Melbourne, Apr 18 (ANI): A spoof royal wedding video of the Royal Family dancing up the aisle has become a hit on the Internet.
The advertisement for phone company T-Mobile received 3.5 million views on YouTube in just two days, the Herald Sun reported.
The video features a “right royal knees” up with uncanny look-alikes grooving down the aisle to the song ‘House of Love’ by 1990s boy band East 17.
The Archbishop of Canterbury leaps to the altar, followed by a prancing Princess Anne and Zara Phillips, a skipping Prince Edward, a bottom-bumping Charles and Camilla, a clapping Queen, and a pelvis-thrusting Harry.
The church breaks into cheers when Prince William leapfrogs his brother and fist pumps the air before pointing to his bride.
Catherine, dressed in a strapless gown, hip grinds with her husband-to-be and then grooves to the altar.
T-Mobile said the ad was “a congratulatory message to William and Kate, as well as a way of capturing the nation’s celebratory mood”.
The ad is based on the now famous Jill and Kevin’s wedding processional clip that shows a wedding party dancing up the aisle and which has been viewed more than 64 million times.
T-Mobile tapped into a canny marketing tactic playing off the global appeal of the royal wedding and viral advertising. (ANI)
