Prince Charles and Kate Middleton go Shooting
Kate Middleton tried her hand at shooting with Prince Charles on a trip to Balmoral, according to reports.
The girlfriend of Prince William was pictured stalking with the man tipped to become her father-in-law on the 50,000-acre estate in Aberdeenshire.
The Sunday Telegraph reported that it was the first time Miss Middleton had been photographed publicly with Prince Charles, fuelling speculation she may soon become engaged to Prince William.
Photographs show Miss Middleton wearing a camouflage jacket and dark jeans, with gaiters over her boots. Prince Charles, dressed smartly in a tie, appears to be instructing her. And in another photo Miss Middleton is lying stretched out on the grass clutching a rifle as she takes aim.
Miss Middleton, 25, is spending a long weekend with Prince William, but reports say he did not go on the stalking trip.
Prince William and Miss Middleton are staying at Birkhall, Prince Charles’s home on the estate, and are guests of the Prince and the Duchess of Cornwall. Miss Middleton and Prince William, also 25, flew in to Aberdeen on Thursday night on a flight from London, reports say.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman refused to comment on the trip, saying it was a private activity.

i like that she seems to be close to the royal family but i don’t like that she is shooting animals. i think that is awful and cruel to the animals.

i don’t even know what i think of kate middleton. she seems to be enjoing the media attention. i mean she smiles in every picture whlie prince william doesn¨’t like the media attention. i don’t feel bad for her when she complains because if she doesn’t like it then she should not be smiling. i like chelsy davis better because litteraly what has kate been doing since school. absolutely nothing. at least chelsea has a life and not being just the girlfriend of a prince.

Hi Bella, I don’t know, I’m sure she doesn’t LOVE the press attention. I guess there are two ways you could handle all that press attention - smile and be polite and try not to let it get to you too much OR get really fired up about it and be sullen or lash out. I’m sure the papers would love photos of the later! So keeping it under control like Kate seems to do appears (to me at least) to be the best option!

i guess you’re right about the attention part but what i don’t like is that she doesn’t seem to be doing anything with her life. all she does is go to different clubs. she’s 25 she should be at least try to get a job or something.

I’m trying to be positive thinking about Kate. I’m an employee myself. I wonder which office would hire a possible future queen as an employee, if not to take advantage of her current status. I think what she could do at the moment is doing charity works or help her parents running the family’s company.
About Chelsy… I wonder if she’s graduated from the uni later (and if still dating Harry), would she soon get a job or end up similar like Kate right now?
