Nope, they may possible release a few pictures. But I don't think Peter and Autumn did.

Success of a long term marriage and a happy life...

Success of a long term marriage and a happy life...

And if you marry a commoner you have more chance of a long term marriage?
There have been plenty of royal to non-commoner marraiges that have worked out perfectly. There have also been royal to commoner marraiges that have worked out.
They may marry for love, but the royals are loosing their spark.

This is not the announcement from the Princess Royal I was expecting to see at the Main Page this morning...LOL!!

What wonderful lovely news. Congratulations to them both!!

Congrats to the happy couple!

 

[Lady Marmalade]

Congratulations to both of them!!! And they probably waited as royal protocol dictates William announces first.

Sorry I let you down, .

First of all, congratulations to Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall, I am not at all familiar with them and don't know them at all - but it's a special announcement. Now,

And if you marry a commoner you have more chance of a long term marriage?
There have been plenty of royal to non-commoner marraiges that have worked out perfectly. There have also been royal to commoner marraiges that have worked out.
They may marry for love, but the royals are loosing their spark.

According to me, the poster made what she meant pretty clear in her first post: she thinks that a marriage has a much better chance of being succesful when you marry for love instead of letting your spouse's peerage have the upper hand.

Your post comes across to me as if you think she's talking nonsense. Just my opinion, of course.

Why do you think that the royals are losing their spark?

 

[Skippy]

Why would Zara and Mike need to wait to announce an engagement?

This might be the answer (don't know if it's accurate though):

Congratulations to both of them!!! And they probably waited as royal protocol dictates William announces first.

 

[MissP]

Aw. Lovely news. They come across as such a warm, fun, well-suited couple. I'm sure they'll have many years of happiness together.

 

[NoorMeansLight]

Wonderful news! Congratulations to the happy couple!!!

 

[glassary]

Fabulous news, congratulations to Zara and Mike.
Believe they have been together for a long time (not sure how long) so
this looks good for them for the future.
May they have a long and happy life together.

Wonderful news! Given Z's fashion sense wonder what the dress will look like!

 

[Lumutqueen]

Beautiful pictures, and I like the ring.

That is a gorgeous ring! Really one of the most beautiful I've ever seen

 

[CrownPrincess5]

Congratulations to them!
It's so weird how when one couple gets engaged in the family there's a chain reaction of engagements. I think it would be nice for everyone to be engaged at separate times though not so closely together.

 

[Tiggersk8]

Love the ring and they both look so very happy. Congratulations once again to them!!

I just started a jewellery thread for Zara, because I thought with that ring she really deserves her own jewellery thread. http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/f20/zara-philips-jewellery-29602.html#post1179060
And yes, I admit it freely: I am a envious. That ring is great.

 

[roseroyal]

Love the ring!

 

[dbarn67]

Wonderful so happy congrats to them yay another royal wedding to look forward to!

 

[jemagre]

The ring is lovely.

Agreed. Glad it is something new. Wonder if she had any input in the selection of the ring. It also looks sturdy enough for her to wear while riding her horses if she chose to do so.

I believe they also posed for photographers outside their house rather than at a palace. The engagements pictures looked very fitting for their personalities. ( low-key and sporty)

I am personally more excited to see what she will wear to her wedding than Kate just because her fashion choice are far more interesting.
