PHOTO - Kate and William skiingPrince William is planning to formally propose to Kate Middleton at Christmas, The People can reveal.

The engagement has been warmly approved by the Queen who fears the monarchy could suffer if her grandson ditches Kate a second time.

And a wedding in the summer of 2009 – at St Paul’s Cathedral or Westminster Abbey – would be the most celebrated royal event since William’s father Prince Charles married Diana in 1981.

December has been earmarked for a public announcement from Army officer William, 25, and Kate, 26.

The couple are currently holidaying in the Swiss Alps – with a royal bodyguard accompanying Kate for the first time.

A highly-placed Royal source said: “A number of bridges have to be crossed before any announcement.

“A Christmas engagement will allow William time to complete stints in all the armed services.

“It will also allow Kate time to be to be gradually introduced to the Royal court and be groomed in such matters as protocol and service.” (via The People)

    aRE you sure about that>? that news> or is it just a speculation? we will wait for their engagement but for now it might change so.. lets just wait for the confirmation.

  • britishroyalwedding #2 - March 23, 2008 at 11:28 pm

    Hi bluefire, definitely speculation. That’s why I popped the question mark on the end of the post title :-)
    But Christmas does seem like a convenient time to announce it. We will see…

  • missing will #3 - March 24, 2008 at 7:15 am

    Will – where are you?

    I miss your inciteful replies and general comments.

    I know that you are unwell but please please please get better soon.

    You are part of what makes britishroyalwedding so great. You bring so much to the blogosphere and without you it just isnt the same.

    Please come back.

    We miss you so much.
    (Hi Liz, if you are reading this, please get Will better)

    We love you Will and are praying for you.

  • Jess #4 - March 24, 2008 at 7:33 am

    I’m missing Will too. Get well soon mate.

  • B #5 - March 24, 2008 at 8:36 am

    Me too. I hope everything went ok at the hospital and you are recovering well. :)

  • Me #6 - March 24, 2008 at 8:53 am

    I think the last post of Liz (Will) was that he is going through a slow recovery at his moms place, hopefully he will be back with us soon.

    On the other hand, Will’s predictions of a soon break up seems to be not for the time being.

  • benign #7 - March 24, 2008 at 10:12 am

    oh boy, here we go again with the engagement speculation….the last time that happened, they broke up so as BRW says, we will see…

    Will, feel better and belated Happy Easter to everyone…

  • maddie #8 - March 24, 2008 at 10:30 am

    I think it is very possible these two will be engaged soon.

  • maddie #9 - March 24, 2008 at 10:32 am

    I really think these two will be engaged this year and married by next year.

  • maddie #10 - March 24, 2008 at 10:55 am

    Great picture by the way! The press needs to show more pictures like this instead of the ones of Will looking down or Kate looking at the cameras. I am sure he sures her alot of affection in private. Kate seems very secure in their relationship. It takes a tough person to withstand all the scrutiny she is subjected to on a daily basis. She looks beautiful.

  • Sara #11 - March 24, 2008 at 11:56 am

    I think this is a pic from last year, when they broke up!! LOL, kind of a funny pic to put up for thier “maybe engagement”.

  • Lydia Lilli #12 - March 24, 2008 at 12:17 pm

    It’s not a photo from last year – that’s pretty obvious and I have no doubt he probably already proposed to her privately. The Christmas announcement is just a formality that the Palace always goes through for the public.
    So to all you Kate bashers – Ha Ha Ha. William has chosen to be with Kate because he loves her – she also probably hasn’t been working because for all we know, they’ve been engaged privately for awhile and she probably is already being trained in the ways of a future princess and Queen Consort. Just like Diana stopped working as a nursey school teacher. And please stop comparing her to Diana – Diana was a different person and although she did alot of wonderful things in her life, she was also a very problematic person who caused much of her own inner turmoil. I don’t think Kate will be like that at all. I wish William and Kate every happiness!

  • Grandma828 #13 - March 24, 2008 at 1:13 pm

    I think that William and Kate have been privately engaged since their trip to Balmoral. When she quit Jigsaw, she said that she needed some time for herself. That probably includes her training. I just hope that that training is much better than what was done for Diana. Diana had said that hers didn’t amount to much. Lydia, you are right about Diana being very problematic, but part of that was caused by the fact that Charles did not love her and did not treat her as number one in his life. There was always Camillia in the background. No marriage is going to succeed if there is a third person involved. If 2 people truly become one emotionally then they have a chance of succeeding. I wish them well.

  • Sara #14 - March 24, 2008 at 1:15 pm

    actually it is, if you look up past articles for the last year, this pic is referenced a lot.

    Oh and I’m not a Kate basher, the irony was what caught my attention. I feel as long as they do thier “royal duty” then who are we to judge thier private lives.

  • Sara #15 - March 24, 2008 at 1:19 pm

    here is the link to the pic used a year ago!!

    http://www.royalanecdotes.com/2007/03/page/4/

  • Me #16 - March 24, 2008 at 1:26 pm

    So they used the same clothes or never went at all this year and are using last years pics ? Anyway, I do get your message or hopes or feelings about PW/KM…

  • Trixie #17 - March 24, 2008 at 1:28 pm

    And they are at it again. I’m sure not even William knows exactly when he’ll propose to Kate (if he intents to do so) but of course some tabloid writer knows. I guess most Royal watchers say 2009 is the most likely date for an engagement and wedding but that’s nothing but a good guess hardly inside knowledge. Ever since they left university the English papers have named one date after the other for a possible engagement yet nothing has materialised so far. They should really stop this nonsense. What will come will come.

  • Me #18 - March 24, 2008 at 1:29 pm

    I’ve always have been in for that way of thinking Trixie.

  • Sara #19 - March 24, 2008 at 1:42 pm

    no I do believe they were there last week, and that she did wear the same clothes, that makes me like her that much more actually. LOL, I can’t wait to see what people make of that!

    But those pics are way to alike to not be from the same day.

    I love the fact that some of the Kate Bashers are a bit speechless today!! I’m actually enjoying this website!

  • Lydia Lilli #20 - March 24, 2008 at 1:46 pm

    Unfortunately GRANDMA, I know Charles always put Camilla first but he just was never in love with Diana and was forced into that marriage mainly by his father, by the Queen Mother and by Lady Ruth Fermoy who was Diana’s grandmother and lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mother. Diana was primarily used to give children to the monarchy and not only she but Charles were never happy in that marriage.
    Lord Mountbatten himself tried to push Charles into marrying Mountbatten’s granddaughter, Amanda Knatchbull.

  • Lydia Lilli #21 - March 24, 2008 at 2:21 pm

    The photo of William and Kate is NOT from last year – it is from their current ski trip. Why can’t people stop picking on this girl and let William and Kate be happy?

  • Lydia Lilli #22 - March 24, 2008 at 2:23 pm

    SARA – I agree with what you wrote wholeheartedly. But the Kate Bashers will still be making rude comments right up until Kate walks up that church aisle and they say their vows. Some people just don’t like to see other people happy.

  • jenny #23 - March 24, 2008 at 2:40 pm

    how many times have the mags said they will be getting married next year ?I am counting 4 times and they never even got engaged.

  • Me #24 - March 24, 2008 at 2:44 pm

    the mags, the press, even the people push them to get engaged, ohhh my !

  • dramaking #25 - March 24, 2008 at 2:46 pm

    I won’t believe it until clarence house confirms it .they said this last year even had tea towels then they broke up.not speechless just at work unlike km who does not have a job.oh wait did’nt last week she move back in with her parents ,because she saposidly got one.if they were set to be engaged don;t you think she would be happy.she lloked miserable ,and old in almost every shot I found on the internet.

