Live coverage of BBC News following the announcement by Clarence House that Prince William is to marry Kate Middleton next year.
Prince William is to marry Kate Middleton next year, Clarence House has said.
William, second in line to the throne, will marry in the year which would have marked the 30th anniversary of his parents’ wedding.
The couple, who are both 28, became engaged in October during a private holiday in Kenya.
They began dating eight years ago while studying at St Andrews University in Fife, where they shared a house.
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. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.
“Prince William has informed The Queen and other close members of his family.
“Prince William has also sought the permission of Miss Middleton’s father.
“Following the marriage, the couple will live in north Wales, where Prince William will continue to serve with the Royal Air Force.”
Prime Minister David Cameron’s spokeswoman said he was “delighted” and sent the couple his very best.
Ed Miliband said he was also delighted for Prince William and Kate Middleton.
“The whole country will be wishing them every happiness.”
Prince William and Kate Middleton both started out on the same history of art course at St Andrews in 2001, although William later switched to geography. For several years, they shared accommodation with friends.
Miss Middleton, who is six months older than William, was credited with persuading the prince to stay on as he struggled to adjust to university life during his first year.
They graduated in the same ceremony from St Andrews in 2005 and their families joined them for a celebratory lunch.
The couple’s relationship was exposed in 2005 when they were photographed together on the Swiss ski slopes of Klosters.
Miss Middleton is the eldest child of businessman Michael Middleton and former air hostess Carole.
She was raised in a modern five-bedroom detached house in the Berkshire village of Bucklebury and her family, who are self-made millionaires, run a mail order toy and party goods company.

There is intense speculation the Irish government needs financial help from the European Union Eurozone ministers are set to meet in Brussels as the debt crisis once again threatens the 16-member bloc’s economic stability.
The talks come as the spotlight once again falls on the weaker member countries, and whether they can manage their debt without help from European Union (EU) assistance funds.
The Irish Republic on Monday insisted it did not need EU help.
But there is intense speculation it may be forced to use EU bail-out money.
Dublin said it was in contact with “international colleagues” but the Prime Minister, Brian Cowan, dismissed talk of a bail-out by the EU or IMF.
“One of the great pejorative phrases that continue to be used is this thing of bail out which suggests that the country is in some way seeking not to meet its obligations to meet its own debts – that is not the case,” he said.
He added that his government had firm plans for sorting out the country’s problems.
“In the coming weeks will be putting forward the plans that show how we put our budget back into order as a member of the Euro area,” he said.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the head of the Eurogroup of finance ministers, said the eurozone was ready to act “as soon as possible” if Ireland sought financial assistance.
But he stressed that “Ireland has not put forward their request”.
“As long as they don’t, we are not supposed to deal with a theoretical request,” he said.
A spokesman for Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn said that pressure on Dublin to take a bail-out was not coming from the European Commissioner, but from “another player”.
“A bail-out would be a humiliation for a country that just a short while ago was the Celtic Tiger. Some see these days as critical for Irish fiscal independence”
Read Gavin’s blog Greece’s budget deficit worsens Europe’s Pigs: What went wrong EU austerity drive country by country
Last week, market anxiety spread to other heavily indebted eurozone nations, including Portugal and Spain, driving up their borrowing costs.
Portuguese Finance Minister Fernando Teixeira dos Santos told the Financial Times there was now a high risk that Portugal would have to seek foreign financial aid.
“The risk is high because we are not facing only a national or country problem,” he told the FT. “It is the problems of Greece, Portugal and Ireland. This is not a problem of only this country.”
He stressed subsequently, however, that Portugal had no immediate plans to ask for assistance.
The yield on Irish bonds – essentially IOUs sold by the government to fund state spending – traded lower on Monday, suggesting a slight easing of concerns.
Although Tuesday’s talks are routine, formal meeting of Eurozone ministers, the BBC’s Europe editor Gavin Hewitt said that high-level talks had already begun, involving European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and his economy commissioner Olli Rehn.
Brussels fears that any delay risks repeating the Greek crisis that earlier this year threatened the entire eurozone, he added.
“There would not be a banking system in Ireland – and therefore not an economy in any conventional sense – if it weren’t for the generosity of the European Central Bank in providing loans to Irish banks that the markets won’t provide”
Some reports suggest that the Irish Republic could seek help for its banking sector alone, rather than asking for help at a government level.
This, say observers, would save them the embarrassment of being rescued by the EU and avoid greater involvement by Brussels in economic decisions.
The Irish government has all but nationalised the country’s banking system, which had lent recklessly to property developers at a cost of 45bn euros.
The government has consistently stated its determination to restore stability to the public finances and stressed that it was “fully funded” until 2011.
Meanwhile concerns persist about the state of the Greek economy, which received an EU bail-out worth up to 110bn euros.
European and IMF officials will be in the country this week to decide whether to release the final tranche of the money.
The scale of the problems still facing Greece were further underlined by the latest official European figures which showed that its budget deficit in 2009 was markedly higher than previously stated.
Since 2008, the Irish Republic has suffered a dramatic collapse of its property market.
House values have fallen between 50% and 60% and bad debts – mainly in the form of loans to developers – have built up in the country’s main banks, bringing them to the verge of collapse.
The country has promised the EU it will bring its underlying deficit down from 12% of economic output to 3% by 2014.
Its current deficit is an unprecedented 32% of gross domestic product, if the cost of bad debts in the Irish banking system is included.
The Irish government, which has a flimsy majority in parliament, is expected to publish another draconian budget on 7 December.
This will impose spending cuts or tax rises totalling 6bn euros to bring the deficit down to between 9.5-9.75% next year.
Investors fear the budget cuts are likely to worsen the country’s already deep recession, leading to further losses to the government via falling tax revenues and higher benefit payments.

