How The Attack On Prince Charles Will Change Royal Wedding Plans

From the moment the Royal wedding was announced last month , Prince William has made it clear he wants  this to be a  "people wedding" and has taken deliberate steps to ensure all Britons feel welcome to share in his and Kate Middleton's special day . For starters , he made sure the wedding fell on a Friday (April 29) so that all his country men  can have a three-day weekend . However , after the ugly attack on his father , Prince Charles , during last weeks'  student protests in London , a change has to be made .

"William is devastated that the Palace is insisting on major changes ," a royal insider says . "At this point there will still be open carriages taking members of the family from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abby . But now the gathering will be kept far away from the action that they won't be able to  do much of anything ."

"William is putting up a good fight to keep the wedding as open as possible  but that 's not likely , he's not going to win this battle ," a palace insider says.

Prince Charles and  wife Camille's car was attacked in London by a mob of angry students protesting  the sharp hikes in University fees . Since the shocking episode , a formal investigation into the safety of the Royal Family has been launched which sources say will alter the way the family can interact with the public .

"Security experts are suggesting that bullet-proof cars replace the current fleet of Royal vehicles and carriages  ," an insider says . "Also , the famous Royal Walkabout , where members of the family interact with the public , is a thing of the past . Now it's just much to dangerous ."

The Royals have long resisted advice on security measures that would further remove them from the public  , but in this dangerous world  that we live in , it's hard to argue that  the young Prince is going to have to take a step back.

PIC and I send our very best to Prince William and Kate  may their lives be long and fruitful .

    It makes you happy to snuggle and you still get the wink and the twinkle in the eyes.

  5. We have to snuggle to stay alive right now. What a frigid cold snap we're having. You are having it in the Northern US too. I did a post on Ohio. IT's nasty there too at the moment.

  9. If you've seen one eclipse you've seen them all.
    I'm waiting for the headline that aliens have made first contact.Or maybe that they have found a planet just like earth only there are no spiders there...Yay!

    They actually have found a planet that is virtually made of diamonds.

    Yes I think they better it's a shame people are so dumb.
    I had the understanding that Parliament was in charge of the peoples' money , not the Queen.
    A lot of people will miss her visiting different parts of the country.
    I thought we had all the fools over here .
    Is Parliament just like our Senate and Congress ???

    The Queen has nothing to do with the fees going up .

  12. Yes parliament is just like your senate and congress. It has a House of Lords and a House of Commons. It's a democracy and the queen has very little power at all.

    I always thought it was a dream state.
    When I get these strong feeling, I dream about people places and things and it seems like I am right there looking at them .
    I told that to Mrs. Hattie Sunday when I went to carry her Xmas gift. She told me it was natural and to stop fighting my calling, just embrace it. She said I was meant to see and do things .

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think Mrs Hattie is right. You really have to open yourself completely to everything that is possible, everything you are capable of.

    Sometimes if I am relaxed enough and at peace and in just the right state of mind I can leave my body at will. I feel myself breaking free of my body and flying. I can go wherever I want, mentally, at least.
