In Mexico city, at a British Embassy, 19 year old Estibalis Chavez was denied from British immigration officials in attending Prince Williams wedding. Estibalis, who says her mother adored Princess Diana and Williams, wanted to see the festivities in London. Immigration officials stated that she had no safe place to stay for her three week trip. However, despite the hunger strike she endured for 16 days, custom officials were firm in their decision. A Mexican lobbyist named Fitch donated $1,250 or (15,000) to the girl.
