Think wedding planning is tough with your family weighing in? Try being a royal.
About two weeks after Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement, "I was given a list in the first meeting of 777 names, and not one of them on there I knew," William reveals on The Jubilee Queen With Katie Couric, a special marking the Queen's Jubilee. "So it was a bit daunting and it was like, well, that seems to be the guest list's sorted, but no room for friends or family. And I wasn't too happy about it."
Queen Elizabeth to the rescue.
"I rang her for a bit of moral support and a bit of backup," he says. "She said, 'Ridiculous. Get rid of the list. Start from your friends.' "

The crowds gathered on The Mall, the London thoroughfare in front of Buckingham Palace, and the excitement of his impending wedding watched by the world made him restless, he tells interviewer Alan Titchmarsh for an upcoming ITV1 documentary on his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
"I hadn't slept at all that night because obviously all the crowds were on The Mall," he says in Elizabeth: Queen, Wife, Mother, which airs in the U.K. June 1.

Pippa, 28, rounded out her look with a floral hat, a black clutch and black suede heels.
