Royal Wedding Set For Rotherham?
2017-01-04
As Prince Harry’s relationship with actress Meghan Markle continues to blossom, plans are already being put in place for the next royal wedding and it looks like it could be coming to Rotherham. Both Buckingham Palace and Downing Street are understood to be keen to move some big show piece events away from the south east of England, and the wedding of Prince Harry is being seen as the first big test of the policy.
An insider told us “Prince Harry has already been consulted about a possible venue. He was a big fan of The Chuckle Brothers as a child – him and William used to drive the Queen mad with their ‘from me to you’ routine – and he knew they came from Rotherham, so thought that would be as good a place as any. When he was shown a picture of the Minster, that sealed it,”
A number of local pubs including The New County, The Effingham and The Angel have reported receiving enquiries about hosting “a big sit down do” sometime within the next 18 months. “This reight posh bloke rang up” said Sharon Pickersgill, landlady at The Effingham “I thought it were a bit funny when he didn’t ask about chicken nuggets for the kids, or the price of Stones’s.”
The Rotherham Bugle understands that Harry’s brother and best man Prince William intends to do a recce when he visits the town on 4th March to watch his favourite team Aston Villa take on the Millers at The New York stadium. “His Royal Highness will be travelling up for the game.” revealed a Royal source. “He’s taking his reconnaissance duties very seriously and will therefore be not getting popped up on the coach as usual. “
