Prince William and his longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton have announced their engagement and plans to marry next year. The highly anticipated wedding will be the biggest royal event since Prince Charles married Diana in 1981.
In a royal statement:
“The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton. The wedding will take place in the Spring or Summer of 2011, in London. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.”
“Prince William and Miss Middleton became engaged in October during a private holiday in Kenya. Prince William has informed The Queen and other close members of his family.”
“Prince William has also sought the permission of Miss Middleton’s father. Following the marriage, the couple will live in north Wales, where Prince William will continue to serve with the Royal Air Force.”
The two have been dating for eight years, after meeting at St. Andrews University in Scotland. William proposed to Kate Middleton with his late mother Princess Diana’s engagement ring.
