(A PHOTO) Love story Prince William Welsh (Prince William) and Kate Middleton (Kate Middleton), which resulted in the most anticipated wedding of the decade, can inspire more than one girl who dreams of a real prince.
It turned out that in our time, even princes can marry for love, and find a life partner royalty nevertheless it is possible.
On November 16, 2010, the British Royal Court officially announced their engagement and upcoming wedding Prince William and his girlfriend Kate Middleton on April 29, 2011.
Prince William Arthur Philip Louis was born on June 21, 1982 at St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London. The firstborn of Prince Charles and Princess Diana weighed 3.2 kilograms at birth.
Catherine Elizabeth Middleton was born on January 9, 1982 in Reading, Berkshire, England. The Middletons did not belong to British nobility: Kate's father comes from a middle class background, and her mother comes from a family of coal miners.
Her mother was a flight attendant and her father was an air traffic controller. When the girl was five years old, they founded a company selling supplies for children's and adults' holidays and parties.
Thanks to this business, Kate's parents became millionaires and were able to send their children to prestigious private schools.
In 2001, Kate Middleton entered the University of St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland, just at the time when 19-year-old Prince William went to study art history at the same university.
The guy was listed under the name William of Wales, but this did not help him to remain incognito.
William enjoyed spending time with his fellow students and once, already in 2002, the prince decided to attend a charity fashion show, in which Kate Middleton took part.
After some time, William, Kate Middleton and their fellow students Olivia Blisdale and Fergus Boyd began to rent an apartment together on one of the main streets of the university campus of St. Andrews in Scotland.
As soon as the public learned that the prince was living with the very girl he noticed at the fashion show, rumors appeared that there was “something” between them. However, the prince stubbornly rejected these, as he put it, gossip.
In 2004, Kate Middleton and the prince himself were increasingly noticed on vacation together. There were so many photographs in which the couple was captured together that no one doubted that Kate and William were lovers.
In April 2004, they went skiing to Switzerland together and finally admitted that they were really together, RIA Novosti reports.
After some time, British journalists have already begun to speculate about the date of the marriage, and in December 2006, even Queen Elizabeth herself invited Kate to the royal Christmas dinner.
And while Kate politely declined the invitation, citing the fact that she would spend Christmas with her family, the queen's gesture meant that the royal family was ready to accept a new member.
In March 2006, Kate appeared in the royal box at Cheltenham Racecourse.
In 2007 (then the prince was 25 years old), William warned Kate that he was not going to marry before 30.
However, he did not keep his word and three years later he made a marriage proposal to the girl, as it turned out later, in October 2010 on vacation in Kenya.
In February 2011, Prince William and Kate Middleton went public together for the first time since the announcement of their engagement. They traveled to Anglesey on the Welsh coast to help launch several lifeboats.
This event was selected for the first joint official appearance The couple is no coincidence: William's part is located nearby, where he serves as a rescue helicopter pilot.
Kate Middleton chose a tiny hat from Philip Tracy and an elegant sand-colored coat to appear as the official bride of the prince.
The launch of the boats took place in compliance with all maritime traditions. To the approving applause of the groom, Kate doused the boat with champagne.
We all, of course, wish the royal couple for long years life together and many, many children, but after a stormy rest of the prince on ski resort We can't stop worrying about Kate. What happens if the couple does break up? Will Kate keep the title? Who will go to live with their mother or grandmother? Will she be able to get child support? The prince is now unemployed ... We understand.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have been married for almost six years - in just a month, the couple will have to celebrate a "cast iron wedding". It's time for the first crisis! Rumors of the prince's stormy skiing holiday with an Australian model quickly spread all over the internet, giving rise to some nasty gossip. But the most terrible test of living together is the renovation of Kensington Palace! - still ahead.
Without predicting anything, we just want to figure out what will happen to Kate if she decides to file for divorce.
In English case law, the devil himself breaks his leg, so we can make assumptions based only on the sensational divorce proceedings of Prince William's parents, Princess Diana and Prince Charles. The couple officially broke up in 1996, and the scandal then came out loud.
In truth, a lot, in the event of a divorce of the dukes, will depend on her royal majesty. However, you don’t have to worry about Kate - Elizabeth has always treated her grandson’s wife with great sympathy.
Will Kate keep the title?
After marriage, Kate Middleton's official title is "Catherine Elizabeth, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge." At least that's what Prince William wrote when registering Prince George's birth.
When Diana, Her Royal Highness princess of wales, divorced Charles, according to their marriage contract she lost the title of "Her Royal Highness", remaining "Diana, Princess of Wales". It is curious at the same time that the queen wanted to leave both titles to Diana, but Prince Charles insisted that the princess in this situation ex-wife not to be.
Young Prince William son of Diana, then promised his mother: "Don't worry, mommy, I will return your title when I become king." Unfortunately, his words never came true.
But in the case of the marriage of Kate and William, there is a nuance: before the wedding, the couple refused to sign a prenuptial agreement. And that means that, unlike Diana, Kate will keep her royal title after divorce.
Before the wedding, royal expert Victoria Arbeiter elaborated:
“William, of course, owns a large fortune, inherited from Diana and from the Queen Mother, but he claims that he does not even consider the possibility of a divorce. He wants to avoid the mistakes of his predecessors and be sure that the future of the monarchy is secure. A divorce would be a real disaster."
However, much will depend on Elizabeth II: it is she who has the power to award titles and take them away.
Where will Kate live?
Most likely, she will keep the apartments in Kensington Palace. Now the owners of the mansion are officially William and Kate. It became their first official residence in London after their wedding on April 29, 2011.
As for His Highness, he can either live nearby in Kensington, or, for example, with relatives in St. James's Palace.
In general, we hope that the prince will not have to rent a “odnushka” somewhere in a residential area of London.
Will divorce affect children?
Exhale: Prince George and little Charlotte, no matter what, will remain contenders for royal throne and most likely will live with their mother. However, here it is necessary to clarify that the British ideas about education and training are different from ours. With a high probability, the royal children will go to private closed school and they will see their family only on holidays and vacations. So William and Kate don't have to fight over who takes the kids to the pool.
An agreement made at the time Princess Diana And Prince Charles, by the way, gave former spouses equal rights on both children: fourteen-year-old Prince William and his brother, eleven-year-old Harry. Most of the year the princes spent in private school, and during the holidays they alternately lived with one or the other parent.
What will Kate do after the divorce?
It is unlikely that the Duchess of Cambridge will have to post a resume on a job site. Most likely, she will continue to do charity work and perform all the functions assigned to the mother of the future king: attend dinner parties and participate in official receptions.
Will Kate get child support?
An alarming question, isn't it? After all, Prince William recently left his position as a pilot and is now officially considered unemployed. However, worry about financial condition the duchess is not worth it.
Certainly, most Kate received money from her marriage to Prince William, but even before that she did not have to work as a waitress at a local cafe. Her parents are multimillionaires. Kate's fortune in 2015 was estimated at about $ 7.2 billion, Prince George - at $ 3.6 billion, and his younger sister Charlotte - at all at $ 5 billion.
If the couple decide to divorce, Kate is likely to get more money, as happened with Princess Diana, who received lump sum payment in the amount of $22.5 million in cash, as well as $600,000 each year. True, these details are just an assumption of British newspapers, since divorced spouses did not discuss such subtleties with the press. The royal family is very reluctant to bring divorce scandals to light, so, probably, Kate will be offered an impressive amount for silence.
What if Kate wants to get married again?
Of course, no one can stop her from doing this. And until now, the opinion of experts regarding what would happen if Princess Diana wished to remarry is ambiguous.
There is a risk that in this case the duchess will lose a number of privileges. Experts in royal family most often agree that if Diana found herself a new husband, she would lose both her funding and the title.
In general, no matter how the fate of Kate and Prince William develops, we only hope that everything will be fine with them!
April 29, 2011 happened significant event, the accomplishment of which was followed by almost the whole world.

