Maybe the media is trying (again) to pressure an announcement.

I think the expectations are predicated on reports out of Australia that satellite time has in fact been booked. ?
the usual protocol is that news outlets are invited to St James for the photocall and there is a news blackout with a specific deadline
UK media are very good at keeping to the blackout, but US can be flaky and sadly Australia have been known to blow it.
Media behaviour is going to be the best show.

When you're out with former TV colleagues and they tell you they're expecting an engagement announcement from Harry and Meghan tomorrow...
1:29 PM - 23 Nov 2017
Tweets like this make me think it's happening...
Lainey's take is interesting too, she does get a lot of interesting scoop.
who are these people? Darren Burns pinned tweet is dated 2016.
EDIT: although I do like the idea of these 2 catching out US media this weekend
His twitter bio says, that he's the former head of the UK ITV news planning, so having contacts in the media, isn't that far fetched.
Who knows what's happening, but there's definitely something in the air right now.
Hmmm I went to his twitter page but can't find this tweet...

Okay, I am lost here on one thing.........what the heck is..* satellite time*? ......This seems so weird being up in that air..... guess I haven't graduated social media school yet....
I still see it. It's his latest tweet.
From my understanding that just means they are reserving a section of air time.

Thank you Pranter, I am not understanding this satellite time or air time, you mean that each time a show is on TV is booked into a satellite or something? Sorry if this is OT yet just trying to understand all that is going on here...when something is said that I don't understand I want to find the answer to it.....gets me in trouble all the time...
Satellite time would be so reporters could transmit the story back to their home country in real time. They send the digital signal to the satellite and then it transmits to their studio.
Like a story breaking in London and being transmitted to Sydney in real time.
That had me cracking up, you are so darn funny..............????
Does that mean that you can foretell us here that that darn engagement is going to be announced? Being dangerous has to be fun and gets you into places to learn new info...right!
Wow get home from a fourteen hour Very long shift and wasnnt expecting this
Well I have to be up tomorrow at 5am my time for another 14 hour shift. Maybe some exciting news to start my day ?
If true, looking at wedding by end of May (6 month fiancé visa).
