Raised Aristocratic Eyebrows at Royal Wedding
When the ushers at St George’s Chapel welcome the 350 guests for what will be the most significant Royal wedding in nearly three decades, they will be extra careful not to stumble over their words.
After all, the two groups of relatives at the nuptials of Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly next month are such polar opposites that one slip of the tongue over the question, “Are you with the bride or groom?” could cause a few raised aristocratic eyebrows.
On one side of the chapel, set in the sumptuous grounds of Windsor Castle, they will seat Peter’s family, who include, of course, his grandmother the Queen, his mother the Princess Royal, and his cousins Princes William and Harry.
To the other, they will direct a decidedly different calibre of guest, in the form of Autumn’s family.
Having just flown in from her native Canada, they will be altogether unfamiliar with the subtle machinations of the Monarchy.
Among those invited on May 17 are her bricklayer brother, hairdresser mother and a wayward uncle who used to run a strip club.
In short, they are a collection of working-class individuals whose attitudes could well have some of their more blue-blooded fellow guests choking on their quails’ eggs if they cross paths at the reception.
Not since Diana tied the knot with Charles in 1981 has a new recruit caused such a stir.

April 18th, 2008 08:51
Should be interesting! It seems as if the new generation of royals are opting for more normal significant others.
April 18th, 2008 09:57
PW and PH talked alot about “normal” in the interview before the concert. I wonder if that is why PW is afraid to let KM go. She is his ticket to be normal and it really doesn’t matter to him if he really loves her that much. I know you guys are going to slam me for this, thats ok. The picture of them “kissing” after RAF graduation is a joke. If they couldn’t keep thier hands off each other, if they were more than good friends, they would have been holding hands, or he would have put his arm around her, or something just to touch each other. But they don’t, ever. That hug/kiss on the cheek is the same one given to Camilla, or every female that went to the memorial service for Diana. I don’t think KM is much more than a good friend anymore.
April 18th, 2008 10:13
u r so right. i hope that HRH prince william meets someone just right for him, someone he and the general consensus can see him spending the rest of his life with.
Also it is entirely possible that she could be a virgin. We are not a dying breed as the media likes to portray - some of us do have moral and integrity and understand that value of waiting and its importance not only for the relationship but for god.
April 18th, 2008 10:16
maiden,
I salute you - u r so right. it what his friends have been saying for ages - something about the only reason they are together is inertia and something else.
Anyway - they prob will continue this farce of a relationship forever due to Carole M’s best friend inertia.
April 18th, 2008 10:17
Autmn must be lucky to have Peter Philips as her fiance. I hope Autmn Kelly has a nice wedding gown for her wedding. Her wedding is next month so I wish them good Luck with a happy marriage.
April 18th, 2008 10:32
Autumn is very pretty in that picture you are right jenny.
mariska agusta, I think that they will stay in Edinburgh, as this is where both of them work. Peter is not a fully fledged royal so he has a normal job, Autumn has a career as well and both are settled already. I doubt that they will move just because of the marriage. Hopefully, they wil be very happy.
I hope that there is no problems at the wedding. I am sure that there will not be as the RF is used to being with “commoners” (if that is what you wish to call us all). The Queen has never shown disapproval in front of somebody at an event like that. I am sure that nobody would wish to ruin their special day.
Congratulations to them both and good luck as a married couple. Next stop is children, I bet that the Queen looks forward to the prospect of great grandchildren eagerly. Although, Peter and Autumn may decide to wait for several years, as many couples do.
April 18th, 2008 10:37
How can you say that prince Willian doesn’t love his girl friend of five-six years? You have seen so little of them. What do you know about what they do all those hours, days and weeks that we don’t see them. Normal royal couples don’t hug and kiss and put their arms around each other in public or when they know they can be watched. At least never before they are engaged. Think about all the other European royal couples, did they touch each other a lot in pictures before they were engaged? No, they didn’t. Maybe Harry and Chelsey do, but that isn’t actually very smart. And not normal for royalty. Just wait and see, William and Kate will show their love to each other once they are engaged.
