 It was Prince William and Kate Middleton's last rehearsal before Friday's wedding, according to multiple news reports. Prince William and Kate were quickly ushered into a side entrance. "It was really surreal," says Carolyn Houghton from Medford, Ore. "In America, the crowd would have been screaming. But here, everyone was very quiet and orderly.

Opinion polls show a majority of the public want the 28-year-old second in line to the throne to leapfrog his father Prince Charles in the order of succession and take the throne after Queen Elizabeth II. Such a move is highly unlikely, but it is a measure of popularity of Prince William . Where Charles is stuffy, traditional and surrounded by staff, his eldest son, Prince William has managed to lead a relatively normal life by Royal standards.

Even when population differentials are considered, the Sun's incredibly optimistic guesstimate has Prince William and Kate running circles around the groom's parents. An audience of 3 billion would mean a staggering 44 percent of the globe's 6.8 billion tuned in the kids.

Prince William and Country Are Lucky to have Kate

Royal Wedding: Prince William and Country Are Lucky to have Kate Middleton

Sensible, steely but warm-hearted, Kate Middleton will bring a refreshing informality to the custom-bound royals, says Allison Pearson. Marrying the man you love might be considered enough of a first for any woman. But on Friday at 11am, when Catherine Middleton steps into Westminster Abbey to exchange vows with Prince William , this commoner will become a true royal pioneer.

Kate will be the first royal bride to have a university degree, the first to have lived with her husband, Prince William before marriage, the first to have a mother who used to be an air hostess, the first to be raised in a house that has a street number instead of a fancy name and a moat with swans. Whatever snobs may say about the suitability of the match between the middle-class Miss Middleton and the monarchy, there can be no doubt of one glorious fact: some day, she will be the first Queen of the United Kingdom to have fallen over at a roller disco in a pair of yellow hotpants.

It is Kate’s only serious slip-up so far. Not bad for a girl who has had to endure the longest job interview in history. Kate was 19 when, in 2001, she met Prince William during their first term at St Andrews University. Prince William and Kate became friends – and, eight months later, more than that. Fast forward eight years and Kate was two months away from her 29th birthday when
Prince William and Kate Middleton's engagement was announced.
