The Royal Wedding: Unveiled
A sneak peek at William's first dance?

A sneak peek at William's first dance?

It’s not at all uncommon to see a just-married bride and groom waltz across the floor or bust a move at an American wedding reception, but the royals seem to be doing things a bit differently.

Prince William’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, is hosting the reception at Buckingham Palace following the April 29 wedding, and everyone’s hoping that William and Kate will make the traditional appearance on the Palace balcony and share a public smooch.

Kicking up one’s heels, however, doesn’t appear to be on the agenda - and maybe there’s a reason for that. Have you seen Prince William dance?

The royal's hilarious (and adorable) dancing skills were caught on camera at a 2007 concert honoring his late mother Diana. He's seen in the video above unabashedly breaking out some old-school, "OMG-Dad-you’re-embarrassing-me!" moves that even his brother Harry has to object to.

On second thought (and after rewinding that a few times) Prince William, we're really, really hoping you dance.

    Thank you for putting this where it belongs, CNN: in the Entertainment section.

      Yes, sadly it should be here. The media has made nothing but Entertainment out of Will and Kate!

      So, why did you read it at all if you're so UNinterested? Just go back to the blood, the starvation, the war, the famine, the nuclear melt down, the crime, disease, etc, since that seems to bring you so much joy, and leave out the snarky comments about a lovely couple in love, about to take a walk down the isle.

      I have to agree that I am one of the people who is totally am against the hype surrounding the wedding. Nobody is gonna get anything personally from this and the royal family isn't doing much to people. They are living out of people's money. That said I wouldn't blame CNN putting it here. For the first time, they have this in the entertainment section. So that is a good thing. People who want to read can read it, others who want serious news can stay there. But if any article on the wedding comes in the first page of cnn, I am against it.

      dioadakkv on January 11, 2009 They don't have the reputation but Kia has the same quality as Toyota, cuz think. If Kia were crap and they gave Such a long warranty for everything people will start to return faulty cars and Kia Would go bankrupt from repairing KIas. So i think this warranty Which Kia Gives is to show that they are really confident in their car's Quality. END

      Although I could not possibly care less about this wedding.. I will say this... you gotta stick SOME "not so bad" news in there somewhere. otherwise if all posted news was bad.. people would be jumping off buildings and eating self fired bullets all over the place... LOL

      that being said.. I'd rather see some humorous news instead of this crap.

      that's a silly post...you come to the entertainment section and talk about world problems, which have and always will exist. maybe you suggest all entertainment you don't deem committed to changing the world, should be banned. let's see: cinemas, television, most books, all video games, most online sites, all dancing, most music, most all concerts and probably skywriting. there you go!
      i award you the "laugh license revoker" of the month award. enjoy, hmmm..well, not possible, i guess.

      thats really messed up you should never hope anything like that on anyone! People are interested in this wedding because its continuing a monarchy that has continued for over hundreds of years! I am from nearly the opposite side of the world here in california but i still respect the monarchy and without those monarchies things we have today like free speech and even our country itself would cease to exist!

    If the media really cared about them or believe the Royal Wedding matters they shouldn't have put Will and Kate out like this. The way the media is idolizing the couple is ashame! IF the Royal Wedding matters you don't go out reporting all of this! Get off Williams personal life and stick to what matters!

    Why is it all or nothing with some of you? Honestly this is a harmless piece in the entertainment section, meant to lighten all the bad and stressful news. Why must one exclude the other? I enjoy some celebrity news...some does seem out of place, but really, it doesn't mean any of us are unaware of the happenings of this country and the world.

    I'm okay with his dancing. He's just hanging in there trying to have fun (like a ot of us should be doing more often than not). He looks like he is holding onto the steering wheel of a car and my suggestion to him would be to just occasionally let go of the wheel and go with the flow.

    Lol I don't get it. They put this on us like this wedding is going to solve our issues here in the usa..I see "what movies to watch to get you ready for the wedding" and what to wear for the wedding" then I ask myself why are yal getting us prepared for something we weren't invited to? Lol we aren't going so why should we care? Lol but no seriously with all the things going in their country I would think that would be more important than a one day event..just saying. I'm a black man in America and I don't think a wedding that's going on in England matters.. Unless that wedding is gong to lower gas prices then get if off the news every 5 seconds..

    Maybe if more people would do some of their own silly dancing this world wouldn't be in such a mess. Lighten up people! Isn't anyone allowed to read something that is just for the fun of it anymore? Some of us like to know that there are still good things going on in this world. If you doom and gloomers out there don't like it, don't read it!
