Wedding of Prince William of Wales and Catherine Elizabeth Middleton
DateSpring or summer 2011
LocationLondon, United Kingdom

The wedding of Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton is expected to take place in 2011.[1] Prince William of Wales is the eldest son of Charles, Prince of Wales.

Announcement

The Prince and his long-time girlfriend, Kate Middleton, became engaged in October 2010 while on a private holiday in Kenya. Middleton was given the engagement ring that originally belonged to Diana, Princess of Wales[1]—an 18 carat white gold ring with large oval sapphire and 14 round diamonds.[2]

On 16 November 2010, Clarence House, the office of the Prince of Wales, announced that Prince William would marry Middleton "in the spring or summer of 2011, in London".[1][3] The Prince of Wales, on a visit to Poundbury, Dorchester, said he is "obviously thrilled". The confirmation of the announcement explained that Queen Elizabeth II was happy for the couple.

Following the announcement the couple gave their first interview to ITV News' Political Editor Tom Bradby.[4]

Planning

The venue has not yet been announced. On the issue of whether the wedding would be marked in the United Kingdom by an extra bank holiday, a Downing Street spokesperson stated on the day after the announcement that "Those sorts of discussions are yet to be had". An extra bank holiday was held for the wedding of Charles and Diana on 29 July 1981, and will also be held for the 2012 Queen's Diamond Jubilee.[5]

After the wedding, Middleton will become Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine of Wales, unless she is given a title in her own right.[6]
