Continuing a long tradition of providing unrivalled coverage of royal weddings through the decades, this special edition of The Weekly will be a collector's item not to be missed.

Featuring more than 50 pages of photos and reports direct from London plus all the behind-the-scenes stories from William and Catherine's big day, the commemorative issue will be on sale around the nation at all the usual outlets.

The Weekly team has been working tirelessly to get the best possible royal wedding souvenir issue out as quickly as possible, and while we are running ahead of schedule, the quick turnaround could still bring some delays.

The royal wedding commemorative issue will be available in the Eastern states on Wednesday but there may be delays in South Australia and Western Australia with deliveries expected to arrive between Wednesday and Friday May 6 at the latest.

For our loyal subscribers, magazines will be in the post on Wednesday, causing a slightly late arrival, but rest assured there has been no compromise in quality and the best possible royal wedding coverage will arrive in your mailbox as soon as possible.

To complete your collection and to ensure you have a Royal Wedding memento worthy of a king, a sumptuous, 116-page Australian Women's Weekly commemorative royal wedding book goes on sale on May 20.
