Comment

Congratulations to the world's most adored couple.
Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton met in 2001 at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Four years of study in the same place brought them closer and closer, so that by the time they graduated in 2005, they were clearly a couple. Observers had long suspected that they would marry, so the engagement came as no surprise. Many, however, were elated at the announcement of the most eagerly awaited royal wedding in recent memory.

On April 29, 2011, the Kingdom of Great Britain, indeed the whole Commonwealth and the whole world, celebrated: long live the newlyweds.

His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton became engaged in October 2010 during a trip to Kenya. The Prince brought with him the engagement ring, a sumptuous 18-carat sapphire encircled by 14 diamonds, which had belonged to his mother Diana, Princess of Wales. He made his grand proposal in a way that Catherine found "very romantic and... very personal". Automatically translated

Félicitations aux mariés les plus adulés du monde.
Le prince William et Mlle Catherine Middleton se sont connus en 2001 à l’Université de St. Andrews, en Écosse. Quatre années d’études au même endroit les ont rapprochés de plus en plus, si bien qu’à l’obtention de leurs diplômes en 2005, ils formaient clairement un couple. Les observateurs se doutaient depuis longtemps qu’ils allaient s’unir, aussi les fiançailles n’ont surpris personne. Beaucoup cependant ont été transportés de joie à l’annonce du mariage royal le plus attendu dont on se souvienne de mémoire récente.

Le 29 avril 2011, il y a fête au royaume de Grande- Bretagne, voire dans tout le Commonwealth et dans le monde entier : vive les nouveaux mariés.

Son Altesse Royale le prince William de Galles et Mlle Catherine Middleton se sont fiancés en octobre 2010 durant un voyage au Kenya. Le prince avait apporté avec lui la bague de fiançailles, un somptueux saphir de 18 carats encerclé de 14 diamants, qui avait appartenu à sa mère Diana, princesse de Galles. Il a fait sa grande demande d’une manière que Catherine a trouvée « très romantique et… très personnelle ».
