Royal wedding or FA Cup Final: you choose, Wills

-

PRINCE WILLIAM is facing a right royal wedding dilemma. The Duke of Cambridge is the President of the Football Associatio­n and would be expected to present the trophy to the winners of the FA Cup Final on May 18. But I can reveal that this year’s royal wedding is to be held on the same day. Lady Gabriella Windsor, whose father Prince Michael of Kent is a beloved first cousin of the Queen, has chosen May 18 as the day she will marry businessma­n Thomas Kingston ( pictured left) at St George’s Chapel, Windsor. The Queen is among those expected to attend the wedding.

‘Poor William, it will give him another headache,’ a courtier tells me. Ella Windsor attended William’s wedding in 2011 and he would want to return the compliment.

Wills faced the same dilemma last year when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose Cup Final day for their wedding.

Keen football fan Wills had to skip the match between Chelsea and Manchester United, leaving Jackie, the widow of England star Ray Wilkins, to present the trophy.
