Kate Middleton and Prince William expected to make ‘big announcement’ over Christmas

Kate Middleton and Prince William are expected to make 'big announcement' over Christmas.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have had a pretty busy 2019. However, according to a royal expert, it looks like they may be ending the year with some even bigger news. A royal expert has said that the couple are expected to make some big announcements soon enough. Omid Scobie told ABC’s Heirpod that the announcements would be a "slight break away from tradition", as the festive period is typically a quiet time for the royals. “Next year is going to be busy for the Cambridges," he said on the episode last week. “Expect royal announcements over the holidays, which I think is a slight break away from tradition. “There was a briefing at Kensington Palace just this week where they gave us a number of new announcements that will be coming out over the holiday period. “It’s a smart decision, it’s a quiet time of the year. It is a great time to announce things.” And it looks like the next 12 months will be particularly big for Kate. “We will be hearing about a new initiative from Prince William and some other news as well", he continued. “Next year is a big one for Kate. She is going to be really focused on her early years development. That is something she has been involved in for a long time now. “It has all been bitty for anyone who follows this. Apparently 2020 is a year when it is all tied together. So, yes, a busy year for them.”