  • dramaking #26 - March 24, 2008 at 2:48 pm

    wonder what will thinks of this latest development.get better soon will.pw get a prenup

  • hope #27 - March 24, 2008 at 2:51 pm

    has the royal family confirmed anything .no .until they do it’s just another rumer that only benefits middleton .big surprise

  • gracen #28 - March 24, 2008 at 2:53 pm

    wait for confirmation .you watch as usual it will never come. like last year when they were going to get engaged.

  • Me #29 - March 24, 2008 at 3:03 pm

    It was just an easter vacay, why would everyone get so happy or upset about it ? Anyway, good for them – the pics do not show her nor madly or insanely happy nor depressed. I find the pics with a calm normal smiling look.

  • maddie #30 - March 24, 2008 at 3:28 pm

    How do you know they are not already engaged. I feel she got a firm commitment from him and that is why she is being invited to these formal events with William. They would not allow her to be there if the relationship wasn’t leading to marriage.

  • Me #31 - March 24, 2008 at 3:40 pm

    I like KM but I have to say maddie that KM was invited to such events last year and they went through the very public break up, which BTW, now senior royal observers, insiders or whatever they are called are covering the story that the break up was a agreed set up ! Ohh myyy the drama.

  • maddie #32 - March 24, 2008 at 3:44 pm

    True. I still hope they both will be happy whatever they decide to do.

  • Me #33 - March 24, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    Sure, always positive thoughts for both !

  • Princessa April Ann Calleja #34 - March 24, 2008 at 4:34 pm

    Congrats to William and Kate I hope you both have a wonderful grand wedding in any church of England. I hope I will watch the wedding on Television and hopefully I can record the wedding next year in my DVR. God Bless the future of William and Kate.

  • Rman #35 - March 24, 2008 at 5:13 pm

    I don’t know why these rumors start every year, it’s so tierd. They will announce it when they are ready. For the time being, I look forward to seeing the many pictures of Peter’s wedding in May. I also think people are making a big deal of Chelsy not attending the wedding. I don’t picture her crying and very upset over that. Like I said before, William & Kate’s relationship is on a formal footing and Harry & Chelsy is just getting back to things. If their relationship works out, we will see her at royal events. Just give it time. Lydia Lilli although there have been some William & Kate bashing, I’m glad to see William & Kate getting on with things and not paying attention to it all. They are handling this so gracefully and by them taking this trip and looking so happy (if you pay enough attention to the photos you will see) you see how they are killing the “breakup” rumors and letting us all know they are okay and taking things one day at a time. That’s all you can do with any relationship royal or not.

  • gracen #36 - March 24, 2008 at 5:21 pm

    you watch an announcement will come in a couple of days from ch saying hes not engaged

  • Me #37 - March 24, 2008 at 6:26 pm

    CH doesn’t comment on the Princes private lives, if and when an engagement occurs is when they make announcements. I have never heard an official CH statement saying or slightly mentioning a denial on “he is not engaged”…only heard of denials in “supposed” official engagements championed by the Princes, for example the latest occurence of PH.

  • Rman #38 - March 24, 2008 at 7:05 pm

    Yeah it will be a offical announcement of an engagement for Clarence House to say anything. That will come soon or later but you get tierd of hearing the rumors. But yet again it was a rumor that they would be going to Klosters and that turned out to be true so you never know. I know they wouldn’t overshadow Peter’s wedding so it will not be right away. He wouldn’t have time for an annoucement yet anyway because he will be busy serving in the navy. After that he will start becoming a full time royal so the Christmas annoucement don’t sound too off but I still think people are getting a little ahead of themselves. Again taking it one day at a time. That’s the key that they are following and that works.

  • Me #39 - March 24, 2008 at 7:43 pm

    Right ! I take it that we won’t know anything about them until a next event, perhaps QE and PP’s anniversary bash next week ?! Never know, if she goes to that one then I will suspect what other Royal insiders whisper that they are secretely engaged. I think PW made a commitment with her when they got back together(which also BTW, inside rumors are saying that the last years break up was a setup, whatever that would be), if there was no commitment, I don’t think KM would have been back with him. JMO and thoughts anyway.

  • maddie #40 - March 24, 2008 at 7:58 pm

    I have always thought that the break up was staged. I think PW was trying to protect Kate from all the paps. The plan (not well thought out) only made things worse for Kate and her family. I doubt there is a woman who would put up with all that comes with dating a prince if she truly didn’t love him.

  • Marie #41 - March 24, 2008 at 8:14 pm

    I distinctly remember that picture from last year’s ski trip…guaranteed. It is from last year…postitively!!!!!

  • maddie #42 - March 24, 2008 at 8:22 pm

    I just looked on the W&H unlimited site and Williams cap is exactly the same as well as his pants, ski boots the poles and kate has on the same thing as well. I believe it is a recent pic.

  • maddie #43 - March 24, 2008 at 8:33 pm

    Now that I look closer it is from last year. Wills pants and jacket is different. The cap and ski boots are the same and I think Kate just wore the same thing. It is nice to know they wear things more than once unlike some hollywood celebrities.

  • gracen #44 - March 24, 2008 at 8:41 pm

    I will wait for official confirmation.we have all been wating 4 years ,enough already make announcement kates not getting any younger.

  • hope #45 - March 24, 2008 at 8:42 pm

    waity katie will never get a proposal.

  • dramaking #46 - March 24, 2008 at 8:45 pm

    remember the dishtowels from last year before the breakup.I am curios weither everyone thinks william lied to his people about last years breakup.that makes him look dishonest,and untrustworthy to lie to his people in that ,or any way.

  • dramaking #47 - March 24, 2008 at 8:45 pm

    she is looking old

  • dramaking #48 - March 24, 2008 at 8:46 pm

    try and do an age photo of her to see what she looks like at 40

  • Curious22 #49 - March 24, 2008 at 9:09 pm

    I think Kate is what I would call an “angles” person…in some photos, and at certain angles, she looks absolutely gorgeous…but in other photos she does look the worse for wear and somewhat masculine. I will say, however, that she has very enviable hair, in all photos! Overall, I think she’s lovely…we would all look a bit haggard now and again if we were photographed incessantly…

  • dramaking #50 - March 24, 2008 at 9:13 pm

    she has been dying her hair for years,in one article she was going in to get her hair dyed that was 2 years ago.

  • Curious22 #51 - March 24, 2008 at 9:18 pm

    But that doesn’t really mean anything…nowadays, the majority of girls either dye their hair or get highlights starting in their teens, simply because it’s fun…

  • bluefire #52 - March 24, 2008 at 9:30 pm
  • Rman #53 - March 24, 2008 at 10:50 pm

    Yes I can say that photo was taken in 2006 or 2007. That’s not a new picture. Her hair is always beautiful and I like seeing it blow in the air.

  • Lydia Lilli #54 - March 24, 2008 at 11:08 pm

    Here we go with the negative remarks again. Why are some people on this site continually saying Kate is getting old? WE’RE ALL GETTING OLD/OLDER – that’s life and as far as William is probably concerned, he finds her a beautiful and desirable woman – isn’t that what counts??
    Personally, I think she’s more attractive than Chelsy but Chelsy is also very pretty. Can’t you just wish them all the best and stop making Kate sound like an absolute witch? It’s real awful.

