really, broken meringue, crushed strawberries. it s as simple as that. folded together. it s heaven. after the dinner, they ll have a very rock n roll party. i think that s where load more are coming in for the nighttime festivities. sharon, tell us what it means to be british when a royal wedding comes. well, being the royalist that i am, it s just fantastic. it s like when it s been so down here for so long, the economy, the wars that we re involved in. it s been so miserable. and something like this brings the nation together. everybody i love going out in the streets because all the all the little kids have got their flags and they re happy and the weather s great. and there s this hope of this fantastic young couple together. and there s great hope put in them. and i think it s great because kate is so relatable. so many young girls in this country will relate to her. and i think it s amazing that he married a commoner.
and but we did become very close friends from quite early on. we just saw more of each other and hung out a bit more and did stuff. joining me now is a woman who s the queen of her own royal family, sharon osbourne. she s a special royal wedding correspondent for the insider and one of my fellow judges on america s got talent. also with us, one of the world s greatest chefs and restauranteurs, marco pierre. welcome to both of you. two great brits, if i may say so. thank you. in the buckingham palace right now they are preparing for the mother of all parties on friday night. 1,500 people will be gorging themselves on all sorts of luxuries. i don t know that it is 1,500. i know the breakfast is going to be bigger. i thought the evening was about 300. oh, is that all? that s all it is for the dinner. for the dinner, yes. so 300 having an exclusive dinner. for the whole trip. they ve got the vip tour, the ones that go for the evening
let me bring you in first. we re less than two days away. what s happening? the countdown really is beginning now. kate middleton left the bucklebury family home where her parents live in chapel row. last time she s going to be leaving the family home as a single the bride is on the move to the palace? i suspect that was probably quite an emotional journey. she left this morning with her sister pippa. on the back seat if you look closely, you ll see on the top of her bag, so we do know where she goes shopping, what looks like an extract from the reading. which might be some sort of hint as to the vows. or if she s giving a reading. say she s clearly got all the wedding things with her. she will be heading to the goring. that s the five-star hotel that s literally on the back garden of buckingham palace. you can jump over the wall beautiful old english hotel. absolutely beautiful. the whole family will be there tomorrow night. they ll be having a dinner. i want to bring
wedding as everybody else seems to be? no. i m not really. can i say this on cnn? i think you can. i m a teeny little bit bored by it. are you? why? well, it s been going on and on and on. and i think the royal couple frankly will be glad that it s over. they can t wait for the honeymoon, frankly. and you know that feeling, don t you, piers morgan? but on the other hand, i m very proud to be here. and taking such a prominent, almost a central role. what do you think of both william, our future king, and his choice of bride? she is beautiful and i m telling you this, viewers, she s more beautiful in the flesh than she is on those photographs. and would you agree with that, piers? i agree. she s a radiant bride. she s so attractive. compared with him. because he s easy. he s lovely. he is but i m not a fan of the women, i m afraid. when charles married diana, where were you then? i was around. i was around.
it s because you re in the star system. you re a little prince in new york and they re like a little oh, thank you. and they re a little prince here. it s about being special. and it s about wearing lovely clothes. and it s about having privileges. and i think some people think in this day and age in particular that there s a limit to how much we would like to see them spending. and william and kate have been incredibly sensible about that and tried to produce a wedding which is going to be really good fun, really high glamour and relatively little cost. now, the institute for public policy research is asking for william to publicly support a change to the royal family s succession law. it is completely sexist. that it has to be the oldest boy, isn t it? it s absurd. i mean, look at queen elizabeth. she s turned out to be one of the greatest monarchs in the history of britain, and she s a woman. queen victoria. queen elizabeth i. it s the men who have coughed it up ov
