William and Kate to tie the knot.

Prince William is shown telling the Queen: "We decided on 2011 so we don't upstage the Olympics..."

If you upstage something or someone, you draw attention away from it by being more attractive or interesting. The London Olimpics will take place in 2012, so by holding the wedding next year, the royal couple makes sure there's no competition between the two events. (I think this is meant to be ironic!)
