Getting a chance to meet the royals combination of location and luck

OTTAWA - After three days of watching the royal couple come and go from public appearances throughout Ottawa, this much is clear: for those hoping to have a moment with the would-be monarchs, it's all about location, location, location.

Mary Aubrey now knows the ropes. She's been at almost every one of Prince William and Kate's public events in the nation's capital since they arrived in Canada on Thursday.

Aubrey, 21, was one of the first through the gates of Rideau Hall for their formal welcome.

She raced to the top of a hill to be as close as possible to the official podium. Except, she was too close — the couple didn't do a walkabout that far up.

So on Canada Day, she tried a different tact — sheer force.

She arrived on Parliament Hill at 7:15 a.m. and lined up against the security tape. When the crowd starting surging forward, she pushed along with them, ending up right at the front of the barricade.

"(Kate) walked right up to me. It was a fantastic moment," she said as she waited for the couple's final public stop in Ottawa on Saturday.

"I couldn't be any prouder."

She advises fans in other cities to be tenacious, and to get there early.

Smaller events, like many the couple will take part in over the next week are likely better places to try meeting the royal pair than the massive spectacles of the last few days.

British media who make a career following the couple suggest one of the obvious ways to position for a chance meeting is to be within sight of a main entrance. That's where the motorcade will arrive and leave. They are more likely to do a walkabout among their fans on the way out of an event than they are on the way in.

The duo, known formally as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, appear to enjoy what minutes they have to mingle.

At a veterans' reception in Ottawa on Saturday, they were only supposed to stop and chat with the first three tables. They instead worked the entire room.

Those lucky enough to be part of official events acknowledge their good fortune.

Cpl. Andrew Knisley was one of the soldiers specifically picked to meet the couple. The veteran of the Afghan war is an amputee and part of a team involved in the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers through sport.

He said it was significant to him that while others in the room had a few seconds with the royals, he had several minutes.

"The royal couple, as I'm finding out, are very nice that way," said Knisley.

I’m getting married in november next year and was wondering waht kinds of wedding flowers are in season around that time in Australia. I love Frangipani’s and Lilys, and I like roses and orchids too but include any that are in bloom around this time that would look good as a wedding flower. Thanks for your help!

i got married in december and i used gerbra’s they are bright and colourful and i did it differently, instead of me starting with a bouquet, i had each child hand me a flower and that formed my bouquet it was sweet and special and different, if i didn’t do it that way i would have chose something different, look through wedding books, different flowers can look different, and try ebay, my cousin got her frangipani bouquets off there and you wouldn’t even have known they were fake

back to actually answering your question, ask a florist or even google whats in, also your budget will come into factor, roses your safe and frangipani’s maybe, spose it depends on how warm the weather stays now
