From The Telegraph-When Peter Welby decided to attend university in Egypt, some of his friends were worried that the move would spell doom for his relationship with Jen Bates, his girlfriend.
Happily, however, absence has made his heart grow even fonder and the son of Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has proposed to Bates.
“Peter got engaged to a lovely girl two days ago,” says the Archbishop. “That’s been a gradual thing.”
Since Peter moved to Alexandria to study Arabic two years ago, the country has been hit by civil unrest.
The military coup earlier this month that overthrew the democratically elected government of Mohammed Morsi, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, has heightened religious tensions.
Egypt’s minority Christian population were protected by Hosni Mubarak, the deposed leader, but some felt threatened as Morsi’s government became increasingly Islamist.