  • Lydia Lilli #55 - March 24, 2008 at 11:13 pm

    Thank you MADDIE and ME for your comments – they make a great deal of sense and I too have felt that the famous “breakup” was a ruse to get the paps off Kate’s back for awhile. These two are more than likely privately engaged already and when THEY decide to make a formal announcement, that will be their decision (along with approval from the Queen – and apparently The Queen seems thrilled about Wills and Kate).
    Everyone should be happy for them and wish them a good life together. The world has too much unhappiness already.

  • dmt1diva #56 - March 24, 2008 at 11:22 pm

    yes we can lydia but at the same time we want the best for them

  • agape_eternal #57 - March 25, 2008 at 12:12 am

    This is hilarious. Especially because this whole thing of them getting back together in the first place was only because of the fact that they don’t want the monarchy to look bad. I feel bad for William because you can look at him and tell he’s not happy when he’s around her.

  • btw #58 - March 25, 2008 at 1:44 am

    Ok,
    i have just stumbled onto this site and have come to the conclusion that some people harbour more than just platonic feeling for the subjects of this forum. For instance – “i love to see her hair blowing in the wind” indicated as certain level of attachment that other people may not be able to ever achieve.

    So my question to you all is – does anyone one this website know, have meet or are the people in question?

    I am thinking that some of you might be – judging from the phrasing of certain comments. But that is just me – i could be wrong in this matter and usually am.

    Ciao.

  • agape_eternal #59 - March 25, 2008 at 4:28 am

    There are some of us here who have met the people in question and I wouldn’t be surprised if one or more of the people in question were “lurkers” so to speak, but I highly doubt they’d admit it lol.

  • Rman #60 - March 25, 2008 at 10:03 am

    That sounds to good to be true. I doubt anyone on here has met the boys or Kate. Everyone on here seem to be just giving their opinions.

  • maddie #61 - March 25, 2008 at 11:18 am

    I agree Lydia Lilli. I think Kate is prettier than Chelsy. It seems Kates demeanor and fashion sense has changed. Do you think so? Could it be she is being groomed to be a princess? Only time will tell.

  • Midnattsol #62 - March 25, 2008 at 11:39 am

    I really hope that it will be a wedding. I’m really looking forward to it! Kate is the right choice for Wills and I wish them every happiness!! Kate is a real princess!

  • Me #63 - March 25, 2008 at 1:07 pm

    Thats not true darling. She practices Anglican Church of England and is English, which the head of it is the Monarchy.

    On the other hand, Autumn is catholic born in Canada

  • maddie #64 - March 25, 2008 at 1:35 pm

    That is true she was baptised in the Church of England .

  • maddie #65 - March 25, 2008 at 2:25 pm

  • dramaking #67 - March 25, 2008 at 2:59 pm

    so basically your saying pw lied to his people.wow now there is a good king material.to lie to his people about the breakup.dishonest william his mother must be so proud he thinks so little of his people.does brw think the breakup was fake ,and that william is dishonest?

  • Me #68 - March 25, 2008 at 3:07 pm

    Not yet – its a “highly” rumor coming from the royal insiders, just like the PH/CD lets fight, break up to go to Afganistan thing…if so proved, there is to be in history an explanation to them, I care less if its true or not, why they did so. ;)

  • maddie #69 - March 25, 2008 at 3:19 pm

    The paps lie on a daily basis about him and kate so what if the tables got turned. I think if it was staged it was for security reasons not to deceive the british people.

  • dramaking #70 - March 25, 2008 at 3:39 pm

    you cannot lie to your people ,and still be fit to be king.will of the people

  • Me #71 - March 25, 2008 at 3:43 pm

    That’s up to the UK people, wait till the next vote, latest government poll, the monarchy in whole is 80% thumbs up. Individual RF members – PW is 75% thumbs up, actually went down with their “supposed” breakup, who even knows if its true that he said “I’m free”, for all I know the PRESS have said: lies, trues, half lies and half trues, rumors, theories, guesses, they even bet on engagement. Ohhh the drama…

  • maddie #72 - March 25, 2008 at 3:46 pm

    The story might not be true and if it were, it might not have been fabricated by PW. There have been many kings throughout history who have not always been completely honest with their people. Again this is just speculation and different povs. Do you feel Charles is fit to be king?

  • Me #73 - March 25, 2008 at 3:51 pm

    I get your point maddie, and thats why I said “for all I know”, I don’t even know if he even said that or not.

    Yes I think Charles is fit to be king, with divorce included and all, after all he has been the longest PoW in duty in all the history of Monarchy.

  • gracen #74 - March 25, 2008 at 3:58 pm

  • Me #75 - March 25, 2008 at 3:59 pm

    Now Camilla, oh my, the articles said she was fed up with the Caribbean Tour – but you see it was just one article that was gossipped and lasted about 3 days and died down. She has done her solo and accompanied acts, maybe the boat tour thing (carbon die down thing was a bad idea and flying would have been more fit and less tiersome). I don’t like nor dislike Cams, but I just like to opinionate balancly…I’ve travelled by “all service” boat and I’m very sporty and it does get tiersome – its pretty hard to look “descent” enough and prepped after boat travelling, faster lane by plane.

  • maddie #76 - March 25, 2008 at 4:00 pm

    I totally agreed with me i was referring to the comment made by dramaking

    gracen, I love thows words written in King Arthur – Excalibur is the best part (for me) in History ;) I love him just through all the english history, literature and some well done movies as well, with Merlin included ;)

  • Alison #78 - March 25, 2008 at 7:15 pm

    Its so plain to see that Wm & Kate will get married.
    Hasn’t she been with him for over 4 yrs. Why wouldn’t she wait. I think any female would, look she is with the future King. Who could she even think of dating that could take his place….I think they are just trying to avoid the news media. But
    I don’t understand why Kate and Chelsy are not
    seen at social functions or even a night out as friends. Why wasn’t Chelsy invited
    to the big wedding in May? She just kept a low profile while Harry was fighting in the war.

  • Me #79 - March 25, 2008 at 7:45 pm

    We don’t really know any of them that much, we would need a satellite spy to know there 24/7 lives or put them all in reality tv. LOL

  • claire_hughes #80 - March 25, 2008 at 9:02 pm

    yes, but even reality television has proved to be fake at certain times. we the people can only examine the articles and news stories we read. the only ones that know what is going on in their relationship are William and Kate. I’m sure which ever way their relationship goes, William and Kate will be happy. if their relationship ends, it seems as though they are friends, and would want the best for eachother. but again we can only draw conclusions by what we’ve seen.

  • Rman #81 - March 25, 2008 at 9:34 pm

    That is true claire_hughes, it’s very plain to see that a wedding is in the works for them and it’s a beautiful thing. We and the world will get a chance to know her much better when the engagements is announced. They probably will do a interview and a photo shoot and we will get a chance to see what she’s really about. I don’t think it’s much too far from what we see in the pictures. She seem to be a kind and great human being.

  • gracen #82 - March 25, 2008 at 10:07 pm

    wow rman’s inlove.I don’t see km that way .,but must admit she must be great inbed to make william so stupid where she is concerned .how does a woman get good in bed lots of practice.cannot wait til her past boyfriends cash in on all her dirt.

  • jenny #83 - March 25, 2008 at 10:09 pm

    The way she dresses up like his dead mother it’s more likely .she is manipulating those fond memory’s to form a very disturbing bond.