I think William would have the strength and will to get out of that relationship if he didn’t love her. Of course, he would. Why shouldn’t he?
And why on earth should he marry a virgin? Haha. He sure isn’t one, so why should his wife be? He shouldn’t marry a teenager, and grown-up women are not virgins, are they? Normal, healthy, interesting, lively ones?
But this is not a problem. William is going to marry the woman he loves, Kate Middleton, the woman he has lived with, in every way, for years. Lucky William. Lucky Kate.
Poor people who don’t want to admit this fact.
April 18th, 2008 11:07
Congratulations to Autumn and Peter.
April 18th, 2008 11:20
PH likes to show PDA in public.
PW doesn’t show PDA in public.
I have my reservations of displaying PDA in public - that should be kept in intimacy.
Nevetheless there is some people who need to watch a display of PDA to feel assured that a relationship is going well.
April 18th, 2008 11:47
Let’s face it we might wish that PW would show his feelings more but what would we rather like to see: a man who is reserved or Kate and PW making out at every corner. I would rather the first one took place. However, I would not be offended if PW smiled and laughed and held her hand, as long as they were being respectful and not going OTT.
P.S. dagy: there are some 24 year old normal, interesting, healthy and lively women who are virgins, trust me on this issue please.
However, I do agree with you, it should not matter as long as she is respectful of herself and her body.
April 18th, 2008 11:47
They don’t have to be all over each other. But they don’t look like they are more than just friends. Actually I think they tend to look more like brother and sister, not like they are in love anymore. They used to.
April 18th, 2008 12:00
Brother and sister or heck where friends and have one, perhaps in Klosters honey. Katekins, yes Big Willie !
I’m being sarcastic. LOL
April 18th, 2008 12:17
Did you not see the pictures from last week, I’d be a bit creeped out if I saw a brother and sister looking at each other like that!
April 18th, 2008 12:24
On target
April 18th, 2008 12:26
I think there’s not much point to try and analyse their feelings for each other based on the rare pictures we get of them. Butit doesn’t look like brotherly love to me …
As far as I know William has never shown PDA for any g/f in public. He has never been pictured holding hands with any g/f and hasn’t hugged or kissed either of them any more “intense” than Kate. And let’s not forget that she’s not the first girl he’s linked to. So I guess it’s safe to say that his behaviour is just the way he is and has nothing to do with Kate or a lack of feelings towards her.
The same would apply to Harry. There were pics of him hugging and kissing girls before he was with Chelsy so he’s always been very demonstrative about his feelings - doesn’t have anything to do with his current g/f either.
I can certainly sympathise with those who wish to see a couple holding hands, kissing etc. just to be sure but I don’t think it’s fair to draw the conclusion that they lack love for each other because they don’t.
April 18th, 2008 12:28
Sara, which were the pictures from last week that you would be creeped out by if there were brother and sister? Can you provide links because I cannot work out with ones you mean.
Thanks.
April 18th, 2008 15:46
when I was on another website today,someone nicknamed kate “Princess Dolittle”.does she really have a job?If so how did she explain to her boss why she needed another day off?
April 18th, 2008 16:18
Jenny, jenny, jenny,
Why are you so obsessed with her having a job? Do you have a job?? I see you posting at all hours of the day and night…..as so do I - I don’t work ouside the home. SO, one never knows the other persons “job”. PERHAPS she is being groomed to be a member of the Royal Family since she left her job at Jigsaw and that is why she no longer lives at her flat in London. PERHAPS her she works for her family’s successful business at her leisure - when she can she works 7 days a week, when she wants to be with her boyfriend she doesn’t work at all!!
April 18th, 2008 16:25
I could imagine what site you refer to Jenny.
MGR, I think the “majority” of the posters Jen is refering to (website forum) - specially the ‘Dolittle” thing, thats why I know where she got it from - are obsessed. They become so repetitive in each thread, its totally negative and boring.
