Beauty Watch: Kate Middleton gets the blues – Jolie in NYC
I have a confession: I troll the UK newspapers on a near daily basis, breathlessly looking for news on Prince William and my favorite fashion icon Kate Middleton. Aren’t they engaged yet, for the love of God? Can they not put me out of my misery?? Well, at least it looks like it’s going that way, and once they do, I’ll have lots of pictures of Kate in pretty, mumsy clothes to look forward to…
Kate Middleton gets her groove on to Britney Spears – Showbiz Spy
At least Britney Spears still has one fan – Britain’s possible future princess Kate Middleton. Middleton, showing off her super trim body, last night, took to the dance floor, and got her groove on to TWO of Britney Spears’ biggest hits, ‘Toxic’ and ‘Gimme More’. Kate was celebrating her 26th birthday like any normal twenty-something, opting to party in the shadows of London’s Kitts nightclub with only half a dozen close friends and family…
Lads line up to twirl Wills’ girl – The London Paper
Inside the champagne and cocktails flowed as Kate spent most of her time on the dancefloor, dancing to as diverse artists as Outkast and ABBA, with a string of eligible men lining up for a dance with the birthday girl. But the man she spent most of the evening swirling around the dancefloor with was close pal of Will’s Tom van Straubenzee. It seemed that Tom, an accomplished, if slightly old-fashioned dancer, had been designated as her personal guard for the evening…

Hi Guys,
My turn to make the meal this evening as Liz was out of town, so it was M and S day (joking)
When Liz came in she was really down having had a bad couple of days at a provincial crown court.
So I hugged her. Quite normal because if I’ve had a bad day she gives me a big hug. Its just something we do and I’m sure that most of you have similar arrangements.
Then Liz said ‘I wonder who gives Kate a hug ?’
So during the meal (and wine) this was the topic of conversation which then moved on to cover lots of ground.
My turn for the washing up too. (well load the dish washer anyway) and whilst clearing up I started thinking. Liz was in the bath and I must admit to getting a bit soppy.
If Kate has a bad day , weekday or weekend at present, then there is no one to hug her.
How sad is that ? I also started wondering if she can even phone William up because in all probability he would be in the mess with his brother officers.
So Guys think of that and all the days like that she has had for years and will probably again have in the future.
So as your writing your catty remarks , remarks obviously made out of envy, because you dont know her so how can you judge her, think twice before you even think think them.
Good night , God bless
That’s a very good point actually Will. You really make me see Kate in a different light particulary over the past few days as I read your posts.
You said that Will had changed since uni and Kate wanted the old Will back or something like that. But the way you said it made me feel very sorry for her.
I must admit that although I am not jealous of her, I did see her in a negative light. Whilst I still feel that she should get a job, take less holidays and not take Will back if he cheats on her again, I am being to sympathise with her.
What you have said about Kate, Will, shows her to be in a difficult yet different position that the press portrays her. You have made her appear to be to be lonely but in love with a man who may not respect her, love her or whatever. That she is still in love with the old Will from uni.
So thank you Will for showing me that different side to this story.
P.S who is Liz????
You guys William is not the only person in Kate’s life you know. This girl has family and lots of friends. If she need a hug, there are people around her to hug her and what in the world this have to do with anything? I don’t know, it seems like somebody has been nipping at the cooking sherry. LOL
Hi Claudius,
Of course you would have guessed but it wasnt the cooking sheery. The wine was equisite and I did excel with my cooking skills .
Seriously though , it did happen exactly like that and it took an awful lot longer to write about it than the actual hug.
Claudius, when he day is bad there is only one person who can ‘hug it away’, believe me. You dont just need a friend ,you need the friendly lover because those arms are the ones that take the hurt away.
I appreciate that Kate has other friends and her sister must be a huge comfort to her ,in fact they obviously are a huge comfort to one another because it is to Pippa that she turns when crisis arive, but its not her hug that counts.
Again Claudius believe me only the one hug really counts.
Bambi_boo
Liz is Liz. My love and my life. We’ve been together since University and both lead really hectic professional lives. But we are there for one another and its always been so and will always be so.
yeah that true that they have their own family and they have their friends
everybody always worried about Kate what about William.
Hi dmt1diva,
He is the one who causes this. It’s his selfishness and indecsion that leads to thesituation that Kate and he are in. A man (boy?) of 25 should be able to make a simple yes or no , he’s had enough time to know.
If he doesn’t know now then it’s NO.
If it’s not no then what is he waiting for ? Who is he kidding, himself, Kate, the reporters, the people ?
No one need feel sorry for him !
I don’t think that what you have said is fair on William. You have been very positive and fair about Kate but as dmt1diva said William has been ignored.
None of us now the couple or their private lives, so I don’t think that you can say that about William, Will. For all we know Kate and William may have a quiet agreement together about when OR if they will marry. William may love Kate very much but at the moment cannot see himself settling down. That can happen a lot where one person loves the other, but the other wants more. This other person has a choice, he/she can leave like Kate did in April, or he/she can wait.