The court heard Mr Singh was killed after he refused to hand over his “hard-earned money” to the men Two men have been jailed for life for murdering a shopkeeper during a robbery at his village store in West Yorkshire.
Gurmail Singh was hit over the head with bottles of wine from the shelves of Cowcliffe Convenience Stores in Cowcliffe, Huddersfield, in February.
Huddersfield men Muawaz Khalid and Nabeel Shafi were previously convicted of murder at Bradford Crown Court.
Khalid, 20, was told he must spend at least 21 years in prison while Shafi, 18, was given a 20-year minimum term.
As the two men were sentenced Shafi shouted: “That’s not right. I’m innocent. I never touched anyone. You’ve got the wrong guy.”
His supporters joined in the shouting before they left the court.
During the trial the prosecution said Mr Singh, 63, was attacked on the night of 20 February after he refused to “meekly hand over his property, his hard-earned money” during the robbery.
He died in hospital the following day.

Business and personal customers were able to pre-order foreign currency Customers who lost thousands of pounds in travel money when an exchange company collapsed are only expected to recoup a “small percentage” of lost funds.
A creditors’ report detailing the collapse of Crown Currency Exchange reveals that 8,000 people have made claims totalling £16.5m.
The company went into administration at the beginning of October.
The administrators said the case would take some time to “unravel”.
The business, based in Hayle in Cornwall, was established six years ago.
It allowed individuals and business customers to pre-order foreign exchange at a set price up to a year in advance. Foreign currency was often sent through the post to customers who had sent a cheque in advance, or transferred money online.
It provided travel money in 80 different currencies, as well as travellers’ cheques and money transfers, sometimes for people to buy property.
“The value of the transactions typically ranged from £100 to around £20,000. However there are several transactions in excess of £100,000,” said Paul Clark, of administrators MCR.
When it collapsed at the start of October, customers were warned it could take up to six months before they heard if they would get any cash back.
CCE was not covered by any Financial Services Authority compensation schemes.
Cases of lost money included couples planning honeymoons, surprise holidays and a Disney break for a youngster who had been suffering from cancer. An action group has also been set up, representing about 2,000 creditors.
Joint administrators SPW and MCR received nearly 9,500 e-mails and 3,000 phone enquiries from customers.
However, in an unusual move, the administrators have obtained a court order so the names and addresses of those who have lost money need not be listed on the creditors’ report.
The administrators had also obtained a freezing order on the assets of the director, Peter Benstead, which has since been discharged after he gave an undertaking not to sell any of his assets.
They added that “a significant number of transactions have been identified that require further investigation”.
According to the report, Mr Benstead believed on 27 September – when he held a meeting with the eventual administrators – that the businesses were heavily insolvent and had been for some time. The company went into administration on 4 October.
The company’s bank – Barclays – had been “seeking clarity” on the how the company operated since May.
A creditors’ meeting will be held at the Hilton Metropole Hotel, at the NEC in Birmingham, at 2pm on 30 November.

