Prince William to Wed Kate Middleton in 2011

The wave
Prince William is getting married! Not the first in line for the throne, he is next after his father, Prince Charles, and the UK has long waited to see if his long-term relationship with his college girl friend would result in wedding bells.

Well, the news is out and Britain is rejoicing! It's been 30 years since they've had a really royal wedding (The marriage of Prince Charles to Camilla really doesn't count, at least not in the eyes of the British public).

Kate Middleton and Prince William are married
And America is rejoicing as well! We love a good wedding too and there is nothing quite like the pomp of a royal one. After all, we don't have royalty in our country, but everyone loves a princess! This is the stuff of fairy tales!

So, Kate Middleton, a wealthy commoner, will become Princess Kate sometime next spring or summer. Prince William proposed and Kate accepted while on vacation in Kenya last month. Kate is proudly wearing the late Princess Diana's engagement ring, an oval blue sapphire, surrounded by diamonds. William told reporters that he felt that his mother was part of the day because he gave Kate her ring.

The bride and groom
It appears that Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip are delighted with the news, while when questioned by the press about being queen herself, Kate admitted that it was a "daunting prospect". The first child born of this union will move ahead of Prince Harry for possession of the British throne.

It is expected that Kate Middleton's long brown hair and confident poise will make her a global favorite. She has already become one of the most photographed women in Britain, and the camera absolutely loves her. Prince William and she are both 28, quite a bit older than Diana was when she married Prince Charles at age 20. Kate is also not quite as demure or unsure of herself as Diana was and is already touted for her charm and easiness with the tabloids and the press.

Husband and wife
Since 2004, when appearing in a photo together while on a Swiss skiing holiday, Prince William and Kate Middleton have been a "couple", with only a short time when they had reportedly broken up. It has been speculated that the press played a part in that and that his military absences were hard on the romance, but they weren't apart long and the six year relationship speaks volumes.
Congratulations Prince William and Kate!
