In my previous post, I laid out a few scenarios of the timeline for an engagement and wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Prince William and Kate Middleton at the RAF ‘wings’ ceremony in April 2008.
Clarence House won’t be telling us the most likely one, but we can put it to vote amongst ourselves. So, which do you think is the most probably scenario?
- An engagement announcement this year and the wedding immediately after Prince William’s training with the RAF, or in approximately 18 months (mid-2010).
- An engagement announcement this year, and the wedding after Prince William’s RAF tour of duty, or in about 4 years (2013).
- An engagement announcement fairly soon, and the wedding while Prince William is in service at the RAF, or in 2-3 years (2011-2012).
- An engagement announcement during Prince William’s service, and the wedding immediately after (2013).
- An engagement after Prince William finishes his tour and a wedding in 2014 or later.
- Never.
You’ll get your chance to vote below and in the sidebar. But before that, here are the results of the previous poll. The question was “Which look do you prefer on Prince William?”. Of the 61 votes since the end of December 2008, 22 votes (36%) were for Prince William with a beard, and 39 votes (64%) were for the clean-shaven look. Looks like the majority of you got your wish!

i think kate is pregnant becoz both shared bed so ask her to marry immediately otherwise he will be bald totalle or else some other girl willpick him so avoid pickups and drops
The relationship between Kate and William is both a dull and interesting subject. I hope they both find their true love. Though they have lasted a long time, that is exactly why I believe they are not meant to be. If they were, their love would surpass any doubt, and they would get married. That’s just how true love works. ( Especially after all these years.)
May God bless them, and my best wishes go out to them.
Vermaelen, I hope Kate comes along to answer your questions.
Kate, how would you make life better for all people? What have you done so far on your own? What has William done thisfar? I don’t see a second Diana in you. You look pretty but why do you want to marrie him? Why not your ex-boyfriend who looks like William?You really know me so speak the truth in the press. What are you going to do ones you may be not be marrying him? The woman who always tells the truth if you ask me to, vera vermaelen
Very well said, Lili.
Virginia, that is definitely a factor that they face more than other people their age.
it’s not a good idea for kate and william
to wait too long. kate is now 27. while love is the
the most important reason to marry, let’s
remember that kate is expected to produce
an heir. the older the lady, the harder it is
to concieve. one only has to look at the young
japanese royal couple. it was very hard for
princess mikako to get pregnant even after
many invitro procedures. i hope these
two realize this and don’t wait until having
a child becomes an ‘issue’. i wish the best for
both of them, a long happy marriage
surrounded by much loved children. they
were both raised lovingly by their parents and
will pass that on to their little heirs.
None of the above. Once an announcement occurs, this couple will not be officially engaged for 2-4 years, since too much could go wrong during such a long engagement. The Palace would prefer to make an announcement and arrange a wedding within months, as it has always done.
I was not a Diana fan, and since Prince William is hardly “mysterious or exciting” himself, he doesn’t need a woman as difficult, mercurial, and unstable as she was. He needs someone steady and discreet, an age peer who knows him extremely well (Diana and Charles barely knew other), someone able to be supportive of his royal role and status. Middleton may not be a high-powered career woman, but such a woman probably wouldn’t fit into the royal family any better than Diana did. I know it’s not “exciting,” but in a wife William really needs someone a bit on the boring side. This is a marriage we’re talking about, not a novel or a television show, and it’s a marriage that will involve many pressures.
By the way, I object to characterizing Middleton as a machiavellian social climber who has William “trapped.” William doesn’t need to remain in the relationship if he doesn’t wish to, and Middleton isn’t a succubus or a witch weaving powerful spells. None of us knows her, but she obviously has something he wants, which may be simply be uncomplicated love and understanding. I repeat, this isn’t a novel or a television show, though I realize many people like to see it that way.
Hi DaisyBee, no, I don’t think you’re a jealous young woman, at all. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
Kate will, unfortunately, always be compared with Diana. My hope is that Prince William will see and value her for herself. And if, in the end, they are not to be, I wish the same for the woman whom Prince William will eventually marry.
These two have been living like a married couple for so long now—-who cares if they ever get married. Kate is a little attractive, a little dull and very determined. She will wait around until 2015 if she has to.
The press keep trying to glamorize her and make try to sell us the image of a future “wonderful, smiling, adored princess”. Reality check! She’s a focused climber with a smirk who has a Golden Boy entrapped in a clever snare.
There is nothing mysterious or exciting about this relationship. It will continue on and on until the Prince feels he has to tie the knot (around his neck, I think) or, until he has the self-confidence and courage to wave bye-bye and look for a young woman who has at least something of the grace, verve and charm that sparkled in his mother’s smile. Lest you think I am some jealous young woman, I am old enough to be his grandmother and would just like him to consider making a better choice.
