Queen Elizabeth Delighted By William's Engagement


Queen Elizabeth gave her grandson Prince William her blessing on his engagement to long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton with a kiss.

Queen Elizabeth gave Prince William's engagement her blessing with a kiss.

The British monarch's grandson - who announced his engagement to long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton on Tuesday (16.11.10) - made a special trip to see his grandmother at her Scottish residence, Balmoral Castle, to speak to her about his intention to marry.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "It was emotional. The queen was absolutely delighted for William and for Kate, who she is very fond of.

"Their talk ended with an affectionate kiss on the cheek between the queen and Wills."

Meanwhile, speculation has mounted that William and his fiancee are hoping to hold their wedding at Westminster Abbey in London - where the queen married Prince Philip and the funeral of William's mother, Princess Diana, was held in 1997 - after Kate was spotted emerging from a private tour yesterday (17.11.10).

The future princess waited until the historic landmark had closed for the day so she could soak up the atmosphere.

However a source at St James' palace said the pair have not made a final decision on the wedding venue.

The insider said: "Kate and William want more time to consider the options with their family members."

Although they have received the queen's blessing on their engagement, Kate and William have yet to announce a date for their ceremony.

However, close pal Tom Bradby said yesterday (17.11.10): "I think they want to have it in March."

Catherine Elizabeth "Kate" Middleton (born 9 January 1982) is the fiancée of Prince William of Wales. Since their relationship began, Middleton has received widespread media attention and there has been constant speculation that they would eventually marry. On 16 November 2010, the office of the Prince of Wales, at Clarence House, announced to the media that Middleton and Prince William intend to marry in 2011.

Middleton grew up in Berkshire and after attending Marlborough College, went to the University of St Andrews. She met Prince William, also studying there, in 2001. They soon started a relationship, media attention quickly followed, and in 2005 her lawyer complained of harassment. In April 2007, the press reported that William and Middleton had split up. They continued to be friends, and later in 2007 they reunited. Since then, Middleton has attended many high-profile royal events. She has been admired for her fashion sense and has been placed on numerous "best dressed" lists.

Early life

Middleton was born in Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, the first of three children of Carole Elizabeth (née Goldsmith; born 31 January 1955) – an air hostess – and Michael Francis Middleton (born 23 June 1949), a flight dispatcher for British Airways. Michael and Carole had married on 21 June 1980 at the parish church in Dorney, Buckinghamshire.[1] Middleton is of English descent with distant Scottish and French ancestry.[1] Middleton's paternal family came from Leeds, West Yorkshire, and her great-grandmother Olivia was a member of the Lupton family, who were active for generations in Leeds in commercial and municipal work.[2] Carole Middleton's maternal family, the Harrisons, were working class labourers and miners from County Durham.[3] Middleton has two siblings, Philippa "Pippa" Charlotte[4] and James William.[5] Pippa Middleton, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, has received press coverage since her sister became famous, with focus on her relationships and lifestyle.[6]

In 1987, the Middletons founded their own company, Party Pieces, a mail order firm that sells party supplies and decorations.[7] They have since become millionaires.[2]

She was raised in Bucklebury, Berkshire,[8] and attended St. Andrew's School in Pangbourne, followed by Marlborough College.[9] She attended the University of St Andrews, where she met Prince William, and graduated with a 2:1 (Hons) in history of art.[10]
Relationship with Prince William

Middleton's unsubstantiated status as the girlfriend of Prince William brought her widespread media coverage in the UK and abroad, and she was often photographed on her daily outings. On 17 October 2005, she complained through her lawyer about harassment from the media, stating that she had done nothing significant to warrant such publicity.[11]

In February 2006, it was announced that Middleton would receive her own 24-hour security detail supplied by the Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Department. This fueled further speculation that she and Prince William would soon be engaged, since she would not, otherwise, be entitled to this service. No engagement occurred, and Middleton was not granted an allowance to fund this security. However, media attention greatly increased around the time of Middleton's 25th birthday in January 2007, prompting warnings from both Prince Charles and Prince William and from Middleton's lawyers, who threatened legal action. As a result, two newspaper groups, News International, which publishes The Times and The Sun, and the Guardian Media Group, publishers of The Guardian, decided to refrain from publishing paparazzi photographs of her.[12]

Middleton attended at least one event as an official royal guest, Prince William's Passing Out Parade at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst on 15 December 2006.[13]
Breakup and reconciliation

On 14 April 2007 The Sun newspaper broke a "world exclusive" suggesting that Prince William and Kate Middleton had split up.[14] Other media outlets such as the BBC confirmed the story as the day progressed. The couple decided to break up during a holiday in the Swiss resort of Zermatt.[15][16]

Clarence House made only one comment about the relationship's end, according to The Times, stating, "We don't comment on Prince William's private life."[17] Newspapers speculated about the reasons for the split, although these reports relied on anonymous sources. The original report in The Sun quoted a "close friend of the couple" as saying that Middleton felt William had not been paying her enough attention. The paper highlighted reports that William had been spending time with other young women, and said the Prince, aged 24 at the time of the split, felt he was too young to marry.[18]

