Like Diana, Kate Middleton too will drop 'obey' from wedding vows

It's official. Prince William's fiancee Kate Middleton will reportedly follow in late Princess Diana's footsteps by omitting the word "obey" from her wedding vows.

She will instead promise to "love, comfort, honour and keep" Prince William, London's Daily Mirror reported.

Diana pledged herself to Prince Charles in a similar way during their wedding ceremony in 1981.

The revelation comes as the future king, 28, and his bride-to-be finalise their preparations for the much-anticipated event, which is just one week away, reported the Sydney Morning Herald.
