Prince William tells Queen: I will marry Kate Middleton

Prince William has reportedly told the Queen that he is ready to propose to girlfriend Kate Middleton after the couple’s romantic break in the Seychelles.

A source told the People newspaper that the Queen had urged her grandson to make his mind up about Kate so that he didn’t appear indecisive.

A source told the newspaper: “Her Majesty left William in no doubt that she felt he had compromised himself by dumping Kate so brutally, then meekly taking her back.”

“She saw echoes of his father’s failings and feared he would lose his amazing level of public support if he kept stalling and leaving Kate hanging on a string.”

“William told the Queen the Seychelles break would be make or break and they would both make a decision on their return.”

“Her Majesty was delighted when William came back and told her, for the first time, that he felt he was ready to commit.”

“William said the holiday had exceeded all their hopes. He and Kate had a fantastic time just being together, and he realised how much he had missed her during their time apart.”

The couple formally separated in April but reunited again in July after a series of secret dates.
