Royal Visit: Kate Middleton and Prince William's Surprise Visits

As their Royal Wedding is just around the corner- Britain's most-watched couple, Prince William and Kate Middleton visited Westminster Abbey last Monday night –known as the first joint appearance by the royal couple at the chapel which was set to serve as backdrop to their nuptials.

Accordingly, the couples were advised by Prince Charles, who has "always taken a close interest in classical and church music," the source says, and they will have chosen which music will be used and which they wanted to omit. "They looked relaxed and seemed to enjoy themselves," says the source. "They are obviously very keen that everything should be right on the big day."

Prince William and Kate Middleton continued their royal road trip around the U.K.,making an unannounced goodwill stop in Northern Ireland on Tuesday, even flipping hotcakes for a local charity.

The couple, both 29, took the potential security risk of the visit in their stride as they chatted with onlookers, spoke to young children and tried their hand at tossing traditional "shrove" of last Tuesday's pancakes.

Mardi Gras Celebration

Mardi Gras

The terms "Mardi Gras", "Mardi Gras season", and "Carnival season" in English, refers to events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after Epiphany and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday". Mardi Gras falls on a Tuesday between February 3 and March 9 of every year. The festival of Mardi Gras dates back 5,000 years, but it didn’t come to America until 1699 with the French explorer, Iberville, and the first parades officially began in 1838.

In Louisiana, thousands of King Cakes are consumed during the Mardi Gras season each year, starting on the twelfth night and extending through Mardi Gras Day ("Fat Tuesday"). The original Mardi Gras King Cakes were only a simple ring of dough with little decoration. But now, the contemporary New Orleans style King Cakes are brightly decorated ringed cakes that come in many sizes and variations containing Mardi Gras Colored pieces of fruit, sugars, and various types of filling.
 

Sydney Mardi Gras was began in June 1978, in an effort to commemorate the Stonewall Riots that spurred the modern Gay Rights Movement in New York City in June of 1969. The Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras is an annual gay pride parade and festival for the LGBT community in Sydney, Australia, and is the largest such event in the world.
