Princess Beatrice and her long-term boyfriend Dave Clark might be heading down the aisle shortly.

The couple, who have been dating for seven years, posed for photographs at the How Google Works book launch in London on Friday night.

There have been rumours that Beatrice, 26, and David, 31, who works for Virgin Galactic, are soon to be engaged.  But no official announcement has been made about the sixth in line to the throne and her boyfriend.

In 2011, a source told the UK’s Daily Mail that: “both Sarah and Andrew would be delighted to call Dave their son-in-law”.

“They already think of him as one of the family and aren’t surprised in the least that he wants to ask for her hand,” the source said.

Three years may have passed but if the loved-up pictures are anything to go by – we think Beatrice may be sporting a diamond in the next few months.
