Prince William, the second in line of succession to the British throne, has finally decided to marry his on-off  girlfriend Kate Middleton, but only after completion of his military training, reports PTI from London.

“Although the couple are dating again, Kate will have to wait until at least July 2009 to be his bride. William is very happy at the moment and everything is great with him and Kate, but he’s aware that now their romance is back on track all the speculation about a Royal wedding will start up again,”the Daily Mail reported on Sunday, quoting one of prince’s close friends as saying.

“He and Kate have had a lot of discussions about their future together. William has told Kate he is in no hurry to get engaged and that while he does want to get married, he doesn’t want to marry just yet. If William has his way there probably won’t be a wedding until July 2009 when he finishes all his military training commitments.

“As long as Wills behaves himself, Kate will be happy to wait. She’s young and in love, but also not in any hurry to get married.” Kate, a Canadian, is planning to quit her job as a buyer at High Street chain Jigsaw and has now made William her sole focus since getting him back.
