What Will Happen to the Royals in 2014?

[free2rhyme]

Since the end of the year is quickly approaching, I thought it would be a good time to start the thread for next year.

Here are some of my predictions:

England

- Zara and Mike have a baby boy
- William and Kate announce a second pregnancy
- Peter and Autumn announce a third pregnancy
- Engagement for Beatrice and Dave
- More health problems for Prince Philip

Spain

- More health problems for Juan Carlos
- Abdication of Juan Carlos
- Continuation of legal problems for Inaki and Cristina

Greece

- Pregnancy for Tatiana and Nikolaos

Denmark

- Pregnancy for Joachim and Marie


Now that most royals are married with families, I think it is going to be a slow (or rather uneventful) year.

 

[royalistbert]

Ok Here it goes:

Britain

• Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tour Australia and New Zealand with Prince George
• Zara and Mike have a boy
• In the summer of 2014, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announce that the Duchess is pregnant for a second time.
• Prince Charles opens Parliament for the Queen for the first time

Sweden

• Crown Princess Victoria falls pregnant with her second child

That's about it.

 

[Mirabel]

At least one wedding for the BRF- probably Beatrice.
Health problems for several of the older Royals.

Zara has a boy; Madeleine has a girl.

 

[Stefanie]

LUXEMBURG:

Baby girl for Guillaume and Stephanie

BELGIUM:

Engagement for Prince Amedeo

SWEDEN:

A boy for Victoria
Wedding C-P and Sofia

GREAT BRITAIN:
No more children for Peter and Autumn
A boy for Zara
Daughter for W and Kate towards the end of the year
No engagement for Bea and Dave
Engagement for Harry and Cressida

MONACO:
A daughter for Albert and Charlene
Separation for Charlotte and Gad AND!: Andrea and Tatiana

THE NETHERLANDS:
Fourth daughter for W-A and Maxima

GERMANY/DENMARK
Second son for Nathalie Berleburg-Johannsmann
No more children for Joachim and Marie

 

[Skippyboo]

Kate delivering baby #2 seems unlike with the tour to Aus and NZ which seems to be in April based on the twitters of various royal correspondents. Since she got so sick with George, they probably won't try until afterwards.

 

[TLLK]

Health issues continue for Juan Carlos and Prince Phillip
Pregnancy announcements for CP Victoria, HGD Stephanie and Princess Charlene.
Abdication from Juan Carlos due to health concerns.
Investiture for Felipe as the new King of Spain
Princess Beatrice announces an engagement.

 

[Mariel]

My crystal is empty. However, reason tells me that Victoria will choose to have another child because she is over 35. Kate will definitely wait to get pregnant if she is going on an Australian tour. No tour if she gets sick again.
Harry will marry because everyone is anxious for him to drop the playboy image. It will
be a lovely wedding with LOTS of fun occasions.

Victoria is 36

 

[ladongas]

Prince Harry will fall in love with and become engaged to a girl introduced to him by Prince William--Taylor Swift.

 

[TLLK]

Prince Harry will fall in love with and become engaged to a girl introduced to him by Prince William--Taylor Swift.

And if it doesn't work out expect another #1 hit for Taylor.

[Moonmaiden23]

ALL of the above in ONE YEAR??!

 

[principessa]

ALL of the above in ONE YEAR??!

Why not. This would be a wonderful royal year!

 

[Daria_S]

Prince Harry will fall in love with and become engaged to a girl introduced to him by Prince William--Taylor Swift.

And if it doesn't work out expect another #1 hit for Taylor.

This is extremely amusing .

 

[PRINCEDEMONTREAL]

probably another damn commoner, an acrtress or some adventuress from the USA.

 

[Marquess Middleton]

The remarriage of the Yorks?

 

[Moonmaiden23]

probably another damn commoner, an acrtress or some adventuress from the USA.

They don't have any commoners, actresses, or "adventuresses" in Canada, I suppose?

 

[MARG]

Can't see Harry meeting (probably another damn commoner, an acrtress or some adventuress from the USA/Canada, et al), falling in love and getting engaged, all in one year. Bit of a rush don't you know . . .

 

[wyevale]

Harry will marry because everyone is anxious for him to drop the playboy image.

I do hope that is not the reason {IF} he does marry ! It is about the worst reason i can think of, and his fathers unfortunate example should act as a warning to him...

 

[muriel]

The remarriage of the Yorks?

I hope not!

 

[nascarlucy]

Every year there will be royal marriages and births of royal children.

 

[hkittybaby]

The remarriage of the Yorks?

Oh my God!!!!

 

[Moonmaiden23]

The remarriage of the Yorks?

I'd love to see that happen. Their wedding is my favorite BRF wedding. But in order for a remarriage to happen the DoE would have to pass on....which I definitely DON'T want. So, no remarriage next year.

I also agree with the poster who does not want Harry to wed mostly because he is under pressure to drop the playboy image. I think-I hope-that Harry is too smart for that.

 

[Hans-Rickard]

Madeleine and Chris will get their 1:st child.

Victoria and Daniel will get a 2:nd child by the end of 2014 or in the beginning of 2015.
