THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The Archbishop of Canterbury has asked the nation to pray for the marriage of Prince William to Kate Middleton as he said the pair would need support in coping with the 'full glare' of the public eye.
He said the couple ''knew what the cost of that might be'' and wished them ''courage and the clarity'' to live out their marriage.
With eight days to go until the royal wedding, the Archbishop, who is to marry the couple at Westminster Abbey, described them as ''deeply unpretentious people'' who were clear about what mattered about their wedding day.
In a video message filmed by Lambeth Palace, Rowan Williams said: ''William and Catherine are making this commitment very much in the public eye and they're sensible, realistic young people.
''They know what the cost of that might be. They've thought that through. And because of that they will need the support, the solidarity and the prayers of all those who are watching.''
He added: ''I want to wish William and Catherine every richest blessing in their life together. » | Thursday, April 21, 2011
