All at London Homesays are absolutely thrilled at the news Prince William is to marry long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton next year, following the announcement from Clarence House.

Prince William who second in line to the throne, will marry in London in spring or summer 2011!

“We are both very, very happy,” the prince said. He had proposed on holiday in Kenya in October, giving his fiancée his mother’s engagement ring.

The couple, both 28, met at St Andrews University which is in Scotland.

William said using Diana’s ring was “my way of making sure my mother didn’t miss out on today and the excitement”.

The royal engagement was announced in a brief statement released by Clarence House.

It said: “The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton. “The wedding will take place in the spring or summer of 2011, in London.

The exact venue will be announced at a latter date. Needless to say all at London Homestays are extremely excited about the news and will be attending wherever it is in London.

People in London are actively thinking about where they will place their picnic tables and chair once they have a date. These are occasions that people do delight in, in this country.

The Queen said she was “absolutely delighted” for both Prince William and Kate Middleton.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said the engagement marked “a great day for our country” and wished the couple a long and happy life together.

From all at London Homestays we would like to wish them the best of luck for the future and are very much looking forward to their wedding in London in 2011.
