I've been looking forward to it since their engagement last November...I'm so ready!) and so does most people around the world! Lucky Brits, they're on national holiday! If you are, be sure to tune in to your television now for live broadcast, turn on your radio to hear all about it, or login online for live streaming. You can also, check out

If you're not watching or not into royal weddings, perhaps you're into movies involving the Royals, right? Well, I have some movie recommendations (in royalty genre) for you here in honor and celebration of William & Kate's wedding today. Some of these movies are related to or descendants to Prince William and his Royal family (ie. The Young Victoria, The King's Speech, and The Lost Prince to name a few) as well as his late mother, Princess Diana (her great-great aunt Georgiana Spencer, the Duchess of Devonshire in the film, The Duchess).
