(PEOPLE.com) — Prince William may not have popped the question yet to longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton — but that hasn’t curbed anybody’s enthusiasm about their future union. In fact, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, was happy to share some advice for Middleton based on her 10-year marriage to Prince Andrew.
“Remember that you’re marrying a beautiful man you are in love with and remember to make time for him,” she told Popeater, “because I didn’t. Andrew and I spent 40 days together for the first five years of our marriage. I didn’t know that would be the case, but figured it out two weeks after I was married.”
Speculation that Prince William and Middleton will wed reached a fever pitch earlier this month after Tina Brown reported on the Daily Beast that the dates June 3 and 4 on the Buckingham Palace calendar were “mysteriously blocked out” for the possible announcement of their engagement, with nuptials to follow in November.
