Prince William and Kate Middleton engagement announced

Prince William and Kate Middleton announced they would get married next year. He gave her a ring and a blue sapphire to wear and they are excited to spend their lives together. William proposed to Kate on a private holiday in Kenya last month. His father and stepmother are both “delighted” and her parents were “thrilled”. The details of the wedding plans are still unknown but it will take place in London next spring or summer. Although everybody wishes them the best, the spokesman of a group campaigning for an end to the monarchy said that the government must not spend more money on the royals in this time because the government is making people unemployed, and payments are slashed, and people are being told to tighten their belts so it would be wrong if the government is going to pay a lot for their wedding.
My reaction:
It is nice that they get married, they have been together for eight years now so it took them some time to make the big step. This group who wants an end to the monarchy could be right because in this time crisis is all over the world and their neighbors, Ireland, is a hot topic in the news now with their crisis so I think it is important for the government not to spend a lot of money on the wedding while they are trying to recover from the crisis.

  1. I agree with Gerrejanne that it is nice that this couple will get married next year. I also think that the group who wants to end monarchy is right, especially now with the crisis. I think people from the UK will not be very happy if the government pays for an expensive royal wedding. Maybe they should pay a part theirselves, or they should postpone the wedding.