April 18th, 2008 16:57
Maiden I totally agree with you.
Kate was supposed Williams ticket to normal.
The thing is, I don’t think he was was looking for Kate’s brand of normal. I think he was looking for Chelsy’s or Autumn’s brand of normal.
William’s and Kate’s meeting was not “organic” Kate followed him to University and selected her course as away to meet him.
Harry and Chelsy met through friends, this was an organic meeting. Chelsy did not hunt him down. It was natural. Kate to me has always seemed to want the wealth, privilege and status for being with a royal or becoming a royal. She seems to “play the part” Chelsy and Autumn both just fell in love, titles were last on their list of concerns.
I think William wanted a “normal” girlfriend that would have him over for dinner, go to the cinema, sit in a cafe with friends and chat, see a soccer (football) match, someone fun, loved by friends and secure in their own life. Kate (from what I have read) has no friends. She has Williams friends, but none of her own. Chelsy has a life separate from Harry. William also probably wanted someone who held a job. This annoys me to no end. Kate needs to get a job. As someone on the board pointed out (sorry I can’t remember who) Even the Queen has held a job as a mechanic, and all the male members of the royal family have served in the Armed Forces..
April 18th, 2008 21:26
I was referring to the ones at the wing cermony B. The way they looked at each other while walking, (don’t really know where they were walking to) can be described as anything but brotherly. As for the link, check out the William and Harry unlimted site, they’ve got a few from that day.
April 18th, 2008 21:38
about autumn kelly and peter philips, this is a old story of them about kate middleton is different from chelsy and the other royal gf’s
kate middleton is prince williams. who is next to the throne., thats why kate middleton is famous nowadays.
April 18th, 2008 22:01
Joydrop - Where do you get the information that Kate “followed” William to university, took the same course he did just to meet him and that she has no friends? How could you possibly know this? I see that the backbiting and repetitive sniping about Kate Middleton is starting again and I don’t understand this obsession about her “not having a job”. You don’t know every intimate detail about Kate, William or any of them and neither does the media. I have to agree with MGR and his/her comments - this is all getting so redunant and boring again. There’s so many other things to talk about with the BRF besides the “evil Kate”.
I wish some of you would just get over this same topic once and for all. And by the way, don’t think that Princess Diana didn’t have her little plans and ploys to land Prince Charles. Not exactly “organic” whatever that is supposed to mean. Everyone has an agenda - whether it’s for true love, money, privilege, whatever. If Kate marries William, you don’t know what she’s going to have to be doing for the rest of her life. Her life will never be the same again - just like Diana’s and Fergie’s. That is not an easy family to marry into and they can be brutal at times (or at least the courtiers can be and even some members of the family, including Prince Philip).
April 18th, 2008 22:05
DAGY - Very well said and very true. I wish some of these people would just be happy for William and Kate if they are happy with each other. But sadly, some people want to see misery in everything and can’t wish other people well. We see that on this site on a regular basis. It seems misery does love company.
April 18th, 2008 22:06
not obsessed ,just curious as to why you would want a lazy princess?Is it love if it is orchestrated?

oh yeh ,William proved he’s ready for marriage with that wonderfully demeaning game of hang the cd’s on the nipples,or the mooning.he’s ready alright.
April 18th, 2008 22:10
I don’t need to see William all over Kate in public. He acts like a gentleman and doesn’t feel the need to show everything to the media and the public just because they expect or demand him to. How do some of you know what they do in private? They might be very passionate when they are alone. I know plenty of people that don’t need to let everyone see their sexual and physical feelings for their significant other - they are private people. So leave Kate and William alone. If Harry wants to be all over Chelsy that’s his business and if William is more reserved in public than Harry, that’s William’s business. Some of you are like peeping toms.
April 18th, 2008 22:11
got the book actually ,but thankyou anyway me.
April 18th, 2008 22:14
I was referring to the stag party,and how it shows how imature heand harry really still are.
they also showed a blantant disrespect for women.
