    The leading royal girlfriends have bonded over the World Cup, which is being held in Chelsy’s home town this summer

    Kate Middleton and Chelsy Davy have been bonding over this summer's World Cup, with Chelsy even inviting Kate out to South Africa to watch the games.

    The royal girlfriends - who are not often spotted together - have struck up a friendship, and now Chelsy is hoping Kate will join her for the football festival.

    In fact. Prince Harry's Zimbabwean-born beauty has even invited Kate to stay with her, at her favourite beachfront apartment for a month of parties.

    'Chelsy has asked Kate if she wants to come to Cape Town and she hopes Kate can make it,' an insider told the Daily Mail.

    'She is hoping to turn it into one big party. Kate has yet to make her mind up but was grateful to receive the invite.'

    And the girls are hoping their royal boys will join them for the main event.

    The princes will be in the country on official business at the same time, and after visiting charities in Botswana, are hoping to move on to Cape Town to watch the game.

    'Chelsy is planning lots of parties and has invited William and Harry to join her although she knows they will be very busy,' said a source.

    Reports suggest Chelsy and Harry are planning to jet off on holiday after the match, leaving Kate and William to spend some time alone time together

    Rumours are already flying that the number one royal couple are set to announce their engagement soon, and this trip will only add fuel to the fire.

    And royal author Tina Brown suggests that a royal wedding could be confirmed this summer.

    'Two days in June have been mysteriously blocked out on the palace diaries - June 3 and 4. They suggest this is a likely date for the engagement announcement at last,' she says.
