Prince William, Kate Middleton to announce engagement in June?
April 7th, 2010 - 5:44 pm ICT by ANI
London, April 7 (ANI): Rumours are abuzz that Prince William and Kate Middleton will announce their engagement in early June.
The speculation is based on a gap in the Buckingham Palace diary.
A blog entry by Tina Brown, the well-connected biographer of the Princess of Wales, says that June 3 and 4 have been “mysteriously blocked out on the palace diaries” and could be a likely date for the pair’s marriage.
It is believed that Prince, 27, and Middleton, 28, could finally marry in November.
Brown, a friend of the Prince’s late mother, said that a ‘high-placed source in royal circles’ had suggested the dates had been blocked for the announcement.
“If so, a wedding itself would probably follow in November, like the wedding of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, who married at Westminster Abbey that cold, damp November day in 1947,” the Telegraph quoted her as stating.
“The Queen and Prince Philip, moreover, are approaching two landmark moments: Philip will be 90 in June 2011, and the queen celebrates her diamond jubilee - 60 years on the throne - in February 2012.
“Their closeness to their grandson, especially Philip, makes them eager, I am told, to see William settled in matrimony,” Brown added. (ANI)
