1. Prince William: The British have always loved Prince William. his mother, Princess Diana, was adored by the public. She died in 1997. Many people think that William should be the next king of the United Kingdom, not his father, Prince Charles.
William went to the best schools in Britian and then started to do humanitarian and charity work. Prince William met Kate Middleton at St. Andrew's University in Scotland. In their first year, William and Kate lived in the same building. William was unhappy at university and wanted to leave. kate convinced him to stay and to change courses, from History of Art to Geography.
Later, Kate and William's friendship became romantic. But they did not want to marry imediately. The British gave kate the name "Waity Katie" because she waited for William to ask her to marry him. Now everyone is happy and agrees that kate is perfect for the prince!


2. Kate Middleton: Kate is from a rich family, but they are not royality. Some of her ancestors were poor miners and ker mother was an air hostess. The British think it is incredible that a "commoner" will marry the future king of UK. Kate's parents started selling party accessories on the internet. At first, they used their children as models for their catalogues. They soon became millionaires and were able to pay for Kate to go to the bes British schools.
Kate has a reputation for being a quite, serious girl. But some of her friends say that she dreamed of being Princess Catherine before she met William! This might be why she chose to study at St Andrews University where she could meet Prince William.
Kate said that the indea of becoming part of the royal family was "daunting", but that she would be able to cope with it.
Now she has married Prince William, so she now is the Princess Catherine as she dreamed before
