On 16 November 2010, the Prince of Wales announced the engagement of his eldest son Prince William to MissCatherine Middleton.

Their life together will serve as a symbol of the modern British Royal Family. Not since the seventeenth century has an heir to the British throne married an untitled commoner with no royal ancestors. In 2011 this may seem a trivial historical detail related to the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton, but it is a sobering reminder of the rarity of this momentous occasion. $175.00
