Prince William and Kate Middleton are hoping to marry in April.
The couple have reportedly put forward a possible date
of April 28 for their nuptials and are waiting for it to be cleared by
Downing Street and the royal family.
An announcement is now expected at the beginning of next week.
However insiders have said the Liberal Democratic Party might force the
date to be scrapped amid fears a ceremony at the end of April would
infringe on coverage of the voting system referendum three days later
on May 1.
Royal aides have revealed the couple who have been dating for almost eight years are both desperate to get the wedding underway.
One royal insider told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "Kate and
William both view this process rather like tooth extraction. They want
to get back to a life of relative normality as soon as possible to 'get
it over with and get back to our quiet life', which is sweet but
unrealistic."
Another source added: "They know what they want."
The wedding is expected to be on a weekday, which will allow Prime
Minister David Cameron to give the country a bank holiday and allow
everyone to join in the national celebration.
