No engagement has been announced yet, but the magazines and TV networks – hopeful as ever – have begun giving the anticipated engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton some coverage.

TLC to air William & Kate: A Royal Love Story

On Sunday, November 7, American TV network TLC premieres back-to-back specials with two very busy Kates in the public eye in KATE PLUS EIGHT: ALASKA, HERE WE COME and WILLIAM & KATE: A ROYAL LOVE STORY.

Starting 10 pm, TLC premieres WILLIAM & KATE: A ROYAL LOVE STORY. Showcasing the definitive love story between a Prince who will be King and the woman who may one day be his Queen, this brand new documentary unveils Prince William and Kate Middleton’s intriguing royal courtship that began in college eight years ago. Theirs is an unlikely story – Kate is an attractive young woman, but grew up well outside the realm of royalty. William is the embodiment of centuries of royal breeding and tradition. As he is being groomed for kingship with Kate at his side, this special reveals the added pressures William will face as he is expected to restore the reputation of the tarnished House of Windsor, a royal house severely damaged by his parents’ broken marriage and his mother Princess Diana’s untimely and tragic death.

On the Cover of People Magazine… Again.

After years of anticipation, royal watchers say Kate Middleton may soon be walking down the aisle to wed the world’s most eligible bachelor.

One royal expert interviewed in this week’s PEOPLE cover story says Prince William will likely propose to his girlfriend of eight years in February 2011. “There won’t be an announcement before Christmas because William has got to ask the Queen first,” says longtime royal watcher Ingrid Seward. “And they will get married soon after.”

On a side note…

Kate Middleton Fails to RSVP Charity Dinner Invitation

To the dismay of the organisers of the ­glittering Fashion For The Brave ­dinner, which raised money for Help For Heroes and the Army Benevolent Fund, Prince William’s girlfriend, Kate Middleton, not only failed to show up for the event but didn’t even bother to reply to her invitation.

Kate — the girl expected to be the next Princess of Wales — and her sister Pippa were both sent embossed invitations to the event, which raised £250,000, more than six weeks ago. But while her Royal Sir Force boyfriend, who was also invited, responded, Kate did not.

‘We had a formal response from Prince William and Prince Harry’s private secretary, who wrote sending their deep apologies and pointed out how much they wanted to be there but that, as ordinary soldiers, they could not get leave of absence from their military duties,’ says a spokesman for the organisers. But we had no response at all from William’s girlfriend, Kate Middleton, nor anything from her sister. I may be old-fashioned, but surely it is common courtesy to reply to a formal invitation.’

The article continues to say that Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie also failed to RSVP.

Funny, because even on the day in question, the charity organizers kept on tweeting that they were expecting “royals,” and even named Bea, Eug and Kate on their tweets. Looks like they didn’t know what they were talking about…
