Prince William and his bride Kate Middleton, whose wedding is scheduled for April 29, 2011, were a truly royal gift: their names are assigned to the star. Corresponding entry made in the International Registry of stars – a private commercial organization, founded in 1979 in Toronto and based in Englewood (USA, Illinois). The author of this gift wished to keep his name secret.

Certificate of assigning one of the stars names of Prince William and Kate Middleton kept in a vault of the International Registry in Switzerland. Names are assigned to a celestial body prior to the expiration of its existence, that is, perhaps billions of years.

In addition to naming space objects, the organization produces jewelry, plush toys and collars for pets with commemorative inscriptions. The International Registry recognizes that its activities are not related to astronomy, therefore, assigned to the celestial bodies, names, or names are not official. Data powers vested with the International Astronomical Union (IAU), which was founded in Brussels in July 1919 and brings together the astronomical community around the world. The composition of the MAC includes 64 member countries represented by national academies or other non-governmental agencies, and more than 10,000 individual members. The Soviet Union joined the organization in 1935, ITAR-TASS.
