The wedding was widely broadcast on television, internet, and radio, in more than 180 countries. The “new generation” – Prince William and his brother Harry – have been credited with helping revive interest in the Royal family. Without doubt their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, also paved the way for that change of public sentiment.

About 850 in London, one of which was hosted by Prime Minister David Cameron in Downing Street for charity workers and local children.
