RAF scuttles Prince William’s Valentine’s Day plans with Kate

PHOTO - Kate and William in happier timesPrince William’s plans for a St Valentine’s heart-to-heart with Kate Middleton were shot down when top brass told him to concentrate on his flying course.

Kate had planned to drive 250 miles to meet Wills amid reports their relationship was under strain.

But bosses confined him to base at RAF Linton, North Yorks, and Wills, 25, had to cancel.

An insider revealed: “He thought he could slip out for a meal but the RAF wanted everyone to stay on base. Kate was going to drive to meet him halfway in Lincolnshire. Instead, they sent cards and will exchange gifts this weekend.”

Kate, 26, was upset not to see Wills the previous weekend when he went with pals to a Cornish nightclub where a guest was later glassed.

Our source added: “His bosses want him to focus and he wants to impress.” Wills is set to earn his wings in April. (via The People)

    “Instead, they sent cards and will exchange gifts this weekend.” Does that mean that they got to see each other this weekend? I don’t think so…

    people.co.uk article doesn’t sound reliable. But anyway if so as it is, yes it should be this actual weekend.

    Theres another article in the sunday mirror that she has befriended Tara. The article downgrades Tara directly implying that its not a nice or good friendship for KM to be with.

    Hi Guys,

    I’m glad to hear that William & Kate is still doing well and hanging in there. Jenny, it’s doesn’t matter if you are a future King or not, you have to obey RAF and be focused. But I just knew that everything is alright with them. I agree Mariska, my prayers was answered as well. But they always seem to surprise everyone.

    I forgot to mention that I don’t think Kate being friends with Kate is a bad thing. Tara is embrassed by Prince Charles and Tara was even at the wedding blessing of Charles & Camilla. I guess Charles knows that people have their problems but I think Tara is doing fine now.

    you want me to believe that they tried to see each other and raf said no. so did they do it for everybody there. please. there been rumors about them breaking up and this is just to cover up the truth that there relationship is near the end.

    Well I don’t think we live in those days if you said no to a future king, something bad will happen to you. William seem to be following their rules. That doesn’t mean that he won’t get a chance to see her and giver her whatever present that he have for her. Another weekend is coming up. But I do wish they will appear in public soon so they can put these tierdsome stories to rest. As I said before, they always surprise us. Hi Will, I hope you feeling better and we all miss your comments.

    So… still no get togethers for William and Kate and now she is spending time with Tara. The last time she saw Tara was during the big-break-up. I see a pattern.

    Its always someone else’s fault that William doesn’t propose to Kate, or doesn’t see Kate or doesn’t marry Kate.

    Its his daddy’s fault!(the report during the Big break-up)

    It’s Pr. Phillips fault. Pr.Phillip supposedly told William to get engaged or move on.

    Now it’s the RAF.
    If William wanted to see Kate, she could have met him in the hours he was with friends.He chose to go out with his RAF pals.

    true merrick true, when my husband was in the airforce(america)we found away to be together and we wern’t even married yet . do u have any idea about the security on air force bases over hear. If he had wanted to see her he would have as I said before the only two people who should know are those two ,but somehow it’s in the press. could it be km made up the whole thing to scare off other girls,til she figures out how to dig her claws back into william.ps miss will has anybody heard if he’s ok?

    JENNY - Why do you have such a hatred towards Kate Middleton? William is no angel either - he’s a flirt and a party boy. You don’t even know Kate as a person and you constantly tear her apart on these posts. What’s your problem anyway? If William doesn’t want her, he’s independent enough and strong-minded enough to get rid of her and vice versa. Stop the hate.

    Paul Burrell, Diana’s former butler, has announced his wife has left him after 23 years. It’s not a real surprise considering all the stresses that have gone on these past years with Burrell and the courts. Also, he has admitted to being bisexual (perhaps she got tired of his being with men) and also the man was and still is obsessed with Diana.

