Middleton in flowing dress and sunglasses, attending polo event PRINCE WILLIAM\'S FIANCEE KATE MIDDLETON SET TO BECOME STYLE ICON, SAY EXPERTS Prince William and girlfriend Kate Middleton are engaged and will marry in London next year, royal officials said on Tuesday (16 Nov 2010). Prince Charles\' Clarence House office said the heir to the throne is \"delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton.\" The couple got engaged last month during a vacation in Kenya. They are due to marry next spring or summer in London, Clarence House said. The couple are both 28 and met more than eight years ago while both were students at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. \"Prince William has informed the queen and other close members of his family,\" the statement said. \"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.\" William, second in line to the throne, is an RAF search and rescue pilot. The engagement will make Kate Middleton a style icon for women across the world, experts say. Ever since their relationship became public knowledge, she\'s been admired for her model looks and the elegance of her dress sense. Now she\'s likely to become one of the world\'s most influential women, drawing comparisons with William\'s late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. \"I\'ve seen her party, I\'ve seen her drink, but she always leaves the club looking immaculate,\" says Nicholl.