April 18th, 2008 22:20
I do agree with you Jenny about that stag party. I do think in many ways Wills and Harry are still very immature and do show a certain disrespect for women. I also think that the drinking, especially with Harry, has gotten way out of hand and has been that way for a long time. I’m sorry to say but my feeling is that Harry is an alcoholic but his “friends” can’t stop him or don’t wish to but he definitely could use some help. It’s too bad William doesn’t set a better example for his younger brother. Did I really need to see the future King of England’s butt hanging out? Not really, even if it’s a cute butt but still - have a little class. This is why I can’t accept Kate always being condemned because quite honestly, William is far from perfect and so is Harry. I’m not a British citizen but if I were, I’d be pretty ticked off about the amount of taxpayer money spent on these younger royals from Wills to Harry to Beatrice and Eugenie - it’s really a slap in the face to the average British citizen/taxpayer so I can’t applaud the Royal Family on that aspect.
April 18th, 2008 22:28
good point Jade,I think they both need therapy ,before they decide to settle down.
April 18th, 2008 22:59
I agree Jenny.
Kate seems lazy and William still seems immature.
April 18th, 2008 23:20
How do you know she is Lazy???????????
By the way, PLEASE for the love of GOD be logical……….The Queen was NEVER A MECHANIC. For your own sake, do not say those idiotic things, you will not be taken seriously or respected!!!!!!!!! She doesn’t even wipe her own royal nose! She is a lovely and honrable woman who carries around an empty purse, cannot dress herself in the morning, and whose best friends are her pups, she has not held a job in her entire life! Lovely, lovely Princess Diana was a mere 19 years old when she held a simple job for show. Stop being imbasilic and have an intelligent comment, if the Royal Family did not like Kate, we would not see her shadow!!! Everything they do is orchestrated, if she wants to go along for the ride - let her be! You all are so absolutely boring!!!! Can you not have an intelligent debate and bring something different to the party?????????????????
How many people either a) don’t answer you at all b) try to debate you till they turn blue or C) just quit the site all together??
April 18th, 2008 23:26
The three choices have happened.
Everybody cool off, time to nap.
April 19th, 2008 00:08
Take a chill pill!!!!!!!
April 19th, 2008 01:03
It’s true - the Queen learned a bit about mechanics during the war and may have volunteered a bit doing that “work” but it was never a job. Diana was a nanny for awhile (including a nanny to an American couple and their son who were living in England) and she worked in a nursery school but I do have to say she did these jobs long before she was ever engaged to Charles - BUT, she still had Earl Spencer’s money helping her throughout until she married Charles.
The point is - let’s please stop constantly ripping Kate Middleton apart - none of these people are perfect - none of us is perfect. We don’t have any right to just assume things about people we have never met and don’t know personally. We can have our points of view and agree to disagree but enough already with the constant tirade about Kate being “lazy”, Kate’s family being “common”, Kate being a “goldigger”. Why would you continue to single this one woman out when basically the entire royal family is one BIG dysfunctional family and has been for generations. Just look at the way King George V (The Queen’s grandfather) treated his own children, including the Queen’s father who stuttered all his life from having suffered psychologically at the hands of his father. You need to start reading about the history of this family and understand the root causes for much of their behaviors towards other people and each other. And lastly, we need to stop going on and on and on ad nauseum about how awful Kate Middleton is because you really don’t have all the facts and neither do I. It’s just getting quite boring and is driving people from the site. Again, there are alot of other things to discuss. Focus on those other things - this Kate obsession is ridiculous.
April 19th, 2008 03:21
I agree Jade these debates are getting a little tiresome especially when they are about the same topic. However, I will make one or two comments of my own about what has been said.
First of all, any job no matter how big or small is still a job. This means that Diana and the Queen contributed to society in one way or another. I think that when dicussing Kate we should look at Diana rather than the Queen. The Queen was born into the RF whilst Diana married into it, just like Kate would.
