Princes William and Harry of Wales were on hand today to attend the wedding of friends Nicholas van Cutsem and Alice Hadden-Paton in London and Wills brought along longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton as his date. Altho Nicholas and Alice aren’t members of the royal family, their nuptials automatically got a royal bump based on their guest list ;)
The pressure on Prince William to pop the question to girlfriend of eight years Kate Middleton is greater than ever. The couple were dressed in their finest for the wedding of close friends Nicholas van Cutsem and Alice Hadden-Paton who became engaged after only one and a half years together. And perhaps Kate is hoping William gets the hint. She has been dubbed ‘Waity Katie’ for her staying power in the long-running royal romance which friends are convinced will eventually end in marriage. Today at the Wellington Barracks in London, patient Kate looked stunning in a cornflower blue brocade coat over an oyster white dress, finished with a delicate fascinator. William and Prince Harry, who was also a guest at the wedding in the Guards Chapel, were just as smart in their three-piece morning suits. The 31-year-old groom is a life guard in the Household Cavalry, while his new wife Alice, 25, works as an events manager. Her brother Harry Hadden-Paton has made a name for himself as a West End actor. The wedding of Nicholas and Alice is thought to have caught William off guard. But despite rumours of an impending engagement to Kate, sources say the Prince is too busy to get married. He is training to become an RAF search and rescue pilot, and has tours of Australia and South Africa planned. It may not be until Kate and William turn 30 that they tie the knot. They are both 27.
LOL. This Nicholas dude and his new bride Alice got themselves hitched after such a short time together, compared to how long Wills has been with Kate. If she’s hoping to land her prince, she’s still got some time to wait. Truth be told, I’m certain that Willy and Katie will end up married … they seem well-suited for one another. Mark my words, they will tie the knot some day … just not today. I must say, the young princes looked very handsome in their finery today. I’m sure Mr. and Mrs. van Cutsem were most appreciative that the young royals deigned to attend their nuptials. Congrats to the happy couple!

Hmm yeah they ought to marry before he loses *all* his hair.
Mmmmm Prince hot ginge looking smexy
Kate looks amazing and I hope their wedding comes sooner rather than later…. I’m tired of waiting. However it’s going to be equally fun to see who Harry ends up with he is HOT property at the moment!1
Why do the women wear those idiot hats? Am I the only one that thinks they won’t marry? He doesn’t seem like he wants to though it seems like Kate has given up her life for it and that never works out.
Hey- William and Harry aren’t princes of Wales… there’s only one at a time- just Prince Charles at the moment. When Charles becomes king, William will most likely become the Prince of Wales. :)
@el — What I meant was that they are Princes, from Wales
what, would wills rather go bald than be a ginger? too bad cuz harry’s a hot ginger.
Some men look (surprisingly) good bald, but William is not one of them. He needs to invest on a hair piece or some kind of implant treatment.
no matter how much hair william loses i still think he looks better than harry plus he is definately a better prince.i am sure he and kate willl be together forever eight years is a long time especially having so many women who would be after someone of his position..they both look great.they both seem commited and happy together married or not.congrats to the married couple
Prince Harry is WAYYY hotter than William and lately he’s been acting like a much better Prince with his charity work and trip to New York. Even his breakup with his long time girlfriend was low key, not a tabloid event like everything involving William’s girlfriend. I hope they skip Will and make Harry KING!!!
@Trent…but they still aren’t princes from Wales. They’re not Welsh.
That dress and hat are horrible, they look like they came from the queen mothers’ closet!
Okay the dress, hat and her wearing her hair down, it’s not a good mix.
Wow it’s been 8 years already for Kate and Wills!?
Did Wills and Harry wear the same outfit? How embarrassing!
Both Wills and Harry were groomsmen at the wedding, which is why they’re in the same morning suits. If you notice the groom is also wearing a blue shirt and his tie is the same colour as Wills and Harry’s vests.
Her dress looks stunning but if they call THAT thing a ‘delicate’ fascinator, I don’t even want to know what a bold fascinator would look like. You almost can’t see the poor girl’s head!
The dress actually looks beautiful. Love the tailored details. Not loving the balding prince. But I’m sure he has a lovely personality.

Prince William seems to be losing his hair.
ahh whatever, marriage is overrated. my boyfriend and I just celebrated our 9 year anniversary… i’m sure we’ll get married someday down the line, but for the time being: if it ain’t broke, why fix it? I like that William and Kate have this more modern approach as well. Marriage is kinda obsolete these days.
Oh God Trent get logical! William will be the next King Of England – he can’t just get fucking hitched to some woman. They gotta keep it as traditional as they can.
