Royal Breakfast Sleepover at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver
The world will be watching April 29, 2011 as Prince William takes Kate Middleton as his bride in the “Royal Wedding of [this] Century”. From souvenir stickers, tea cups, and postcards to virtual guest books, the excitement that was felt around the globe as Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer in 1981 has been rekindled.
Being a dutiful member of the British Commonwealth, most Canadians are excited to witness these regal nuptials and locally, the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver has taken charge of celebrating in style – even if festivities do kick off at 3:00am Pacific Time.
On the morning of April 29th, the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver will be airing full wedding coverage and Breakfast Television will be broadcasting live from the “Royal Breakfast” event from 5:30am until 9:00am.
900 West Lounge will be serving up a three-tiered breakfast platters (complete with the hotel’s famous scones) for $29 per person, including coffee or tea. Please note that breakfast reservations are required and can be made by calling (604) 662-1900. The Royal Breakfast is a part of Fairmont Hotels’ “Royal Month” campaign throughout April.

Oh wow this seems like so much fun! I’d love to win and watch the wedding at 3am with tea and crumpets! Do I have to wear a ‘fascinator’?? Hehehe
I would love to celebrate the Royal wedding in Royal Style at the stunning Fairmont Hotel Vancouver!
Princess Diana
princess diana by far 🙂
I like Harry! Love those mischievous redheads!
William has always been my favourite! Can’t wait to watch the wedding. I feel old.
Even though she is no longer with us, the Queen Mother was always my favorite. She was a strong woman who not only was the perfect consort to her husband, but became the symbol of the Royal family even after her husband passed away at such an early age.
This is an incredible contest. I would love to experience watching the Royal Wedding at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. Princess Diana was my favourite royal.
Awesome! My favorite is Queen Elizabeth!
Without a doubt, Princess Diana.
This sounds like so much fun!
Prince William and Prince Harry are tied for favourites. I was going to marry William and my best friend was going to marry Harry. She still has time I suppose 😀
I will go back in history a bit: Lady Jane Grey, the 9 days queen.
How could anyone forget Princess Diana? With her humanitarian efforts and reserved and stately manner it’s no wonder Prince Charles decided to marry outside royal blood! Princess Diana without hesitation!
I love prince Harry 🙂
I’ve always loved Princess Di! She had a huge heart, great style and raised 2 wonderful boys. Lovely Contest – will you join me for tea Miss604?
the late Princess Diana =)
The Countess of Wessex! For all of her charity work and outreach for children with disabilities.
@Lindsay – I’ll be there in the morning too, maybe not right at 3am 😉
I have always loved Princess Di! She had a big heart, great style and raised 2 wonderful boys. Lovely Contest Miss 604 – will you join me for tea?
My favorite royal is the Queen – as a mother, I can relate to her exasperation with her children! My daughter is desperate to watch the royal wedding, this would be an amazing treat for her!
This is so exciting hope I winn I loved princess diana too
I have to admit that I love the spunkiness of Sarah Ferguson. She was definately the bain of the queen for sure and still is. lol
I *love* this contest! My favourite is Wills…which is why I’d like to be at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver to see this little piece of romance and history.
My favorite Royal will always be Princess Diana – style, grace, compassion and courage. A woman to be inspired by ~

Harry! he’s a cutie 🙂
How fun would this be? I’m a Princess Di girl. Unless I’m watching The Tudors in which case Henry looks pretty dreamy
Awesome prize! I’m a big fan of Prince William 🙂
I grew up in a house that had a Charles and Di commemorative plate, and “The Diana Look: The Princess Diana’s Fashion book” among other things – so I’m going with the lovely Princess Diana.
princess diana for me
Princess Diana!! She was lovely and beautiful.

Prince William has been my favourite since I first laid eyes on him in my teeny-bopper magazines. 🙂

How romantic is that?
Princess Diana
Prince Andrew. He was the William of his generation.
Diana! 🙂
My vote goes to Fergie.
Princess Diana 🙂
I watched the wedding of Diana and Charles when I was a teenager, with my Aunt. It would be fun to take my teenage daughter to the Fairmont and watch The Royal Wedding of William and Kate with her. Diana is my favorite Royal.
My wife and I stayed here before we had kids. It’s time to return.
She’s no longer around, but I really liked the Queen Mum.
Great to see Commonwealth ties being respected & celebrated at Fairmont Hotel in this fashion. Prince William is my favourite royal for standing a true gentleman & mounting his claim for heir over his father.
princess diana was one of the kindest royals in the world. she had lots of elegance. because of that, she is still my favorite royal.
Diana! She’s a classic.
What a great contest! Favourite royal by far is Princess Diana.

It will be so great to win! And I will be there at 3am, no question about that!

