Prince William is knighted in England in a fancy, formal, hoighty toighty ceremony.  I thought being a Prince meant he was automatically a knight?

More pictures after the jump…

But maybe not.  Who knows specifics on Princes and Princesses?  Anyone?  And if you want to see the pictures of the crazy getups they Royals all wore for the process, check out Perez.  Gotta love history, tradition and the invention of the big hat.   I guess in order to be a knight you put up with a little fluff.  Between military dress uniforms and such, how many costumes do you think are in Prince Charles’ closet?

(( British royal Prince William reportedly had a commitment ceremony with his on/off girlfriend Kate Middleton while on vacation in paradise, according to sensational press reports.

The Globe claims Prince William, 25, heir to the U.K. throne set up a mock wedding ceremony as a surprise to Middleton during a vacation in the Seychelles.

The alleged semi-nuptials were so last minute, William didn’t have time to buy Middleton a ring and instead used a red leather band bought from a local beach trader to seal his commitment.
