Royal Wedding Plans In Hand

Following the announcement of Prince William's engagement to Kate Middleton, plans are already underway for the wedding due to take place next year.

The Prince and his bride-to-be will sit down with royal advisers today in preparation for their big day.

William proposed to Kate, using his mother Diana, Princess of Wales's engagement ring, while on holiday in Kenya last month.

Their engagement was publicly announced yesterday.

It has been reported that the wedding will take place next spring or summer.

A St James's Palace spokesman stressed the couple will be very involved in organising the event, while being "mindful of the economic situation".
