William and Kate's romantic Scottish holiday
Feb 7, 2006, 14:38 GMT
Britain's Prince William is taking girlfriend Kate Middleton on a romantic Scottish holiday to celebrate Valentine's Day.
The 23-year-old will take Kate to a remote cottage on the edge of the Balmoral estate, which belongs to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The handsome royal was given the secluded house by the Queen Mother before she died. He and Kate - who started dating after meeting at St Andrews University - have stayed there on several occasions. The Highland break will be the couple's first chance to spend time alone since William enrolled in officer training at Sandhurst Military Academy. The pair weren't able to see each other for five weeks after the prince started his intensive training at the world-renowned academy. Meanwhile, it has been claimed William - who has reportedly pledged at least four years to the military - will not consider proposing to Kate until he leaves the army. A source told Britain's The People newspaper: 'William finds all the talk of an imminent engagement laughable. 'He takes his relationship with Kate extremely seriously. But he knows his service career will occupy most of his time. He does not wish to play the field - he simply does not believe in pledging his future to somebody he then ends up spending very little time with.'Copyright 2006 BANG Media International
