On 16 November 2010, Clarence House announced that Prince William and Middleton were to marry; the couple had become engaged in Kenya in October.
The engagement ring given by William to Catherine had belonged to his mother.

The wedding took place on 29 April 2011 in Westminster Abbey, London.
A few hours before the ceremony, William's new titles Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn, and Baron Carrickfergus were announced.

His wife's first pregnancy was announced on 3 December 2012.
She was admitted on 22 July 2013 to the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, London, where Prince William had been delivered.
Later that day, she gave birth to Prince George.
On 8 September 2014, it was announced that the Duchess of Cambridge was pregnant with her second child.
She was admitted on 2 May 2015 to the same hospital and gave birth to Princess Charlotte.
The Duchess's third pregnancy was announced on 4 September 2017; Prince Louis was born on 23 April 2018.

In March 2017, a video of William dancing with an unidentified woman at a nightclub in Verbier, Switzerland, surfaced in the media.
At the time, he was on a skiing holiday with his friends.
The press criticised William's behaviour because he had failed to attend the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, which was attended by other senior members of the royal family.
