Autumn Kelly – The New Royal Golden Girl
The Canadian-born fiancee of Peter Phillips has not just won the heart of Princess Anne’s son, she has also endeared herself to the Queen and Prince Philip with a down-to-earth and mature approach to her impending royal life…
In the official photograph taken at a Clarence House dinner to mark the Queen’s 60th wedding anniversary, there was one rather less familiar face among the generations of the monarch’s family gathered around her.
The tall, fresh-faced blonde was there again at the service of celebration the following day at Westminster Abbey. But while not many people may know that the woman is question is Autumn Kelly, that will soon change when she becomes the next royal bride.
Canadian-born Autumn is the fiancée of Peter Phillips, 29-year-old son of the Princess Royal from her first marriage to Captain Mark Phillips, and she has already made a good impression on the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, who have welcomed her into the royal fold.
That might have something to do with the ease and maturity that Autumn has displayed in dealing with the royal spotlight and its attendant circus. And perhaps also because she and Peter are determined to remain a low-profile couple – which has not always been the case with young royals and their partners.

It seems Chelsey and Kate could take some important notes from Autumn. Does anyone else wonder at the numerous “sources close to” the Royal girlfriends that seem to spill a lot dirt to the tabloids?

I am. It all seems like a bunch of bull to pull the public in one single direction. I’m even weary of the “sources close to” the princes. How do we know it’s really people close to them, that they aren’t stretching the truth a bit.
But them again, I don’t buy the whole Chelsy and Kate thing.

i think it’s pathetic that kate middleton quit her job so that she could wait for william to purpose. She needs to do something with her life because life isn’t all about marrying a prince. i don’t know much about autumn but she doesn’t seem to be hungry for attention like kate which is a good thing.

Sorry, Bella. Of course we don’t know much about Autumn, and the media have less attention for Autumn because, sorry to say, Peter is “only” 9th-in-line-to-the-throne.
Had Peter is in Will’s or Harry’s shoes, at the moment we’re all going to comment about Autumn’s life instead of Kate/Chelsy.
Maybe you could take a look at an article, where Peter’s saying he’s glad that he’s not in Will’s position, so his relationship with Autumn is less ‘annoyed’ by the media. I’m sure at some point, Will/Harry wishes that they’re in Peter’s position.

XD amen to what you say bella. She is incredibly pathetic. They say William is unfair but really she’s trying to force him into proposal by quitting her job and making it seem as if “they’re oh so happy.” Its funny how she tells friends to expect a proposal soon.
She’s a bit overconfident (conceited and arrogant as hell) that William will marry her ans she will become queen.
I can’t see how people can compare her to Diana. At least she waited until they forced her to quit her job because her and Charles were actually ENGAGED. It’s really sad.
Kate, get a life and a job. A women who is supposed to be so smart should realize this is just sad and a bad way to slide into proposal.

agape, as you were saying you “dont buy tho whole Chelsy and Kate thing”, I also don’t really buy what the media said her friends said she’s saying…
*lol*

Hello – If Kate Middleton tells her friends to expect a proposal soon, maybe William has led her to believe this – As for Autumn Kelly teaching them a thing or 2; didn’t she leave her life just a few months after meeting Philips – her job (management consultant of what by the way??) and isn’t she in a lot of the pictures lately? Maybe she’s just not as interesting as the other girls – she doesn’t seem to have much of her own personality left. She is morphing into another parasitic royal before our very eyes. I don’t think that there is anything there to teach – let the other girls maintain their spirit. clones are just not all that fun to watch!

I’m with you, Julie. Or sort of, anyway *lol*
Just like I said, we don’t know much about Autumn bcoz the papz might not “that interested” hoovering her since Peter’s position is far away from being the future King. Who knows, from all the bad judgement on Kate, if we consume Autumn news everyday, comments to her might be worse.
Agape, I’m w/ u too sometimes. Though I won’t write what you’ve written about Kate. I’m not that harsh… *lol* :p

XD touche.
But Kate seems to feed off of William and it’s kind of sad. The website for them is almost nothing but daily pics of Chelsy and Kate these days, and I don’t go there to see them.
If you even search Prince WIlliam, half of the pictures you get are of Kate, how fair is that? Last time I checked her name was Kate Middleton not Prince William.

She is not very pretty.

I think I repeat myself! What has kate done other than be (a) Educated with (b) fell i love with a fellow student (c) been loyal over many years (d) kept her own council and made no direct coments to press. Indeed I doubt hat many reading this have ever heard her speak. Yes she loves William, yes she hopes to marry him, yes she does all she can to hang onto her lover. What is wrong with that ? If, as I suspect most of the nasty comments about Kate come from ladies then ladies, and I still address you as such despite some remarks, please look into your own hearts, your own lives and tell me honestly that you would not duplicate Kate’s actions. To hold onto the man you love, the man you met when very young and who loved you back and to whom youd been loyal and loving. Honestly, tell us, would you not act in the same way with circumstance thew same. If any of you deny this then, are you being truthful ? Please ladies considewr this and think a few moments before writing such comments again

I would act the same…as long as I didn’t have to schedule dates with him and not two days in a row, even when we were rooming together. But now she’s just as big as him and her fame is coming from him so…
It’s all well and fine that everything seems “great” but he seems more annoyed when he’s around her, and I doubt it’s got anything to do with the press.
Nonetheless, everyone has their own opinion and they’re free to state it and debate it. I respect everyone’s opinion, I just happen to disagree wholly or partly with some.
