Kate in black at friend’s wedding

William and Kate revealed more details of their own wedding plans this week

The nation is eager to see her big white dress, but Kate Middleton chose a little black one for a friend’s wedding this weekend.

Prince William, 28, and his future bride attended the wedding of Harry Aubrey-Fletcher and Louise Stourton in Boroughbridge, West Yorkshire.

Miss Middleton – who turns 29 on Sunday – wore a black velvet coat, black dress and black pill box hat.

The royal couple will tie the knot themselves on 29 April.

The Mail on Sunday reported that Prince Harry and Princess Beatrice were also among the guests at the wedding.

The royal bride-to-be was accompanied by a number of security personnel, it added.

The groom was reportedly one of William’s oldest friends and a fellow pupil at Eton school.

More details of William and Kate’s wedding day plans were recently released by St James’s Palace.

The service will begin at 1100 BST at Westminster Abbey and they will be married by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Miss Middleton will travel to the abbey in a car – rather than a glass coach – but afterwards, the newly-weds will return to Buckingham Palace in a formal carriage procession.

A large reception will take place in the afternoon and in the evening there will be a smaller, private dinner followed by dancing.
