KEY POINTS:
LONDON - Prince William is expected to pop the question to on-off girlfriend Kate Middleton soon and a royal wedding is on the cards for 2009.
The 25-year-old prince is believed to be preparing to get engaged once he has finished his training with the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy next year, the Sunday Express reports.
"We will know about an engagement sooner rather than later," unnamed royal sources told the newspaper.
"William will be back in his Army uniform after he has finished his stints in the other armed forces."
The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh are believed to be "particularly keen" for their grandson, who is second in line to the throne, to make a decision about marrying Middleton, 25.
