Australia donates to charity as royal wedding gift

Australia donates to charity as royal wedding gift: "SYDNEY - AUSTRALIA said on Monday it will donate A$25,000 (S$32,800) to the Royal Flying Doctor Service as a wedding gift to Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The couple, who will marry on April 29, have asked that anyone intending to send them presents instead give the money to charity.

'The gift was decided following a request from the happy couple to donate to one of their nominated charities instead of a wedding gift,' said Prime Minister Julia Gillard's office."
