutes once the inevitable ad breaks which comewith made for tv movies are added in, the film feels long, and perhaps it would be more easily digested in an hour, as currently its cringe inducing style just feels like it outstays it’s welcome.
The film also takes some serious liberties with the truth for the sake of keeping the narrative going. There are certain scenes which just don’t come across as even vaguely believable, and are pushing the bounds of even what is acceptable in cheesy rom-com territory.


One particularly funny sequence sees the future king serenade hisbeloved in a karaoke bar to show her that he is sorry. If this genuinely happened, I’ll eat my own hat (or one of the ones which the royal women will wear come Friday).


As the film reaches it’s finale – the proposal in Kenya – the CGI backdrop is just shocking to look at, and it makes you wonder why they even bothered to show it, as the penultimate scene could have closed the film just as well, without bringing it down any further into the mire.


That being said, while the film – which was made on a shoestringbudget – is almost unforgivably bad, it actually succeeds in beingso bad it verges on incredibly funny.
Taking a script that’s so bad it feels like it was written over lunch, and a series of actors who I honestly don’t believe know the meaning of the word, the overall combination genuinely makes something far better thanthe sum of its parts.
