Reports: Prince Harry calls brother 'the Dude'
Recommend
The post-wedding private dinner/dance party was off-limits to the media but the British papers nevertheless had plenty of details thanks to their (unnamed) sources among the 350 guests, mostly young cousins and pals of the couple.
Every national paper published souvenir editions on Sunday, filled with photos and juicy details. Papers such as The Sunday Telegraph and The Sunday Mirror reported that master-of-ceremonies Prince Harry was "hilarious" in his speeches, calling brother William "the Dude" instead of the Duke, and joshing about his thinning hair. Both paid touching tribute to their mother, the late Princess Diana, who would have loved to have been there and would have been "so proud" of her son.
William several times said how beautiful his bride looked. The menu for the dinner, hosted by Prince Charles, included Champagne and peach Bellinis, fillet of lamb done three ways, and mini puddings for dessert. The huge palace Throne Room, where the wedding photos had been taken hours earlier, was transformed into a massive nightclub for dancing and drinking.
Young British singer Ellie Goulding performed with a live band, singing Elton John's Your Song for the couple. William and Catherine even danced a joke dance to the song from Grease, You're The One That I Want. Fireworks were heard, too. The revelries went on until at least 3 a.m., until bleary-eyed guests, including Harry, stumbled back to their hotels. Everyone who talked to reporters said it was an unforgettable party to conclude an unforgettable day.
