My favorite photo of William and Kate Canada visit

Published by Ellen on July 9, 2011

I’m a fan of Prince William and his wife,Kate Middleton , who is now Duchess of Cambridge.

I follow closely coverage of them. In their recent trip to Canada my favorite image was the one taken during their visit to Yellowknife, the capital and largest city of Canada’s remote Northwest Territories, last July 5.

It was reported that one of the activities the young newlyweds attended was a game of shinny or street hockey. Prince William participated in the game, report said, and it was observed that “his technique was excellent.”

Kate, on the other hand, declined because she was not wearing appropriate shoes. Here’s a cute photo with a cute caption:Here’s a close up of those high heels that prevented Kate from playing “shinny.” Maybe she should have borrowed the slippers.

With Diana’s ring, William and Kate are engaged

LONDON — Britain’s Prince William will marry his longtime girlfriend, Kate Middleton, next spring or summer in London, the royal family announced Tuesday. A spokesman for Prince Charles said Prince William gave Kate Middleton the engagement ring that belonged to his late mother, Princess Diana.

The ring is an oval sapphire surrounded by diamonds.

The engagement announcement ends years of rumored splits, reconciliations and will-they, won’t-they speculation. It will be the biggest royal wedding since Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer almost 30 years ago.

Prince Charles’ Clarence House office said the heir to the British throne was “delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton.” It said the couple got engaged last month during a vacation in Kenya.
The statement also said that William had informed his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and also sought the permission of Middleton’s father.

Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip “are absolutely delighted for them both,” Buckingham Palace said. According to the U.K. newspaper the Sun, soon after the announcement of the engagement, a tweet appeared on the monarchy’s recently launched Twitter feed reading: “The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are absolutely delighted at the news of Prince William and Catherine Middleton’s engagement.”

A tweet from Prince Charles said: “The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton.”
