The lovely Catherine Middleton will wed Prince William on April 29 2011, so be part of the celebrations. With ceremonial timings and live webcam you can experience this wonderful event.
Prince William and Kate Middleton became engaged in October 2010 in Kenya, East Africa, during a 10-day trip to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy to celebrate William's passing his RAF helicopter search and rescue course.
Clarence House announced the engagement on 16 November 2010. The couple are to marry in Westminster Abbey on 29 April 2011. It is customary for royal men to receive a dukedom when they marry; possible dukedoms for William after his marriage are Windsor, Clarence, Cambridge, Sussex, Kendal, Avondale, and Strathearn. As the wife of a royal duke and prince, Middleton would assume the title of duchess.
In Letters Patent dated 21 August 1996 (shortly before the divorce of the Prince and Princess of Wales) it was acknowledged that, "by convention", the wife of a son or grandson of the Sovereign is entitled to the style title or attribute of "Royal Highness". If William were not given a title, then after the wedding, Middleton would by convention (unless explicitly vetoed by the Queen), be known as Her Royal Highness Princess William of Wales taking her husband's first name on marriage (as with Princess Michael of Kent). If, however, William is given a title, Middleton would be known as "Her Royal Highness The Duchess [or other rank if appropriate] of N".
On 16 February 2011, Clarence House announced that Middleton's and William's first royal tour of Canada would take place in July 2011. She was formally introduced to public life on 24 February 2011, two months before the wedding, when she and William attended a lifeboat naming ceremony in Trearddur, North Wales.
