PRINCE William and Kate Middleton are weighing up whether to ask wedding guests to donate to charity rather than buy them gifts.
The young couple are busy finalising details for their big day on Friday April 29 and are considering the potential benefit to the range of good causes they champion.
The pair announced their engagement in November nine years after meeting at St Andrews University.
Last night a Royal spokesman confirmed the Prince, a search and rescue helicopter pilot, and Miss Middleton, a former fashion chain worker, were discussing whether to urge guests to donate to charity.
The Clarence House spokesman said: “It is something they are considering but no decision has been made yet.” It is thought the couple will still happily receive presents from close friends and family.