  • Lydia Lilli #86 - March 25, 2008 at 10:33 pm

    I have to laugh when I read that some people on this site claim to know or have met William, Kate or any other members of the Royal Family.
    Well I just had lunch with the Queen – hooray!!! And the Queen filled me in on all the palace gossip – lots of juicy tidbits. Come on people – get back to reality.
    Oh and as for Kate dressing up like William’s “dead mother and manipulating those fond memories” what in the world are you thinking when you make an insane comment like that? I don’t think Kate dresses like Diana at all and I think it’s insulting to refer to Diana as William’s “dead mother”. We’re all aware Diana is no longer here.
    Time to get a reality check and do some growing up.

  • Me #87 - March 25, 2008 at 10:36 pm

    Only dirty minds would think in those terms. If KM was stupid enough, she would have known and would not be going out with PW, and you under estimate the power of not only the BRF, but of PW, like if they haven’t done the full investigation of who is who.

    Maybe you should read more about Scotland Yard, MI6, other related forms the RF have protection from weardos, bad intentioned people, and the likes.

    Hopefully none of them reads this, and if your British, most likely be sorry for such negative and bag vibes :(

    jenny darling, every single royal watcher has seen those media comparisons, its up to you to have your thoughts and pov. If you feel it that way, shesssh that your way, but I disagree with you, each person is unique not only in character, personality, but also in style. KM has thousands of pics and for the media to compare a dozen of them vs. 1000 or more pics with different outfits is brain washing to me, no offense, thats my pov.

  • Lydia Lilli #101 - March 26, 2008 at 12:21 am

    Such anger towards a perfect stranger like Kate is so unhealthy. I think ME said it best to you JENNY – come on. I don’t worship Kate or look upon her as a deity. She’s a human being and woman that William fell in love with and more than likely will marry. Why are you so bitter towards her? Did she do something very personal to you? Calm down.

  • Trixie #102 - March 26, 2008 at 6:43 am

    I don’t think Kate dresses like Diana. Diana must have worn hundreds if not thousands of outfits during her 15 years of public life.I’m sure I could find comparable pics of her and Camilla even if I was looking long enough. Those comparisons are ridiculous. I don’t think Kate has a lot in common with Diana at least not when it comes to looks or background. Since I know nothing about Kate’s character it’s hard to judge whether there are any similarities there. They both seem to be outgoing and smiley persons from what I can tell from pictures but that’s about it. But the press would compare any woman William is dating to his late mother. Kate is lucky she isn’t a blond or she would have been subjected even more to those comparisons than she has. Chelsy is lucky that she’s with Harry hence she is spared all those Diana comparisons. Otherwise they would surely have found pictures of her in outfits comparable to Diana’s as well.

  • Sara #103 - March 26, 2008 at 6:55 am

    I’ve pretty much have said the same thing in the past Trixie, there may be a few simailar outfits, but I highly doubt she was dressing with that in mind. In comparisions, they use about 10 outfits, but Kate has been getting her picture taken just about everyday for the last few years, and if they could only come up with 10 outfits, then it’s safe to say she’s not doing it intentionally.

  • jenny #104 - March 26, 2008 at 7:24 am

    3 days ,and still no engagement anouncement.

  • hope #105 - March 26, 2008 at 7:25 am

  • hope #106 - March 26, 2008 at 7:28 am

    how can it be called a stable romance if they have broken up 4 times in 4 years?

  • Trixie #107 - March 26, 2008 at 7:38 am

    Where does it say they broke up 4 times in 4 years? The only “Wills and Kate split” – headline I remember is from last spring. And if by “break-up” you mean fight, they look like a much more stable couple than I would have thought. Quite impressive to make it through 4 years with only 4 fights. ;-)

  • hope #108 - March 26, 2008 at 7:48 am

    in several artiles from the breakup last year .they said they broke up for 5 mo. in 2004,2 mo in 2005,1 mo.in 2006,3 mo in 2007.

  • Trixie #109 - March 26, 2008 at 7:55 am

    Why then did the break-up article last year cause such a stirr? If they broke up before on an annual basis, it would hardly be news. But their split in 2007 made the BBC and CNN head-line news! I’m a very interested royal watcher and I do not remember any previous break-up article and I don’t remember that the articles in The Sun or the DM last year stated what you just wrote. Neither do I remember any paper referring to Kate as on/off g/f before the split in 2007 which they clearly would have done, had they broken up before. As I wrote I’m not denying that the papers reported “fights” or problems in the relationship, but I don’t think it had ever been reported that they parted ways before.

  • hope #110 - March 26, 2008 at 7:58 am

    they kept it below the radar read people,or ask other royal watchers

  • Trixie #111 - March 26, 2008 at 8:03 am

    You don’t try to tell me you consider people.co.uk a reliable source. Not even for a gossip paper. The Sun and DM at least get it right sometimes. Why should the papers have kept the other break-ups (one even lasting 5 (!) months as you claim) a secret but report the one in 2007 which lasted maybe 2 months? I’m more inclined to believe that you misunderstood what you read.

  • hope #112 - March 26, 2008 at 8:12 am

    peoplemagazine.com,why is it if people dislike kate we misunderstand what we read ,and if you like kate you know what your talking about?

  • Trixie #113 - March 26, 2008 at 8:20 am

    I looked up articles at people.com and none has the facts you gave. Here’s the link to the original break-up article:
    http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20035038,00.html
    Nothing about former break-ups.
    Neither does the article in the Sun, which broke the story. Here’s the link to that: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article25145.ece

    I’d be happy if you could provide a link for your claim since I don’t mind either way, I’d just want to know where this idea is coming from since I saw other people make the same claim before.

  • Me #114 - March 26, 2008 at 9:58 am

    Its not a question of dislike/like, its the comments – posts supporting your “dislkie” or “like”.

    I’ve read too over rated comments explaining why someone “dislikes” or “likes”, and the supporting reasons are just too outrageous both ways or utterly out of control (bad) or utterly out of fantasy, therefore, not only me, but many other balanced (neutral) posters cannot take or consider such comments/posters. Come on, every one here for sure has read posters that want to make you LOL !

    I’d say, try to keep it cool when writting your thoughts, pov, etc.

  • maddie #115 - March 26, 2008 at 10:19 am

    Don’t men tend to marry women similar to their mothers. Obviously, Kate probably has some wonderful qualities like his mother that we have yet been able to see until she becomes a princess. All the katebashers don’t take this the wrong way! I don’t feel KM tries to dress like Diana. She had a few outfits and who cares if she tried to emulate Diana’s style (women across the world did). She was a fashion icon.

  • Maiden #116 - March 26, 2008 at 12:00 pm

    Wew! That was alot to reak to catch up.
    Kates outfit this year it the same COLOR, but not the same. She hasn’t gained weight and the pants this year are tight. Her coat this year is fitted, last 2 years was loose.

  • maddie #117 - March 26, 2008 at 3:31 pm

    Trixie, I don’t recall any other break ups before April 2007 being reported either.

  • jenny #118 - March 26, 2008 at 3:40 pm

    DAY 4 ,AND STILL NO ENGAGEMENT announcement :shock:

  • B #119 - March 26, 2008 at 4:08 pm

    There have been other break-ups around the summer of a year when they were at university. It was reported that William had broken it off with her as he found her “too boring” and he tried to persue Isabella. However, she rejected him and he went back to Kate.

    In December 2006, Kate briefly broke up with him. But was encouraged by her mother (although I believe that the encouragement was exagerrated by the media), into dating him again. They got back together around the bonfire night that they had together.

