Prince William of Wales' marriage must be approved by the sovereign -- his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II -- according to the Act of Settlement (1701). He is over 25 and could get married without permission, but he would have to declare his intent to Parliament, and wait one year before marrying. He is unlikely to choose the latter.
This means the Queen will declare her Consent at a meeting of the Privy Council. The next meeting is scheduled for December 15.
