A maid in Kenya was told about the engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton, before even the Queen was informed. Margret Lekartgi, a 22-year-old maid, has known about William and Kate’s engagement for a month, while even the Queen, Prince Harry and Prime Minister David Cameron were not aware. Lekartgi had taken care of the prince and his now fiancée at the safari holiday during which the prince proposed. “I was so pleased when I found out about the engagement but we were told not to tell anyone anything about it. They were such lovely people, so happy together,” the Daily Mail quoted Lekartgi as saying.
She lives in the town of Isiolo, in northern Kenya. William proposed to his girlfriend on the last day of their holiday in a wooden lodge on the slopes of Mount Kenya.
A month later, the Queen and the rest of the royal family were told the news and it was announced to the public last week.
