Rumors of a royal wedding are intensifying as CBS says it's no longer a question of "if," but "when" Prince William and Kate Middleton will walk down the aisle.
They're both 27, and have been together, "more or less," for eight years.
The latest rumor is that William and Kate have come to an "understanding," if not an engagement. They are headed down the path to marriage - just not now.
That's stating the obvious, according to one source, who says, "Everyone believes Prince William and Kate Middleton will be together, eventually married."
The latest report claims is likely based on plans for the couple to wed before William's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, marks 60 years on the throne in 2012.
That means Prince William and Kate Middleton have just three years to tie the knot - and the clock is ticking: "She has to learn to speak in public," says a royal family observer. "We've never heard Kate Middleton speak, and she's a shy girl."
"She will be having media training."
Another celebrity gossip report in Britain says William will be spending some time with his father, Prince Charles this month, and teasingly asks, "Will they discuss a wedding announcement? Wait and see!" We're totally convinced.

I agree with Sara. William is dragging his feet and finding excuses not to get married. If they marry in 2012 that will be a ten-year courtship. As long as she is willing to wait, but what if he dumps her.

Well, he's probably been waiting for a better package and doesn't want to waste the money on her "grooming" if it doesn't work out. Then again, she HAS WAITED for him to drag his feet so what does that say about her???

The media have said the "for sure will get married" five years ago. Nothing has happened hmmm...

Furthermore I think she could be the other women in the relationship when he does not marry her. William is waiting cause he just doesn't want to get hitched yet.

... anybody ever stop to think that maybe it's KATE that is draggin her feet? Let's face it ~ marrying into THAT family isn't exactly a bed of roses. Look what happened to Diana. While I adore William and think that he will make a much better King that Charles ever could have (yes, I'm saying I think that the crown will bypass Charles and go directly to Wills).... I'm not sure that Kate is convinced that the price of being married to William is worth it. She has seen the hell that Diana went through, too!