    These are the main splits that I remember although I have seen reports saying that they have broken up a couple of more times. But I do not know if that is true. I will try to find some links to support this. :)

  • maddie #120 - March 26, 2008 at 4:10 pm

    I doubt there will be an official announcement anytime soon considering his training and the upcoming nuptials. That doesn’t mean one will not come. Many normal people date for many years and stay engaged for years before they marry. I have many friends who dated and were engaged for 6 to 10 years and are now happily married with children.

  • maddie #121 - March 26, 2008 at 4:13 pm

    B now I remember reading that first break up somewhere I just can’t remember where. I don’t recall the one where kate broke up with him though. Thanks

    Prince William Allegedly Kisses Another Girl At Party
    All Headline News Reporter

    London, England (BANG) – Even young royal couples go through the ups and downs of love, but this royal\’s girlfriend recently made it clear she won\’t tolerate certain things. Prince William\’s girlfriend reportedly ended their relationship – at least temporarily -after he was seen kissing another girl. Kate Middleton, 24 – who has been dating the royal for four years after they met as students at St. Andrews University – is rumored to have called off their relationship after a friend told her the prince had drunkenly cheated on her at a party. A source told Britain\’s Sunday Express newspaper, \”Kate decided they should have a cooling off period after she had confronted him over something she was told about him supposedly snogging (sic) another girl at a party after he\’d had one drink too many.\” The source added, \”Kate is no pushover and speaks her mind. She told Wills that if he fancied other girls they ought to have a break from one another to consider where the relationship was going.\” Fortunately for William, Kate\’s mother Carole managed to convince her daughter to give the prince a second chance and she invited him to the family\’s Bonfire Night party at their home in the Berkshire village of Bucklebury. The pretty brunette obviously decided to forgive the handsome royal, as they were spotted making up for lost time in full view of Kate\’s parents. One fellow guest said, \”William and Kate were so happy about getting back together they spent the rest of the night canoodling openly in front of her parents. It was quite a show.\”

    You have to scroll down nearly to the end to find the article but I have copied and pasted it above.

    I shall try and find information about the first split. Please excuse me why I do so as it can take a while. The articles are from several years ago. :)

  • B #123 - March 26, 2008 at 4:23 pm

    “But Isabella, the daughter of banking heiress Lady Mary Gaye Curzon, and heir to a millionaire fortune in her own right, is one of the few women to have rejected his advances.

    According to sources, their friendship, which started in 2004, was one of the main reasons William and Kate split that summer.\”

    why is pippa going to peters wedding :?:

  • Lydia Lilli #126 - March 26, 2008 at 11:57 pm

    Pippa is probably going to Peter’s wedding because whether you like it or not, the reality is that she is probably going to be William’s sister-in-law in the near future and is also friends with Peter and Autumn. Why are you so upset about this? I’m sorry they didn’t invite you to the wedding but hey, that’s life. So what now – are you going to start bashing Pippa too?

  • B #127 - March 27, 2008 at 1:42 am

    It is unlikely that Pippa would attend the wedding of Peter and Autumn. Not impossible but just unlikely. After all before my sister got married to her current husband, I was not invited to his relative’s wedding. In fact I did not go to his sister’s wedding, now they are married! I do believe that it is common of most couples. As there is no evidence that Kate and William are going to get married, only speculation. I doubt Pippa would be invited until they were married. It’s just not the way things are done.

  • Trixie #128 - March 27, 2008 at 7:50 am

    I don’t think the article meant that Pippa will go to Peter’s wedding but that she was invited to the recent ski trip whereas Chelsy wasn’t. Which is stupid since Harry wasn’t on that trip either so why should Chelsy have gone. But who says that gossip articles need to make sense. ;-) At least that’s how I understood it. I wouldn’t have any explanation why Pippa should be invited to the wedding since I don’t think she’s friends with Peter or Autumn.

  • Princessa April Ann Calleja #129 - March 27, 2008 at 1:45 pm

    I hope Kate will be the right bride for William lets hope she will be the lucky girl to marry William.

  • jenny #130 - March 27, 2008 at 2:15 pm

    I think the gossip mags have most of it wrong they have been predicting for four years now that willaim ,and kate would get married ,and yet still no engagemaent. :roll: I think most of the relationship was built up by the press ,and might not be as serios as people believe.If it were she would have a ring by now.

  • Trixie #131 - March 27, 2008 at 2:34 pm

    Well then I guess none of the current young British Royals are in a serious relationship except for Autumn and Peter since they are the only ones who are engaged. And Victoria of Sweden and her siblings are not serious about their partners either. Prince Carl Philip has been with his g/f for 8 (!) years and he’s 28 now. Victoria has been with her b/f for 6 years and Madeleine (the youngest) with hers for 5. I’m sure they’d all be happy to know that they aren’t serious about their partners.
    I don’t understand where some take the idea from that after this and that many years one HAS to get engaged to be serious about a relationship no matter how old a person is.
    What will come, will come (or not).

  • jenny #132 - March 27, 2008 at 2:47 pm

    I personally believe that if you wait this long to marry some one what you are really doing is waiting for something more real to come along

  • jenny #133 - March 27, 2008 at 2:53 pm

    8 years are you serios .how do these girls put up with these guys that are stealing their youth .as for victoria her boyfriends a real catch :lol: .From what I hear he’s a running joke in her country as to why many people believe she is a lesbian.not kidding raed some blogs .they are just basically telling these people your not good enough for a ring,but if your still around in ten years maybe.

  • maddie #134 - March 27, 2008 at 3:40 pm

    I have many friends who have dated and been engaged for more than 4 years. Now, they are happily married in mature relationships. IMO marriage should not be something rushed into. I don’t feel you are waiting for something better to come along, you are just enjoying being a couple in love.

  • jenny #135 - March 27, 2008 at 6:18 pm

    Queen elizabeth 2 did just fine not making a spectical of her relationship with prince phillip ,before marriage,and I also like the fact that thay are still together after all these years ,and that none of the rumors about them can actually be proven.

  • Me #142 - March 27, 2008 at 7:42 pm

    Same question around can you prove not ?

    No one has heard anything as of late. There back into their business, meaning no news, no pics, nothing and its Thursday…many theories and guesses, how fun to speculate ! Until the next event !

  • maddie #143 - March 27, 2008 at 9:48 pm

    Once the engagement becomes official, the press is going to be in a frenzy. They will be relentless in their pursuit of Kate. I feel that is why they are waiting to annouce it after William is finished with his training so he can be there for Kate when the announcement is made. I also feel they are secretly intended.

  • jenny #144 - March 27, 2008 at 11:04 pm

    secretly huh ,doubt it.

  • Grandma828 #145 - March 28, 2008 at 11:12 am

    Jenny, you are applying your small town values to royalty. It doesn’t work that way. The royal family has many issues to consider and PW isn’t through with his military training yet. Things will proceed in due time. If that does not meet your time line, then shut off your computer and concentrate on your own life.

    She’s definitely pretty looking in most of her photos… but the fact that she has no job, vacations/parties a lot, and lives in a million plus flat in downtown London tells me that she is just a spoiled snobby, rich girl… and it’s really sad to see Prince William to settle for someone like that. It’s also sad to see the United Kingdom possibly help fund her ridiculous lifestyle should she become a Princess!!! She only seems to hang out with Rich Men (despite her ‘humble’ background.)

