Well maybe it's the photos of William and Kate at the theatre that were released this morning but I hope not I hope it's a surprise engagement or something.

I hope it's the announcement about Will's future with the RAF. It was supposed to be made in the first two weeks of January according to Richard Palmer.

Telling someone about a surprise engagement no longer makes it a surprise though? And as we don't know it's an engagement announcement, which seems silly to announce an engagement like it's something special, it's just a surprise.

The tweet was about Catherine, not Catherine and William and an RAF announcement would be for both their lives. I expect it's a portrait.

Oh, I hope so! That would be nice too, especially if it's a formal one.

I somewhat find this article strange. If anything, Kate's "silence" as far as being a role model is a good example of discretion and diplomacy. She's openly said things when the situation called for it, but she's not to just blurt out anything just because she can and the world is watching her. Maybe its just me but I think there's too many fools out there (both men and women) that are all too eager to spew forth whatever they have on their mind without thinking and end up issuing apologies later and end up looking worse than when they started out.

Ahhh... now I got it. The press would be so much happier if Kate would say things off the wall that they could badly interpret and sell more papers.

Did I miss an event or something?

[Trillian]

What's the old saying? "Better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and confirm it"?

You did not, that was the portrait unveiling with William but we didn't know William was attending until they arrived.

Someone needs to tell the Duchess that if she goes, or sends someone to Costco (or the British equivalent) to pickup a case of those cheese crackers and keep them on hand. Much cheaper than petro stations. I do like the idea that she gets out and buys them herself.

^^^Absolutely, she needs to stockpile munchies in the back seat!

I think she's getting over her pregnancy sickness

Somehow I do not think the D/DoC are having any financial woes - or maybe I am assuming too much.

Royal sources expect the Duchess of Cambridge to resume royal duties in February, probably towards the end of the month.

Oh, good! I miss seeing her, and soon she'll have that cute little belly.

Sorry but you have no idea when we'll see her out and about nor if they'll even bother to announce engagements. A tweet said we might see her towards the end of February.
