FED:Gillard tight lipped about wedding frock

MELBOURNE, April 29 AAP - Prime Minister Julia Gillard will be wearing an Australian
designer to the royal wedding, but that is all she is saying before the big day.

Ms Gillard has arrived in London where she has already met with British Prime Minister
David Cameron and Prince Charles.

She said while Prince Charles told her he was looking forward to the wedding of his
eldest son, he was also concerned to know how Australians were faring after recent disasters.

"He did want to talk to me about the Queensland floods and the cyclone, he was very
generous at the time and very concerned," Ms Gillard said on the Nine Network.

When asked about her outfit for the big day, Ms Gillard gave little away.

"Australian fashion definitely. But, apart from that you will have to wait and see," she said.

She denied any nerves about choosing her outfit for the event.

"I think all eyes are on Kate, I am not worried for myself," she said.

Ms Gillard and her partner Tim will attend the royal wedding along with 1,900 invited
guests on Friday.

"I'm really looking forward to being there tomorrow. I'm conscious I'm there representing
Australians who are sharing the sense of delight. So I will be there sharing the sense
of delight too," she said.