  • Lydia Lilli #149 - March 29, 2008 at 3:28 am

    This is getting ridiculous. It is more than likely that William and Kate are secretly engaged and are just not prepared to make it public – when THEY are ready YOU will know – it’s their decision and their lives. Furthermore, look at Prince Albert of Monaco – that guy is in his 50′s, still unmarried, has children out of wedlock that cannot be legal heirs of his and no one seems to say anything about him.
    But always the same nonsense about William and Kate – always the insults, the nasty remarks, the snotty comments about Kate being nothing but a spoiled, snobby rich girl. Why don’t some of you just cool it. YOu don’t know her, you don’t know William, you don’t what their private lives consist of or what arrangements they have. Did it ever occur to you that she’s not working because she’s basically in training for her role as the future Princess of Wales and future Queen Consort? Do you want her just thrown to the wolves the way Diana was? Give the girl a break and a chance and get off her back and William’s back.
    Some of you are the real snobs.

  • B #150 - March 29, 2008 at 4:14 am

    “more than likely”= Lydia, we have as much proof for that statement as we have against it. Yes when they are ready we will know, but they could be ready to marry or break up. Nobody knows what stage their relationship is in. Not me, not George, and not you. Likewise, you are right that none of us knows Kate. THis means that whilst it is unfair for people to say she is spoilt, you cannot claim that she is not (unless you have met her).

    If she is training she must be doing it privately. I imagine that very little training other than speech making etc. can take place when not on a royal duty.Even still, with the busy schedule that she would have if she became a Princess, she should learn how to have a job and do the training. It’s a bit like me with my work at school, my homework, my revision for my exams and my other extracurricular activities. As a royal, you train during the royal duties. As you practice you get better. If you want to do any more training, it will have to be done in spare time. I highly doubt that Kate trains for the role from 9 to 5.

    As you said Lydia, nobody knows them. So let’s not judge anybody for their opinion as usually they cannot be proved or disproved.

  • Me #151 - March 29, 2008 at 12:23 pm

    Well not really B, I read a lengthy article recently in career and management (one of thos dull and boring office mags, not gossip mags), and the author a Profesor (I’ll try to find it and scan it for BRW) dedicates a small paragraph on KM and in reference to the “plosible” of KM training, he (the author) says that in “fact” is/would be the hardest career for any human being to do preparing to be Princess and later Queen Consort for life, its not that if she gets “in” you may LIGTHLY MAKE the “I quit” situation.

  • Me #152 - March 29, 2008 at 12:24 pm

    But, I won’t get off their backs (whatever happens to them, although I wish them well!) – I’m a Royal Watcher ! ;)

  • Me #153 - March 29, 2008 at 12:53 pm

    Or should KM take a super brainstorming crash course like Carla Bruni in Protocol, Royalty, Diplomacy so the gossip mags, press, not the serious political ones say she is Demure, Best Manners, Fashionista, etc. and in the bottom line is referred to by the serious one (which BTW, I haven’t read any comments or posts in any Royal forum) as Sarkozy’s “circus”, because of this and that, the poor ex model was in fact very very nervous, its not that easy to enter and be “in” with no preparation (seriously speaking as the above author I referred to) it is a career, and if out of love you didn’t study and political, diplomacy, related career, yes you do need serious training, not crash course training like Bruni did…

  • dagy #154 - March 29, 2008 at 1:23 pm

    Most of the crown-princesses of Europe went through some training before they got married. I know that Mette-Marit and Mary at least,spent time learning to know the different parts of the Royal household. They spent time with people that would be important for them in the future. They were thought royal history by professors and protocol by those who knows that.Mette- marit even spent time in the kitchen and with those who do the cleaning. Just to understand what goes on in such a huge organisation. These are things that they could do without anybody outside the court knowing anything about it.
    I have just watched a few DVDs about Queen Elisabeth, about the Royal Family and about the life at Windsor Castle. And it struck me how much a newcomer to the family really has to learn, just think about the history of the family they enter, the history of the different homes, the different events, pomp and pagentry, dress code,all the people they have to deal with and so on. It seems a bit overwhelming to me. The earlier the girls start , the better, I would think. Chelsy should start too, I think she may have even more to learn than Kate.

  • B #155 - March 29, 2008 at 1:29 pm

    Oh I don’t disagree with you Me. She must have some training IF she is to become a princess. But: a) nobody knows anything about that really (well none of us) and b) I would expect her to do something else as well. A good task to prepare her would be to let her work at something. To practice being under-pressure, after all being a Princess would not be an easy task. After all there is no real retirement.

    I agree with you that we should wish them luck in whatever path they take :)

  • Lydia Lilli #156 - March 29, 2008 at 1:45 pm

    I think B is pretty much balanced compared to other posters, but anyway each has their own Point of View, feelings about her, just need to have tolerance in reading and giving your own POV.

    In my latest post, I was giving the “if” situation she is training, its really a full thing to do (including all said, plus basic international languages, very hard) – and with the quiting Jigsaw and posterior one charity photography thing, and no more KM news, no clubbing, no papz chasing, I would “plosably” think (Guessing) that she is undergoing all of this in secret with the RF, and guessing as well that if it does become public now the critics would be both ways (hard bad and good prasing) while Wills at RAF/NAVY Training is like not a wise decission, more like the keep low both of you while this is the layed plan to plossibly announce end of 2008 or beg 2009. But gee weez – after all I’m just having fun guessing, while, they keep us on our toes. HA

  • Me #159 - March 29, 2008 at 2:30 pm

    I disagree, she studied in the best of schools, not only does she have a solid family background with no divorces in, therefore, a very solid family culture, which does help a broken latest Charles/Andrew pass on situation to their kids whom actually are going out with girlfriends and boyfriends (Kate, Chelsy, Autumn, Mike, David) whom come from none broken fams. ;) plus many other positive situations thay are known and others that we still don’t know, perhaps in 20 years if any of these decide to make there book

  • Me #160 - March 29, 2008 at 2:35 pm

    Upps and Anne (mother of Zara/Peter) also divorced…

  • maddie #161 - March 29, 2008 at 3:18 pm

    I feel it is too quiet and no sightings of her before Klosters. I think she is training for her future role as princess. I think she comes from a very stable family background and hardworkers. It took hard work and determination to get where they are (they weren’t born that rich) I don’t feel she is lazy. She is very athletic and played sports. Anyone who has played sports and managed to keep good grades knows how much discipline and hard work is required.

  • B #162 - March 29, 2008 at 4:18 pm

    Thank you Me. I do try to remain balanced as I do not know her. I try to only comment on the stories and the impression that we receive of Kate rather than Kate herself. :)

    Kate is probably with her family in Berkshire.

  • Me #163 - March 29, 2008 at 5:26 pm

    Yeap, plus what we read about the industrial estate job, then Klosters, so if the industrial estate job does exist, its an easy beneficial to her win win situation job ?! So many at the same time little things have been written by the authors of the press that one doesn’t really know what comes out to be true or false, without the pics proving something or anything at all.

    All the rest is really guessing, speculation or wishing theories.

  • hope #164 - March 29, 2008 at 10:04 pm

    so basically your saying a girl from a broken home isn’t worthy of marrying a royal?I’m judging km on what she does not what her parents do?

  • Me #165 - March 29, 2008 at 10:15 pm

    No I haven’t said that in your words, I said HE comes from a broken marriage, usually kids from broken marriage attach more to people from unbroken marriage (I know from experience and its a psicological proof researched worldwide, studied and put in paper).

    Judging on KM, Prince William asked her to go back to him, therefore IMO as the saying goes “you don’t know what you have until you lose it”…he recovered it certainly as we all know.

