Royal Wedding interview on Love Sport Radio

Prince pops Champagne Corks at the Polo

Whilst Prince Harry’s polo favourite Veuve Clicquot may play champagne’s traditional role in the wedding toasts, perhaps a few (non-champagne) English sparkling wines such as new Royal Warrant Holder Camel Valley and Kent sparkling wine Chapel Down may also feature at the various afterparties.
