Thursday, Dec. 2 at 8 p.m. ET
The E! NEWS special delves into every dramatic twist and romantic turn of Prince William’s eight-year courtship of his princess bride-to-be Kate Middleton, examining what ultimately led to their celebrated engagement. A fairy tale come true, theirs is the most highly-anticipated wedding since the legendary nuptials of William’s parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, 30 years prior. E! host Guiliana Rancic takes viewers behind the scenes for details on the wedding plans, Kate’s dress, and William’s special secret about the engagement ring, plus a revealing look at how Diana will still be a presence at this significant royal event.
Viewers will hear directly from Kate and William about their relationship’s ups and downs, from their devastating breakup to William’s romantic proposal in Kenya, plus Kate’s feelings on comparisons to Diana and her first meeting with Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II. The special will also scrutinize how the future princess has handled the paparazzi and media intrusions into her personal life as well as take a look at the influence she has had on fashion. Experts and friends will weigh in, discussing the couple’s initial ability to avoid media attention by keeping their relationship low-key and how things changed forever once Kate was increasingly seen in royal circles.