Photos of Kate's wedding: newlyweds and guests
Total number invited almost reached the figure of 2 thousand people. And that's not counting the tens of thousands who gathered on the streets of London to greet the participants in the ceremony and their guests.

Wedding Kate Middleton: clothes, dress - photo
For the wedding ceremony, Prince William chose a red tunic with a raspberry-gold ribbon.- The uniform of a Colonel of the Irish Guards. The bride, however, appeared before everyone in a stunningly beautiful snow-white dress, the highlight of which was the top and sleeves made of lace, as well as an elongated hem.
Wedding Dress for Kate created by Sarah Burton, designer of the fashion house Alexander McQueen. The head of the prince's bride was crowned with the Cartier tiara, owned by Queen Elizabeth II. This piece of jewelry was given to Prince Charles's grandmother by her parents when she was 18 years old. The bride's bouquet also had its symbolic meaning. Indeed, when compiling it, carnations (Sweet William), lilies of the valley, hyacinth, myrtle and ivy were used, which are symbols eternal love, happiness and strong marriage.
The Prince's full name is William Arthur Philip Louis Windsor. In order to inherit the right to become the Prince of Wales, he needed to learn the Welsh language. In general, the prince, in addition to his native English, is fluent in French, Latvian, and Spanish.
From birth, the prince was not like all other children born in royal families. He was the first child to be born not in the royal palace, but in St Mary's Hospital in London. The child immediately became a coveted object for the paparazzi from the moment the young parents, Diana and Charles, carried their first child out of the hospital. The best of the best "predators" fought for the right to take the first picture.
On December 4, 1982, the heir was christened at Buckingham Palace under the name William Arthur Philip Louis.
Naturally, parents wanted to give their first child better education and excellent upbringing. Diana and Charles departed from the habits of the royal families to teach heirs at home - little William was sent to primary school. Although, according to royal customs, it is assumed that teachers are hired by children, and they study within the walls of their home. So, for example, Prince Charles himself studied.
William did everything on a par with his peers: he studied at schools, lived with them in the same barracks, went in for sports, and then entered the famous Eton College, where he studied geography, biology and art history. And only in college did he begin to live in a separate room and use a separate shower. But even this decision was made not because of the stately title, but because of security considerations.
When the boy was 14 years old, he was in for a big shock - the divorce of his parents. Princess Diana devoted much time to her elder William and younger Harry and continued to be a member of the royal family, living in Kensington Palace.
A year later, on August 31, 1997, Diana died in a car accident. She and her lover, billionaire Dodi al-Fayed, crashed in a car when their driver tried to escape paparazzi.
Prince Charles forbade his children to have a radio - William learned about the death of his mother only the next day. Children took part in the funeral of Princess Diana, they followed the coffin all the way to Westminster Abbey, where the ceremony took place. After the grief that struck, Prince William needed a session with a psychologist, whom he personally invited. He blamed the paparazzi for the death of his mother, and then he hated them.

But a year passed - and the first heir to the throne entered prestigious university St Andrews in Scotland. There he met his beloved. Their relationship lasted all five years that they studied at St. Andrews, and after graduating from university, the couple began to live together at the residence of Prince Charles.
