Backstreet roots of the woman who may one day be Queen - The Times
More of the humble family background of Kate Middleton, the woman who could one day become Queen, was revealed yesterday. The 25-year-old arts graduate has settled with ease into the privileged world of her boyfriend, Prince William, and is even rumoured to have moved into Clarence House. It is all far from the rundown West London streets to which her roots have been traced…

Prince Harry named ‘King Of Party’ - Trans World News

The 23-year-old royal won the title as he is a regular on the London night scene. “Harry is the epitome of UK party cool.

My top choices for up and coming stylistas - Work In Progress
Kate Middleton is classic but still fresh. She likes trim, tailored clothes or wrap-dresses by Diane Von Furstenberg, which are figure-hugging but never too tight; the occasional, plunge-neck halter-dress by BCBG for special occasions. And she is not afraid to wear serious statement hats…
Rman (back to the Chelsy and Harry thing): the reason...

I really feel that Prince Harry being named “Party Animal of the Year” is nothing to be proud of. He obviously has a serious drinking problem and needs help. Why is it such a source of people’s amusement to see this young man going down a negative and dangerous road? Chelsy dumped him once - next time could be for good!
Harry and his family need to wake up to his problems.

I think Harry is bored with his life. His and Will’s agenda are arranged by the household and I think the household is not giving them enough chance to prove themselves.
It’s nice to read an article that William will be busy in 2008. Hope Harry will be busy too. They really need to learn more serious matters to be prepared for the REAL royal duties.
You might want to compare with other RFs accross Europe, some of the young heirs seem to be trained more than Will and Harry on their age. Not necessarily military training, but it could be training on diplomacy, politic, serious social matters, etc. They could also spend more time in charities here, there, and everywhere. By being busy on things like this, they might have less time for useless clubbing and parties (and vacations).
I keep wondering why the household didn’t do this since years ago. Maybe because of the seniority within the RF members? But they should’ve an early long term program and plan for their young future heirs.
I won’t comment on how their private relationships will work if they really are busy, ha ha ha *lol*. If I were Kate or Chelsy or whoever the Princes’ girlfriends, I’d rather have a busy serious mature royal boyfriend who earn sincere respect from the people.

I hope they keep Harry busy too with his military duties as well as his charities. It’ll be nice to see him doing something really productive.
XD the girlfriend issue.

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know when Prince William reports to RAF Cranwell ?
Is it before or after 9th January ?

Hi
Hope you all had good New Year celebrations .
Does anybody know where Kate is at the moment? It’s her birthday soon and I wondered if William was going to miss it again.

She just got back from Barbados I believe and is said to be with William for New Years eve but no one knows for sure where. London more than likely.

In the morphed Background/relatives article published in the DM, which as of today is morphed after many edits/revisions, without keeping the original post, therefore its difficult to keep track from the original version, one paragraph said she most likely would spend New Years with Will at Highgrove, then in the next paragraph a source (this time a friend of the “couple) said they will spend it together wherever but together. That was (uhh monday 31) last time I read the same titled morphed article. I gave up ! Coincidence or lets say my opinion is that every edit/revision time I read the article, I find that the changes (taking out pics), shortening the background, adding her vacation with family at barbados, etc. had to do with the total end of 39 comments posted (last time I read it), which BTW backlashed on the DM, contrary to what maybe some will disagree with me and say it would backlash KM. Most comments said in different wording about -UK still has issues with aristos, snobs, and the sort.
I checked the RAF website, but you just can’t check the event site without a RAF or MoD password (I think).

Hi Will,
read the DM article and it says probably next week or so…

Carole’s family needs to stop selling stories about their “humble” beginnings. Nobody feels sorry for them and all it’s doing is proving the “Carole’s-a-social-climber” label to be true.
Harry does not have a drinking problem. How often does he go out drinking, honestly? And I don’t see him drunk, either. He was joking about being drunk and the next day he was just fine visiting the kids.
I’m honestly more worried about William. He’s the one that stumbles out of clubs. He’s older than Harry and is 2nd in line to be KING!
I really do think Harry is bored. He wanted to serve but couldn’t because the stupid media made it public and put him in danger.
I admire Chelsy for going after her master’s degree. She is really smart and isn’t taking garbage from Harry. Good for her!
As for Kate, how/why is she a “fashion icon”? She is a follower, not a trendsetter! She usually wears brown and black, not really trends because a lot of people dressed like that before she did. I’m just saying…
Kate is a smart girl, too. I just wish she would do something with her life. She could get involved in a charity or get a job of some sort. For once, I’d like to hear positive comments about her that aren’t shallow (”she has nice hair”, “I love that coat she wore to Mahiki the other night!”).
