Prince William and Kate Middleton seem to be ready to tie the knot. According to reports, Middleton has been living with the prince at his city residence, Clarence House.

“She and William have had a rollercoaster year, but it is fair to say they’re closer than ever,” says a source. “Since getting back together in the summer their relationship has matured and they are now on far more equal footing.”

The couple sparked rumors of an engagement earlier this year after Middleton spent a weekend with William and his father, Prince Charles. .
