The Telegraph is predicting an engagement — maybe two — more travel, a special visit from an American, and expensive household repairs for the British royal family in 2009.
I’m betting that Zara Phillips will be one of the royal engagements. (ETA: Rumor is they’re already engaged.) Prince Harry? Hmm. His girlfriend might be a little too WAGish for the Buckingham Palace crowd, although I’ve read Prince Charles adores her. (Of course he does, he who wished to live in his mistress’s knickers.) But I’d put my money on Prince William proposing to Kate Middleton in 2009. I didn’t believe for a minute they broke up in 2007 and thought it was a ploy to get the media to stop hounding Middleton. And if they did break up and get back together again, I hope Middleton exacted some kind of assurance from the prince that the relationship is for the long haul, even though he’s set to take a long-term assignment in the military. So yep, I’m calling it: Middleton’s gonna be a military wife.
I claim not to be interested in the Windsors, but damn, I know quite a bit about them. All hail Hello! If you’re a Royal watcher, what are your predictions? Add them to the comments section below.

Watching the Royals, what better fun is there?
I hope William and Kate do make it official (as in an engagement or marriage soon). She seems very down-to-earth and “normal”, which I’m sure would be good PR for the royals. I think Harry and Chelsy are a bit . . . flighty and not done sowing their wild oats yet. It seems like I’ve read that Chelsy is not overly fond of the cool English weather, so I wonder if they will really make it as a couple in the long run. Having lived in Sweden, I’m a bit disappointed that neither prince has given much attention to the lovely Princess Madeleine. I’m sure she’s their cousin, but aren’t all royals inbred?
