Even the staid Weather Channel isn't immune from royal wedding fever.

Starting Monday, the latest forecasts and weather from London will be closely tracked. Al Roker will anchor "Wake Up With Al" from London, and The Weather Channel will take viewers on a trip to the royal couple's new home, the North Wales island of Anglesey.

The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton takes place Friday at 11 a.m. British Standard Time, which is 6 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

Described London as a 'Paki holding cell'
A Palace guard has been banned from the Royal Wedding parade for making vicious online rants about Kate Middleton after she apparently 'snubbed' him.
Scots Guardsman Cameron Reilly, 18, also said he had 'attacked a black man' while on leave in his home town of East Kilbride near Glasgow and fantasised about shooting Jews while on duty.
He called Miss Middleton, who is due to marry Prince William at Westminster Abbey on Friday, a 'stuck-up cow', adding: 'Who really gives a f*** about her?'

Your phone, yourself: When is tracking too much?

Your phone, yourself: When is tracking too much?

If you’re worried about privacy, you can turn off the function on your smartphone that tracks where you go. But that means giving up the services that probably made you want a smartphone in the first place. After all, how smart is an iPhone or an Android if you can’t use it to map your car trip or scan reviews of nearby restaurants?
The debate over digital privacy flamed higher this week with news that Apple’s popular iPhones and iPads store users’ GPS coordinates for a year or more. Phones that run Google’s Android software also store users’ location data. And not only is the data stored — allowing anyone who can get their hands on the device to piece together a chillingly accurate profile of where you’ve been — but it’s also transmitted back to the companies to use for their own research.

Royal wedding: No place for Tony Blair and Gordon Brown

Royal wedding: No place for Tony Blair and Gordon Brown

The royal wedding has suffered its first major controversy after it was confirmed that neither Tony Blair nor Gordon Brown had been invited to Friday’s ceremony.

The former Labour prime ministers will not join the 1,900-strong royal wedding congregation at Westminster Abbey despite it being a “semi-state” occasion that they had been widely expected to attend.
By contrast, both their Conservative predecessors, Sir John Major and Baroness Thatcher, received invitations. Lady Thatcher declined on health grounds although Sir John will be present when Prince William marries Kate Middleton.
