Photographs published Sunday of Prince William’s girlfriend Kate Middleton, clad in khaki on a Scottish hunting trip, have rekindled speculation that the pair will soon announce their engagement, The Associated Press reports.
Sunday newspapers in Britain ran pictures showing Middleton, 25, on a stag hunting expedition at the royal family’s Balmoral estate alongside William’s father, Prince Charles.
One shows Middleton, in jeans and a camouflage jacket, lying on her stomach as she lines up her rifle for a shot, reportedly at a practice target, the AP reports.
The Sunday Telegraph said it was the first time Middleton had been photographed with Charles, “fueling speculation that she is about to become engaged to Prince William.”
Buckingham Palace refused to comment on the trip.
William and Middleton met at St. Andrews University in Scotland and dated for several years, but announced their split in April as speculation swirled that they were about to marry.
