Bruce Oldfield is such a tease!  Being the frontrunner in the current speculation over Kate Middleton’s wedding dress designer, Bruce has this to say during his interview with NBC.  He reveals that Kate would need TWO gowns — one for the wedding and another for the ball.  Does this suggest he’s doing the dress for the ball?

William in RAF uniform


What about the grooms outfit?

Prince William will wear a military uniform made by Savile Row outfitters Gieves & Hawkes for his wedding in April 29. He has decided to follow the example set by his father Prince Charles and his uncle Prince Andrew who were both married in uniform.

He is eligible to wear the uniforms of any of the three services, although he is currently training with the RAF. One source quoted in Hello magazine, said: “Prince William did have the option to wear a normal suit but has decided to wear a military uniform. He will decide in due course which one he will choose.”

The world famous Savile Row bespoke suit makers have a long association with the royal family and hold three “By Appointment” warrants from the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales. The starting price for an RAF uniform is £2,800. One of their suits can take up to 10 weeks to make and will involve at list two sittings.

Royal Wedding: Who pays the bill?

Even the royals have a budget! The actual expenditure for any aspect of the royal wedding will never be made public. But aides are keen to stress the total bill won’t be millions of dollars, but rather a six-figure sum – as it was back in 1981 when Charles and Diana married. This undisclosed bill will be for the dress, the bridesmaids’ outfits, the flowers, and the two receptions.

These are taking place at Buckingham Palace where staff are both well used to catering for such numbers and for cutting costs when necessary. The Royal Family will pay for the bulk of the expense while the public will pay for security.
The article also explores how the cost will be divided among William & Kate’s families, and how the royal family makes their money.
