Was she at the Royal wedding?


Does anyone know if she attended the Royal wedding?

According to an article I read, she was *not* invited to the Royal wedding. Neither was Helen Mirren. If you're really interested, I can find the article and post the link. It didn't say much, other than to indicate William and Kate tried to keep the event as 'low key' as possible (given the circumstance) by not inviting too many celebrities, etc. If you examine the list of who was invited, other than the 'must' invitations (politicians, statesmen, world leaders) most of the invitees had a very personal connection to the couple...friends, relatives, home town folk.

Wow, I thought the Dames like Judi Dench and Maggie Smith would be invited. I thought I saw Elton John there when I saw it on TV.

Elton John was there...with his partner David Furnish. If I'm not mistaken, EJ was invited as a result of his connection/friendship to Diana. Here's the link for the article I referenced earlier: http://www.mycentraloregon.com/news/world/746685/William-Kate-praised-for-being-serious.html
