昨年12月の大学の新聞にこんな記事を見つけた。
William 王子が従事しているRoyal Air Force のベースがあるのが、
Anglesey島の西側、Holyheadに近い。
私が住んでいるところからは、車で25分ぐらい。
もしかして、Waitroseで買い物してると遭遇しちゃうかも (^ ^)/

Royal Newlyweds to Settle on Anglesey
Prince William and Kate Middleton could soon become a common sight in and around Bangor after the pair announced plans to settle in Anglesey after their wedding next year. Prince William is currently working as a search and rescue pilot at RAF Valley, with a further 3-years to serve. Pubs and restaurants around the base have said that both William and fiancee Kate are becoming regular visitors and Kate is often visiting the Waitrose store in Menai Bridge.
The pair has announced the date of their royal wedding which is set to take place on Friday 29th April at Westminster Abbey. The day will be marked by a public holiday across the UK and Prime Minister David Cameron said, "It will ensure that the most people possible will have a chance to celebrate on the day."
The couple, both 28, got engated while on holiday in Kenya in October. The prince proposed to Kate with his mother Diana's diamond engagement ring.
Asked why he had done so, he said: "It is very special to me and Kate is very special to me now as well. It is only right the two are put together. It was also a way of my mother being a part of today."
The Royal Family and the Middleton's will pay for the wedding itself, but the taxpayer will meet the cost of extra security and transport.
The Prince's private secretary, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, said the couple chose the Abbey for its 'staggering beauty', 1,000-year royal history and its feeling of intimacy despite its size. Westminster Abbey has hosted the weddings of the Queen and Queen Mother and was the venue for the Princess Dianna's funeral in 1997.
