You might think you know everything about Kate Middleton and Prince William's 2011 royal wedding, but aside from the public pomp and pageantry, it turns out there was a private late-night celebration. Princess Kate's brother, James Middleton, shared some inside details from the party in his new memoir, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life—and its theme was very different from the historic ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
In the book, James wrote of the "bustling" but "calm" atmosphere at the Goring Hotel, where he stayed with his family (including the royal bride) during the wedding festivities on April 29, 2011. While taking his dog, Ella, out to the property's "garden to potter around," he came across a rather surprising find.
