2022 Royal Predictions

[SvenskaSarah]

I know it's only October, but I love the royal prediction threads and can't wait two months to begin one!

Here's some of mine:

ML and Mr Durex announce engagement (honestly expecting them to get engaged over the Christmas period because they have no self-awareness/shame).

First tiara appearances for Elisabeth, Ingrid Alexandra and Catharina-Amalia

Infanta Sofia given some sort of role/patronage to shape her future role as sister of the monarch

Baby news for Beatrice and Pierre Casiraghi, and I really *really* hope Gui and Steph are blessed with a second child. Possibly a surprise fourth pregnancy for Madde and/or Kate

Some sort of special occasion to mark Princess Estelle's tenth birthday- duchy visit or something linked to her foundation perhaps?

Jokke and Marie announce permanent move to France (have they already?). Mary enacts phase II of her Catherine the Great Plan to pip Frodo to the job of next monarch (silly one, I know!).

Future decided about Lady Louise- can't imagine her becoming HRH but I can imagine her possibly having some sort of engagement or taking on a patronage.

Christenings of August, Sienna and Lucas (if not done before the end of the year).

MT announces permanent move to France, Lux sighs a collective sign of relief.

UK State Visit- Kate wears a new tiara (new to her, not a new-new tiara).

What are your guesses? I'd love to hear them!!

UK

- Small christenings but lovely family events for August, Lucas and Sienna
- New babies/pregnancies for the York girls. And I don't rule out a fourth Baby Cambridge

- The Jubilee various events give us LOTS of tiaras/jewels sightings including old pieces never seen for years 


Benelux
- First tiara appearance for Elisabeth, Amalia
- Second baby for Guillaume and Stephanie , fingers crossed!
- Felix and Claire: either a third baby or on the contrary rumours of a separation/divorce...
- Surprise engagement announcement for Alexandra and/or Sebastian
- Delphine and her family more included in official events, joint appearances with Philippe, Mathilde and the children

Denmark
- The Schacks officially move to France permanently
- Felix and Nikolai seen more out and about with their girlfriends
- Daisy enjoying her belated 80th with the whole RF including the Greeks and the Sayns


Japan
- Mako and Kei expecting a baby
- Aiko take her first solo official events (they should get Princess Takamado to go with her)


Jordan
- Engagement for CP Hussein

These are all great.... if anyone is brave enough to have MT as a MIL then they deserve a medal..... Alex is a pretty girl and her brother needs to absolutely improve his presentation.... frankly I don’t see it..... but I suppose Louis will marry again next year

Lady Louise off to Gordonstoun to follow in her beloved grandfather's footsteps.

Gosh that would have been so sweet.  Sadly Gordonstoun is 4-18 and Louise turns 18 next month and is taking her A-levels next spring...English, History, Politics, and Drama if memory serves.  Makes me sad thinking about it, though I do think being closer to home has worked well for the Wessex family.

[bumbershoot]

Wow, had lost track of Louise's age. Had no idea she was approaching 18 already.

[SvenskaSarah]

How had I forgotten about the Queen's Platinum Jubilee??

In that case I'll add the last eve huge family group appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. News of pregnancy for Kate and/or the York girls a few days before would be sweet.

Lady Louise may be too old now to go to Gordonstoun, but James could perhaps have a term or few there still?

I also hope got tiaras galore during Daisy's golden jubilee celebrations too!!

[Oh_Caroline]

Lady Louise may be too old now to go to Gordonstoun, but James could perhaps have a term or few there still?

If James wanted to attend then I’m sure that Edward and Sophie would support him.  His current school is unknown by his prep school (Eagle House) is owned by Wellington College so I assume he’s there for his 13-18 education.  It’s crazy to think that he’s 13 going on 14 in December…where did the time go?

[Lady Liebe]

I tend to  think James will stay at the local school much like Louise. I think we're more likely to see Peter and Zara's kids attend Gordonstoun.

I think we'll see Eugenie fall pregnant again next year, with Bea later in the year perhaps. If Kate and Will have a fourth it will be next year, but I think they are done.

The Queen will have a marvelous Jubilee.

Andrew will gradually fade away, only glimpsed, ghostlike, now and again at Windsor Great Park.

Eugenie and Bea will begin to accompany HM for some engagements, freeing up Anne and Sophie.

Bhutan will get a little Princess.

Lux
Some MT and / or financial drama engulfs the family
Another pregnancy for Stephanie
Surprise engagement from Alex or Seb

UK
Amazing Jubilee, first real public celebrations since Covid so public take part with gusto.

Book from a certain family member is heavily promoted but ultimately has as much substance to it as a infamous interview. Legal action is threatened.

It is revealed Anne has taken up semi regular residence at Windsor to be with her mother.

HM goes on and on undertaking a super number of engagements. Video links are used by HM to "visit" Commonwealth Realms

Pregnancy from at least one of the York ladies

Peter and Autumn both have new partners. Autumn appears at part of Jubilee event

Spain
JC returns home after some sort of medical / health problem


Netherlands
Some sort of teen style drama with one of the A team - dropping out of school, caught breaking law/rules etc

We see more of CA in her role as Princess of Orange


Denmark
Mary acts more and more like la Queen

Freddo looks more and more miserable and unkempt


Sweden
Well I too would love to see Silvia ditch the dark brown locks in favour of silver

UK:
Lady Louise off to Gordonstoun to follow in her beloved grandfather's footsteps.

Louise is in her final year of school so won't be going to Gordonstoun to go to school. If she was going to go there she would already have gone.

Cause of Charles' ``sausage fingers'' finally diagnosed and it's not good news for his longevity

Already known - they are hereditary. This has been known since he was born and Queen Mary commented on the fact that he had inherited his sausage fingers. Philip also had them.

As for tiara events for the Jubilee that someone suggested: the listed events don't include any tiara events -

1. Thursday 2nd June - Trooping the Colour - not a tiara event; Beacon lighting - not a tiara event
2. Friday 3rd June - Church Service - not a tiara event
3. Saturday 4th June - Epsom Derby - not a tiara event; Party at the Palace - not a tiara event
4. Sunday 5th June - Big Jubilee Lunch - not a tiara event; Platinum Jubilee Pageant - not a tiara event

Other than the Party at the Palace there are no evening events.

Didn't Charles have terrible experiences at Gordonstoun...bullying and harassment and such? 

[luvcharles]

Didn't Charles have terrible experiences at Gordonstoun...bullying and harassment and such? 

He did but his father, brothers, nephew and niece all report that it was wonderful and loved it (although I notice that none of the boys sent their children there, although Anne did).

[jolene]

Wasn't Edward also bullied there?

[luvcharles]

Wasn't Edward also bullied there?

I haven't heard that.
