LONDON, ENGLAND, November 20, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is set to take place in London in 2011 and is already touted as being one of the highlights of the year in the capital.
Plenty of tourists at Park Lane hotels will no doubt hope to get a glimpse of the pair on their special day, although it has not yet been confirmed whether the ceremony will take place in spring or summer.
A statement from Clarence House revealed that Prince William became engaged to Miss Middleton during a holiday in Kenya last month.
The royal institution confirmed the prince, who is currently training to be a search and rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force, asked permission from her father to take her hand in marriage.
Discussing the happy occasion, VisitBritain chief executive Sandie Dawe pointed out that the wedding is sure to attract plenty of tourists to accommodation in the capital, such as the Park Lane Mews Hotel London.
She described the pair as a "modern couple" and claimed the ceremony will be a great chance to show contemporary Britain to the world.
"The wedding dress will give us a chance to highlight our designers, while the wedding gifts will showcase our outstanding craftspeople, potters, glass and textiles," added Ms Dawe.
