Prince William and his longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton have reached "an understanding" that their eight-year relationship will culminate into marriage by 2011, a media report said on Sunday.
While marriage is a "done deal" between William and Middleton, both 27 years old, it's not expected until 2011 at the earliest, the 'News of the World' reported, quoting well- placed sources in the Royal Family, as saying.
The plan is that by the time the Queen celebrates her historic Diamond Jubilee in 2012, Middleton will be on the palace balcony at her side as a fully-fledged princess.
Insiders say he and his key advisers — including the man he trusts above all others, his father Prince Charles — have a route map to the altar in place with Middleton, the girl he has dated since they fell in love as students at St Andrews University.
