Here are some more photos from guest attending the dinner after the wedding. Carole looks great, especially with her hair up. I think she should have worn it up for the wedding ceremony. The younger crowd attended an after part at the Goring Hotel after the dinner at Buckingham Palace - there is just no hope for Beatrice Beeatrice, Eugenie and Chelsey in the van I bet Harry had a REALLY good time

She needs to gain all the weight she loss post engagement announcement. Which was probably 5-10 pounds. She's the type of girls that a 5 pounds weight loss or gain is noticeable.

The German taboids are crazy about them. I just saw ca. 5-6 special editions, and many, many headlines. Don´t think that the Princely wedding will get this coverage. Even Victorias wedding had not so many.

Hola has in it's cover one of the official pics: It says: All the details about the spectacular wedding of William and Catherine. Pippa Middleton: the revelation. Well, i think Charlene will ask brother Gareth to wear a similar dress to Pippa to make it to the headlines of sugary and non sugar magazines ;D

[/img] Royal wedding and sun help retailers High street gets much-needed boost after poor March sales, says BRC, while Rics housing survey finds signs of an upturn People walk past a clothes shop in London in April. UK retail sales unexpectedly grew People walk past a clothes shop in London's Regents Street. The hottest April on record got people out buying summer clothing, said one analyst. Photograph: Adrian Dennis/AFP/Getty Images The royal wedding, a late Easter and a sunny April wooed consumers back to the shops last month and provided a boost to activity in the high street, the British Retail Consortium said today. In its monthly health check of spending, the BRC said trading picked up significantly after a weak March, when sales posted their sharpest decline since the survey was established in the mid-1990s. Overall, the value of retail sales according to the BRC/KPMG monitor were up 6.9% on April 2010, and by 5.2% on a like-for-like basis, which strips out the impact of retailers adding to their floorspace over the past year. Estate agents also reported that the start to the traditional spring buying season had prompted an increase both in the number of properties on the market and those looking to purchase a home, although prices continued to fall. Stephen Robertson, BRC director general, said: "Easter and the royal wedding bank holiday provided a badly needed boost to many retailers during April. Food sales were strong leading up to Good Friday, suggesting most families prioritised their spending on the Easter celebrations. The hottest April since records began got people out spending on summer clothing and footwear. "Considered together, the results for March and April largely cancel each other out and the overall trend is flat." Helen Dickinson, head of retail at KPMG, said: "As expected, the combination of a late Easter, dry and sunny weather, and the royal wedding feelgood factor, has provided a very welcome respite in a challenging retail trading environment. Most sectors showed a significant uplift on the prior year and on recent months, with food, drink, clothing and footwear leading the way. "The question now is whether this is indicative of a corner having been turned from the longer term downward trend in demand. Given the three-month average is still heading in a downward direction with 1.8% total and 0.1% sales growth for February to April compared to 2.7% total and 0.8% for the three months to January, this is unlikely to be case. Hence, the majority of retailers remain cautious about the outlook for the remainder of the year." The monthly report on the housing market from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors showed a balance of +18 percentage points of estate agents reporting a rise rather than a fall in new instructions to sell properties, up from +4 points in March. It said there were also signs of demand steadying, with as many surveyors reporting an increase in new buyer inquiries as reporting a fall, the first time the balance has not been negative in 10 months. Rics' housing spokesman, Michael Newey, said: "The return of sellers to the market is positive but activity still remains subdued and it is difficult to see it picking up materially over the coming months. Although there are signs that some lenders may be reducing their grip on the purse strings, in particular with mortgages aimed at first time buyers, there is still a long way to go before lending levels increase enough to have any real impact. Economic uncertainty may also continue to weigh on sentiment for a while to come." Rics said fine weather led to more viewings by potential buyers in some parts of the UK but surveyors say a lack of mortgage finance still hinders many, with only the cash-rich able to take advantage of the market. After yesterday's Halifax house price survey, which showed the cost of a home fell by 1.4% last month, the Rics said a balance of + 21% of surveyors reported prices fell rather than rose in April, the strongest figure since June. Martin Ellis, housing economist, said: "Weak confidence amongst households, partly due to uncertainty over the economic outlook, is constraining housing demand and resulting in some downward movement in prices. Signs of a modest tightening in housing market conditions, a relatively low burden of servicing mortgage debt and an increase in the number of people in employment are all likely to be providing support for house prices, curbing the pace of decline."

Mirror mirror: The striking similarity between Kate's Royal Wedding dress and the gown worn by Berlusconi's princess goddaughter (but who is the fairest of them all?) There were gasps across the world when the new Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in her wedding gown at Westminster Abbey last month. But another princess across Europe was more stunned than most as Prince William's bride walked down the aisle in her couture gown by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. Isabella Orsini, who is the goddaughter of Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, married Belgian Prince Edouard de Ligne two years ago in a startlingly similar dress. Although hers was made for her by Belgian designer Gerald Watelet, it bore many similar hallmarks, from the lace applique bodice and sleeves to its full skirt and dramatic train. More... www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1386159/Kate-Middleton-Isabella-Orsini-wedding-dresses-strikingly-similar.html#ixzz1MAMx0o00 Edited: Got to love these comments: That is not the only thing the Want-to-be Princess plagarized. Her and brother James with his large, round, exposed buttocks posing everywhere nude are a disgrace to the royal family. Disgraceful shots are all over the web. Not to mention her sister Pippa grinding on that man with only bra and slip on. These pathetic people are going to bring the House of Windsor down and topple the monarchy. Soon disgrace revelations will show up about the Queen Pretender

Kate's dress looked just like Isabella's. I've got to question Sarah Burton a bit about this one.

The only similarity that I see is that both dress are a lace dress and it a V neck cut. The lace have different designs, The skirts are different and Catherine dress fits her better. Catherine dress look more like Princess Margaret, they only that made it look like Grace was the lace.
It doesn't matter what the bride wore, people would have said she copy someone. Well duh it a wedding dress there only so much you can do, especially with a classic Silhouette.
And nothing is original, especially when it comes to fashion.
