Royal Wedding

Kate Middleton and Prince William exchanged vows on Friday at Westminster Abbey in London, becoming in husband and wife.
About 1900 people attended the ceremony, while the estimates are that images of the union is seen by 2 billion people worldwide.
Crowds flocked to central London to attend the wedding. It is estimated that between 3000 and 5000 people had camped overnight around the abbey.
Thousands more sleep camped along the route the couple, between the church and Buckingham Palace.


Kate Middleton arrived at the abbey wearing a long dress and white lace sleeves, letting on his shoulders. The work was done by the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court.
Under the veil of 2.70 meters, Kate wore a diamond tiara - loaned by the Queen herself - and two delicate earrings with diamonds.
The piece was designed by Sarah Burton, creative director of fashion label founded by Alexander McQueen, a British fashion icon who died last year.


The designer himself was a figure "emerging" in British society, set up in a modest neighborhood in east London.
In part of its brand, the daughter of Carole and Michael Middleton was raised to the Duchess of Cambridge.
The title passed to her after the Prince received the Queen Elizabeth the 2nd Duke of Cambridge on Friday.



The prince also became Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus, turning in Kate Strathearn Countess and Baroness of Carrickfergus.
Renewal
Analysts say more than a simple union, marriage represents a real hope for renewal of the British monarchy.
Specialists in the history of royalty in the UK claim that members of the monarchy, aristocracy and the British political world believe marriage of Kate and William will survive and will be long and happy, unlike many recent marriages of the royal family in the country.


According to the BBC's Peter Hunt specializing in the monarchy, the royal "survives to be noticed and wither if ignored."


Therefore, he says, weddings are important for the royal family, because "reinvigorate the ancient institutions," renew the public's interest in its activities and promise the arrival of a new generation - that perpetuate the dynasty of Windsor.


Despite enormous changes in the attitude of royalty since the beginning of the reign of Elizabeth 2nd, 1952, opinion polls show a majority of the population still supports the British status quo. Last week, the Guardian newspaper published consultation revealed that 66% of the public believes that the royalty is relevant to life in the UK.
