After months, if not years, of speculation that Prince William and Kate Middleton were about to get married, the pair have finally announced their engagement.
William and Kate got engaged six weeks ago but put off the announcement until now to allow the royal protocols of such events to be put in place. They also didn’t want to overshadow Remembrance Sunday.
The couple, who will probably be King and Queen and England one day, met eight years ago while both studying at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. They started dating a few years later.
The royal wedding will take place in the spring or summer of 2011, and I suspect millions of people will watch it, either in person or on TV. Let’s just hope this marriage lasts longer than most royal ones have of late.