A report in the Daily Mail blamed a desire by royal courtiers not to "hurry along" a marriage announcement, and William's desire to enjoy his bachelor status within his Army career. The Mail also suggested that William's friend Guy Pelly encouraged the Prince to take a "careless approach" to relationships. The same article suggested that Middleton had "expected too much" in wanting William to demonstrate his commitment to her.[19]

In June 2007, Middleton and Prince William insisted they were "just good friends" following reports of a reconciliation.[20] Middleton and her family attended the Concert for Diana at Wembley Stadium; however, she and William sat two rows apart.[21] The couple were subsequently seen together in public on a number of occasions, and several news sources, including the BBC and the Daily Mail, stated that they had "rekindled their relationship."[22] Middleton also joined William and Charles on a deerstalking expedition at Balmoral[23] and attended the wedding of William's cousin, Peter Phillips, even though William, due to a prior commitment, did not. In April 2008, Middleton accompanied Prince William when he was awarded his RAF wings at the Royal Air Force College Cranwell.[24] On 16 June 2008, Middleton attended William's investiture into the Order of the Garter along with the Royal Family.
Engagement
Main article: Wedding of Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton

On 16 November 2010, Clarence House announced that the two are to marry in 2011.[25] The couple became engaged in October 2010 in Kenya, East Africa, during a 10-day trip to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy to celebrate William's passing his RAF helicopter search and rescue course.[26][27] The wedding is scheduled for spring or summer of 2011.[28][29] It is customary for royal men to receive a dukedom when they marry – the suggested dukedoms are the Dukedom of Clarence, Dukedom of Cambridge, Dukedom of Connaught or Dukedom of Sussex; Kendal, Avondale, and Strathearn have all also been mooted. As the wife of a royal duke and prince, Middleton would assume the courtesy title of duchess as well as the style of Her Royal Highness.[30]

If William is not given a dukedom or some lower title in his own right, she would be known as Her Royal Highness Princess William of Wales, the female equivalent to her future husband's title. Should William become heir and subsequently become Prince of Wales, Kate will revert to the female equivalent of the title. Finally, should William succeed his father as monarch in the future, it is assumed Kate will, upon the accession of her husband, legally become queen.
2006–present

In November 2006 Middleton accepted a position as an assistant accessories buyer with clothing chain Jigsaw.[31]

In September 2007 it was reported that Middleton was planning to give up her job as an accessories buyer to become a professional photographer. Some months later, it was announced that she intended to take private classes with internationally renowned photographer Mario Testino, who had taken several well-known photographs of Diana, Princess of Wales, and her sons. Middleton and Testino apparently were introduced by Prince William. Testino later denied that Middleton was going to be working for him or had ever worked for him.[32] In December 2007, it was also reported that Middleton had moved in with Prince William at Clarence House, the residence of the Prince of Wales in London.[33] Clarence House later denied this.[34]

On 17 May 2008, Middleton attended the wedding of Prince William's cousin Peter Phillips to Autumn Kelly, which the prince missed attending.[35] On 19 July 2008, Middleton attended the wedding of Lady Rose Windsor and George Gilman. Prince William was away on military operations.

On 28 February 2010, The Times reported that Middleton was pursuing an invasion of privacy suit against photographer Niraj Tanna who took pictures of her over Christmas,[36] although they were never published in Britain. Middleton has not pursued the claim against the photographer as of September 2010.

Middleton has been featured in numerous best-dressed lists, and was selected by The Daily Telegraph as the "Most Promising Newcomer" in its 2006 list of style winners and losers.[37] Tatler placed her at #8 on its yearly listing of the top ten style icons in 2007.[38] She was also featured in People Magazine's 2007 and 2010 best-dressed list.[39] Middleton was named as one of Richard Blackwell's ten "Fabulous Fashion Independents" of 2007.[40] In June 2008 Style.com selected Middleton as its monthly beauty icon.[41] In July 2008 Middleton was included in Vanity Fair's international best-dressed list.[42]

E sad šta je u jednoj svadbi bitno političko pitanje?

1. Princ Vilijam je zbog dugovečnosti svioje babe kraljice Elizabete II i poznih godina svog oca princa Čarlsa koji ima preko 60 godina verovatni prestolonaslednik.

2. Dinastija Vindzora je među najbogatijim i politički najmoćnijim vladarima sveta, ali pad opšte moći Britanije je ozbiljno uzdrmao vodeću poziciju i istakao dinastije Holandije i Saudiske Arabije.

3. Prvi put u lozu Vindzora ušla bi ćerka građana koji nemaju plemićko poreklo. Setimo se da je stric kraljice Elizabete Edvard morao da abdicira od prestola u korist brata Džordža VI navodno zbog braka sa građankom Volis Simpson. Zlobnici bi rekli zbog petljanja sa nemačkim nacistima.

4. Izabranica i možda buduća kraljica majka je Jevrejka po majci čime bi i deca kralja postala Jevreji. Vrlo zanimljivo imajući u vidu probleme koje je dvor pravio pokojnoj princezi Dajani zbog namere da se uda za muslimana Dodija al Fajeda. Zapanjujuće je da se za tako kratko vreme od stava kako prestolonaslednik ne bi smeo da ima braću i sestre muslimane dvor stiže do stava kako je sasvim uredu da deca princa prestolonaslednika drugog u liniji nasledstva krune i potencijalni prestolonaslednici i poglavari Britanske Protestantske Crkve budu Jevreji.
