'Royal Wedding' dance video goes viral!

(CNN) ...In an online video now making the rounds, T-Mobile imagines the pending nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton through the lens of viral video royalty.
In it, royal family look-alikes boogie down the aisle to boy band East 17's "House of Love."
Charles and Camilla do the bump, a moderately amused-looking Queen Elizabeth claps conservatively and Prince Harry looks amped up, grooving with a gaggle of bridesmaids before his big brother and bride-to-be appear.
"One's life is for sharing," reads text at the end of the video before the T-Mobile logo appears.
The ad, which was uploaded Friday to YouTube, had racked up about 4.6 million views by Monday morning.
The video was filmed at St. Bartholomew the Great Church in London (which U.S. movie buffs may recognize from 1994's "Four Weddings and a Funeral.")....
A T-Mobile spokesman told London's Daily Mail that the video is "a congratulatory message to William and Kate, as well as a way of capturing the nation's celebratory mood."
