Royal Affair in Singapore / Dubai
The British Club in Singapore will certainly be flying the flag for Britain this April 29. The club has planned 10 days of celebrations to mark the marriage of Prince William to Catherine Middleton. Expats will be treated to a royal street party, a royal wedding dinner, a high tea and an Ascot-themed ladies night.
General Manager of The British Club Sean Boyle told reporters, “We are taking it very seriously. This club has always had a connection with the royal family - Princess Anne opened it in 1987, and we've had a lot of royal visitors - so it seemed a good opportunity to reflect that.
“And there’s thousands of Brits in Singapore, who are all very excited about the event.”
Dubai
Expatriates make up 85 percent of the population in Dubai, and the British account for a good portion of those, so the Emirate is planning to celebrate in true British style. No surprise that hotels, restaurants and bars across Dubai are pulling out the stops for the royal wedding, organising all manner of lavish parties, special screenings and meal deals to mark the occasion. According to the tourism board Visit Britain, many expats are opting for private themed brunches and garden or street parties. For something a little more prestigious, the British Embassy will be showing the ceremony live on the lawns of the embassy building, complete with a ‘traditional street party.’ It promises to be a jolly good affair.
Guy Warrington, consul general for the British Embassy said, “It’s going to be a memorable day for the large British community in Dubai and many others including those from the Commonwealth. We are particularly delighted to host so many of our Emirati friends. We hope all our guests will enjoy the celebrations we have in store, such as our street party, and will soak up the atmosphere on this very special day.”
