A Royal Year Ahead: Celebrations and New Additions for the British Royals

2020 has been a challenging year globally due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, affecting people worldwide, including the British royal family.

However, there is anticipation that 2021 will bring joy and special moments for Queen Elizabeth II and her family.

The upcoming year is set to be filled with significant celebrations and new additions to the royal household.

Let's delve into what lies ahead for the royals.

Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, will commemorate their 10th wedding anniversary on 29 April.

The royal couple tied the knot at Westminster Abbey in 2011 and have since welcomed three children together – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

It is expected that William and Kate will mark this milestone in a memorable way, although it remains unclear whether they will exchange gifts.

Traditionally, tin is the material associated with the 10th anniversary, but the modern symbol is diamonds, which bodes well for Kate.

Looking forward to the next year, there are three royal babies on the way.

Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, announced in September that they are expecting their first child, due early in 2021.

Eugenie shared the news on her Instagram account, revealing their excitement for the upcoming arrival.

This new addition will be the ninth great-grandchild for Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

Additionally, Zara Tindall is anticipating her third child with her husband, Mike Tindall.

Mike joyfully confirmed the news on his podcast, expressing his happiness about the impending arrival.

Furthermore, Pippa Middleton, Kate's younger sister, is set to expand her family in 2021, expecting her second child with husband James Matthews, providing a sibling for their son, Arthur.

In the middle of the year, the royal family will gather to celebrate a significant milestone – Prince Philip's 100th birthday on 10 June.

The Queen's beloved husband will reach this remarkable age, and it is expected that his family will go all out to honor this momentous occasion.

The festivities surrounding Prince Philip's centenary are sure to be a highlight of the royal calendar in 2021.

As the new year approaches, the British royal family is looking forward to a year filled with joyous occasions, from wedding anniversaries to the welcoming of new members.
