Nice to hear they are getting married. I hope they haven`t been put under pressure like his father was!!!!.
Good Luck to them both. ;D
Congratulations to them both. It's been a long courtship so I don't think they have been under pressure.
Best of luck to both of them...
The radio keeps calling her a "normal" middle class girl.... who went to Marlborough (Probably the most expensive Independent School) ...
I personally prefer a good funeral..... :-X
My advice to them would be to just live together,look what happened to the other members of his family
from Princess Margaret onwards who got married at vast public expense, the whole lot divorced a few years later. Marriage is a poisoned chalice with that disfunctional family.
If this country had any sense it would become a Republic after the present Queen dies.
Clearly The Palace has learned lessons from Charles (who wanted Camilla in the first place but she was not suitable) in the end he was pushed into....Well we all know the history.
Let's hope that this Katherine is as fully aware and it looks like William has done as much as he can to protect her over the years from falling into the Diana Trap.
Yes I do think it couldl work out for them.
I can understand him thinking that it is a compliment to give her his mother's engagement ring but personally. I would have thrown it back at him.
A love token from a second hand union which failed? I got the impression that Kate was being too polite to mention this error.
But I am not polite..........
It was a mistake.
He should give her HIS love token......
SHE is not there to take the place of his mother......
She is going to be HIS wife. Sell the ring if necessary but give her her own romantic token.
He is not keeping Diana alive. She is gone.Never forgotten.
But anything of hers can not be just passed on..
She meant too much to so many for that.
Using that ring insults his future wife as well as all those who adored his mother and it is one step too far.
I also think it was wrong of Prince William to give Katherine his mothers ring, maybe he could have had it made into a broach if he felt the need to pass it on. It is not exactly a happy symbol of his love is it i would have been upset if i had been given a second hand jinxed ring.
I sincerely wish them the best of luck & hope they Will be very happy together. That's if that bunch of senior advisers keep there noses out.
Looking forward to a beautiful wedding next year. ;D ;D ;D
I spotted that ring straight away! :D I think it's lovely that he's given her Diana's ring. It has much sentimental value to him and it's a practice that goes on the world over - I have two friends who are wearing wedding/engagement rings which belonged to the grandparents of either the bride or groom. I think it's a wonderful thing to do and if my OH had presented me with a ring which had belonged to his mother/grandmother, I'd have been thrilled, not offended!
