Prince William Arthur Philip Louis was born on June 21, 1982 at Paddington, London and later baptized on August 4, 1982 in the Music Room of Buckingham
Palace. Prince William as he is fondly called, was a handsome boy used
to be seen in photos with his younger brother, Prince Harry, and
parents Prince of Wales Prince Charles and the late well-loved Princess of Wales, Princess Diana.
He graduated at St. Andrews University
in Scotland where he finished Geography course and later joined the
Royal Academy Sandhurst. Today, he serves as a Lieutenant in the Household Cavalry and attended trainings to become a search and rescue Pilot with the Royal Air Force.
Prince William had also much
resemblance to his mother that he continues her legacy by involving
himself with different charity works.
Catherine Elizabeth "Kate" Middleton was born on January
9, 1982 at Berkshire, south of England. Kate is the eldest among the
three children of parents, Michael and Carole Middelton. Her father was
an airline officer before the family decided to run their own business,
a mail-order company that sells children’s party paraphernalia.
Kate studied in the prestigious Marlborough College before earning a degree in History of Art in St. Andrews where she met Prince William. Former school colleagues speaks about the young lady as
intelligent, level headed, talented, and popular in school. She worked
as an accessories buyer at women’s fashion chain Jigsaw, but later
resigned in 2007 to help her parents business.
Like many other celebrity couple, the
two kept their relationship secret, but soon enough discovered by media
and the public. As a royal public figure, critics are brewing
speculations on the success of the wedding and the marriage itself as
compared to Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Will Prince William takes a different route? We can only hope the best of life together for this soon-to-be royal couple.
