LONDON — 

          The full list of confirmed guests and the seating plan for the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton were released by the British monarchy Saturday.

          Many of the 1,900 invitees had already been mentioned in the media weeks ago, including soccer star David Beckham and his wife Victoria, musician Elton John and director Guy Ritchie. But others, like soul singer Joss Stone and Mr. Bean  actor Rowan Atkinson — a close friend of William’s father Prince Charles — were new.

Reader Note:  I should be old and experienced enough and strong enough not to find the news of Sir Edmund Blackadder's close relationship with HRH Prince Charles disturbing, but I do. It's difficult to know what to make of anything these days.
