The Royal Australian Mint issued in 2011 the latest commemorative coin to mark the Royal Wedding of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine Middleton. The wedding took place on 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey in London, United Kingdom.
Events were held around the Commonwealth to mark the wedding; organisations and hotels held events across Canada, over 5,000 street parties were held throughout the United Kingdom, and one million people lined the route between Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. The ceremony was viewed live by tens of millions more around the world, including 72 million live streams on YouTube. In the United Kingdom, television audiences peaked at 26.3 million viewers, with a total of 36.7 million watching part of the coverage.
