Queen Elizabeth Gave Prince William & Kate Middleton the Best Wedding 'Gift' Ever Posted by Maressa Brown on May 22, 2012 at 9:10 PM (THE STIR)



In a new ITV1 documentary about Queen Elizabeth that airs next month, Wills opens up about how when he first started planning his wedding to Kate Middleton, he was handed the original royal wedding guest list (by whom is not clear) with 777 names on it ... and apparently, "not one person I knew or Catherine knew." How horrific! And we thought the royal wedding was all fun and games. Ha!

So how did Wills cope?

He took the list to the Queen! In the documentary, he explains:

I went to her and said, 'Listen, I've got this list, not one person I know – what do I do?’ and [the Queen] went, 'Get rid of it. Start from your friends and then we’ll add those we need to in due course. It’s your day.’ 

WOW! (And I'm not just saying that, because I had no idea the Prince has adopted Valley girl terms like "went" and "goes" instead of "says." But anyway, I digress ...)

Now, okay, I admit that the skeptical side of me thinks that maybe the Queen ended up tossing the royal couple a curveball or two before their "I do"s actually occurred, but still. Must give her props for helping them out with the guest list from the get-go! Usually, couples are dealing with the opposite situation -- aka their parents or grandparents are the ones giving them an enormous list of strangers they have to invite.
