Kate Middleton will spend her last night as a single woman in the royal suite of London’s Goring Hotel, it has been reported.
According to the Sun, the bride-to-be booked the luxury five-room suite for the night of April 28, the day before she marries Prince William.
Hotel bosses are said to have spent more than £150,000 renovating the top-floor apartment ahead of her stay.
Photographs published in the newspaper show the suite boasts a four-poster bed, an original “Venerable” toilet by 19th century plumber Thomas Crapper, and a humorous painting of television character Edmund Blackadder kissing the hand of Queen Elizabeth I.
It is also said to feature a grand piano, a waterproof television in one of the two bathrooms, and a wardrobe displaying an antique wedding dress – believed to be a prototype of the gown worn by Queen Victoria.
Ms Middleton will reportedly stay at the hotel with her mother Carole and sister Pippa, her maid of honour.
The Goring Hotel is in Belgravia, close to Buckingham Palace, and was opened in 1910 by OR Goring, the great-grandfather of current owner Jeremy Goring.