With “Royal” I assume it’s only from England, so I would say my fave is Queen Elizabeth 1 (for Queen) or Alfred the Great (for King). If it doesnt have to be British Royal, then my favorite is probably King David.
It’s got to be William!
Princess Diana is still my favourite
Has to be Harry!
Lady Di!
Crown 😉 and Queen, of course.
Princess Diana!!!!
Queen Elizabeth – she’s definitely got the longevity award!
Princess Di was the greatest. Thanks
Princess Diana – I idolized her as a child and teenager.
ok! let’s shake things up a bit – how about ‘Bertie’ (George VI aka Albert Frederick Arthur George).
Queen Elizabeth II
Lady Diana!
Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon!!! Queen Elizabeth’s mother

princess diana
The rebel in my votes for Sarah Dutchess of York!
My favourite royal is HRH Queen Elizabeth II.
Favourite royal – let’s go with The Queen herself. Pretty impressive schedule at her age.
Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex for being heir to the throne in some way or another to 17 countries (including the UK). That’s pretty darn Royal.
Princess Diana. hands down.
I just finished reading a novel called “Amenable Women” in which Anna of Cleves featured prominently. She was German and briefly married to Henry VIII. I choose her for my favourite royal. I’ll be watching the wedding no matter where I am, but I would love to be at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver! Thanks for the chance.
The Queen Mom!
In British royalty, I love Beatrice Windsor! She seems very down to earth like the young royals are these days. Internationally I love Queen Rania of Jordan!
my favourite Royal is now Harry, and was Princess Di- great contest!
My favourite royal is Boadicea, the Warrior Queen.
The Queen for sure. Long term goal: attend the Queen’s Garden Party.
Princess Diana
Just like most people, I would say Lady Di. She is truly missed. But I’m loving Kate thus far 🙂
My favourite living royal is Prince Harry! Otherwise George V by far.
Queen Elizabeth gets my vote
Lady Di – Full of grace and elegance.
Hot prince Harry! Seems like he has a sense of humour.
It was Diana, but William is a very close second!
Diana, but William is a very close second!
What fun. Lady Jane Gray is my favourite (loved that movie)!
My favorite royal is the late Queen Mother, she always reminded me of my Nana 🙂
Prince Harry. He’s such a rascal. Lol
*Queen Elizabeth*
Queen E II is by far the best. The hats take it!
My fav is the queen herself.
WILLS FOR SURE, HAS BEEN SINCE I WAS A TEEN. HEHE
Princess Diana, without a doubt!
princess di. I remember waking up to the news and crying like a little baby.
“Queen Elizabeth”
I like the Queen the best. What an amazing life of service.
My daughter the history buff says Lady Jane Grey is her favourite royal.
Princess Diana, my dad cried when he found out she passed away
Queen Elizabeth
Queen Elizabeth, indeed! Long live the Queen!
Princess Diana, from my childhood… will always remember her.
Princess Diana
Princess Diana, definitely.
I like Prince Charles- despite the controversy surrounding his divorce from Diana and subsequent remarriage, his charity work is admirable. I think he has also raised two wonderful sons and he seems quite down to earth.
FairmontVan rocks heard good times there lol
would love to win, thanks, great site, great giveaways, you rock!
I would love to watch the Royal wedding at the Fairmont Vancouver and enjoy tea and crumpets for breakfast. My favourite royal would have to be The Queen.

Queen Elizabeth
Queen Victoria 🙂
prince william ! can’t wait for the wedding
Princess Diana, hands down….she will be watching I am sure
Princess Diana

Princess Diana.
Prince William by far! I saw him at the Pan Pacific when I was 16 and gave him flowers…those 16-year-old crushes die hard. Though ginger Harry is certainly looking nice these days. 😉
My favorite royal is Queen Elizabeth II. She has grace and has seen the British Empire through almost as much as her namesake, the first Queen Elizabeth.
I’m in! Has to be Diana.
Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco!
Totally had a crush on Prince William when i was young!! 🙂
Queen Elizabeth, of course.
has to be Queen Elizabeth II herself – amazing woman
I love William and always have… Though after watching The King’s Speech, I have a lot of respect for King George VI.
has to be Queen Elizabeth II herself – amazing woman
Kate Middleton..not yet a royal but she will be wonderful!
Queen Elizabeth is my favourite, but Kate is my second NEW favourite! I’ve posted on Twitter as well, hope I win! Thanks! 🙂
Sarah Ferguson – Dunchess of York.
Our dog growing up shared her birthday & this was her namesake – Fergie for short!
My favourite is HARRY. From now, he can do whatever he wants, take advantage of the royal glitter and all and nobody will care because the whole world will be staring at William’s wedding for teh next decade!!! (I know about the low level of English here… Sorry!)
I shook Queen Elizabeth’s hand on her visit at UBC. What a gracious lady! But Lady Di was by far the coolest.
would love to be there!
