Princess Kate could soon be invited to the nuptials of two close friends in a place that is especially meaningful to her and Prince William.
Back in 2010 William proposed to his then-girlfriend of several years at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in the foothills of Mount Kenya, with the news going public in November that year.
Joss Craig, 29, whose father William runs the 55,000-acre conservancy, has got engaged to Miranda Simpson, the sanctuary’s horse-riding manager.
A friend told the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden: “Wouldn’t it be lovely if Catherine could attend the wedding?”
In 2008 William attended the wedding of Batian Craig, Joss’s cousin, even though it was on the same day as the wedding of his own cousin, Peter Phillips.
Kenya has long been a place in the Prince’s heart, as before he even met Kate he spent part of his gap year in the East African country.
Royal commentator Ashley Pearson said on the Amazon Prime documentary Kate Middleton: Working Class to Windsor: “So with all the attention on her, and she is quite shy – it just complicates things and makes it very difficult.
“The first time we really got to hear her voice was in the interview when William and Kate announced their engagement, when she wore that much famous and much copied Issa dress.
“William a couple of times kind of answered the questions for her that she was asked, or corrected her, and was obviously very protective of her.
“She was not comfortable – very clearly – speaking on camera.”
