LONDON, England – Prince William and girlfriend Kate Middleton are engaged to be married, royal officials said Tuesday.
They are due to marry next spring or summer in London.
Prince Charles’ Clarence House office said the heir to the throne is “delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton.”
The palace said they got engaged last month during a vacation in Kenya.
The couple are both 28 years old and met more than eight years ago while students at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
“I think everyone is absolutely thrilled and we all wish them all the love and luck in the world,” Sophie, Countess of Wessex, said.
The wedding is expected to be the largest one since Prince William’s parents marriage 30 years ago. The BBC reported William gave Kate the sapphire ring that belonged to his mother.