Before marriage, Diana did a lot of charity work. I have hear people talk about how she would work at a care home for the elderly. If you would like the evidence it is one of the programmes on youtube, just type in princess diana to find it. Also, she did not have a good set of qualifications. Actually, I’m not sure if she had any. She went to finishing school and dropped out. At the end of the day, she took up a job that was suitable for her. It gave her the chance to work with children, which she was good at and allowed her to work. Thus, she contributed to society.
I believe that people have a problem with Kate not working because she does have the opportunities that Diana did not. The higher qualifications means that Kate has the potential to get a very good job. In fact, if she had been working since university she would be doing very well for herself by now. Kate has had the chance to work and did not take it up.
In my opinion, you cannot compare Diana to Kate. They were of different ages, had different skills and were different people. However, Diana’s courtship with Charles lasted 6 months until they were engaged. During which she did work. Kate has dated William for 4/5 years, she left university 3 or 4 years ago. During that time she has only had a small job at Jigsaw. If you read the comment made when she left, you will find that she was a “special case”, she had a lot of time off. Whilst it was a jobi did not make use of her ability. Which is a shame.
I have nothing against the parents helping their children out. Diana’s job did not pay well compared to her normal lifestyle, therefore she would need some help. Kate could be earning a very good wage if she had worked since uni, but she hasn’t, so oh well, she will need some help. I know that I will need my parent’s help when I am older, so that I can go to university.
Overall, there is a difference between being part of the RF e.g. the Queen and not having a job and being a girlfriend i.e. Kate or Diana. I feel that Kate should have worked. If only to give herself something to fall back on if they break up. After all, if Kate and PW break up she will find it harder to get a job. She will have to explain why she did not do anything for those years and I know that an employer would not buy: ” I was waiting for my boyfriend to marry me”.
But now can we please move back to Autumn and Peter??? We are all very off topic at the moment.
So to start us off, I wonder what the wedding dress will be like. Does anybody know where the reception will be?
P.S Thanks Sara
PP.S. sorry for the long post.
April 19th, 2008 05:45
Just one question before we leave this topic (for now): What do people think Kate is doing all the time? I mean all the time we don’t see her. Which is 99% of her time? She is not shopping, we see pictures then. She is not partying, we see those pics too. So what do you think she is doing? Nothing? Well, she is obviously not sitting on the sofa watching TV and eating all day. You say she has no friends, so she can’t spend time with them..Her parents are working, they run a successful company so they are busy. What you think she is doing that you think is so bad? And where is she doing this? Where can’t the papz find her?
Personally I am totally sure she is doing something, something we will learn about when she get engaged and become an official person.
‘BTW who are really upset that “she doesn’t do anything”. Except for a few posters on the internet and a few anti-royalist commenting in Daily Mail? And the Astralians, I think their papers have been the ones to put her down for this. Why not the “serious” papers and other news media in Britain? Do they know things we don’t?
Some media know more about the royal family than they report. The royal commentator for Sky News f.inst was an usher when prince Edward got married and today he is a godparent for his son, James.
April 19th, 2008 06:19
Well, I would want her to do some work and I am a royalist. I do like Kate just not that aspect of her. I question her work ethic.
April 19th, 2008 07:24
Work ethic? Wasn’t she a good student? Hasn’t she done sports? Didn’t she turn up every day she was supposed to when she had a job at Jigsaw? Has she shown a lack of work ethic in what she has been doing? She should be judged from what we know, not from what we don’t know/are guessing .
April 19th, 2008 07:26
You most definitely should question her work ethic if she is slated to possibly be Queen. For God’s sake, volunteer to do something! I mean, why be so secretive with what she is doing, if she is supposedly working, as someone here said. I don’t get that. She displays nothing that would say she is qualified to be Queen. My word, she’s not some ordinary person dating an ordinary guy. She may hold a very high position one day! She MOST CERTAINLY deserves some scrutiny!!
