Kate Middleton will not vow to ‘obey’ Prince William in her wedding vows – following Princess Diana’s lead, it was claimed last night.
The bride-to-be will instead promise to ‘love, comfort, honour and keep’ her husband.
The couple have decided themselves what they want to say in their vows.
Diana ditched royal protocol when she wed Prince Charles in 1981 and controversially did not vow to ‘obey’.
But Diana, then just 20, failed to set a trend among royals. Sarah Ferguson and Sophie Rhys-Jones promised to obey in 1986 and 1999 respectively.
William, 28, and Kate 29, who marry at Westminster Abbey in just seven days time, decided on a version of their vows weeks ago but have kept the decision under wraps.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams praised the young couple for their approach to the wedding.
