 It was Prince William and Kate Middleton's last rehearsal before Friday's wedding, according to multiple news reports. Prince William and Kate were quickly ushered into a side entrance. "It was really surreal," says Carolyn Houghton from Medford, Ore. "In America, the crowd would have been screaming. But here, everyone was very quiet and orderly.

Relax in build-up to ceremony

Within touching distance of their wedding, you might expect Prince William and Kate Middleton to be making frantic last-minute arrangements for the biggest day of their lives.

Prince William enjoys a game of football ahead of his wedding. Just 48 hours before she becomes a royal bride, Miss Middleton was spotted unloading a cardboard box from Tesco from her car at Clarence House. The Prince William , meanwhile, played five-a-side football in Battersea Park, south London, wearing a thrown-together kit of mismatched socks, shorts and T-shirt.

Prince William : The Monarchy's New Hope

Prince William : New Hope of The Monarchy

When Prince William walks his university sweetheart Kate Middleton down the aisle on Friday, it will be the next step for Princess Diana's eldest son,
Prince William on his journey to becoming king. Prince William has overcome the tragedy of his mother's death when Prince William was 15 to become the great hope of the British Royal family in the 21st century.

 

Opinion polls show a majority of the public want the 28-year-old second in line to the throne to leapfrog his father Prince Charles in the order of succession and take the throne after Queen Elizabeth II. Such a move is highly unlikely, but it is a measure of popularity of Prince William . Where Charles is stuffy, traditional and surrounded by staff, his eldest son, Prince William has managed to lead a relatively normal life by Royal standards.
