Prominent Kiwi family helps effort to create world's longest card for royal wedding

May 5, 2018

Wedding fever's hitting the English town of Windsor two weeks before it plays host to the latest royal wedding.

Three Kiwi children are among more than two-thousand people attempting to break the world record for the longest wedding card in the lead-up up to Prince Harry's wedding to actress Meghan Markle.

All Blacks legend Zinzan Brooke's three daughters, Eden, Kiera and Ruby, attend Upton House School, just metres away from Windsor Castle where the wedding will take place.

And they've participated in a venture organised by local Art Studio Busy Buttons which is attempting to set a Guineas Book of records by getting two-and-a-half-thousand people to write special cards to the couple. It will then be gifted to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.”

"Have a lovely wedding. Enjoy your day. You'll be a great couple," Ruby Brooke wrote.

The cards are being stuck together to stretch more than a-kilometre-and-a-half.

"We're going to make the longest card in the world," Ruby said.

Eden reckoned the royal couple are "probably going to say it's lovely".

Like many Brits over the coming weeks, Upton House School held a royal-themed party.

Headmistress Rhian Thornton said you "can sense the excitement".

"We can see already people arriving from all over the world and the Commonwealth, and it's just been lovely to see Windsor come alive, really," she said.

The royal couple are expected to receive the record-breaking card in the next two weeks.
