Royal wedding speculation grew yesterday after claims that Buckingham Palace has 'cleared its diary' for a June announcement of an engagement between Prince William and Kate Middleton.

传言说英国王室将于六月份宣布威廉王子和女友凯特订婚的消息。

 

According to well-connected former editor and author Tina Brown, aides plan to announce on either June 3 or 4 that a wedding will take place in November.

消息灵通的前编辑和撰稿人Tina Brown声称，6月3日或4日的时候，皇室会宣布婚礼的消息，可能会在11月份举行。

Miss Brown was a personal friend of William's mother Diana and has published a well-received biography of her.

Tina Brown是戴安娜王妃的密友，出版过一本广受好评的戴安娜传记。

She said the hint had come from an anonymous - but impeccable - royal contact.

她说这个消息是来自王室内部一个匿名的可靠人士。

She added: 'The Queen and Prince Philip, moreover, are approaching two landmark moments: Philip will be 90 in June 2011, and the queen celebrates her diamond jubilee - 60 years on the throne - in February 2012.

她还说：“女王与菲利普亲王也将迎来生命中两大重要时刻：菲利普亲王将于2011年6月迎来90岁的生日，而女王将于2012年2月庆祝她登上王位的60周年纪念。”

'Their closeness to their grandson, especially Philip, makes them eager, I am told, to see William settled in matrimony.'

“据我所知，两人都非常希望看到威廉王子尽快结婚。”

She claimed a winter wedding would neatly avoid comparisons with the legendary February engagement and July wedding of William's parents.

她说，这场将于冬天举办的婚礼将不会与戴安娜王妃的订婚仪式和传奇婚礼形成任何对比。

William and Kate, who have been dating since meeting at St Andrews University seven years ago, have been plagued by speculation about when they will finally tie the knot.

自从七年前威廉王子和凯特相遇，外界从未停止关于两人婚期的猜测。

Talk has reached fever point recently. William turns 28 this June - the age at which he once, rashly, predicted he would get married.

最近这种讨论愈加热烈，因为威廉王子快28岁了，他从前说过想在28岁时结婚。
