THERE is every sign that William and Kate are a match made to last.

They were student housemates, so got to know each other when he was struggling with getting essays in on time just like everyone else.

He had a wobble a while back - but it wasn't long before he seemed to realise life without Kate wasn't fun after all.

Apart from Prince Harry, she is the other person around his own age who can talk straight to him and help him feel normal.

When he has had to shake 100 hands and everyone is swooning to meet him, someone who can gently take the mickey will keep him feeling human.

And especially having lost his mum so young, it will make all the difference to his deep-down happiness and stability by having a woman in his life who is 100 per cent dependable and has shown that she can survive the pressures of life in the Royal Family.


Wedding will ease our woe

By TREVOR KAVANAGH, Associate Editor

KATE and Wills could not have picked a better moment than the month before Christmas to announce their engagement.

We now have a Royal Wedding to make us forget about dreary cuts, strikes, jobs and inflation.

It's almost as if David Cameron teed it up to launch his new index of national happiness.

Thanks to the Royal couple, the news will be dominated through the dark days of January and February by tales about Kate's bottom drawer and her wedding dress.

Sharp rises in VAT and Stamp Duty will be eclipsed by speculation about the honeymoon.

As Ireland goes bust and the euro collapses in ruins, Britain's morale will be lifted by an avalanche of romantic news from the Palace.

It's just like the wartime spirit of The Blitz - when Wills' great grandma took Britain's mind off the bombing with a visit to London's devastated East End.





PRINCE Charles hailed his son's wedding plans yesterday - with a joke about the nine years it has taken William and Kate to name the day.

When asked to comment, delighted Charles replied: "Thrilled, obviously."

Then he added: "They have been practising long enough!"

The Queen also made a "what kept them" quip as she led the nation's joy at the couple's announcement.

Her Majesty was congratulated while hosting a reception at Windsor Castle for leaders of British overseas territories.

She told her guests: "It is brilliant news - it has taken them a very long time."

Kate's future stepmum-in-law Camilla described next year's nuptials as "wicked".

The Duchess of Cornwall spoke as she left the Apollo Theatre in central London, where the witch musical Wicked is being staged.

She said: "It's the most brilliant news. I'm just so happy and so are they. It's wicked."

Earl Spencer, William's uncle and the brother of the late Princess Diana, said: "It's wonderful news. Very exciting. My family are all thrilled."

Prime Minister David Cameron phoned William to offer congratulations and later described the Prince as "extremely excited" and "thrilled".

He said: "It is incredibly exciting news and I'm sure the country will want to pass best wishes to the happy couple and wish them an incredibly long and happy life together."

The PM said he was handed a piece of paper informing him of the engagement during yesterday morning's Cabinet meeting.

Ministers gave a "great cheer" and banged the table when he told them the news.

Mr Cameron added that Britain had "a great day of national celebration" to look forward to.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: "I am thrilled to hear the fantastic news."

Send your congratulations for William and Kate

He said he and his wife Miriam "send very best wishes to the happy couple ahead of their big day."
