SOUNDBITE (English) Prince William:
(Question: "Did you get down on one knee?")
"(Laughs) That's going to stay a secret, Peter."
(Question: "Congratulations to you both, absolutely fantastic news. Kate, you're not just going to become the King's wife, you're going to become a member of the Royal Family as well, and I wondered how you feel about that?)
SOUNDBITE (English) Kate Middleton, Prince William's fiancee:
"Well, it's quite a daunting prospect but you know, hopefully I'll take it in my stride. William's a great teacher so he'll be able to help me along the way and I really look forward to, look forward to spending my time with him."
SOUNDBITE (English) Prince William:
"She's very good at flattery." (Middleton laughs)

UPSOUND: (Question: "You've been a couple for quite a long time, Prince William, why did it take you so long to propose? And Catherine, were you worried that he wasn't ever going to pop the question?")
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Prince William:
"Well, in answer to that, Tim, I'm not sure how many years it's been: forgetful memory. Umm, I also didn't realise it was a race otherwise I would have been a lot quicker but also the timing is right now. We are both very, very happy and I'm very glad that I have done it."
(Question. "Catherine can I ask you a question? Did you always know that he was going to propose to you?")
SOUNDBITE (English) Kate Middleton, Prince William's fiancee:
"No. No, I didn't. We've obviously, we have been going out a long time and we had sort of spoken about our future and no, it just seemed a natural, a natural step for both of us."
(Question: "Congratulations to you both.The ring that you've selected is obviously a very special ring. I'm just wondering if you can tell us a little bit about your thought processes in how you came to choose that ring? And Kate how much it means to you to receive that ring?")
SOUNDBITE (English) Prince William:
"Well, as you may recognise now, it's my mother's engagement ring so of course it's very special to me and Kate's very special to me now as well - it was only about the two put together. But it was my way of making sure that my mother didn't miss out on today and the excitement and the fact that we're going to spend the rest of our lives together."
5. Zoom in to close up of Middleton's hand with engagement ring
SOUNDBITE (English) Prince William:
"Where's Camilla? There you are."

UPSOUND: (Question: "Congratulations, huge congratulations. You're clearly a couple very much in love. You're clearly a couple who understand what love means. What is it that you both love about each other?")
(Prince William laughs)
SOUNDBITE (English) Prince William:
"Well, where do we start? Well, obviously we have a great, fun time together. We both have a very good sense of humour about things. We are down to earth, take the mickey out of each other a lot and she's got plenty of habits that make me laugh that I tease her about."
