A lot of the ladies you mention are 40+ and a lot of them are done with having babies!

[RoyalHighness 2002]

Don't a service of thanksgiving and big/ small party to mark Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's wedding anniversary.

[HereditaryPrincess]

I'll have a shot at this, last time I found it quite hard!



Britain

Zara and Mike Tindall will welcome a girl named Poppy Alexandra, a little sister for Mia Grace, in the spring.

Princess Charlotte will celebrate her second birthday in May with a photoshoot.

Savannah and Isla Phillips as well as Mia Tindall will appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the first time at Trooping the Colour.

Prince George will start his first day at school in September, most likely in London (I like the sound of Garden House School in Chelsea for him - Viscount Linley's daughter Margarita went there, so the school already has experience with royal [granted, Margarita isn't quite as significant in the terms of succession as George is] pupils).

Prince George will attend his first Christmas church service at Sandringham.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank will announce their engagement in mid - late 2017, followed by a wedding in 2018.

We will finally see a photo of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle together (at any time of the year!)



Spain

Princess Leonor will attend her first Princess of Asturias event.

Infanta Sofia will celebrate her tenth birthday in April with a photoshoot.

Princess Leonor will start secondary school (if I've got the Spanish school ages correct! I read that secondary school starts at 12 but Leonor will be 12 in October, and IIRC her school starts in September?) in September with a photoshoot.



Sweden

I can't think of anything for Sweden right now.



Norway

Nothing for Norway either at the moment!



Luxembourg

HGD Guillaume and HGD Stephanie will announce a pregnancy in mid 2017, following a birth in 2018.



Belgium

Nothing for Belgium at the moment.



Monaco

Beatrice Borromeo and Pierre Casiraghi will welcome a boy in January.



Denmark

Princess Isabella celebrates her tenth birthday with a photoshoot.

Queen Margrethe will have a photoshoot with all her grandchildren for Christmas (I hope!)



The Netherlands

Nothing for the Netherlands either, at the moment.

[Koningin]

[Countessmeout]

Sweden
-second pregnancy announced for Sofia by late summer. Possibly third for Madeleine though towards end of year as they have said will wait longer. I think considering her age and distance in other pregnancies, Oscar is the last for Victoria and Daniel.

-Kate and will move to London finally as George starts school in fall
-Harry continues his work with veterans and pictures come out with Meghan
-engagement near end of year for Eugenie

Lux
-Stephanie and guillaume finally announce first pregnancy. Baby girl due end of the year or early 2018
-don't see a third child for Tessy. Since their youngest is nine, I don't see them adding. I think Claire and Felix will likely wait another year

Monaco
-Beatrice and piere welcome daughter Marta Caroline Paola
-possible engagement and or baby news for Charlotte

Belgium
-Laurent will continue to cause issues and his stipend will be removed or lessened
-Elisabeth will be seen at a few more events

That would be scandalous, even by Monaco's standards.


Btw, shouldn't this thread be in the Chit Chat sub forum, instead of the Archive Discussion sub forum? Maybe one of the mods will move it.

Whoops! How embarrassing. Thank you for pointing out this obvious typo. It should clearly read Pierre! It has been changed now, I'm surprised I didn't spot it earlier - but to be fair, it was a late night post and I was probably getting tired, haha.

How do you define prominent? Monarch, Consort, and Heir Apparent?

[Gretijean]

My predictions:

UK:

Mike and Zara have a boy
Eugenie gets engaged and married.
William and Catherine will have announce a pregnancy.
Harry will continue his relationship with Meghan M. If they are still together by November, they will get engaged.

Greece:
Prince Nickolaos and Princess Tatiana will adopt a child

Luxembourg:
Guilliame and Stephanie will announce a pregnancy and give birth.

Greece or Luxembourg will have a royal wedding

Sweden:
Sofia will have a baby girl
Madeleine will have another baby boy.

Bhutan's royal couple will have another baby.

Not wishing bad luck or harm...
There will be a prominent royal that will pass, there will also be a prominent consort that will pass as well.

There will be 2 royal divorces next year.

Numerous people already have. Read away and perhaps share your own.

[Lee-Z]

Okay i'll play

NL
no major differences from this year

Belgium
P.Laurent will be either cut from dotation or gets back in line with his royal duties
K.Albert/Delphine Boël situation will be settled in one way or other

UK
Engagement for P.Eugenie
More royal duties for Duke/Duchess of Cambridge

Spain
Difficult time for monarchy in general but K.Felipe and Q.Letizia will manage to keep the confidence of the people

Sweden
Loads of young family happiness (with many pics) but no new pregnancy in 2017

Norway
For some reason i feel that something big will happen, but don't know what...maybe abdication or major increase in duties of P.Haakon or rumours about P.Mette-Marit which turn out untrue but cause trouble nonetheless

Denmark
New family portrait, even more non-traditional than the last

Monaco
P.Charlene continues to be more and more prominent, but P.Caroline will be seen less

Japan
More moves towards the idea of abdication but no abdication just yet
