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

princess. It's a lot of pressure and responsibility for her. William's grandmother the Queen, is

"delighted" about the wedding.
