According to Express, Kensington Palace announced via a briefing the Duke and Duchess will make an official statement, which will relate to their commitments over the next year.
Royal expert Omid Scobie, who was at the briefing, has revealed that the announcement will be made in the next two weeks, adding that it might be a “break from tradition”.
Speaking on ABC’s The Heirpod, Omid said next year is going to be particularly busy for the Cambridges – especially for Kate Middleton.
“Expect royal announcements over the holidays, which I think is a slight break away from tradition,” Omid said.
“There was a briefing at Kensington Palace just this week where they gave us a number of new announcements that will be coming out over the holiday period.
“It’s a smart decision, it’s a quiet time of the year. It is a great time to announce things,” he said
The royal commentator added: “We will be hearing about a new initiative from Prince William and some other news as well.
“Next year is a big one for Kate. She is going to be really focused on her early years’ development. That is something she has been involved in for a long time now.
“It has all been bitty for anyone who follows this. Apparently 2020 is a year when it is all tied together. So, yes, a busy year for them,” he concluded.
Wills and Kate’s rumoured big announcement comes after they seemingly sent the internet into meltdown after they shared a heartfelt message to their Instagram.
The post was to promote their recent appearance on the holiday special A Berry Royal Christmas, in which Wills and cook Mary Berry visited The Passage homelessness charity.
“It had a profound impact on me,” William captioned an old photo of himself visiting the charity as a boy, along with Prince Harry and their mother Diana, Princess of Wales.
