19 - Waity Katie No More: A Prince William and Kate Middleton Engagement Retrospective

Americrown Dreams - A British Royal Family Podcast

This week the Royals gathered to celebrate an amazing event--Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s 70th wedding anniversary! Harry and Meghan can certainly learn a lot from looking at his grandparents, but another event that happened seven years ago can provide a lot of guidance for the near-term. On November 16, 2010, the Royal Family announced that Prince William was engaged to his long-time girlfriend, Catherine Middleton. After Jenna and Katelyn finished grieving the fact that Wills was off the market, we were excited to live vicariously through Kate, a commoner marrying into the Firm. On this episode, your hosts look at the logistics of the engagement, including the proposal in Kenya, the formal announcement, the interview, the dress, the photos, and the reaction, and speculate about what will happen if/when Harry and Meghan reach a similar milestone! In this week’s news, the Queen gets cultured in Hull, Charles celebrates a birthday, William and Harry do good around London, Kate plays with babies, and Meghan flies to the UK.
