BUCHAREST: A Romanian film production company says a film on the love story between Prince William and Kate Middleton will be shot in Romania.
MediaPro Studios say the TV film based on the royal love story will be produced by the Motion Picture Corp. of America for the Hallmark television channel.
Linda Yellen will direct "William & Kate: A Royal Love Story." She directed CBS's "The Royal Romance of Charles and Diana" in 1982.
Actor Dan Amboyer, who made his debut in the "Law & Order" series will play Prince William, while British actress Alice St. Clair will portray Middleton. Oscar-nominated Jane Alexander will play Queen Elizabeth II.
Shooting starts this month and the world premiere is expected in August. (AP)
Reese Witherspoon has revealed that she had fun watching the royal wedding.
The actress explained that she had married Hollywood agent Jim Toth just two weeks before Prince William and Kate Middleton tied the knot.
She told the BBC: "I just got married. About two weeks before Kate Middleton!"
Asked if it was a happy day, she replied: "It was, but I didn't have 16 million people watching! I only had, like, 100."
The 35-year-old has been travelling the world with her Water for Elephants co-star Robert Pattinson promoting their new movie, and recalled that they were in Paris on April 29 for the royal wedding.
She also confessed that she went to a great deal of effort to celebrate the future monarch's wedding.
She added: "I really did. I was actually in Paris when the royal wedding happened. It was fun to watch and everyone was excited in Paris, too."
Royal newlyweds Prince William and Kate Middleton will reportedly go on their honeymoon in the next couple months.
It was recently revealed that the pair would be postponing their honeymoon to allow William to return to work this week.
According to Us Weekly, the couple will wait until later this summer for their trip.
"They will be going on an overseas honeymoon before Canada," an insider said.
It was announced in February that the pair's first official excursion would be to Canada. The trip is scheduled from June 30 to July 8, meaning that the honeymoon could take place either in May or June.
The newlyweds spent the weekend at an undisclosed location in the UK.
"This small break is just for them to catch their breath, and catch up with work, before embarking on a trip," said the insider.
Katy Perry has shown off her new royal wedding-themed nails on Twitter.
The 'E.T.' singer took to the social networking site after yesterday's ceremony and treated fans to a glimpse of her latest handiwork, which involved pasting pictures of newlyweds William and Kate, several lone images of the Prince and a baby photo featuring his late mother Princess Diana onto her nails.
The 26-year-old also joined the wealth of celebrities congratulating the couple by including a caption saying: "In honour of the Royal Wedding, I present you... My royal NAILS! CONGRATS!"
Perry, who previously threatened to crash the royal wedding, earlier retweeted a message from one of her followers, simply saying: "RT if u always wanted to be a princess (sic)."
Perry attached images of husband Russell Brand to her nails last September in celebration of their first anniversary.
George Michael has lamented the absence of his royal wedding track from yesterday's coverage of Prince William and Kate Middleton's nuptials.
The 47-year-old recently unveiled a special cover of Stevie Wonder's 'You And I', recorded in celebration of the couple's big day, but found that his effort had mostly been snubbed by broadcasters the world over.
Turning to Twitter, the 'Fastlove' singer wrote: "'You and I' seems to be getting more radio than I thought it would. which is great.
"Had hoped to hear a few seconds amongst the incredible BBC coverage, but alas, it was not to be... Apparently they used it on TV in Norway, lol !"
However, Michael refused to be demoralised by the song's lack of airtime, later adding: "Don't feel sad for me twitterville, apparently the two people that really mattered loved it, which truly was the point... And you lot seem to love it, so all in all, mission accomplished my lovelies.
"No tears [over the record], but found the service surprisingly touching... as for BBC and ITV, I'm used to it :) Always recieve (sic) more support abroad. It's a shame but let's be honest, after almost 30yrs I count myself lucky to get any support anywhere!!"
Michael had earlier referenced the "tragic" undertones of the ceremony by paying tribute to the late Alexander McQueen, whose fashion house designed Middleton's dress, and William's mother Princess Diana.
He wrote: "The one tragic thing about the day... That Alexander McQueen never got to create a masterpiece for Kate... I loved the dress. But it's a shame he's no longer with us.
"Of course Diana's absence is the greatest tragedy, but it really goes without saying..."
Prince William and Kate Middleton left Buckingham Palace this morning by helicopter, but will stay in the UK.
The couple were thought to be embarking on their honeymoon, but a statement has been released to confirm that they have decided to stay in the UK and holiday at a later date.
It says: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen not to depart for a honeymoon immediately. Instead, after spending the weekend privately in the United Kingdom, The Duke will return to work as a Search and Rescue pilot next week.
