    THE BRITISH ROYAL WEDDING

    A ROYAL ROMANCE, an everyday love story???


    The British Royal family 
    Part 1:
    Read pages 6-7 I love English magazine.
    1. Answer the questions in the photocopies: 9,10,11,12.
    2. Prepare a new post in your blog:
    Write a summary about the article in the magazine: Prince William and Kate
    Middleton and do the activities in the worksheet.

    1. Prince William: He British have


    always loved Prince William. His
    mother, Princess Diana, was adored
    by the public. She died in 1997. Many
    people think that William should be
    the next king of the United Kingdom,
    not his father, Prince Charles.
    William went to the best schools in
    Britain and then started to do
    humanitarian and charity work.
    Prince William met Kate Middleton at
    St. Andrew's University in Scotland.
    In their first year, William and Kate
    lived in the same building. William
    was unhappy at university and
    wanted to leave. Kate convinced him
    to stay and to change courses, from
    History of Art to Geography.
    Later, Kate and William's friendship
    became romantic. But they did not
    want to marry immediately. The
    British gave Kate the name "Wait
    Katie" because she waited for
    William to ask her to marry him. Now
    everyone is happy and agrees that
    Kate is perfect for the prince!

    2. Kate Middleton: Kate is from a


    rich family, but they are not royalty.
    Some of her ancestors were poor miners and Kate mother was an air hostess. The British think
    it is incredible that a "commoner" will marry the future king of UK. Kate's parents started
    selling party accessories on the internet. At first, they used their children as models for their
    catalogues. They soon became millionaires and were able to pay for Kate to go to the bes
    British schools.
    Kate has a reputation for being a quite, serious girl. But some of her friends say that she
    dreamed of being Princess Catherine before she met William! This might be why she chose to
    study at St Andrews University where she could meet Prince William.
    Kate said that the idea of becoming part of the royal family was "daunting", but that she would
    be able to cope with it.
    Now she has married Prince William, so she now is the Princess Catherine as she dreamed
    before

    3. The Royal wedding: William asked Kate to marry him in November 2010 when they were
    on holiday in Africa. He gave Kate a sapphire engagement ring with belonged to his mother,
    Diana, Princess of Wales.
    "The ring is special to me" says William. The British public adore Kate and want a fairytale
    princess. It's a lot of pressure and responsibility for her. William's grandmother the Queen, is
    "delighted" about the wedding.