April 19th, 2008 08:05
I am not denying that she worked hard at university but if you read the articles after she left Jigsaw, the employees reveal rather a lot. As I said above she was a “special case”. She worked for a maximum of 3 days a week and had more holidays during her time at Jigsaw than I have had in my life. If she had a good work ethic, she would have worked hard there and done her best to ensure that she got a career. To save me having to repeat myself, can you please look back at my ridiculously long comment above, that should explain my views.
Thank you.
April 19th, 2008 09:00
I am talking about her work ethic while working.If she had a three day workweek, did she do what she was supposed to do while there or was she not doing her job? It is about doing what you say you will do. Does she? Have any employers or teachers or fellow workers/students said that she is lazy and not doing what she is supposed to? If she becomes Queen, will she do what is she supposed to do then? How can you say she won’t? I trhink she is spending her time now doing things that will make her a very respected member of the royal family. Just wait and see!
April 19th, 2008 09:04
MGR -
For your Imformation - During WW2 the Queen was infact a Mechanic - And To be honest if it wasn’t for her Britain May be in Termoil Right now - so if you dont have anything un-insulting to say, or even something to do with the topic of Autumn and Peters Wedding - please do us all a favour and don’t say anything.
April 19th, 2008 09:51
But dagy that is all very well and good but can you prove it? Can you prove that she is working hard? Or can you even suggest what she may be doing? I know that the only proof I have is what I read in the newspapers, but that is better than nothing. The newspapers have not mentioned any new job, because if they did we would know about it as it would appear in most national papers. If you can find me some reliable evidence to suggest that she is doing some constructive with her time, then you have my full support. Otherwise, you are just speculating and suggesting in the same way I am.
April 19th, 2008 09:54
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=492553&in_page_id=1770
This is a link which contains many quotes from her previous work collegues. This should support my view.
April 19th, 2008 10:33
I’ll say it again: KM worked 4 days a week at Jigsaw, thanks to her (image, g/f of PW) she made the company earn more than what was not even expected. Many girls in Mahiki/Bouji imitated her way of dressing, yes she wore many Jigsaw clothing and accessories. She doesn’t work there any more and still she is googled in the top 50 persons around the world just to see what she wore.
An extract from a very recent career (actual trimester) magazine, you will not find it in gossip magazines:
QUOTE
If you’ve a yen for travelling, a job as a buyer, choosing lines from suppliers around the world, may suit.
‘Everyone wants to be a buyer,’ says Mrs Seaman. ‘Prince William’s girlfriend Kate Middleton, who was a buyer for Jigsaw, has raised the job’s profile.’
There are plenty of opportunities for sales assistants to rise through the ranks to management roles. At the top of the tree, a manager of a large London store on Oxford Street can earn £100,000.
UNQUOTE
If she doesn’t end up getting married to PW, she will have MANY JOB opportunities - any employer, not her will be on the grabs to have this high profile girl, even if she ends up being the ex.
I suggest to google alot and read read read from SERIOUS to gossip magazines. I don’t suggest to read read read forums - the posters, not all, but do distort analysis of a person. There is a saying (this goes to forum pages that like to brainwash, specially the not so royalty watchers) “say a lie 1 million times and it will be true”, very confusing when posters say I read it “somewhere” that she did this and that.
B thanks for the DM link - that is true seeking for the facts (even if the articles are true or false) but the back up doesn’t come from another poster, less from a forum.
April 19th, 2008 10:36
I don’t know, therefore I don’t judge. Simple as that.
April 19th, 2008 10:50
Right ! We don’t know much of what she’s upto, the press doesn’t know, if not we would have already known. I think they know that KM is not to be underestimated, I’m pretty sure they have by this time the facts and figures - if I was able to find extracts like the above from a Career Magazine - they (journalists) should also have an idea.
Another saying “no news is good news”…people are wondering, three ways; KM bashers, KM fans, KM watchers, what did she do past weekend, this weekend, weekdays. They are all clueless to what celebration was it past tuesday - ha no story as of yet to that equals no publishing in any tabs. After all you need a story to publish with pics, if you are cluess what are you going to publish !
