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.
