Next Royal Wedding 2003-2008

Which royal couple is the next one to announce their engagement?

There aren´t many possibilities anymore. I can remember that a few years ago a lot of people were surprised that so many crown princes were still bachelors...but in the last 4 years this has changed rapidly...

Let me think...all children of reigning monarchs are married, except:
-prince charles (but he was married, who knows if he will ever marry again)
-cp Victoria (even if she will marry Daniel Westling...I cant´believe that she will marry before 2005. There are already 2 crown princely weddings in 2004)
-prince Carl Philip (I think he will finish his studies before)
-princess Madeleine

children of princes/grand dukes as possible candidates
-prince Guillaume or his brother Felix (but they are too young)
-prince Albert (more than overdue)

grandchildren of a monarch, who are already grown up
-prince William (I think he and his brother won´t marry before 30)
-prince Harry

children of ex-monarchs
-prince Nicholaos

All other houses have managed it to marry all their children off.

So my personal guess is: prince Albert is the next one, then prince Nicholaos and then prince Carl Philip.

Prince albert next? Finally!!!

Who do you expect to be the lucky one??

Lena · #4 11-02-2003, 04:19 PM

Yes, I know my ranking is very keen...so probably a 1:1000 chance that I´m right. But I can´t believe that prince Albert is now looking at his european colleagues and at his nephews and nieces and can´t hear a huge clock ticking

I don´t remember that a relationship between Albert and any woman lasted really long, so probably a possible princess-to-be wouldn´t be his girlfriend since a long time (a prince-Felipe-case

).
But looking at his strange contacts with women let me really assume that he´s gay. But if we look at prince Edward...he becomes in a few days a daddy....

Or he got scared off women ?
Or, all the ones up to now have been ... how did some-one put it here earlier ... gold-diggers ?

Or, there are going to be three crown princely weddings next year between the beginning of May and the end of June. Yeah, sure.

NOOO, they can´t do this, I don´t know how I should plan all my jobs, classes, practicals around all these weddings. I want to watch them ALL live on TV. And I´m really upset that the wedding of Mary D. and cp Frederik is on a friday (why friday? all BIG Royal weddings were on Saturday)

Any idea who the next engagement will be? For some reason I think it is going to Prince Carl Phillip of Sweden.

Lena · #8 04-23-2004, 07:50 PM

Hm, prince Carl-Philip is still a bit young...his parents (and friends) probably ask him to wait until he has finished his education or until he´s more "mature"...and to me he doesn´t seem, as if he would be a rebel...
My guess is (though I really feel naive writing it

) prince Albert...he will surprise us all (like Felipe did)

At this rate, I'm guessing one of the Jordanian Royals. Who's still single there? :)

carlota · #11 04-24-2004, 04:38 AM

i would love to see zara being the next...
but maybe victoria of sweeden or madelaine will be the next royal brides

I'm going to go with Prince Nikolaos of Greece B)

Alisa, I'm with you on Prince Nikolaos of Greece. It seems about time that he got hitched.

Lalla Meriem · #14 04-25-2004, 01:53 AM

Well, Jordan has a ton of royals. They don't have a limit on the number of generations that the title is passed like in other countries. All you have to be is a male line decendant of a King of Jordan or Iraq.

The only Princes of age to marry are Prince Hashim Al-Hussein and Prince Rachid El-Hassan. Princess Noor Hamzah's brother is still too young by just a few years. Prince Faisal and King Abduallah's sons are way to young. There is also HH Prince Hussein Mirza who is the son of Princess Alia Al-Hussein and Nasser Mirza who was made a prince by King Hussein. There are still a quite a few of their beautiful Princesses left, though.

I think our dear Albert is the next.

H.M. Margrethe · #16 04-25-2004, 04:55 AM

What about prince Gustav of Berleburg then ?

Is he currently dating anyone? We hardly ever hear anything about Princess Benedikte's children as they are relatively private individuals. I hope the broken engagement to Eve (?) de Rochefort didn't sour Gustav on further relationships.

A wonderful suggestion none the less, H.M. Margrethe. Some happiness again for the Berleburg family after Richard's cancer treatment and recovery would be wonderful news.
