St. James Palace releases the confirmed wedding list and seating plan for the royal nuptials on April 29.

The list that the world's been waiting for has finally been made public. Prince William and Kate Middleton's full list of confirmed wedding guests, as well as a seating plan, were released on Saturday by the British monarchy. Included are those who had been previously rumoured to attend, like David and Victoria Beckham and Elton John. Others, like singer Joss Stone and actor Rowan Atkinson, are new. About 40 foreign royals will be in attendance as well, including for the first time Bahrain’s Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, despite British concerns about the treatment of activists there. The seating plan reveals that only a select few will witness the wedding at Westminster Abbey. Not surprisingly, Queen Elizabeth II and other Royal Family members will sit in the front row across the aisle from the Middleton family, who will be joined by the couple's friends and the family of Princess Diana Spencer, William's late mother.