    ” great girls taks about ideas, average girls talks about random things, insecure girls talk about other girls, jealous girls always die trying to be the center of attention” just sharing this thoughts of you. new to this site. i’m just wondering why british people talks so much about your prince relationship with Miss Kate, while it was an ordinary thing, they are young people and let them enjoy thier relationship. as for Miss kate, “time is gold”.

    jenny,

    Someone is reading our posts and writing articles based on them just as the Will guy said before because on Friday, I had asked you if you had heard of any “Valentine” news between William and her and I said that it would be “very telling” if there were no exchanges between them. Afterwards, several posters almost attacked me saying that the royal family had, “in fact” never celebrated Valentine’s day in the first place, not even minor royals they claimed never celebrated it and I had based my post on the bookies 2-1 that William might pop the question, Hmmmmm, even more telling, eh?

  • Me
    February 18th, 2008 09:43

    So posters are rumor creators that help the journos fantasy in writing half truth spiced with half lies to sell papers. BTW, many of the articles, more than 50 percent of them with PW or KM used, are unconfirmed.
    Like the Mario Testino article, I haven’t read a single article saying sorry - we got it wrong.
    Like the Amazon Sisterhood - same
    No sighting article, pics of PW/KM this past weekend with exchange gifts for Valentine.

    The press is so desperate with Royal News, that they go to doing real low stuff - like what just happened to Chelsy Davy.

    Very sad…

    I noticed some people are offended by some posts ,but the one thing I like about this site ,is the fact everyone is allowed to have an opinion.

  • Me
    February 18th, 2008 12:42

    Yes people do get offended when wording like “digging her claws”, “I heard that” but not read, rumors - is used to explain a POV. Those are just a few examples, but anyway I don’t mind as long as bad words are not used.

    I challenge POV with my POV. Never get a re-challenge anyway ! I’m sure everyones flaws are spots in a leopard that never go away, like for example those who use bad words just can’t kick the habit. sheeshh…

    JENNY - Everyone can express their opinions on their site but when it sinks to a level where certain people are using words like “w***e” to describe other women like Kate Middleton, Camilla or any woman, that’s just downright uncalled for and degrading and that person should be kicked off the site.

  • jenny
    February 18th, 2008 18:45

    steven already said he’s not going ti kick anybody off this site,ps its all here so people can express they’re opinions.If you don’t like mine just skip them ,and go strait to the we worship kate posts.i’m sure you’ll sleep better.has kate got a job yet ,or is she still at home pretending to be a photographer.she’s just thinks william andhis family owes her a lifestyle without having to work for it.the queen did 297 engagements last year.how ever will lazy katie cope? If she ever gets william to propose that is

  • Grandma828
    February 18th, 2008 20:30

    Jenny, Remember that Kate is a private citizen. She does not have to make her private life public. We do not know what she is doing. If she is working on her photography, it can take months of trial and error to get pictures that are suitable for publication. It is a very painstaking business. If she someday marries PW, then we can keep track of her engagements.

    but if he never marries her she alredy comes off as looking really lazy.she had a job for110mo.and7of those she was on holiday.If she’s going to be a royal she will be expected to do more royal engagements than princess royal anne.who does over300 a year. do you really want aparty princess,or a diana who did have ajob before she became a royal

    Jenny, Actually, you are extremely humorous! You sound so bitter towards Kate. What gives? More importantly, you sound like you know what she thinks,what the Royal Family thinks, what Prince William thinks. You know that she feels they owe her, that she is just waiting, that she planned it. Really, it is not that anyone cares all that very much, we are all here having fun. It is difficult to skip your posts because you write so many, all the time!!!!

    That’s my opinion.

    madelaine,just trying to vent my frustration over ateenage daughter of mine,who two short years ago was the sweetest little girl in the world,but now she keeps saying stuff likeif prince william doesn’t have to have a virgin bride so on . I guess I was raised to believe that royals are sapose to represent the best of our society.or atleastuphold amoral standard.as for your second q. her mother sent her to st andrews saying be nice if you could be a princess,and in the book william’s princess she had aposter of him on her wall,and there were some letters her mother gave her about royals,as for the many posts i write again just venting.ps how do I tell a teeage daughter no to this or that when possibly the future queen of england is doing it

  • Madelaine
    February 19th, 2008 15:26

    I have a daughter who is 21 and still a virgin! A Most of her friends are not, and truthfully she has a serious boyfriend now so I am not sure she will remain one for long. But you speak to her about the morals in your family, not anyone else’s family! You tell her what you think will be right for her. You tell her she needs to be in love and in a mature relationship. AND Jenny, you cannot tell her that if she isn’t a virgin, she is then worthless, or a wh***. Because if she either makes a mistake, or thought she was in love - she will not share this with you; she already knows how you have judged others in the same situation.

