Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton in an isolated cabin in Africa

Prince William chose to be less stereotyped when he popped the question of marriage to Kate Middleton in a log cabin in Kenya.

It was only after months of planning and years of speculation that William proposed Middleton with his mother’s diamond-and-sapphire engagement ring, at the spartan Rutundu Log Cabins.

"It just felt really right out in Africa," the New York Daily quoted William as saying.

"I had done a bit of planning to show my romantic side," he added.

The pair let their love relationship to bloom for eight years before taking a plunge into holy matrimony.
 
The over-cautious prince says he waited long to propose Middleton, so as to ensure that she was prepared for the responsibilities that come with marrying the second in line to the British throne.

"We're looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together, and see what the future holds," said William.
