It was Wales that brought them together...

Couples go through rocky times. In June this year, Prince William dropped into McColl's convenience store in Blaenau Ffestiniog, and picked up two frozen stonebaked-style pepperoni pizzas, a bag of McCain frozen chips, an iceberg lettuce, a bag of salad leaves, a bottle of Tropicana orange juice and two bottles of water. Then he found he had no cash, and Kate Middleton came in to pay with her platinum credit card. A classy evening was clearly ahead for the RAF Valley helicopter rescue pilot and his girlfriend.

However grand next year's wedding, the Prince and bride-to-be have committed to fulfilling his three year posting at RAF Valley.  The press haven't yet found their Snowdonia hideaway, but it won't take long now...
