In the fall of 2010, the couple was on vacation in Kenya. William proposed to Kate while the couple was preparing William’s favorite dish–roasted chicken. Kate’s engagement ring belonged to William’s mother, Princess Diana, who died tragically in 1997.
Buckingham Palace officially confirmed the engagement on November 16th, 2010. The couple held a press conference and a photo shoot, and the preparations for the wedding were set in motion. The ceremony was to overshadow all previous events involving the British Crown. Before the ceremony, however, Kate Middleton had to receive confirmation.
