Summary Prince William and bride-to-be Kate Middleton performed their first official engagement as a couple on Thursday, giving them an early taste of the life in the spotlight that awaits them.
The couple shook hands with local officials ahead of a service of dedication for the new boat. Although a relatively minor ceremony, for Middleton it offered a brief glimpse of the kind of official duties she will have to perform first as princess, and eventually as queen.The issue of their exposure to the media is a sensitive one, given that Williams mother Diana died in a Paris car crash in 1997 after being pursued by photographers.