More than 300 jobs could be at risk after a company which makes frozen food in Flintshire confirmed it has entered a 90-day consultation with staff.
Headland Foods Ltd, in Flint, confirmed the news, but made no further comment.
The company, which was established in 1990, cut 95 jobs last year, blaming a downturn in sales.
Delyn MP David Hanson said he had contacted the company but it had yet to respond.

The people police want to speak to were caught on CCTV or filmed by officers during the stand-off Police investigating violence that flared during last week’s student fees demonstration in London have released images of 13 people they want to trace.
Dozens of people were hurt when 2,000 protesters split from the march to surround the Conservative HQ, where windows were smashed and fires lit.
The 13 were filmed on CCTV cameras or by officers during the stand-off.
Separately, a teenager was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a fire extinguisher was thrown at police.
It had been dropped from the roof of the building, where a number of protesters had gathered.
A total of 58 people have now been arrested in connection with the violence.
Windows were smashed and missiles hurled at police during the demo Police preparation for the demonstration was criticised after just 225 officers were assigned to oversee the march.
Senior officers were later forced to draft in 225 reinforcements to deal with the four-hour stand-off, which saw missiles hurled at police and graffiti daubed on walls.
Student leaders have criticised those who took part in violence, saying it detracted from the peaceful protest attended by an estimated 25,000 people.
They are angry at government plans to allow universities to charge up to £9,000 per year in tuition fees.
Meanwhile, a website which published advice to protesters on how to avoid arrest has been closed down after Scotland Yard detectives told its hosting company it was being used to “pervert the course of justice”.
A letter from Acting Det Insp Will Hodgeson asked for the Fitwatch blog and IP address to be suspended for 12 months.
It said: “The website is providing explicit advice to offenders following a major demonstration in central London.”
The high-profile website was set up three years ago by veteran protesters Emily Apple and Val Swain in response to police forward intelligence teams (Fit) teams photographing the activities of suspected extremists.
Last week it published an anonymous post advising how to evade arrest, with instructions on destroying potential evidence, including clothing and distinctive jewellery.
Anyone who recognises any of the suspects should call the Metropolitan Police on 0208 246 9386 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

The surprise rise in inflation means the Bank of England continues to face a policy dilemma The UK Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation rate rose unexpectedly to a four-month high of 3.2% in October, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Analysts had expected the CPI figure to remain unchanged at 3.1%.
Meanwhile, Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation fell slightly to 4.5%, down from 4.6% a month earlier.
RPI contains a bigger share of housing costs, and is used to calculate many benefits payment and pensions.
Higher fuel prices made a large contribution to the rise in inflation. Prices for fuels and lubricants jumped 1.8% versus September, in part due to the higher road fuel duty that came into force on 1 October.
The price of games, toys and hobbies also rose steeply, according to the ONS, up 1.9% on the month.
The news means the Bank of England continues to be posed with a policy dilemma.
CPI inflation remained more than one percentage point above the Bank’s 2% target, meaning governor Mervyn King will have to write another letter to the Chancellor of the Exchequer – his fourth this year – explaining the central bank’s failure to bring the rate down.
But with the new government having announced the biggest round of budget cuts since World War II, the Bank still expects the resulting slowdown in spending to bring inflation down over the next two years.
The Bank’s monetary policy committee voted earlier this month not to change its current policy position.
Mr King noted earlier this month that with the outlook for the world economy so uncertain, the Bank would be watching the latest economic data particularly closing before deciding on the right direction.