"The locations of both their private weekend before The Duke returns to work and their future honeymoon, which will be overseas, will not be disclosed in advance. The couple have asked that their privacy be respected during the coming weekend and during their honeymoon."
Various spots have been tipped to be their honeymoon location, such as Kenya - where William proposed to Kate last year - and the Great Barrier Reef of Australia.
The couple left the Palace this morning after enjoying their evening wedding reception there last night. It apparently went on until around 3am this morning and included a performance from Ellie Goulding.
Prince William has been advised to marry Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif, according to the results of an online poll.
The survey, conducted by Indian dating website Shaadi.com, suggested that the former north London resident would make the ideal Indian match for Prince William.
Gourav Rakshit, business head of the matrimonial site, told NDTV: "With the hype of the royal wedding around the globe, Shaadi.com conducted the survey to reflect the enthused spirit about the wedding in India."
The results put the currently-single model-turned-actress significantly ahead of other Indian cinema celebrities.
"Out of the 8000 surveyed, 75.3 per cent of respondents believed that Katrina would be the best Indian celebrity match for Prince William, followed by Priyanka Chopra with 16.7 per cent and Sonakshi Sinha with 8 per cent," added a source.
26-year-old Kaif has been voted the sexiest Asian woman in the world by Eastern Eye for the last three consecutive years.
Bollywood choreographer Sandip Soparrkar has said that his planned dance performance at the royal wedding has been scrapped due to a knee injury.
The Indian dancer, who had earlier gone on record to say that he would be performing at the reception, has now been accused of inventing the whole episode.
Soparrkar told The Times of India: "I was invited in January by James Kidner, assistant private secretary to HRH The Prince of Wales.
"It was a private ceremony, so I wasn't allowed to give out any details. I was also going to have a small bash in Mumbai before leaving for London, where actress Kangna Ranaut was to unveil the royal invitation that I had received."
Brushing aside reports that palace officials claim not to know anything about the Bollywood dance, Soparrkar stated: "Why would I waste my money on all this, if I were to call it off at the last minute? Am I not worried about my reputation?"
The performer earlier claimed to have dated Britney Spears, and given advice to Madonna about adopting an Indian baby.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have made the short drive from Buckingham Palace to Clarence House in an open-topped car.
As his colleagues from the Royal Air Force flew overhead in a helicopter, the prince drove his new bride past the crowds in his father's Aston Martin. There was no police protection officer in the car with them, although a second official vehicle followed close behind.
The car was decorated with heart-shaped balloons and an 'L' plate on the bonnet. They were waved off from the forecourt of the palace by Prince William's uncle Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.
The couple married at Westminster Abbey this morning and appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with members of their families for a kiss earlier this afternoon. Following a lunchtime reception at the palace, the couple will host a private dinner for 300 of their closest friends and family at Clarence House later this evening.
LONDON: Joyous crowds cheered and gaped in awe as beaming newly-weds Prince William and Kate Middleton rode through London in a fairytale horse-drawn carriage and kissed on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
Hundreds of thousands of royal fans from all walks of life and from across the planet descended on London on Friday to witness the most talked about British wedding in years.
Some wore Union Jack dresses and old-fashioned wigs to celebrate the day, others partied feverishly with painted faces and fluttering flags. Many were just happy to witness all the rare pomp and circumstance of a full-blown royal event.
"We wanted to feel the atmosphere -- how the British get excited," said Zhang Ying, a Chinese university student, who declared Middleton was "born to be a queen".
William, in full military regalia, and his new bride, in show-stopping ivory-coloured silk and satin dress, had clearly wowed the hoards of people lining the streets from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace.
"The monarchy is like our Hollywood, the movies, for us," said 48-year-old Californian Diane Weltz who had treated her daughter Samantha to a trip to London for her 21st birthday.
Many well-wishers had spent the night sleeping in the streets around the abbey to make sure they got a prime spot to see William and Middleton emerge as a married couple.
"I managed to catch a few hours' sleep in a doorway, but I don't mind, today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I had to be here," said Canadian Jay Edmonds.
Draped in a Union Jack flag, with tufts of white hair poking out from under a Union Jack hat, 77-year-old Terry Hut had spent five days establishing his position at the front of the barriers for his fifth royal wedding appearance.
In London's Hyde Park, giant screens beamed footage of the day to a crowd of all ages, creeds and backgrounds.
"It should have been me," shouted nurse Jo Newman, 27,dressed as a bride and clutching a bouquet of plastic roses.
Across Britain, communities were enjoying street parties and a welcome day off to celebrate the most talked about British wedding in decades. Hardcore fans along the streets of Westminster had been getting in the mood since dawn.
William, second-in-line to the throne, and Kate have already said thanks for the outpouring of affection this week, but the pair looked genuinely overcome by the atmosphere as they waved and smiled to fans.
