Royal Wedding Watch: When Will Prince William & Kate Middleton Get Engaged?

Oct 27, 2010 @ 1:36 pm

Speculation is heating up that Prince William and Kate Middleton are nearing an engagement and now royal watchers are even giving a date for when Wills will pop the question. Royal expert Ingrid Seward told People to expect a proposal in February 2011—after the holidays and with enough time for William to ask permission from his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

The normally publicity-shy pair were spotted smiling for photographers as they left a church after their mutual friends’ wedding in Gloucestershire, England over the weekend. As they do not typically arrive or leave events together, buzz about an impending engagement began immediately. To the delight of those impatient for a royal wedding, Seward predicts the engagement will be a short one.

Fashionistas have already started the guessing game as to which lucky designer will get tapped to design Kate Middleton’s wedding dress. Prince William’s mother Princess Diana opted for then relatively unknown designing duo David and Elizabeth Emanuel for her iconic wedding dress in 1981. A likely choice is Bruce Oldfield, who designed wedding dresses for fellow royal Queen Rania of Jordan, the always-stylish current first lady of Britain, Samantha Cameron, and British socialite Jemima Khan.

Kate Middleton’s current style is already receiving praise for its princess worthiness. (Check out her spot-on princess-style here!) Her tailored, well-accessorized and often colorful wardrobe has been compared to outfits worn by Princess Diana, the royal family of Monaco and other royal women. It’s hard to imagine there could be a better choice than the polished Kate Middleton to be Prince William’s bride!

YES, KATE IS LOVELY, AND SHES KNOWN PRINCE WILL FOR 9 YEARS. I WISH FOR THEM ALL THE HAPPINESS.
BUT PLEASE HONEYMOON IN SCOTLAND, ITS SAFER. AND AT LEAST THIS WOMAN HAS THE CLASS TO BE QUEEN.

A short engagement and then a long marriage. Plenty of children and private times is what I wish for them. I think they have been very smart to keep the world guessing. This will be the only time of their lives they will be alone.

This might be good news but not for william. I believe that he is marrying a commoner and a woman who is not from a nobile family. Kate is not a bad person, but who ever prince harry marrys will be truly classy and a lady he deserves to be the next king not william. Prince william is refusing to do his duty and marry someone like his mother and grandmother. Miss Kate Middleton will destroy the monarch OR Help Prince hennry to become the next king without even knowing it. Although she does not care she is much more than a social climber. AS LONG AS WILLIAM marrys her she cares nothing about the monarch and she is lazy she will never do her job as princess…..If this happens and he marrys her she will divorce him and the Queen will hate her. I have inside information that kate middilton can not get pregnant, I hope she does give him a child but my source says that will never happen. I wish them happeness and hope im wrong. She and william have been together for a while and make a handsome couple.

Misty, you’re a nutter. I’m super excited for them to get engaged and married. They’re so cute together, and they look happy. I’m sure Prince William’s mother would have approved of Kate Middleton, or he wouldn’t be with her. My husband is English, so we spend a great deal of time in the U.K., and I hope I’m lucky to be there when it all happens.
