Royal knees-up: Prince Harry is calling his part of the wedding planning 'wedmin'
The 26-year-old, who is calling his part of the Royal Wedding planning ‘wedmin’, is said to be heavily involved with arrangements for the evening celebrations and wants to give William and his bride a party to remember.
Three of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace will be converted into a nightclub on the night of the wedding and Harry, who is best man, has organised for the DJ to play into the early hours, while caterers have been briefed to prepare bacon sandwiches and fry-ups for those guests still standing at the end of the night.
And although the bride and groom may not manage to stay up – they are leaving for their honeymoon the next morning – Harry, known for his partying stamina at nightclubs Raffles and Boujis, hopes many of their friends will be dancing until dawn.
The Prince has played a significant role in planning the evening celebrations, which are being hosted by his father Prince Charles.
Just 300 guests have been invited to the exclusive party, which includes a drinks reception from 7pm followed by a dinner and speeches and then dancing.
Charles and Camilla, who have arranged for a performance by Bollywood dance duo Sandip Soparrkar and his wife Jesse Randhawa, have asked around 100 family and friends, while the bride and groom have invited 200 friends from school and university and Prince William’s ‘Glosse Posse’ set from Gloucestershire.
Sources close to William and Harry have instructed aides to plan a proper ‘knees up’, and courtiers are expecting it to carry on into the next day.
Charles has hired chef Anton Mosimann to prepare the three-course meal while party planners Fait Accompli are understood to be overseeing the entertainment. A bar will serve spirits, cocktails and champagne all night.
