Programming note: Sky News adds William & Kate: A Royal Wedding about Prince William and Kate Middleton's engagement tonight.


With the breaking news of the announcement of the royal engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton (both of them 28) Sky News (DStv 402) has just added what the British 24 hour news channel calls William & Kate: A Royal Wedding TV special tonight.

Sky News' William & Kate: A Royal Wedding with Anna Botting will be shown at 21:00 South African time, tonight, Tuesday, November 16, and the news channel says that the TV special will be dedicated to all the news surrounding the royal engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton and will broadcast ''the very first interview with the royal couple'' apparently taking place at Clarence House. ''We will also be live around the country with the latest on the announcement, and all the reaction that is coming in.''

Prince William and Kate Middleton will do their very first press conference - one of the very first times that people will hear Kate Middleton speak publicly - and Sky News will carry this press conference live from 21:00 tonight.

Meanwhile CNN International (DStv 401) has also murmured something on-the-air about carrying ''their first interview'' in regards to Prince William and Kate Middleton later today. I have asked immediately and when I get an answer, you'll know as soon as I know.
