As the UK royal wedding of Prince William

As the UK royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton approaches, an exhibition celebrating the life of William mother Diana is drawing in the crowds from across the US Midwest.

The BBC Laura Trevelyan met designer Pamella Roland DeVos, who helped take the exhibition to Grand Rapids, to find out what lies behind America fascination with the monarchy.