"The pictures on the mugs don't do the couple justice," said 34-year-old Madeleine Senior who flew in from Australia for the big day.
While most of the revellers were happy to flood the couple with good wishes, a few republicans gathered to protest. "My message to the royal couple is good luck and enjoy your married life, but please don't take for granted that one day you will be king or queen," said Graham Smith of the anti-monarchist lobby group Republic.

LONDON: Prince William, second-in-line to the British throne, and his long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton were declared married on Friday at a service in London's Westminster Abbey.
William, 28, and Middleton, 29, exchanged vows before nearly 2,000 guests in the abbey and a television and internet audience of millions.

Kate Middleton's much-anticipated wedding dress has been revealed.

Middleton reportedly worked closely with Burton on the lace applique design and requested that the dress combined tradition and modernity. The lace was hand-engineered by the Royal School of Needlework.
She wore a veil of silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers and a Cartier tiara, personally lent to her by the Queen. She also wore diamond-set oak leaf earrings made by Pimlico jewellers Robinson Pelham especially to echo her headpiece.
The earrings were commissioned by Middleton's parents Michael and Carole as a wedding present.
Some ITV commentators compared Middleton to Princess Grace of Monaco as she walked down the aisle on her father Michael's arm followed by her sister Pippa, four bridesmaids and two page boys.
It can't have escaped your notice that there's something of an event going on at Westminster Abbey tomorrow. You've looked at our FAQ, but you may still have a few questions lingering. How many coppers will be keeping the royal couple safe? How many wedding cakes are there? Here's a quick round-up of all the fast facts and figures about the big day to help clear things up!
An estimated two billion viewers will be watching the wedding on TVs around the world.
The families are paying around 70 million quid for the shindig themselves but the Great British public are still forking out an estimated 20 million pounds for the security costs.
That pays for around 5,000 police officers, who will be helped by 35 dogs who are specially-trained to sniff for bombs. In a bid to make their job easier, the authorities have banned 60 convicted criminals from the area around Westminster Abbey as part of their bail terms.
1,900 guests have been invited to the ceremony, but only 600 will make it to lunch at the Palace. That gets whittled down to 300 for dinner and dancing.
That number is dwarfed by the 8,000 TV and radio journalists who are covering the event (with 50 popping over from CNN alone). That's not to mention all the print journos making the trip!
There will be 187 horses on parade during the day. There'll be nine grey horses as part of the escort for the royal procession and five horse-drawn carriages.
Don't bother heading to John Lewis for the wedding list - the royal couple have instead chosen 26 charities to which guests and well-wishers can donate.
There are four bridesmaids for Kate - Eliza Lopes, Grace van Cutsem, The Hon. Margarita Armstrong-Jones and The Lady Louise Windsor. It's five if you include her Maid of Honour - younger sister Philippa Middleton
With all the talk of The Dress - Kate Middleton will actually sport three outfits. That wedding dress, plus a couple of other get-ups for the other parts of the day.
Two wedding cakes will be prepared. A traditional fruit cake with white icing and cream from Fiona Cairns is the official one. At Prince William's request, the reception will also boast a chocolate biscuit cake from McVitie's, made with 1,700 rich tea biscuits.
There'll be just one wedding ring though. Apparently Prince William - like his grandad Philip - won't be given a wedding band at the ceremony.
Morrissey has insisted that England does not need the royal family.
In an interview with Radio 4, the Smiths singer confessed that he will not be watching the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton as he considers the event to be a joke.
"Why would I watch the wedding? I couldn't take any of that seriously," he explained. "I don't think the so-called royal family speak for England now, and I don't think England needs them.
"I do seriously believe that they are benefit scroungers, nothing else. I don't believe they serve any purpose whatsoever. I'm not an anarchist, but I believe that people don't want the royal family - the so-called royal family. They're not royal to me, but they're royal to the media for some reason."
The official programme for Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding has been made available to download.
Included in the programme is the full Order of Service which will be followed by the 1,900 guests at the ceremony in Westminster Abbey tomorrow morning. The front and back of the booklet are adorned with William and Middleton's respective family Coat of Arms.
Among the details about the prayers, music and hymns which will be heard, it has been confirmed that the bride-to-be's brother James Middleton will read The Lesson.
A personal message from the couple on page two of the 28-page document reads: "We are both so delighted that you are able to join using celebrating what we hope will be one of the happiest days of our lives.
"The affection shown to us by so many people during our engagement has been incredibly moving, and has touched us both deeply."
They added: "We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone most sincerely for their kindness."
It also reveals that Middleton will vow to "love, comfort, honour and keep" Prince William, while omitting 'obey'.
The official programme is available to download from the royal wedding website and 150,000 copies, priced £2 ($3.33) each, will be on sale across London.
