PHOTO - Autumn Kelly leaves church serviceAs she contemplates marriage into Britain’s royal family, 31-year-old Autumn Kelly can rest easy on one score: her future in-laws already seem to regard her as one of their own.

Peter Phillips’ pretty Canadian fiancĂ©e certainly seemed at ease during a recent weekend spent at Sandringham, the Windsors’ much-loved Norfolk retreat, as the guest of Peter’s grandmother, the Queen.

Autumn, a management consultant, already looked the part of a member of “the firm” as she stepped out in a smart coat and matching hat to Sunday morning worship at the local church.

One topic guaranteed to have been up for discussion was the young couple’s forthcoming nuptials. No date for the big day has yet been announced, but it’s thought the service will be held at Crathie Kirk in Scotland. The tiny village church near the Queen’s summer home of Balmoral Castle is where Peter’s mother, Princess Anne wed her second husband, Timothy Laurence in 1992. (via Hello Magazine)

    You can tell that The Queen & Duke of Edinburgh is very satisfied with their grandchildren choices of partners. Next we will see William & Kate and Zara & Mike walk down that Isle. We have to see what Harry & Chelsy are up to, I think Harry learned his lesson and will take a mature step to his relationship. You can do more with your girlfriend than taking her out to a club. Take her to a event or engagement. The Earl & Countess of Wessex did it before they got engaged. It can work.

    What else do Kate and William do? Apart from going to a club?

  • Me #3 - January 30, 2008 at 8:43 am

    Apart from going to a club, which they haven’t been picture taken since the year 2008 started, we know that PW is in the RAF (there is a latest article published here in BRW indicating the he is studying and working hard – Willy or Billy the Fish). On the other hand, we really don’t know what KM is or has been doing 2008 onward, except for 2 unconfirmed very publicized articles about her going to MT NY March and Sisterhood September, whereas there is confirmed pics of her Afrika Afrika, which is not a club, B-day pics with sister and family.

    Will/Liz how are you going through, I miss your agree/disagree comments ! Come back soon…

    I know that William & Kate are too busy at this time to do alot but I mean when they are out in public together. He will start taking her to events and more upscale parties but to me they should have been doing that. But as their friends say, their relationship is not only stronger but more mature so they probably would have done that in the past.

  • agape_eternal #5 - January 30, 2008 at 7:02 pm

    Their “friends” aren’t exactly reliable sources on any side. There have been many occasions when “friends” or “sources close to …” have been fabricated people of the writer’s desire to a) sell the story and b) give the people what they think they want to hear.

    They don’t show anywhere near the amount of affection most couples, famous or not, show each other. And as of recent events it should suffice it to say that their relationship is not stronger but far weaker than it’s ever been.

  • Rman #6 - January 30, 2008 at 7:50 pm

    In recent weeks, they have been very busy and don’t have the time to come out and look like the perfect couple to please others. As everybody knows William is very busy with training during the week and Kate is working on stuff for the lesson that she will take from Mario. Being together in public to please other people and to try to prove that they still in love with each other is very childish. They don’t have to prove anything. Just continuing on what they are doing and working towards their future is good enough. I know Claudius would agree with me on that.

  • Marie #7 - January 30, 2008 at 10:13 pm

    And what exactly is Kate doing that would make her so busy????? Oh please!

  • Claudius #8 - January 31, 2008 at 1:41 am

    I do agree with you Rman. Kate is busy with her Photography career. William is letting her focus on that While he’s in the air force. Most recently, they was spotted at a Restaurant eating but they haven’t been in the public yet because they are busy. which is very fine to me because the paps have a way of treating them so bad. But back to what you said Rman, the queen must be very pleased with their grandchildren partners.

    It’s not that I am not pleased that Kate’s and William’s relationship appears to have become more mature, because I am. I wish them the best of luck in their relationship especially since William is going to be away a lot with the RAF. However, where is the evidence for thi photography career? Yes, there was one show for a FRIEND. But there is no other evidence. I know somebody will mention this internship with Testino, but where is the proof? Also, again it is William (a friend/boyfriend) who has had to organise it for her.

    And Me, you misunderstood me. I meant what do Kate and Will do together, other than clubbing (where there is proof). Don’t worry though, you are quite right about the RAF and Will having to work, I don’t think that Will will have that much free time over the next few months. =)

    Hi Me
    I agree were what have Kate done Lately or ever. I mean I’m 17 and I work Part time. She 26 and partically have no work experience.

    They do nothing except party. Thank god that the royal family have finally put william to work. Maybe him being busy while make him see the light or just a better choice of partner.
