LONDON (AP):
Palace officials will offer live streaming of the April 29 royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton on the royal channel on YouTube.
The four-hour live Internet coverage will include the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, the procession to Buckingham Palace, and the newly-weds' appearance on the palace balcony for an expected first public kiss. William's press office will also provide a live blog providing commentary and historical information as well as additional footage.
"The couple wish to strike a balance between a day that is sacred and intimate and a day that will be a cause for global celebration," a St James' Palace spokesman said Tuesday, declining to be identified because of palace policy. "To that end, they want the wedding to be as accessible to as many people as possible, and that's why they are communicating in this way."
