Consequently, he is also second in line, again behind his father, to the position of Head of the Commonwealth (figurehead of the 54-member Commonwealth of Nations) and Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
He was educated at four schools in the United Kingdom and obtained a degree from the University of St Andrews. He spent parts of a gap year in Chile, Belize, and countries in Africa. He was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry—serving with his brother Prince Harry—and, two years later, earned his wings by completing pilot training at Royal Air Force College Cranwell. In 2009, the Prince transferred to the Royal Air Force, was promoted to flight lieutenant and underwent helicopter flying training in order to become a full time pilot with the Search and Rescue Force. In Autumn 2010, he completed his generic and special-to-type helicopter training and he is now at RAF Valley on No. 22 Squadron performing co-pilot duties on the Sea King search and rescue helicopter. On 16 November 2010 it was announced by Clarence House that Prince William and his long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton would marry on 29 April 2011 in Westminster Abbey, London. Hours prior to his wedding Prince William was created Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn andBaron Carrickfergus.[2] Prince William married Catherine Middleton on 29 April 2011 a Westminster Abbey.
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (sometimes called "Kate"; born Catherine Elizabeth Middleton on 9 January 1982) is the wife of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. Their wedding took place on 29 April 2011. Catherine grew up in Chapel Row at Buckle
bury, a village nearNewbury, Berkshire,[2] and studied in Scotland at the University of St Andrews, where she met Prince William in 2001.