  • Grandma828
    February 19th, 2008 15:36

    Jenny, You can’t blame your problems on a girl you don’t even know. You have to set a good example at home. Your daughter’s training should have started at birth. You and your husband are responsible for your family. If you have problems, look inward for the solutions.

    perfect grades ,training since birth my daughter is still virgin ,but I’m fighting a loosing battle when people keep putting people like britney spears and har pegnant sister on the cover of magazines what about the good girls, and no km isn’t one of them.any girl who moons in public should not even be considered for a role as future queen but your right when raising my daughter i made the mitake of saying one to many times is that how a princess would act ,and until mooning km came along it worked, ps what exactly are you telling your daughters that it’s ok to publically moon people’ and talk about vibrators wow,and yeh I’m setting awonderful example I was a vigin bride raised3 sons who married virgins and have been happily married 25 years I to am going to be a grandma ,and will continue to say that girls like km should not be worshiped while girls like your daughter madelaine go ignored,because there not willing to lose there dignanty to get a man

  • Charlotte
    February 19th, 2008 20:46

    To you people who are praying that William marry Kate, you are wrong. You need to pray that he marries the woman that God desires to be his wife-whether it is Kate or not. how do you know that Kate is the one. if you are so divinely inclined leave the identity of the lady to God, but pray that He gives William the right one!

  • anonymous
    February 19th, 2008 21:59

    Face it. He’s Prince William. If he wanted to see his girlfriend, he would have. He chose not to and Kate accepts this behaviour from him by staying with him.

    February 19th, 2008 22:53

    she’s his camilla alright,but if he (charles)actually gave her a chance at her own marriage .he might have retained his right to the throne.Edward had to give up his right to the throne ,because he married a divorced woman.did everybody forget how we got qe2.do you think god would choose kate,or agirl who loved god enough to mantain her purity. asfor bonny prince charlie he doesn’t even believe in the faith so he should not become leader of the faith

  • Lydia Lilli
    February 20th, 2008 01:21

    Edward gave up the throne but how many years ago was that? And FATHERMAY I, how do you know what God would choose for William? Shame on you for being so cruelly judgmental. So basically anyone (or is it any FEMALE) who isn’t a virgin prior to marriage is someone you consider Godless or not loving God enough? And as for Prince Charles not believing in the faith, he most certainly does believe and he believes in the right of people to be able to worship in other religions as well which is why he hopes to be Defender of ALL Faiths.
    I think some of you people are a bit looney toons! God is the only judge at the end, not you and not me.

    this is all as Will had predicted:

    now prince william has all sorts of legitimate career and duty excuses for not seeing kate

    this allow the relationship to quietly peter out…without any bad press….william will look honorable, and kate will just fade into the woodwork

    hope Will is doing okay!

    February 20th, 2008 15:52

    I wouldn’t jump into quick conclusions just because she is laying low and everyone knows that he’s in the RAF. This couple has surpised the public with their once in a while together outings.

    I’d believe its over by end 2008 if no news of them together is ever published any more, or he/she end up going out with a different person alone, not in a all boys, all girls, or common friends group outing, this includes all their in circle. The establishment does not make announcement of their private lives, but they did issue an official press statement of his engagements with the RAF and Navy for the entire planned year 2008. This to me and its only my opinion is to prepare the press that he will be busy 2008 and no more hu ha chasing from the papz or press. I’m sure this was discussed between them (PW/KM) - its a fact that she is off the radar. As I said before, no one really knows her whereabouts. She has indeed kept low.

    And if he goes out with another girl, its obvious the press will do the works of finding out all the background of the friend, g/f, they always do so, looking for flaws to spread in the tabloids. Thats what sells right. As Steven says, every piece (article) has an angle to it.

  • jenny
