What To Expect From Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton And The Royal Family In 2020

2019 was quite the year for the royal family, with some big highs like births and engagements, as well as some lows. No matter how much went on however, that doesn’t mean that 2020 won’t be another year full of some ups and downs for the House of Windsor.

The royal family doesn’t appear to be slowing down when it comes to their plans for the next calendar year. Here are some big things to potentially look forward to.

Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall:

Rumors are more rampant than ever that Queen Elizabeth is preparing to invoke the Regency Act after her 95th birthday in 2021, which would allow her to basically step back from all her duties as Queen while still retaining her title, and giving Prince Charles the ability to somewhat rule in her place. However, the Queen has made no moves to suggest this is true, though she has been slowly preparing her heir for his eventual role as King, giving him more responsibility and increasing his public profile and presence.

As for the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, they aren’t expected to have any large celebrations on their calendar, though their public roles could increase with more engagements as they take on more responsibilities.

Prince William and Kate Middleton:

After a big year which saw the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge become the sole heads of The Royal Foundation, they are looking ahead to another big year as well, which will include new initiatives and more focus on their charity work.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle:

After a year that saw them welcome their first child together, there was a lot of turmoil for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who not only started lawsuits against publications that they felt invaded their privacy but also took a six-week break at the end of the year from their royal duties. As for what fans can expect from them in 2020— the couple may once again team up with Prince William and Kate as they all take on more work following Prince Andrew’s stepping back from royal life.

Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi:

Another royal wedding is set to take place in 2020, as Princess Beatrice officially ties the knot with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. Details about the pair’s nuptials have remained under wraps thus far.
