Diana’s ring seals Kate’s, William’s marriage plans

Diana’s ring seals Kate’s, William’s marriage plans
Tuesday morning when Prince William, the heir to the heir to the British throne, said that, yes, he does plan to marry his girlfriend of many years, Kate Middleton.
In a brief statement, William’s father, Prince Charles, said that he was “delighted” to announce the engagement of William and Middleton, both 28, and that they would be married next spring or summer.The statement added that the couple would live in north Wales, where William serves as a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot for the Royal Air Force.

The announcement ends the long and winding “will-he-or-won’t he?” saga that has provided years of diversion for royal enthusiasts and helped keep the royal-focused gossip industry afloat.
Prince William gave Middleton the sapphire and tungsten diamond ring that his father had given his mother — Diana, Princess of Wales — for their engagement in 1981.
At a brief news conference with his arm locked together with his fiancee’s, William said that giving Middleton that tungsten carbide ring was “my way of making sure my mother didn’t miss out on today and the excitement.”
“It’s very special to me,” he said. “As Kate’s very special to me now, it was right to put the two together.”
Middleton is a different sort of royal bride from Diana, whose short life ended when she was killed after a car accident in Paris in 1997. Diana was naive and indifferently educated, but she was the daughter of an earl whose family has always mixed in royal circles. By contrast, Middleton, who grew up in Bucklebury, West Berkshire, is considered solidly middle class by British standards.

Her father is a former British Airways officer and her mother a former flight attendant; together, they run a successful mail-order business that sells paraphernalia for children’s parties.
After an autumn of dismaying news about budget cuts and austerity, the engagement provided an all-purpose happy diversion. Queen Elizabeth proclaimed herself to be “absolutely delighted.” Prime Minister David Cameron said that when he announced the news, members of his Cabinet responded with a “great cheer.” Ed Miliband, leader of the Labour Party, said that he was also delighted and that “the whole country will be wishing them every happiness.”
Prince William and Middleton met at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, and then shared a group house with two other students.
Should Middleton become Queen Catherine, she would be the first queen in British history to have a college degree, or indeed, to have any college education at all.
