Time to dust down the tea towels

When the bookies start cutting odds, it's time to get serious.  Betting shops across the UK are slashing odds on Prince Harry getting married after another flurry of rumours that the younger Wales brother is on the brink of popping the question to Cressida Bonas.  And now that the birth and christening of his nephew are out of the way, not to mention granny's coronation anniversary celebrations, he won't be stealing anyone else's thunder with a trip down the aisle.  Taking Miss Bonas to Sandringham for a shooting party is no way to dispel rumours anyway and with the couple just back from a very royal weekend away, it's no wonder bookies are slashing the odds.  Start making the tea towels, bunting and flags now.  There might just be another royal party getting under way and with Harry in charge, it will be a good one.

Prince Harry could well be dominating royal headlines in 2014
