Prince William broke royal tradition with Kate Middleton's dad - but it was risky move

It was at the foothills of Mount Kenya in October 2010, when Prince William asked his university sweetheart, Kate, to become his wife - seven years after they first started dating.

Brits were thrilled, not only at the fact much-loved Kate would finally be an official member of the royal family, but also at the prospect of being able to celebrate a royal wedding.