A number of outlets at Boucher Retail Park have been badly damaged Three stores have been severely damaged in a blaze which started at about 0400 GMT at Boucher Retail Park in Belfast.
Seventeen appliances and 85 firefighters struggled for several hours to bring the fire at Boucher Crescent under control.
The shops most severely affected are Poundstretcher, Birthdays and JD Sports, while several other were affected by smoke and water.
It is not yet known if the fire was started deliberately.
Assistant Chief Officer Owen Doyle said: “We have three of the units at Boucher Crescent severely damaged by the fire and a further nine shop units that have been affected by smoke and water damage.
“At this point, we have the fire surrounded and we are attempting to prevent it from spreading along the roof.
The fire appears to have started at Poundstretchers “The fire appears to have started at Poundstretcher and as yet we are unable to establish how that fire started.
“It has also spread to the adjacent properties on either side.”
There are 20 to 30 full-time and seasonal staff who work in Poundstretchers.
BBC reporter Conor McCauley said it was understood attempts would be made to re-locate them at the chain’s other premises.
As well as the three stores badly damaged in the fire, nine others have been badly affected.
The cause of the blaze is being investigated but it could be several days before it is known how it started.

Alpha Conde’s supporters celebrate while security is stepped up after rioting on the streets of Conakry
The defeated candidate in Guinea’s presidential election, Cellou Dalein Diallo, has called for calm following violence about the election results.
He said he would challenge in court the provisional results, which saw veteran opposition leader Alpha Conde take more than 52% of the votes.
The BBC’s Alhassan Sillah in Conakry says tensions are high in the capital and sporadic gunfire can be heard.
The election aims to mark the end of 52 years of authoritarian rule.
But since the first round in June, won by Mr Diallo – a former prime minister – the process has been marred by violence and delays.
According to the electoral commission, Mr Conde received 1.47 million votes in the country’s 28 districts, against 1.3 million votes, or 47.5%, for Mr Diallo.
After the announcement of the results on Monday night, Mr Conde, 72, reached out to Mr Diallo, saying: “The time has come to join hands.
“We must, at all costs, maintain peace in this country”
Cellou Dalein Diallo Defeated candidate
“I dedicate this victory to all Guineans without any distinction – to all of you who voted for me and to all of those who made a different choice,” he said.
“Time has come to work together in a spirit of concordance and fraternity. I will be the president of change. I will the president of national reconciliation and progress.”
But our reporter says the celebrations of Mr Conde’s supporters were marred by earlier violence on Monday.
Despite a ban on political demonstrations, Mr Diallo’s supporters took to the street, burnt tyres and set up barricades in parts of the capital. Several people were arrested and injured in clashes with riot police.
On Tuesday morning, residents in some parts of the capital were too scared to attend special prayers for the Eid al-Adha religious festival, our correspondent says.
But observers fear that Mr Diallo may to be able to control the streets.
The former prime minister has said he would mount a challenge to the results in the Supreme Court.

“We must, at all costs, maintain peace in this country,” he told Radio France International, Reuters news agency reports.
Before the run-off both candidates, who come from Guinea’s two largest ethnic groups, the Peul and Malinke, had promised to include each other in government.
Mr Diallo gained 44% of the first round vote in June, compared with 18% for Mr Conde. The opposition leader later complained of fraud.
Guinea has been led since January by the interim government of Gen Sekouba Konate, who took over from the leaders of a 2008 coup.
The military seized power after the death of autocratic President Lansana Conte, who ruled the mineral-rich state for 24 years.
Guinea is the world’s largest exporter of the aluminium ore bauxite, yet the country is one of the poorest in West Africa.