  • Me #166 - March 29, 2008 at 10:25 pm

    And quoting the words of Maddie, which are IMO valid (excellent sports girl and student, in fact the 3 day a job at Jigsaw – read the economy reports and thanks to her image there, the sales went up up, she caused a jigsaw dress trend in Mahiki/Bouji girls like it or not – so she made the owners make more year end income then what was budgeted), plus other positive things of KM, its not “basically” hope, its called being normal, judging KM based on real stuff, not I wish she would do this or that, when we don’t know if she is in fact or not doing the wish list of Kate bashers ?!

  • patricia s. #167 - March 30, 2008 at 12:13 pm

    She does look old for 26, she reminds me of a young Camilla, always a bit on the matronly looking side and what was wrong wth Pr. William, he looked so weird hiding his face the whole ski holiday. Oh dear, common Kate Middleton, airhostess daughter, plastic party favors provider, may be Queen. William needs to look around around a bit, this girl is a lazy party girl, does she work or does she just vacation and wait for William? One thing for sure, he’ll dump her again by summer. It may just be that she’s always available for a stay over with no demands and she provides herself. William seems to go for whatever is the easiest path, he is a bit lazy too I think. He’ll dump her again.

  • dagy #168 - March 30, 2008 at 12:23 pm

    I’m so impressed by people like you Patricia S who know it all so well and are not afraid to tell what you know. Can you give my love to Kate and William the next time you visit them or take a trip inside their minds?

  • hey #169 - March 30, 2008 at 12:39 pm

    they are serial-vacationers…….(dont think i spelled that right…lol)

  • Me #170 - March 30, 2008 at 12:57 pm

    No so much as Beatriz, Harry and Chelsy ;) but hey I hope they live up to it, because when they hit 30 non stop job until they die, I’m retiring at 60.

  • maddie #171 - March 30, 2008 at 1:24 pm

    im with you me. I will retire early and fortunately my family gets to enjoy all of our vacations privately. I don;t feel it would be too much a vacation when someone is always watching you and taking your picture.

  • hope #172 - March 30, 2008 at 1:34 pm

    well it seems more people see kate for what she is easy,lazy,,and old.

  • dramaking #179 - March 30, 2008 at 3:10 pm

    ok she benifits by the kate’s in charge articles ,the she so like diana articles,prince william’s only girlfriend articles,the william will marry kate soon aerticles ,which is basically a big hint towards william ,

  • dramaking #180 - March 30, 2008 at 3:15 pm

    good pr for kate ,maybe she choose the wrong career .she would make an excellent career in pr

  • dagy #181 - March 30, 2008 at 3:20 pm

    I have seen a lot of 26 year old women that don’t look a day younger than KM. As a matter of fact she looks very much her age.And why is it so very important for some to say that she is old? Old? If you can’t come up with other things to bash her for, I guess you might as well give up. It’s just silly.

    Cinthya: I think you should be a little more critical towards your sources. You seem to be just a little misinformed. To be honest you seem to know things nobody else does;)

  • dagy #182 - March 30, 2008 at 3:24 pm

    Dramaking; I wonder if you would be able to stand up in front of Kate M and repeat everything you have told us about her?

  • dramaking #183 - March 30, 2008 at 3:26 pm

    wouldn’t have a problem ,some one needs to pop that girls overinflated ego. Telling william he’s lucky to be dating her.

  • jenny #184 - March 30, 2008 at 3:29 pm

    no engagement yet :?: :shock: :lol:

  • gracen #185 - March 30, 2008 at 3:37 pm

    dagy trhen those women are in serios need of a facelift. kate does look 40,and thats not good .but maybe charles,and william have a thing for old lady’s.

  • gracen #186 - March 30, 2008 at 3:39 pm

    sorry, serious ,spelling error

  • Me #187 - March 30, 2008 at 4:57 pm

    Well if she looks 40 then the various polls from E entertainment, Tatler, People, plus many other ones have her in the Top 100 most beautiful women around the world. This must really disgust the KM naasayers.

    But the silly excuse, perhaps if you had more of a serious discussion with proof of dislike towards her, some us posters would have a health debate about her.

  • gracen #188 - March 30, 2008 at 5:04 pm

    I think that william needs to date more ,before settling down.what if he marries kate then figures out she isn’t the one. he is being pushed into a marriage with this girl without even getting to know himself as a man yet.

  • dramaking #189 - March 30, 2008 at 5:06 pm

    me, and you say km is’nt benifiting from the leaks.Are you sure she is’nt paying for such coverage by giving details about her ,and william’s wherabouts in advance?

  • maddie #190 - March 30, 2008 at 5:12 pm

    I still don’t see how she benefits! PW has said in his own words (not speculation) that he doesn’t even read the tabloids. I guess it is good for her to be great at pr because as the future Queen she will definitely need it so therefore she should be great in her role. I think it is great for a women to have high self-esteem and I personally feel any man I date is equally as lucky. I would not want a woman with low self esteem to be queen! How pathetic!

  • dramaking #191 - March 30, 2008 at 5:15 pm

    not low self asteem,but maybe not an ego so huge she gets above herself.kates alredy acting if she is intitled without having to work for it.

  • maddie #192 - March 30, 2008 at 5:17 pm

    Thats a twist km providing coverage of her whereabouts and paying the rags to print the stories lol I guess nowadays anything is possible

  • hope #193 - March 30, 2008 at 5:18 pm

    diana did it,to get the press on her side

  • maddie #194 - March 30, 2008 at 5:25 pm

    Diana paid the tabloids and told them where her and PC were going to be so they could to take pictures of them together. When was this?

  • dramaking #195 - March 30, 2008 at 5:32 pm

    during the divorce to get better footing in the settlement she got caught talking to the tabs in a secret meeting

  • maddie #196 - March 30, 2008 at 5:35 pm

    She paid the tabs.

  • Me #197 - March 30, 2008 at 5:42 pm

    After the Diana incident (her apearance on TV – there is 3 in the relation), the BRF in whole learned their lesson well, including all the crap that is going public with the inquest, that Kensington Palace was wired to control her moves, conversations, etc.

    If your suggestion that KM leaks to the press is true, she wouldn’t be with PW, he would be the first one to finish it backed up by the BRF. KM is more than intelligent to know that and wouldn’t put her own relationship in fire.

  • maddie #198 - March 30, 2008 at 5:45 pm

    During her divorce, surely she could have talked to the tabloids, but I don’t think she had to pay them to listen to her. You were suggesting Km pays the tabs and tells them where to get a picture of her and PW together. If that were the case, the RF would surely have advised PW to ditch KM instead of inviting her and her sister to ski in klosters or they wouldn’t have invited her to Sandringham or the upcoming wedding, or certainly they wouldn’t give her keys to Clarence House.

  • dramaking #199 - March 30, 2008 at 5:46 pm

    did your grandparents ever take you fishing ?did they pass on their knowledge to you .wow how nice it was for them to stick their foot in the water ,and care,km is the only one benifitting from these leaks which make them appear to be staged,because noone gets that good of press for that long without paying for it.

  • dramaking #200 - March 30, 2008 at 5:48 pm

    maddie ,I’m not saying she’s not clever.she’s good at avoiding detection I will give her that.

  • Me #201 - March 30, 2008 at 5:50 pm

    She wouldn’t be in the picture if that is so.

    PW may be going out with any girl, and whoever is in those shoes will be a major free interest to any press and paps.

  • Me #202 - March 30, 2008 at 5:55 pm

    Many parents around the world don’t do the job, like some single parent does. Both are lucky to have parents that do the job, as equal to grandparents, uncles and aunts who’ve had to step in.

  • dramaking #204 - March 30, 2008 at 5:58 pm

    then how did all those other girlfriends avoid them?because they never called them up,duh!

