No royal wedding until 2013, sources say



Prince William and long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton are not expected to marry
until 2013, according to royal insiders.
Speculation swirled last week that they would announce their engagement after it was
revealed the royal diary had been "cleared" on June 3 and 4.
No statement was issued from Buckingham Palace, and insiders have told Britain's
Sunday Express a royal wedding is unlikely before 2013.
With Prince Philip's 90th birthday next year, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the
London Olympics in 2012, and Prince William's military commitments not completed
until spring 2013, sources have told the newspaper the diary is too full for a royal
wedding.
Royal engagements are usually announced in the spring with a view to a summer wedding.
Prince William will be 30 in 2013, the age he has said he wants to be when he gets
married. Ms Middleton is 28.
