“Kate’s very special”. In the midst of austerity budgets and fiscal crises, with an Irish neighbour in economic death throes, quality UK broadsheet The Daily Telegraph leads with the news that Prince William, second in line to the throne after his father Prince Charles, has proposed to long time girlfriend Kate Middleton. The Prince offered Miss Middleton the sapphire and diamond engagement ring that belonged to his late mother, killed in a Paris car crash in 1997. This was in order “to bring together the two most “special” women in his life,” the quality daily reveals. The gleaming couple will be married next spring or summer in a ceremony sure to attract “the biggest worldwide TV audiences”, the quality daily notes.
