Prince William and Kate Middleton have been dating for eight years but speculation that they’re about to get engaged has increased with the news that her parents spent the weekend at the Queen’s Scottish estate Balmoral.

Princess Diana was famously filmed with Prince Charles on their honeymoon at Balmoral, where Kate’s parents were weekend guests at a private shooting party. 

The photographs show Kate’s mother Carole, a former flight attendant, lying on the ground practicing shooting while her husband Michael stood by.
