I think so. Wasn't there a picture posted a couple of days ago showing the Wessexes in the Balmoral tartan kilts, posing with the Queen and Prince Philip?

Oh, OK, then I guess that doesn't help for this year.

Really, you'd think these people would let us know where they were going to be so we'd know what to talk about. Most inconsiderate of them...

There is still hope that she is pregnant and they are just delaying to give Sophie the chance to see how the pregnancy progresses in my opinion. Someone in the previous thread said they wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't announced until after the Balmoral retreat ends in October.

No he does not. He had to quit his production company and become a full time working member of the Firm.

I did not know she wasn't staying the full course. Perhaps by September, we might have some more evidence or an announcement.
