I Made A Terrible Mistake' Says Heir to The British Throne - Prince William divorces Kate

LONDON—Barely a month after marrying 29-year-old Kate Middleton in a royal wedding ceremony watched by an estimated 2 billion people worldwide, Prince William announced Tuesday that he and Middleton have divorced and that the entire marriage was "a tremendous mistake in every possible regard." "I really don't know what I was thinking—we're a terrible match, I don't love her and never have, and, to be honest, I never really had any interest in being married in the first place," announced the now unattached Prince William to a dead-silent British press corps. "People thought our wedding was some sort of fairy tale, but I assure you it was all just some ghastly ceremonial farce that got out of hand. I'm just relieved it's over, frankly. And I'm glad I'll never have to see that awful woman again." Prince William then told the assembled reporters, "Well, see you all later," smiled, and walked back into Buckingham Palace.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have chosen their 'perfect home' as their London residence in the grounds of Kensington Palace

PRINCE William and his new bride have set up home in a little cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace.The pretty house, which is in a quiet spot in the palace complex, is said to be the “perfect home” for the newlyweds, who are keen to start a family.Reached through an archway, it has its own private garden and has been hand-picked by the couple as their new London residence.Crates of their possessions ­arrived at the cottage on Thursday, we can reveal. Boxes and suitcases were piled up on the lawn outside the house ­before being ­carried in by staff.Wills, who turns 29 on Tuesday, and Kate, 29, made a final ­decision on the cottage earlier this month ­after they were given a choice of properties in the grounds of the ­palace.

An ­insider said: “There was a lot of ­excitement on Thursday.

“This is them setting up home as a married couple.

“It’s an ­absolutely smashing little house. It’s so quiet there you’d never think you were in the middle of ­London.”

The Duke and ­Duchess of Cambridge will officially take up ­residence at the ­cottage when they ­arrive back from their 11-day tour of Canada and America next month.They will keep their small home in ­Anglesey, North Wales, where William is based as a search-and-rescue pilot. And they will also have an apartment in the main palace.Until now, the couple’s London base has been Clarence House in the bachelor flat William ­previously shared with younger brother Prince Harry, 26.The source added: “The cottage is the perfect house to start their new lives ­together until they have a family and need a bigger space.”William and Harry lived in apartment eight of Kensington Palace with their mum Diana until her death in 1997 and spent many happy hours playing in the gardens of the palace.The gated 17th Century palace sits next to the most expensive ­residential street in Britain, Kensington Palace Gardens in Hyde Park, where the average house price is £19.3million.Conveniently, the palace is also a stone’s throw away from the flat of Kate’s sister ­Pippa Middleton.A St James’s Palace ­spokesman ­confirmed the delivery of the couple’s possessions.

“They are in the process of moving in and they expect fully to move in after their return from Canada,” he added.

“Their home will remain Anglesey, but ­Kensington Palace will ­become their ­London ­residence.”
