The Royal Wedding, William & Catherine

Official royal wedding guest list and seating plan
2011/04/29

LONDON — The palace released a full list of confirmed guests and the seating plan for the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate middleton. It included Canadian Governor General David Johnston and his wife, Sharon.

Canadian billionaire Galen Weston and his wife Hilary, left, were among the invited guests. Weston, a close personal friend of the groom’s father, Prince Charles, is CEO of George Weston Ltd. and chairman of several other companies, including Loblaw and Holt Renfrew.

Many of the 1,900 invitees had already been mentioned in the media, including soccer star David Beckham and his wife Victoria, director Guy Ritchie and musician Elton John, presumably in the company of his Toronto-born partner David Furnish.

About 40 other foreign royals from countries including Denmark, Norway, Spain, Thailand and Morocco will be in attendance.

Other guests include British government and defence officials, British soldiers who fought in Afghanistan and people who work for William’s charities.

Palace officials said that only crowned heads of states are traditionally invited to royal weddings, and that political leaders who are not from the 54-member Commonwealth of nations, weren’t sent invitations.

The seating plan for the April 29 ceremony at Westminster Abbey revealed the select few who will witness the ceremony up close. About 1,000 people will sit in the section of the abbey where views of the altar are restricted.

Queen Elizabeth II and other royal family members will sit in the front row across the aisle from the Middleton family. They will be closest to the abbey’s sanctuary, where William and his bride will stand.

The Middletons will sit with the couple’s friends and Princess Diana’s Spencer family.

Security will be tight for the occasion. Approximately 5,000 police officers will be deployed, including more than 900 lining the royal procession, in addition to 35 sniffer dogs. The route will be bolstered by 11,000 barriers.
