Royal Family Watch Party

Thirty years ago we watched the wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. There was the horse-drawn carriage, the ornate cathedral, and the dress with the huge train! It was a real life Cinderella wedding.

On April 2011, the world watched the princess story of a new generation when Prince William takes Kate Middleton to be his bride. Sadly, none of us made the royal guest list, but we had fun watching it on TV (and having a party of course)! In 2018 Harry married Megan and now there is a baby on the way!

We're lucky that there are so many wonderful Royal events on TV these days. Celebrate the Royals with a ROYALLY FUN theme party!

royal family watch Party Menu

Use gold paper goods on your table that look so regal. Flowers make a great centerpiece.

Your menu should certainly be inspired by British food. If you are having a breakfast/brunch here is a fun menu -

Stuffed French Toast
Tea Scones (here is a Basic British Scones Recipe)
Full Breakfast or "Fry-Up" of fried bacon, sausage, potatoes, corned beef hash, mushrooms, tomatoes
Eggs in a Basket
English Muffins
Fruit and Cheese Tray
Mimosas - perfect drink. Just mix a sparkling white wine with orange juice

If the party is later in the day have fish and chips. Or try individual size pot pies or Cornish pastries. How about a carving station with roast beef and roast lamb. Be sure to offer an assortment of tea (and biscuits) with dessert. You can have an elaborate "tea bar" with an assortment of teas along with honey, sugar and flavored creams. Or serve a fun dessert:

Eton Mess (Serves 5 to 6)

Eton mess is an English dessert which is traditionally served at Eton College's (Prince William's alma mater) annual cricket game against Winchester College.

1 pound strawberries, hulled and quartered
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
3 cups meringue cookies broken into bits

Combine strawberries and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Crush berries using a potato masher. Whisk together cream and confectioners sugar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold in cookies and berries (with juices) until almost combined but ribbons of juice remain. Serve immediately.