What I am trying to say is that just because they are not married, it does not mean that William cannot make up his own mind. You don’t need to feel sorry for him as there is nothing to feel sorry for him about, but I think people have to try and understand both sides to this.
BTW, you and Liz sound very good together, and to be together since uni shows committment. Maybe the two of you are an example for Kate and William?
Hi B,
Sorry that you feel that I have been hard on William, and yes I do feel that Kate has been very badly let down by William especially over the past few months.
Puttin aside the reports of his cheating since getting back with with Kate mid 2007, the way that he ignored her at functions, arriving late with other friends, leaving to go out with those friends whilst Kate goes home alone. Going out for dinner with his step mother and cjildren and not inviting Kate.
His look of complete detachment whilst with her,
the recent report that on his holiday with Kate in August he was unable to take part in some daily events as he was hung over and left Kate to go snorkeling alone, and he very fact of arriving after Kate from the Craig ranch in Kenya ,was itself disrespectful and these happenings all speak for themselves.
In addition when was the last time you saw William smile when with Kate. He has been detached and has kept her at arms length for several months. Why ?
We do not know the ifs and buts about April but it was said that William made cxertain promises to Kate. Has he kept them ? ot in public.
I agree that we do not know what is happening between them but as I have said previously if he doesnt know his own mind now then there cant be future for them. If he does know his mind then as a gentleman he should do the correct thing be it yes or no. Kate deserves a life. She has been loyal and loving to William for years surely that requires some loyalty or respect.
This whole Kate and William thing is really out-of-hand. If they choose to marry, so be it – if not, then it wasn’t meant to be. Everyone just chill out and stop obsessing – you would think you were the ones getting engaged or married. It’s between the two of them and only the two of them. This is just what happened with Charles and Diana – too many people pushing them together and the result – disaster!
Can an old lady comment? I think you are all forgetting that Prince William is training in the military and that is important for his future as King. Leave the couple alone and let nature take its course. If they still love each other after a long separation, maybe a marriage will turn out better than Charles and Diana.
Grandma828 your the best !
I have a question – are Harry and Chelsy back together or not?
Don’t know, no news of Harry and Chelsy, whom BTW was last seen safe in South Africa. If she ever came back to Leeds Uni – no pics of her there yet.
On the other hand, latest pics as of 01/17 KM accompanied by Guy Pelly, Susanna Waren, Thomas Van Strawbenzee at the Afrika Afrika Circus Show at the 02 Arena, London.

Will must trust TVB a lot coz this is like the second time he has been seen with her…interesting…
Hi Guys,
benign, its not the second time its the fifth or sixth.
The scuttle but is that they were in Le Cercle, near sloane square on saturday evening and on embankment near ranelagh gardens on sunday am with two other females.
I cant confirm either as im not certain of reliability of sloane square and heard about embankment last evening
Interesting isnt it but almost supports pre christmas break up
It is interesting how Thomas is around Kate more then William. Myabe they Will and Kate did break up and decided not to make it public.
Hi Guys,
Anyone here believe in History repeating itself because some very dangerous precedents are apparing before our very eyes.
Enter left. One super prince loves hunting shooting and fishing type prospective princess.
Said prince goes into RAF and learns to fly solo.
Said prince is really a Navy man and goes to sea in his not so pea green boat.
Prospective princess says enough is enough and agrees to marry hunting shootin and fishing type friend of said prince whilst prince is at sea.
Said prince is heartbroken but years and years later marries super type model princess but somewhere along line prince remembers prospective princess from his youth and super model princess finds polo playing rugby playing non princes who help out to keep her from getting lonely
Fate and history interfere then new younger type prince meets and and falls in love with new younger super prospective princess.
New younger type prince goes into army regularly ignoring new younger super prospective princess for other non princess types.
Said younger type prince goes into RAF and learns to fly solo .
Said younger type prince then tries the Navy and goes to sea in another type pea green boat.
Younger super prospective princess then tells super young prince enough is enough and goes away with family to work it out . Super type younger prince is other wise engaged prior to flying and sailing with non princess types but best friend of said younger type prince steps in so super type younger prospective princess does not get lonely.
All’s well that ends well !
Doesnt it ?
Yes she is accompanied by William’s friends. They really do look after her and enjoy her company. To you guys, Kate being seen with other guys mean that William & Kate are no longer. LOL, you guys never seem to fail in making me laugh. Laying off of William & Kate is not you guys thing. Maybe you been on another planet, but William is very busy with his lessons and can’t with Kate 24/7. He’s working hard and you all are a false word of breakup. LOl, again, you guys really make me laugh.
I think the appearance on on the scene of Thomas V S is more than significant. He has not been in William’s company regularly since his appearance with Kate at William’s passing out parade and Diana’s concert. Since then he has been conspicuous by the non appearances.
In april when the pretorian guard took over following Kate’s double appearance with Freddie Sayer ,he was never one of the friends on duty escorting Kate.
