[Lori138]

I like all of these predictions. Let's see how many come true.

 

[Friedrich Karl II]

Duke and duchess of Sussex announce expecting their first child. Born either end of 2019 or early 2020. And Meghan's family continue their things.


I try think more later.


And someone has already mentioned Margarethe of Denmark abdicating but I don't see that happening. She has announced being queen rest of her life.

 

[Biri]

Now we know we don't have to wait for 2019 for Duchess of Sussex's pregnancy.

 

[Friedrich Karl II]

Now we know we don't have to wait for 2019 for Duchess of Sussex's pregnancy.

Perhaps we then heard about Eugenie's pregnancy then.

 

[AmaliaCharlotte]

Here are my predictions:

UK:
A girl for Harry and Meghan (born around late March-mid April 2019)
Pregnancy announcement for Eugenie and Jack
Possible fourth pregnancy for William and Kate.

Sweden:
Another pregnancy for Carl Philip and Sofia (boy born in late 2019 or early 2020)
Another pregnancy for Madeleine and Chris (boy born in 2020).

Luxembourg:
Another pregnancy for Claire and Felix (girl born in mid 2019)
Engagement announcement for Alexandra
Not really sure about other siblings.

Belgium:
Another pregnancy for Amadeo and Elisabetta (girl born in mid 2019).

 

[Somebody]

Perhaps we then heard about Eugenie's pregnancy then.

She sure was beaming when the archbishop was at the 'children part' of the prayer at their wedding. So, you never know how long it might take but it seems that they are hoping for children to join their family unit.

 

[Blog Real]

Here are my predictions:

UK:
Pregnancy Announcement for Eugenie and Jack
A boy for Harry and Meghan
Increasingly official acts for William and Kate

[Saz83]

UK
Birth of Harry and Meghan's baby
Pregnancy announcement for Eugenie maybe near end of the year.
Would be nice to see a new relationship for Beatrice
I think William and Kate may try to emulate the Queen and so think there may be an announcement of fourth baby next year.

 

[Biri]

Princess Theodora's Engagement Announcement

Now we know we don't have to wait for 2019 for this happy event.
I am also sure we hear about the pregnancy soon after wedding; Theodora is 35 and a half already.?
Same for Lady Gabriella Windsor, who probably will have turned 38 at the moment of her wedding

Princess Hisako finds her daughter Princess Tsuguko a husband. Possible engagement announcement in late 2019 but no wedding until 2020. Like sisters, Tsuguko will use the same team of dress designer, hairstylist, and florist and wear grandmother Princess Yuriko's robes.

[_Heather_]

British Royal Family
*A boy for the Sussexes in early to mid March.
*A serious relationship for Beatrice but no engagement until 2020.
*A fourth and last pregnancy announcement for the Cambridges in the fall with a girl to follow in the summer of 2020.
*A pregnancy announcement from Eugenie.
*A bit more public engagements from Louise, probably alongside her mother.
*A late winter pregnancy announcement from Lady Gabriella.
*I won't completely rule out a late in the year pregnancy announcement from the Tindalls because I'm not completely convinced they're done.
*I don't think we'll see any slow down in the rough press about the Sussexes and their/her relationships with the rest of the family.
*I wouldn't be surprised to see some rumblings about marital discord for either Peter/Autumn, Zara/Mike, or Harry/Meghan but I don't think there's any truth to them.
*I certainly think we'll see a 60th birthday party for Fergie and loads of speculative press surrounding the relationship between she and Andrew, who attended the party and what that means, etc.
*Definitely an increase in preparations for the future, acclimating the public to the change-over in reign, etc. in preparation for what's eventually going to come.
*I'm hoping we see the Duke of Edinburgh remain fairly healthy all year but I do think we'll continue to see and hear less and less of/from him than we already do as he fully completes his transition to retirement.

Swedish Royal Family
*A late in the year pregnancy announcement from Madeleine and Chris. Another boy in late summer 2020. I think this will be their last.
*A summer pregnancy announcement from CP and Sofia. Another boy in December 2019/January 2020. Still thinking they might go for four total.
*We'll continue to see Estelle at official engagements.
*I think we'll see lots of rumors and rough press about Madeleine and Chris and their living arrangements.
*We might see an official statement from the Court later in the year regarding the future plans of Madeleine/Chris and the children's titles, place in line, etc.

Danish Royal Family
*I think we'll see more of Christian and Isabella at official functions.
*Maybe rumors of marriage trouble with Joachim and Marie.
*No abdication but a stepping up of duties for Fred and Mary.

Dutch Royal Family
*We'll see a definite increase in exposure for Catharina Amalia at official functions and duties.
*I'm thinking we might see WA and Maxima on a very high profile tour somewhere, though I really couldn't say where, and might see CA accompany them.

 

[CyrilVladisla]

Princess Madeleine of Sweden and Christopher O'Neill will have a fourth child: perhaps a son.

 

[Iluvbertie]

I don't think Zara Tindall will have another child before 2020 as that is an Olympics year and she will still want to try to qualify for the British team if she has a horse that is good enough - so a lot of training and competing in 2019 to attempt to quality so no baby announcement until after the Olympics in 2020 for her - if she is even thinking about a third and I am not sold on that idea.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a fourth baby for Kate and William.

