Is an announcement imminent? According to a distance relative Wills and Kate are already engaged, but royal sources have rubbished the claimA cousin of Prince Charles has claimed Prince William is already engaged to Kate Middleton and the pair have invited him to their wedding.
Prince Julius Eduard von Anhalt, the Duke of Saxony, told a magazine that the pair will formally announce their engagement this autumn and marry next July.
He did not provide proof of the invitation and refused to give the exact date of the ceremony, saying it was confidential.
Das Neue Blatt magazine speculated it could be July 2 – the same day that the Prince of Wales married Diana in 1981.
Prince Eduard, 68, is a distant cousin of Prince Charles and a member of the German nobility.
He is well known in his home town of Berlin as a socialite and columnist, and often appears on television as a commentator on royal matters across Europe.
He said: 'Kate issued William with an ultimatum: we marry or we break up. There are obviously no more objections from the public, so the engagement is set for this autumn.The wedding is set for July.'
But royal sources close to Prince William, 28, last night rubbished the claims.
One said: 'This gentleman does not know what he is talking about. Prince William has probably not even heard of him. 'The engagement is still an if, not a when.'
