Good news for the royal family!

Among some 2,000 handpicked guests: members of the royal family, dignitaries and politicians. Unfortunately, my name is not on the list. I can only console myself by becoming the proud owner of cloths and other products that flourish in the kitsch souvenir shops. Unless we find a different way to celebrate this historic event. It would seem that I'm lucky, tours devoted to royal couple grow in London right now. So why not spend an afternoon visit to London to discover the haunts of the elite London?

In the footsteps of Will and Kate

So I take one of the few sunny days of winter to learn more about the lives of our lovebirds in the British capital with a visit Royal Wedding Walking Tour of London from Viator. Flanked by Frances, my colleague, and a cardboard silhouette in size of the royal couple (who knows why), so here I am to walk briskly in uptown frequented by the royal family.

We start the visit to Green Park before heading to New Bond Street where we make a stop in front of the window of Garrard, the official jeweler of the crowned heads of Britain from 1843 to 2007. The engagement ring of Princess Diana comes from this shop and, contrary to tradition, was not made to measure, according to the wishes of the Princess of the people. This same ring that William has chosen to offer Kate, in honor of his beloved mother.

A little further, we address a much more tragic moment in the history of the couple. After a dispute over the use of Kate for a clothing brand, Prince William separated from his beautiful and has shown the same evening in a nightclub at Makihi, exclaiming "I am a free man! "Perched on a table, quote the British tabloids were quick to reveal.

We then toured various suppliers of the royal house, the shoemaker who makes the shoes for William and Harry to the oldest wine shop in the country (which, according to the rumor will provide the wine of marriage) through the hatter the Queen, in the middle of the hat making of marriage.

No time to get bored with our guide, Hana, whose speech is punctuated with anecdotes and animated comment. In addition to surprising places and offset, the visit we also go through all the major attractions that make the reputation of London as St James' Palace, the Ritz and Clarence House, official residence of Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

The essential Buckingham Palace

For many tourists to London, Buckingham Palace, home of the Queen, is a must for any visit to London.

This is where the festivities take place after the wedding ceremony. After an official reception, tradition dictates that the couple make an appearance at the palace balcony to greet the admiring crowd, as did in 1981 Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Then follows a gala dinner.

Archive images, we see a huge crowd of people waving British flags on the Mall, which breaks some image protocol of the ceremony. What could be more logical as our lovebirds out of cardboard in front of the palace, which has earned us the smirks and sneers of passers-by. In any case, we are delighted with our photos taken Will and Kate to us!

The tour ends after two hours in front of Westminster Abbey, which will host the ceremony. Frozen and a little tired of wearing our couple of cardboard all the afternoon, we are no less delighted with this tour and the excitement of the royal wedding seems to have won too.

All romance, and patriotism this extravagance brought a ray of sunshine in the middle of this long, cold winter. So let free rein to the media hype and race back memories! Long live the royal circus!
