How did Prince William pop the question?

    The prince got down on one knee during an October vacation trip to Kenya with Middleton. The royal heir — a qualified pilot — reportedly flew his future bride in a borrowed helicopter to a remote, “secluded lake on the slopes of Mount Kenya” to ask for her hand.

    Is wedding year 2011 significant?

    Perhaps, say pundits. William’s mother, Princess Diana, would have been 50 next year, and it will be the 30th anniversary of her wedding to Prince Charles, notes royal biographer Katie Nicholl. Others suggest the couple scheduled the wedding in 2011 to avoid an overlap with London’s 2012 Olympics and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the 60th anniversary of the monarch’s accession to the throne, another big 2012 event.

    What will Middleton wear?

    Kate’s wedding gown will likely be “something traditional, but with a modern twist,” fashion director Peta Hunt said. Potential designers have been mentioned, including Phillipa Lepley, Bruce Oldfield, Oscar de la Renta, and Vera Wang.

    What will Middleton’s official title be after the wedding?

    Middleton will be known as Princess Catherine, though her official title is still unknown. (SD-Agencies)
