Varied: Prince William and Kate Middleton have chosen an eclectic guest list for their weddingIf the names on Prince Charles's list have raised eyebrows, those personally invited by William and Kate to the Abbey service and wedding breakfast are almost as intriguing.
While the Prince of Wales embraced the worlds of high finance and international politics when sending invitations, the 250 guests jointly chosen by the Royal couple, together with the 100 guests invited by Kate's parents, include a football club chairman, a famous comedian, a yoga teacher – and all of William's ex-girlfriends, along with two of Kate's rumoured former flames.
Their choices include...
