Feb. 16, 2011— -- The world finally heard the sound of Kate Middleton's voice the day she and Prince William announced their engagement. But when she spoke, did you think, "Why does she talk like that?"

Turns out, her accent may be blending a bit with her future husband's. This week's edition of "Wedding Royale" has Will and Kate saying good riddance to posh talking.

So, could it be that the future king's speech might override the queen's English? Watch now!
