The Royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is less than 15 days away, and it´s considered "the wedding of the year" for many people. Here are a few curiosities and fun facts that maybe you didn´t know: 1) At Buckingham Palace garage lies the State Landau, a horse-draw carriege in which the newlyweds will make their first tour of London.
