Prince William to spend wedding eve with dad
April 20th, 2011 - 6:17 pm ICT by ANI
London, Apr 20 (ANI): Prince William is expected to spend quality time with his father on the eve of his wedding to Kate Middleton.
Prince Charles will cut short his Easter break at Birkhall, Scotland, to offer his eldest son support as he prepares for the biggest day of his life.
The pair will spend the night before the wedding at St James’s Palace and will see each other before William and brother Harry, his best man, head to Westminster Abbey.
The gesture is a sign of 28-year-old William’s closeness to his dad. It is understood Charles’ determination to support him explains why he is now not expected to attend an April 28 dinner for foreign royals hosted by the Queen.
“Prince Charles is a loving father who’s a lot closer to his sons than people often realise. He’s made it clear his priority in the hours before the wedding is his son,” the Sun quoted a senior Royal source as saying.
Harry, 26, will also be with William to ease any nerves. The source added: “They’re very close. It’s possible they’ll spend time alone with their father on the eve of the wedding. (ANI)
