I'm hoping for more engagements, tours and patronages.
And next year is going to be focused on a lot with Catherine's early years.

Kate Middleton and Prince William expected to make 'big announcement' over Christmas

THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE are expected to make a “big announcement” over the next week, after a briefing by Kensington Palace confirmed there would be a festive surprise from the couple.

What do you think the announcement is about? I think they may be taking on more royal duties.

A "Festive Surprise" doesn't sound like a change in some governance or royal duties.

It sounds party-like

I think it has something to do with the great success of Will and Kate's programs with Mary Berry.

HRH Elizabeth's father had three siblings.
HRH Charles has three siblings.
HRH George, HRH Charlotte (Future Princess Royal,) HRH Louis, and HRH 2020???

JMHO

Lovely photos from over the years. I so wish Princess Diana was still here I’m she would have spoilt her Grandchildren rotten and been great fun with them at Christmas.

I think it might be more charitable work and/or royal tours. It will be interesting to find out. They really both have had a great year from a reputation and public relations perspective which is a major contrast to other royals. I think they are really popular now more than ever with the public.

Not the least bit chubby

Now Eugenie- that's a different story. She looks like she's "gained some weight" and is glowing.

I wonder if Catherine is going to take over The Queen's charities and visits.

That would allow Her Majesty The Queen to have a break from all the traveling and allow the public to get more access to the popular Catherine

This fits the situation much better -- since we would unfortunately expect our DofC to need medical help for her serious morning sickness if indeed #4 was on the way.

Princess Eugenie, though, might be time for she & Jack to take that step! Which would NOT be announced on her sister's wedding day unless her sister asks for that!

Very well, who knows, maybe the coot planned this event to just get out of the whole mess at Sandringham. I don't blame him a bit. He can hang out with young nurses. Probably much more his cup of tea.

Prince Philip would rather 'spend Christmas alone' than with Royal Family - expert claims​

While the Palace has yet to confirm when and if the Duke will be returning to Norfolk, ITV News royal editor Chris Ship said sources appeared to jokingly suggest Philip would prefer to spend some time "alone" in hospital then face the excitement of bringing a large group of Royal Family members together for the holidays.

Speaking to 7 News, Mr Ship said: "Some people have suggested to me the Duke of Edinburgh would quite like Christmas on his own in hospital rather than with the family.

"However, I think if they can get him back to Sandringham for the Christmas period, then I think they would do that."

I did wonder if the Duchess of York is planning on going to Sandringham.

Prince Harry, Meghan, and Archie, we’re all wishing you a quiet and blessed stay in Canada. You’re among friends, and *always welcome here*

Don't tempt me...

Hahahaha

Umm, she’s not been invited for a while.

Didn’t Prince Philip ban her?

Her Majesty The Queen looks very nice in that green ensemble. It looks quite cold there.

Sophie is wearing some interesting trousers!