Now, following Kate’s birthday he was present at the night club, well away from normal stomping grounds and was the only one of the known William set to be there. Was that planned as a coincidence ? He has been seen with Kate alone and with others several times since. He is also know to have helped Kate’s brother James with advice and friendship.
In addition. Does anyone have a photograph of the guy seen outside Kate’s flat late last year, two were published and from memory bear a striking resemblance to Tom.
It does not seem that Kate and William have met up since their day at Windsor with the reluctant Kate and cynical William photograph.
The Aberdeen story may also have been significant coming when it did and followed very quickly by the Miss al Fayed disclosue. Both in non English press reports. Again did any one notice that of all the stories that is the only one acknowledged by Clarence House who said that whatever happened it was now over. That itself was unusual.
The absence of any official word does not help but it is not in the establishment’s interest to confirm another split with William regaining popularity. However there were many reasons and reports as to why the split may have happened. Nothing since leads to a denial of those rumours which in it self is unusual as one rumour spawns a defensive rumour.
The one thing that remain unclear is what happens if William comes crawling back again ?
Who goes which way ?
One point. Kate still wears friendship ring given by William after first Swiss holiay
Oh Claudis, your comments are always quite amusing. You really do live in a fantasy world, don’t you?
Claudius,
I made my comments about Kate and Thomas V S before studying the photographs taken by Getty.
Claudius, is Kate flirting with Thomas? If she is its the first time I’ve ever noticed it or been told about it. So why ?
If she isnt flirting then I havn’t seen Kate smile like that with someone since the first few photographs we were allowed to see of Kate and William interacting with smiles and what were obviously their initial looks of love.
In two photographs in particular she almost looks smitten with or by him . Why ?
I can only guess that its a reaction to being paid attention to, to being acknowledged, to being appreciated or even just being taken out to a function and to being able to laugh together. What is happening ? What has happened ?
These photographs and the recent photographs taken at and after her birthday indicate that Kate is happy or is it that she is just a good actress.
In honesty she hasnt look as happy as this since June/July 2006 when her relationship with the Prince was at its height has she ?
Claudius, be honest with yourself and us and tell us have you seen her look so relaxed and happy in the last few years ?
Now during the period covered by these photographs she hasn’t seen the Prince but by all reports has seen Thomas.
In possible relationship breakdown and the possibe start of a new relationship matter come to a head very quickly. I think history has proved that and not just in Royal circles.
Claudius as you have said repeatedly 2008 will be a ‘big ‘ year. I just wonder …………
In my opinion KM is the gf of PW and she has all the right to go out with their (KM/PW) friends. I wouldn’t go beyond guessing if they are or not, cause I really just monitor the tabs. Old news taken to the front during Christmas from small tabs, which were not reproduced by the bigger ones without confirmation to me is just crap.
That is right Me, Kate is still with William and he asked some of their friends that they share to accompany her. That’s all. Of course people will try to make something out of nothing, which is soo tierd. I’m not in a fantasy world, I’m very much into reality and you guys just love the thought of something going wrong with them. Again I laugh.
Hi Will,
thanks for the answer. it is interesting that we never see pics of Will and Kate attending a show with another couple like Guy and Susanna except for maybe polo matches but thats mostly with friends..isnt that going beyond the call of duty though??? you are right, she seems to be really happy and one has to wonder as to the reason why..
is aberdeen consider a tab? i thought its a local paper which rely on local subscription not the same league as the DM…
Hi benign,
The photographs of Kate at the Africa show together with the others of and at her birthday party showed a side of her that hasnt been seen for a good few years.
Obviously this is what initially attracted William to her and it is such a great pity that protocol and presure prevented us seeing exactly the sort of person she is.
Many have commentated that when meeting her a sort of glow eminates from her but obviously this does not show through in the sterile pictures taken with William.
Liz, who has not exactly met her, but been close in company described this glow as surreal and as a lawyer she is not easily impressed.
I hope we see more of her in this mode and if it take someone like Thomas to bring it out, so be it.
Your comment about photographs of her with William at events is also interesting. I think this is mainly because when William is photographed at such events Kate is never present. Their photographs together are usually following drunked sessions which I am certain helped create the negative reports that Kate does get.
I have just been reminded of a similar photograph of Kate taken at the book launch late last year when she looked happy and carefree. She was on her own when that was take.
It just shows, doesn’t it ?
Yes she do have a great glow. I’m sure William just love to be around her. She will make the Monarchy much more brighter. It’s a blessing that William found her.
Morning Claudius,
Agreed,I’m sure he would too but may,just may have to get in line.
The story last evening was that Kate will be going skiing shortley and may even have already left.
Where and with whom is not known.
Okay, another “holiday”. Seriously, her lifestyle should be enough to drive the hardworking people of Britain crazy. She is NOT royalty yet. And she should just GET A JOB!! My gosh, she should be showing SOME ambition instead of “waiting around” for William! If I lived in Britain, I would be fuming mad. Once again, she is NOT royalty…but she insists upon behaving as if she is.
