A distant 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 Das Neue Blatt 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. 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.’

Intriguingly, St. James Place quickly denied it, describing the comments as “nonsense” and “speculation.” A royal source added: “As far as I know he hasn’t shared any information with anyone about his intentions either way, we have always made clear that there is no planning going on.”

Clarence House  says: “We’ve never heard of him and no wedding date has been set.”

One source close to Prince William added: “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.”
