 Kate Middleton Commemorative Porcelain Bride Doll“The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton,” the statement from Clarence House early Tuesday read. Prince William, 28, asked Middleton, also 28, to marry him while the two were on vacation in Kenya last month, the statement said.

Prince William gave a Blue Engagement Ring from his mother Diana to Kate and it sure is beautiful and very expensive as royally should be. When asked about the engagement details, Kate said: “He’s a true romantic and we had a wonderful holiday in Africa and it was out there in a very quiet lodge and it was very romantic and it was very personal time for both of us,”

She said said the proposal came as a surprise, despite years of public speculation that the couple would wed.

“We were out there with friends, so I really didn’t expect it at all,” Middleton said. “It was a total shock when it came. Very excited!”

Prince William and Kate met about ten years ago while students at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. The relationship garnered some controversy because Middleton does not come from royalty and royals are generally expected to wed other royals. I am glad that Prince William decide to marry for love and not for royalty.

When a reporter asked why it took so long to propose, a beaming William quipped, “I also didn’t realize it was a race, otherwise I probably would’ve been a lot quicker.” They sure seem to be love and make a cute couple together.

Prince William said these to media: “Well as you may recognize now, it’s my mother’s engagement ring and it’s very special to me, as Kate is very special to me now as well. It was only right the two were put together,” William said. “It was my way of making sure mother didn’t miss out on today and the excitement and the fact that we’re going to spend the rest of our lives together.”

“It’s beautiful,” Middleton said, as she showed the ring to ITV’s camera.
