[Lady Chiara]

My favourite topic every year!! Let's see:

-Emmanuel: maybe a brief stint in the military and then university, I don't see him as having a fully fledged military career like Gabriel
-A baby for Maria Laura
-An engagement for Luisa Maria
-A new lady for Joachim
-I also think we may have some news about a SO of Elisabeth or Gabriel
-Some resolution for Delphine
Denmark
-Nothing much, more duties for Fred and Mary and military education for Christian
Liechtenstein
-Even more duties for Alois, especially in the wake of his brother's tragic death
-I think we may start seeing some noble/Royal engagement for the new generation, maybe Marie Caroline
Luxembourg
-A baby girl for Claire and Felix
-Pregnancy for Alexandra
-Relationships for Louis and Sebastien, the younger I could see with a royal or noble lady
Monaco
-I think Caroline is done with grandchildren from the Casiraghi children
-Engagement for Jazmin and Ian (I predict it every single year, maybe now it's time)
-Some more Alexandre controversy
-Engagement for Pauline
Netherlands
-Nothing much, we will see more of Amalia and have some news about Alexia's education
Norway
-Wedding for ML and Derek, it's a flashy event
-Military training for IA
-I'm quite sure Maud will stay in Norway, unsure on Leah and Emma

-Nothing, no more grandchildren for King and Queen
Spain
-Nothing much, we see more of Leonor at military and civil engagements
-Cristina is officially divorced
UK
-Second child for Bea and Edo, a baby girl
-Engagement for Peter and Lindsay
-Sussexes finally find their groove in the US and we have a controversy free year on their front (this is more a hope)
-Someone sits the Waleses down and said to them that they need to increase their workload and do more public engagements (I love them but their numbers are quite meh, they need to do more)
-Also some engagements or babies among the ranks of minor Royal descendants
Jordan
-Royal babies! From both Iman and Rajwa
Others
-Baby for Natacha and Alexander
-New partners for Olympia and Tino
-Baby for Philippos and Nina
-At this point I'm not sure Theodora and Matthew will ever marry

I also think there are going to be sad news concerning the health of some of the older royals but I don't want to say anything specific

 

[Iza Borowiec]

UK:

Beatrice announces another pregnancy.

Big Commonwealth tour for King and Queen.

Haakon will become regent for longer period of time as king's health deteriorates.

Sad news probably (Harald or Astrid).

Note. I do not predict that someone will die, as i find that very disrespectful

Note. I do not predict that someone will die, as i find that very disrespectful

I know it's disrespectful predict the death of someone else, but are the laws of life. One die to one born. Unfortunately a lot of royals and nobles will die in 2024

 

[Hans-Rickard]

I know it's disrespectful predict the death of someone else, but are the laws of life. One die to one born. Unfortunately a lot of royals and nobles will die in 2024

It is definitely the circle of life that none
of us will escape in the end - but nonetheless death is something lifechanging, and for many people something very difficult and traumatizing…

We will no doubt loose some of the older generation in 2024 like we have done this year, and unfortunately also a few not so old people…. That’s life…. My thought was just that predicting that King E, Queen B and Princess G will pass away is disrespectful towards their families that will be left behind… Nothing more - nothing less

2. Work begins to allow female-members to head their own branches, and remain in the Imperial Family after marriage… But still no decision taken on female sucession to the throne.

Jordan
1. Possible pregnancy for the Crown Princely couple.

Titular House of Greece -
1. Queen Anne-Marie spends more time in Denmark with her sisters. But she continues to reside in Athens.
2. Possible pregnancy for Philippos and Nina.
3. Tino Jr and Olympia continues to create headlines in the gossip media…
4. Pavlos and M-C buys a house in the upper class part of Athens, to spend more time in Greece (but won’t move there permanently)
5. Prince Michael continues to be the treasure that he already is, by telling his family history like noone else.

I will start the topic for the real predictions for 2024.

U
Netherlands:
State visit from the Netherlands to Spain.
Princess Catharina Amalia takes on more official acts and her security problems begin to be resolved.

If there is a state visit from the Netherlands to Spain, I predict the Princess of Asturias will attend the state dinner and make her tiara debut, probably wearing her grandmother's Prussian Tiara.

 

[W.Y.CII]

- State visit: Spain to the Netherlands/Belgium, Belgium/Japan to UK, Belgium to Norway
- Joint engagement between Elisabeth and C-A, IA and Christian respectively
- Baby: Boy for Claire and girl for Alexandra in Luxembourg
- Pregnancy: Beatrice with no.2 (girl), Stephanie with no. 3 (girl), both announce it at the end of the year
- Some scandals pops up in the Netherlands and Denmark
- Jewelry: Mary purchases another new (all diamond) tiara and Sofia got another new set of gemstone for her wedding tiara (spinel? zircon? garnet?)

I don't make Predictions at the end of 2023.
The lack of respect towards King Charles III , Queen Letitzia , Crown Prince Frederic by books and press pictures make me feeling sad.
A Shaman becoming the Son in law and Brother in law of the King of Norway , No !

[*]Gabriel starts military training

Gabriel is currently in his second year at the Royal Military Academy. It's his younger brother Emmanuel who will finish high school in 2024 and might start military training