Prince William and Kate Middleton will marry at Westminster Abbey tomorrow morning.
Royal wedding fever continues to grip the globe as the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton fast approaches.
Two days before the world focuses its attentions on Westminster Abbey, 20 lookalikes from around Europe arrived in London for a competition organised by easyJet.
After impressing a panel of judges in various challenges, including the perfect romantic proposal and waving like a royal, Simon Watkinson and Orsola Rossi eventually saw off their rivals to scoop a year's worth of free flights from the company. The 'couple' will now remain in London to watch the real lovebirds tie the knot.
Londoner Watkinson, 29, said: "I've often been told that I look like Prince William, particularly since the royal engagement was announced, but I can't believe that I've been crowned the winner. I'm so excited to have won a year's worth of free easyJet flights and to be in London for the big day."
Rossi, also 29, from Milan, added: "To be voted the best double to one of the most famous women in the world is very exciting. This really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and there isn't a better place to be to enjoy the celebrations."

Daniel Radcliffe has said that he wishes Prince William and Kate Middleton all the best, but admits that he hasn't been caught up in royal wedding fever yet.
The Harry Potter star was asked for his thoughts on the impending nuptials on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
"You know, it seems to be a much bigger deal over here than it is at home, from what I'm gathering," he said.
"From the friends I have spoken to, the thing they are most excited about is it means we get a four-day weekend at home! That's the kind of thing that's driving most people."
He added: "I wish them all the happiness in the world but I'm not going as feverish as everyone else seems to [be]."
As for whether he has ever met a member of the royal family, he said: "I've met Fergie. Does that count? I'm not being callous! It's genuinely ignorance. She's still a duchess, right? Yes? So I have [met royalty]."
The royal wedding is scheduled to take place at Westminster Abbey in London on Friday.
Radcliffe was on the NBC show to promote his Broadway production How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, which is currently playing at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. He can also be seen in the final instalment in the Harry Potter franchise, Deathly Hallows Part 2, which opens at cinemas on July 15.
Kerry Katona has joked that she would be asked to leave Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal wedding if she were to attend.
The reality TV star was not invited to the ceremony on Friday and said that she would have been kicked out if she was.
She told Now: "I'd love an invite to the wedding. But I'd probably get kicked out for trying to do the can-can in the middle of the dancefloor."
The 30-year-old, who is dating property developer Dan Foden, has her own reality TV show, Kerry Katona: The Next Chapter, on ITV2 but said that she wouldn't like to be in the public eye as much as Katie Price.
She added: "I wouldn't like to be in Kate's shoes. I feel pressure being Kerry Katona and I'm a nobody."
Katona is reportedly planning a musical comeback by featuring on a track with Basshunter.
London: The official guest list for the British royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton was issued on Saturday, and it contained a mix of family and friends, as well as members of European royal families, and a few big name celebrities.
One obvious omission was Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Prince Andrew, who has been largely frozen out of the royal family following a series of gaffes and misdemeanours.
The list is dominated by William and Kate's friends and family, together with European royals, leaders of British Commonwealth countries, and members of "the great and good."
Also on the list are people from the charities with which the royal couple are associated.
"Largely it's a traditional establishment wedding," commented AP royal consultant Jennie Bond.
Elton John and David Beckham, accompanied by their respective partners, top a very small list of celebrities.
Elton John was close to William's late mother Diana. And Beckham worked with William on England's failed bid to stage the 2018 World Cup.
Although William's aunt Sarah Ferguson has been omitted, her daughters Beatrice and Eugenie - as fifth and sixth in line to the throne - will be there.
Foreign leaders, including US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, were not invited, but royal officials have explained that the decision shouldn't be seen as a snub.
Aides say the wedding isn't technically a state occasion, as William is second in line rather than heir to the throne - so there's no protocol requiring key world leaders to be invited.
William has found space for all 27 members of his unit at the air base in Anglesey, Wales, where he works as a helicopter pilot.
One of his workmates is Sergeant Keith Best, who's accompanied the Prince on a number of search-and-rescue missions.
"It was a massive surprise when that nice golden envelope dropped through the letterbox," said Best. Altogether some 1,900 people have been invited to the wedding ceremony in Westminster Abbey.
Less than a week away from the sure-to-be spectacular occasion, the official guest list from Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal wedding has been released.
As was expected, numerous celebrities adorn the rundown of lucky invitees, as musician Sir Elton John, soccer star David Beckham, director Guy Ritchie and singer Joss Stone will all be in attendance for the nuptials.
With a long list of royals, dignitaries and Prince Williams' colleagues from RAF Valley also set to attend, the ceremony being held at Westminster Abbey will take place on Friday, April 29th.
