Hi Arachnids,
Please find a full 'human' (well sort of ;-)) translation of the text that
goes with Kate's lace dress at Madame Tussaud's Amsterdam. Enjoy.

Prince William and Kate Middleton met when they were studying History of Art
at the University of St Andrew. As a spark alights between them they try
with all their might to keep their young, blossoming relationship a secret,
but the paparazzi lap up any detail they can get hold of. In 2006 their
relationship flounders, but they miss each other and even decide to live
together; most unusual for a prince.
At their engagement in 2010 William gives Kate a very special present: the
engagement ring of his dead mother, Lady Di. He says: “In this way
she –Princess Diane- is also present”. On 29 April, 2011 the pair marries in
Westminster Abbey in London. Kate wears a stylish, ivory coloured dress with
lace, designed by Sarah Burton of the fashion house Alexander McQueen.
Millions of people join in the wedding festivities either stuck to ‘the box’
or in reality London. William thanks the public by driving around in his
blue sports car with his new bride at his side waving at the cheering
crowds.. On the number plate it states ‘JUST WED’
Surprisingly William and Kate do not immediately leave for their honeymoon:
only a week later do they leave for a private island in the Seychelles.
For Kate, 2011 is also a glory year because she was chosen ‘Best dressed
woman of the year’ by the magazine Harper’s Bazaar. The dress by Alice
Temperley that is worn by the Kate look-alike dummy, was worn by Kate at the
premiere of the play War Horse. Also with lace just like her wedding dress.
It shows Kate from her best side ...
With many thanks to you Jean for giving us the quick computer translation as
I had no time to do this earlier.
Happy lace making.
