How fast are they moving, really? Kate Middleton and Price William’s rekindled courtship is moving at a rapid pace, reports entertainment magazine Us Weekly. Kate Middleton, 25, has been invited to spend an October weekend with the queen!

The cute commoner and her on-again beau, 25, (they split in April before reuniting this summer), will travel to Scotland’s Balmoral Castle, the private residence of Queen Elizabeth, 81, and Price Philip, 86, a source tells the Hot Stuff section of the mag in this week’s published issue.

“She needs to pack a crazy amount of clothes: and outfit for lunch, one for dinner, clothes for the evening, casual wear for the day,” the insider reveals. She will also have to follow myriad rules, “like curtseying whenever she sees the queen – even if she has already seen her that day.”

So is Middleton excited about the trip? “Kate’s freaking out,” adds the pal. “Meeting with the queen means one thing: a talk about possibly becoming William’s wife.” Is Kate ready to be queen? Recent reports have claimed that she is terrified of the role, but she appears to be steaming full speed ahead and that might just be her future. (via The National Ledger)
