Princely Punts With Paddy Power in 2009 - Bookie Favours Willams And Kate Engagement

For those who like to bet on the happenings in the royal family of Britain, Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has come out with special market on various outcomes in 2009.

If odds are to believed then Prince William is being tipped to announce his engagement to Kate Middleton. Paddy Power offers odds of 5/4 on this royal outcome in 2009.

However, the bookmaker is not much in favor of a royal wedding between them next year and is quoting 8/1 on that.

Second on the list is the marriage between Queen's granddaughter Zara Philipps and her Rugby player boyfriend, Mike Tindall. The odds on this have shortened over the past few days from 3/1 to 6/4, which leads us to believe that this might very well be on the cards this year.

Marriage between Prince Harry and Chelsy is a long shot at 12/1.

Even further is the possibility of a new king being crowned in 2009, as Prince Charles is 16/1 while Prince William is 50/1.
