Royal wedding: Five traditions of royal nuptials

A royal residence?

William and Kate will not immediately move into an apartment in the royal residence, as is the norm after a royal wedding. Instead, they will return to their home in Wales near William's Royal Air Force base, the Daily Mail reports. Also unusual is the fact that William and Kate lived together long before their marriage, something that wouldn't have happened until recently.

When William's service is up, the couple is expected to move to a house that Prince Charles had specially built in Herefordshire, although there will be an apartment available for them in the royal residence.