  • dramaking #205 - March 30, 2008 at 5:59 pm

    sorry to hear that maddie hope you had an adopted grandparent,or caring elder who gave you good advise even though you did’nt want to hear it at the time.

  • Me #206 - March 30, 2008 at 6:01 pm

    Maddie sorry to hear that. I enjoyed both my grandparents from mom/pops side when they where well alive.

    I don’t know you, but from your comments you sound like a balanced person, therefore perhaps you have had a very good guidance from your most direct family members – your parents.

    What I am saying is around the world not many are lucky to have parents to guide, but PW/KM, which is the subject discussed here now is that they do have parents and are guiding them well. I think PH was the one that needed more from the drug incident in the past, but now he looks fine.

  • dramaking #207 - March 30, 2008 at 6:04 pm

    some guidence,pull down your pants ,and moon the future king. wow such sage advice

  • B #214 - March 31, 2008 at 1:55 am

    It was a lovely gesture of the Queen to do that. However, it was being paid privately so I feel sorry for her that she felt she had to.

    Kate does not look ugly or old or anything like that. She does not look young for her age but many of the photos show her with little make-up and not smiling. In my opinion, if a person does not smile for a photo it can make them look older than they are. Also, a lot of 26 year olds plaster themselves with make-up. I have never seen Kate with orange foundation and thick liquid eyeliner.

    I do not believe that Will will become engaged this year. Part of me even wonders about 2009 as well. I would like to see him finish his time with the armed forces and be settled into royal duties first. That way he can support and guide his future wife, as he will understand what to do.

  • dramaking #215 - March 31, 2008 at 7:08 am

  • patricia s. #216 - March 31, 2008 at 3:20 pm

    It’s been reported that the Queen was not impressed with Kate Middleton.
    Britain’s Queen Elizabeth is reportedly unhappy about her grandson Prince William’s rekindled relationship with Kate Middleton. Former article quote from Daily Mail:AUG.2 2007-Exposay

    Kate is not special in any way, except that William likes her. She’s a wash, not too pretty, kind of plain, not after a career, a regular family life. Nothing grand or special in her background, no titles, just coalminer ancestors. I think that is one reason the press has pushed her so hard, she is just ordinary and the masses can relate to her ordinariness. She’s a wash, just okay, except for a future King, she’s kind of a bit on the low end.

  • dramaking #217 - March 31, 2008 at 3:29 pm

    why would she be a big fan she is constantly pretending to be just like diana,and the Queen couldn’t stand diana.

    i relly do feel sorry for kate…when it is announced that she and william are no longer together she will just fade into the background after all the details are mysteriously released with no media attention…….so sad to dedicate 5 years of your life to the paps and not get anything out of it…………..

  • dramaking #220 - April 1, 2008 at 4:50 pm

  • Rman #222 - April 1, 2008 at 7:01 pm

    We just seen the girl having fun and enjoying herself with William in Klosters and of course they are together and for you all to say something like that is absolutely crazy and tierd. I have to pray for you all because this is getting nuts. When something is clearly going good, you all have to rain on the parade. The girl is not Diana and never will be but we all should know she don’t want to be like Diana. Let Diana rest in peace. Put the silliness to rest. MY GOD.

    To DRAMAKING, JENNY, GRACEN – Your comments have gotten so boring, so hate-filled and so repetitive that this is making the site suffer. You wouldn’t have the guts to say this garbage to Kate or William’s faces, I don’t care how much you say you would be able to do it. People like you are basically cowardly in that they attack anonymously from their computer and maybe make their cruel comments to a few friends (if you have any) but you don’t have the guts to say it to the people you constantly mock, condemn, verbally abuse and hate. God, you people must lead miserable lives or have nothing better to do. Like JENNY, who sits their counting down (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 – no engagement). You are really BORING!!!!

  • dmt1diva #229 - April 1, 2008 at 9:29 pm

    I will say it to there face especially if im there friend and see something wrong. so lydia lilli before you start judging other about there comment about will and kate remeber that no one is judging you by your comments.

  • Lydia Lilli #230 - April 1, 2008 at 9:41 pm

    DMT1DIVA – I can’t imagine what it would be to have you as a friend and just constantly condemn and badmouth your “friends”. Do you really think William’s friends do that. What do you see that’s wrong in their relationship? You don’t know them – you don’t know what goes on in private. So get off your high horse and go spread your venom on another site.
    Another one with too much time on on her hands.

  • claire_hughes #231 - April 1, 2008 at 9:45 pm

    Lydia Lilli, their comments are not the only ones beginning to bore people. You have expressed numerous times that you do not appriciate their views, and their “hateful” comments. The hypocracy you are demonstrating is also, making this site, and it’s regular commentators suffer. Insted of reading their obviously quite predictable comments, and writing a post on how much you think their opinions are “nasty”, “hateful”, and “degrading” of poor Kate, why don’t you skip all their comments. Because apparently you have memorized all the names of those you disagree with.
    This site was created as a place for an adult conversation to take place, and discuss ( in agreeance or disagreeance) the royal family. It’s ashame that you let a few peoples comments ruin this for everyone. Why are you taking all this so personally any way? Do you have some sort of tie with Kate? They are opinions, and the freedom to express ones self without repricussions is a HUMAN right. Stop taking this so seriously, and enjoy this site. I understand that sometimes you may not agree with someones comments, but stopping writing about how they are “jealous” or have no life, it just makes you look like a nasty person.
    Relax, it’s a website for heavens sake, not the holy grail.

  • Marie #232 - April 1, 2008 at 9:53 pm

    OMG, they let lydia back on this site. I thought she left…didn’t the mediator have to tell her to stop being so rediculously harsh towards people? I haven’t visited this site for a while…took a break because of Lydia’s rantings…but she’s baaaack! Yikes!!

  • dmt1diva #233 - April 1, 2008 at 9:58 pm

    Lydia you don’t know what goes on in there relationship so stop say and thinking that you do. And if I see my friend unhappy and they are always looking down. I’ll ask them what wrong and if the ask for my advice i will give it to them. That what kind of friend I am. A good friend.

  • Curious22 #243 - April 1, 2008 at 10:38 pm

    Hey guys…I know I’m still new to the site but, in my humble opinion, I think that some of the people leaving comments could benefit from taking a deep breath and realizing that this is a site that, as many of you have stated before, should be fun to visit and promote “healthy” discussions, rather than rants and petty squabbles/disagreements that eventually turn personal for no apparent, rational reason. (That was a really long sentence…sorry!) If somebody were to speak negatively about a member of your personal family then, by all means, go ahead and say whatever you feel is necessary to defend them. But I don’t think that’s the case here and, at the end of the day, none of us actually know a member of the Royal Family (I’m guessing), and therefore everything that is said is purely speculation, personal hypotheses/opinions, imaginations about what life “inside the palace” could be like etc…and should be taken with a grain of salt. Everybody is entitled to their opinion…both positive and negative…so I’m not saying that people should only be allowed to post if they’re saying something positive…but the personal attacks and anger-filled manner of posting negative opinions are not necessary to get your point across. I’m guessing we’re all reasonably intelligent individuals so, when you choose to disagree with somebody’s comment and present it in a rational manner, we’ll understand what you’re saying without needing the obvious anger and snide remarks that have been popping up. Following the Royal Family is my little “indulgence,” so I really do adore this site…but the intensity of some of these posts do seem to be getting a bit tiresome and take some of the enjoyment out of visiting lately.
    Anyways…those are just some of my thoughts :)
