Heir to the British throne, Prince William, almost 10 years familiar with Kate Middleton. At least twice the journalists intended to send this pair under the crown. The first time the press "betrothed" William and Kate in 2006. It was then that the prince introduced his girl to a famous family - father Charles and grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Without waiting for official confirmation from Buckingham Palace, in the supermarkets of England there were cups, plates and even mats for computer mice with portraits of a young romantic couple. The second time the news about the engagement of the future monarch arose in April last year. It was then that William told a few friends about his desire to marry Kate and asked for her hand from Mr. Middleton.
Finally, all the rumors were dispelled on November 16, when in Buckingham Palace in the presence of hundreds of journalists from all over the world the couple announced their desire to marry. The future bride and groom smiled and did not hide their happiness. On Kate's ring finger there was a luxurious ring of white gold, adorned with a 18 carat sapphire framed with small diamonds. Nearly 30 years ago, in the same office, the future princess Diana photographed and video camera in front of the lenses, showing the ring to the whole world. Her choice of jewelry Diana commented as follows: "I did not want the biggest, but self-fashioned." Naturally, there was talk that such a gift could be called upon by the lover of his beloved, to which William stated: "What my mother did was wonderful, but now it's about another person and another fate. Kate's all good. My mother is not with us, and she can not share our joy, and so I want to bring her closer to what is happening now. "A true gentleman
From early childhood, William began to prepare for the upcoming coronation. The innate intelligence and charm that he inherited from his mother, the world-loving lady of Lady Dee, helped to win people's love. And the influence of a strict but just grandmother made him a worthy heir to the British crown.
When William was still very young, the inhabitants of Buckingham Palace made a kind of contract with journalists, according to which no one should interfere in the life of the prince until the age of majority. But as soon as William turned 18 years old, the press, thirsting for sensations, to his disappointment did not discover a single compromising act. Nevertheless, tabloids every now and then proclaimed to be married to Kylie Minogue, then Britney Spears, then Maria Sharapova. And it's not even surprising, if you remember that William was credited with a romance by Claudia Schiffer, who is over 12 years old, is married and has a mother of three.
With British student Jack Craig William met in Kenya in 1998. He stopped in the reserve, which is controlled by the father of the girls. Since then, William began to visit Kenya as often as possible, where during his father's vacation father lived Jack.
Patient Kate
Kate, with her crystal clear biography as if born to become a princess. In her track record there are no loud novels and scandalous fights, broken love stories of hearts and public scenes. But even before Middletown became the bride of the Prince of Wales, her name was known to the general public.
The matter is that Kate's parents repeatedly became the heroes of articles and stories, where they shared with all their success stories. Family Middleton does not belong to the British nobility: the father of Michael's family originates from the middle class, and the mother of Elizabeth from coal miners.Staying to survive in an economic crisis, in 1987 they founded the company of the mail order trade for parties and parties Party Pieces, which successfully developed in the British market and made them millionaires. Despite the prestigious school and friends from high society and, until recently vremeniKeyt without problems using public transport, going for novyminaryadami the nearest shopping center. Even the elegant blue dress, which the future bride chose for an official photo shoot in honor of her new status, in retail costs 399 pounds.
Before meeting her prince in the first year of university, the girl met for some time with Rupert Finch, a gifted player in a cricket. But as a real man after parting with Kate, he never spoke about it to journalists. And Kate does not hurry to stir up the past, enjoying his current relationship.
In general, she very carefully protects her private life from outside eyes. When in 2009, the paparazzi withdrew her with her parents playing tennis, the girl filed a lawsuit and won the case. A significant moral compensation was not required, only 5000 pounds, but the main condition was the public apology of the journalists. Although there was nothing provocative on the photo, it was an excellent opportunity to make yourself known as a very serious young lady. The British unanimously supported her position, even the queen herself approved of this act. The supra-economic family rarely appears in public and tries without extreme necessity not to advertise their personal life. Any publications in the press are discomforting.
