Rumors are swirling again that Prince William and Kate Middleton are about to announce their engagement, according to Fox News and several newspapers and tabloids. The rumors got started when photographs were released of Kate with Prince William's father, Prince Charles. Kate was accompanying the royal family on a hunting trip in Scotland.

This is apparently the first time that Kate has been photographed with her royal boyfriend's prince of a father. The photographs of Kate going on a hunting trip on the royal family's estate and being photographed seems to have convinced the media once again that the couple are going to make an official announcement soon.

Prince William and Kate Middleton dated for a few years after meeting at the St. Andrews University in Fife, Scotland. Prince William and Kate broke up in April of last year, just when the media was also predicting a future marriage for the couple.

The couple started dating again this past summer, according to reports. Just recently photos have appeared of the two together at nightclubs. They also were seen together at Camilla's birthday celebration.

There has been no comment from Buckingham Palace.