Eugenie and Jack I think will wait a year or two more before having a baby.

I don't see an engagement for Beatrice in 2019 - to Edo or anyone else.

 

[Friedrich Karl II]

I doubt strongly that Zara will have third child. And not sure even if Cambridges will have fourth child.


But I am pretty sure that there will be big scandal in British royal family in 2019.

 

[muriel]

Do you have any views on what the "big scandal in British royal family" might be?

Baby boy for Harry and Meghan

 

[Mbruno]

Lady Gabriella Windsor, future Mrs. Thomas Kingston
Princess Theodora of Greece, future Mrs. Matthew Kumar

It would be Lady Gabriella Kingston and Princess Theodora, Mrs Matthew Kumar using British naming conventions.

 

[Osipi]

One thing can be counted on. Even if there isn't a whisper of discord in the British royal family, there are those out there that will manufacture one with all the juicy tidbits. Get those pearls ready!!

 

[Tatiana Maria]

It would be Lady Gabriella Kingston and Princess Theodora, Mrs Matthew Kumar using British naming conventions.

It's likely that the original post was attempting to name the husbands rather than use the real names of the women; it referred to most married women, even Jordanian ones, as "Mrs. husband's name".

As far as Britain goes, the naming convention seems flexible. Among the four princesses of the United Kingdom who maintained their royal status while married and whose husbands were titleless at least at the beginning of the marriage, two used "Mrs husband's name" (Anne and Alexandra) and two did not (Margaret and Eugenie).

Belgium
Its revealed Albert is Delphine Boel's father, he and Albert leave Belgium for good

Even now there does not appear to be much if any question among the public in Belgium as to Albert being Delphine's biological father.

Japan

Apt and informed predictions!
It is probably safe to predict more political bickering between nationalists and anti-nationalists attempting to influence the abdication ceremonies in conformity with their views.

I'm hoping you are correct about Masako and a first solo event for Aiko--it certainly looks as though she is being groomed for this.

I'm a little skeptical about Hisako's success finding Tsuguko a husband, since I suspect she's been trying for quite a while. Tsuguko is obviously a hard nut to crack! But I hope you're right on this one, too.

 

[Ista]

Oh, I think this is probably the safest prediction on this thread!

 

[Friedrich Karl II]

Do you have any views on what the "big scandal in British royal family" might be?

I haven't any idea what could happen but I think that it might involve Cambridges and/or Sussexes.

 

[Lori138]

Here are my predictions:

Grand Duke George finds someone and gets engaged.
Prince Philippos of Greece gets engaged.
Guillaume and Stephanie of Luxembourg have a child, their only one.
Felix and Claire will likely have a third child.
Madeline and Chris O'Neil will have a fourth child - a boy, their last.
Carl Philip and Sofia will also have a boy, also their last.
Harry and Meghan will have a daughter and she will become pregnant again rather quickly.

 

[W.Y.CII]

Belgium
- A 18th birthday party for Elisabeth. Some foreign royals will attend.
- Even though she doesn't have a chance to wear it yet, Elisabeth receives a tiara from the Belgian nobility.
- The younger kids will have more public appearances with their parents
- Mathilde wears the Spanish gift tiara as a necklace or a brooch (can it be worn as a brooch?). She still doesn't wear it as a tiara but we can know that it now belongs to her.

Luxembourg
- In autumn Guillaume and Stephanie announces they are expecting their first child (and it is a girl).
- Tessy loses her title. But she keeps using it. Finally the GD family does something to prevent her to do so.

Monaco
- Charlene wear her tiara again. Hopefully.

the Netherlands
- Catharina-Amalia undertakes some official engagements.

Norway
- A confirmation for Ingrid Alexandra, just like her father and aunt. All her godparents are present (unlike her christening). Marius is here too. Mette-Marit wears Q Maud's diamond and Sonja wears Q Josephine's diamond for this occasion.
- Ingrid Alexandra continues doing engagements with her parents/grandparents.
- Martha Louise attends banquets again.
- Everyone (special Harald, Mette-Marit and Astrid) stays healthy.

Spain
- Leonor continues doing engagements with her parents.

Sweden
- Victoria and Daniel announces third pregnancy in summer/autumn (and is a girl).
- CP and sofia announces pregnancy in winter again (boy again).

UK
- Philip may go to hospital several times but he is still very fine.
- Cambridges announces pregnancy in winter too (and boy again).
- Sussexs have a girl. She has her grandmothers' middle names as her middle names (Frances and Loyce). Zara is one of her grandmothers.
- Anne will welcome her fifth grandkid, and it is a girl again (I love Anne's granddaughters squad ?).
- Eugenie and Jack won't announce pregnancy in 2019 but they announce it in the beginning of 2020.

Other
- State visit from Belgium to UK. Elisabeth participates some minor parts if it occurs after her birthday.
- State visit(s) between the Scandinavian.
- Theodora and Matthew has their wedding in US. They mainly invite close relatives and friends, not so many royal guests.
