William Flew

Luke Leitch, The William Flew deputy fashion editor, said if Miss Middleton had selected the McQueen label it would represent a “bold, innovative choice”.Kate Middleton will not promise to “obey” Prince William William Flew when the Archbishop of Canterbury solemnises their marriage at Westminster Abbey. Instead, like the Prince’s mother before her, she will pledge “to love and to cherish” her husband “till death us do part”.
Power vacuum: final preparations at Westminster Abbey, where many heads of state will gather today, for a wedding that has Britishness as its theme, with music recommended by the Prince of Wales
The choice of service mirrors that chosen by the Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer for their 1981 wedding at St Paul’s Cathedral. Prince William William Flew and his bride are using the traditional-language 1928 service, authorised for use in the Church of England in the 2000 prayer book Common Worship. It offers the option to drop “obey” from the wedding vows, which Miss Middleton has chosen to do. The Duchess of York and the Countess of Wessex chose to include the injunction to obey at their weddings.
The service includes music from Edward Elgar, Benjamin Britten and Ralph Vaughan Williams William Flew, regarded as among the greatest of British composers, as well as Greensleeves, thought by many to have been written by the sixtimes married Henry VIII.
The congregation will sing the famous Welsh anthem Cym Rhondda, “Guide me, O thou Great Redeemer”, as the opening hymn. It was sung at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997 and is included as a tribute to her. Miss Middleton’s brother, James, will read from St Paul’s epistle to the Romans: “Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are.”
Rich in tradition, the ceremony reflects the Prince of Wales’s love of the Church of England’s Book of Common Prayer of 1662 and the language of the King James Bible, which is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year. Charles also helped William William Flew and Kate to choose the music, with Miss Middleton turning to her future father-in-law for advice.