April 19th, 2008 11:07
In reference to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, same as above read read read…and you may find interesting facts and figures like:
For some of the war, the Queen - then Princess Elizabeth - was kept at Windsor Castle with her sister Margaret. In 1940 Princess Elizabeth then joined the ATS ( Auxiliary Territorial Service) as a mechanic. An ATS Mechanic learns how to change a tire, and is exactly the word title AUXILIARY - not actually knows how to fix a motor, gear box, or the likes - was an AUXILIARY. The good part is that this made a change in the course of Monarchy history, thanks to her going to learn outside the palace as an ATS, she decided to put her own children in outside schools, when previous to her - the BRF r schooling and tutoring was inside the palace.
I am a real admirer to HM, Happy Birthday to you (this coming monday 21st April) and may long live the Queen !

I hope when/if Km becomes PW’s bride she surprises everyone. I said it numerous times as well, none of us know what is actually going on with KM. She is dating PW and some accomodations are needed for her but I don’t feel she is lazy. I for one will wait to hear from legitimate sources about her work ethic before I make such harsh judgements against her. I agree PW has been with her a long time. I hardly think he is with her as a friend.

B- thank you for the link, that was an interesting article, even her co workers didn’t think much of her work ethic.
DailyMail artlcle …………………………….
…….. A fellow staff member said: “Kate is a nice enough girl but she was never what you might call committed to the job.
“She never worked full-time and appeared to take an inordinate amount of time off to go jetting round the world with her boyfriend.
“It certainly rubbed a few people here up the wrong way. To be told she would be resting for a while ‘looking at other things’ didn’t exactly come as a surprise
…………………………………..DMail
From people who actually worked with her, amazing insight into her non-work ethic.

“It certainly rubbed a few poeple here up the WRONG WAY”….reading is very important.

A NEW article about Kate, She’s NOT making a good impression it seems!!!!!!!!!!!
…………………………………………
Kate Middleton’s chances of becoming a princess are fading fast, but Chelsy Davy seems to be winning plenty of royal supporters.
Kate, the girl once considered the perfect partner for Prince William, has fallen out of favour, judging by the whisper campaign being waged against her.
Her big mistake, according to senior royal sources, was giving up her job with British fashion chain Jigsaw last year.
They point out that Princess Diana worked up until the day she became engaged to Prince Charles, while Sarah Ferguson, who married Prince Andrew in 1986, and Sophie Rhys-Jones, who married Prince Edward in 1999, both kept their jobs even after their royal weddings.
But Kate, 26, seems to be wasting her art history degree and is just waiting to get an engagement ring on her finger.

AHA, same article as the New Idea is it not.
April 19th, 2008 13:13
Source: Dickie Arbiter, the Queen’s FORMER press officer. How inconvenient for the EX press officer, he lost his job.
The rest have no name/namely sources, why, obvious, if they are wrong, they wouldn’t want to be pointed for it.
Still doesn’t say what and where she is I’d say the past 6 months. Half a year and at low profile ! It must really suck not knowing what crap to write.

“But Kate’s biggest downfall is probably her desperate need to become a princess. ‘Even if she dived into the sea to save a drowning child, she would be accused of doing it to improve her image,’ a London public relations expert says.”

According to whom, a PR London expert who conveniently has no name ! LOL. Why be scared to not say I SAY SO. Think about it Merrick…there is two ways to interpret: the easy way (which is yours) and the intricate way - why so. If I am an expert in PR, then I would give a green light to publish my expertise, but no, he/she (pr person) didn’t do so: so we don’t even know for example - if this PR person is pretty, ugly, thin or fat, stable or unstable, demure or not, an example or not. At least give me the name and then sure thing will happen - journalist will investigate the PR expert source, after all you wouldn’t want to find out later on that the person was a total wrong opinion or not.
Its up to you to choose when reading and no names are stated for a bashing article and sides.

Chelsy Davy has been invited to peter autumns wedding reports the DM. Wonder if it has anything to do with the alleged serious talks PH had with her parents?
