2. Prepare a new post in your blog:
Write a summary about the article in the magazine: Prince William and Kate
Middleton and do the activities in the worksheet.
1. Prince William: He British havealways 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
Britain 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 convincedhim 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 immediately. The
British gave Kate the name "Wait
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 arich family, but they are not royalty. Some of her ancestors were poor miners and Kate 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 idea 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
3. The Royal wedding: William asked Kate to marry him in November 2010 when they were
on holiday in Africa. He gave Kate a sapphire engagement ring with belonged to his mother,Diana, Princess of Wales.
"The ring is special to me" says William. The British public adore Kate and want a fairytale

"delighted" about the wedding.