April 19th, 2008 14:10
I’d love to see both Princes with their g/f enjoying P&A wedding. Although I think its a private ceremony, therefore perhaps no media “inside”, perhaps we will see pap pics from the outside, thats if the BRF makes backdoor entrances for the most MOBBED personalities, i.e. KM and CD, then we will probably get info from people who are inside.
Just like todays event, supposedly only one official photographer will be taking “one” official pic of the christening of baby E&S.
I hope its more than one, I’d love to see who of the Royal Family are there today.
April 19th, 2008 14:16
My posts are not directed at anyone …….
I’m just linking stories , articles in todays news….as a matter of current interest.
I have no desire to get personal ……..
April 19th, 2008 14:30
I know Merrick, I wouldn’t either, although when I post my opinions, if I get prooved wrong in the past, present or future I give face to it - admitting
No hard feeling Okay, quote from Merrick:

:flowers: I enjoy forums, but I do read carefully, and I also admit to dislike when bangheading ocurrs. Anyway I hope you don’t ever leave us, no one needs to agree with everyone.

thankyou for the links merrick,keep them coming.
April 19th, 2008 14:47
welcome.
April 19th, 2008 14:51
That article from the Morung Express is just ridiculous.(this is a paper from India??? Moron would be better..) Some nameless person has read a few negative snippets from certain questionable “papers” around the world and made his own article. Nothing new, nothing true. I would not be surprised if it was written by somebody that reads the “Royal Forum” A lot. haha.
April 19th, 2008 15:05
so basically unless you worship kate middleton your stupid.wow ,I thought different points of view can be a good thing.good luck on getting “princess Dolittle” to the altar
April 19th, 2008 15:21
basically not, a very good argueable point of view yes.
April 19th, 2008 15:57
Is it me you are wishing good luck in getting “princess dolittle” to the altar? Well, I’m sure William is more than capable of getting her there himself, not needing my help. But I’ll be watching and thinking it’s nice that two people who love each other is getting married. And I”ll be wishing them all kinds of happiness in their marriage.

sarcasm,is lost on some people.As for kate getting William to the altar.Every year for four years now .”it will happen next year”,or the next ,or the next,or the next
April 19th, 2008 16:11
I have not heard that William or Kate have said anything about when they are getting married. You can’t blame them and critize them for what the not so seroius papers say. But it is normal to think that for every year that passes the closer they get to a wedding , as long as they are a couple.So maybe next year?

can you blame chelsy,they contantly reject her,wonder if they apologized for the oversite in the first place.
April 19th, 2008 16:30
thankyou for the links, me
April 19th, 2008 16:33
Its smart to point out who said what
April 19th, 2008 16:36
No one here (at least) has ever blamed CD, I think its the papers who keep up with the wrong stories, try to correct, make updates, and it goes on.
Bashing, lurid, gross, ugly and bring her/him down stories sell more than the nice ones.
April 19th, 2008 16:52
true,me true
April 19th, 2008 17:16
Can we once and for all end the back and forth bickering on Kate Middleton. How do you know she doesn’t do work for her family’s business? And even if she isn’t working right now, it’s really no one’s business. I don’t believe Kate is lazy - but that’s my opinion and I do believe that if she does marry William, you will see her do some wonderful things for charities and as William’s consort. But again - just my POV.
Let’s get off the Kate stuff, even just for one day - PLEASE!!
April 19th, 2008 17:18
ok jade ,see you again sunday
April 19th, 2008 18:15
Well people tend to push her into any story or line of thought…for example, this weekend stories of royalty…there they (press) go, they(press) had to push her into a Chelsy Davy article, oh Chelsy’s friends said so. Read it. LOL
Complete madness
April 20th, 2008 16:40
Could it be that Chelsey D is getting an invite because some of Autumn’s family’s spots opened up?
April 21st, 2008 20:48
I think that Harry probably informed someone that he and Chelsy were back together and the oversite was corrected.
