  Well guys we will be able to see alot more of the wedding because what the Royal website stated in the mailbox question & answer.

  The forthcoming wedding of Peter Philips (son of The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips) to Autumn Kelly will take place at St George’s Chapel in Windsor and will be a private, family event. No television cameras will be allowed inside the Chapel during the service. However, television cameras and photographers will witness, from outside the Chapel, the arrival of the Bride and Groom, and their departure with their attendants and immediate family, following the service.

  So I do believe that there will be some coverage of the guest arriving and leaving. We just have to wait for the coverage to begin. I feel we all will be up very early in the morning.

  Autumn looked wonderful and happy…the dress very simple and elegant…love the color of the bridesmaid combo of spring and summer color… they all looked so happy…the royals do know how to throw a wedding plus how to control the event itself…again, congratulations and best wishes to the couple!!!!

  Autumn and Peter looked wonderful.
  Everyone looked very nice. It was good to see the Queen and Pr. Phillip attend.
  Nice to see Pr. Harry and Chelsy attend also.
  I’m quite suprised Pr. William did not attend. Amazing.

  Congratulations to the new Bride and Groom.

  I think Chelsy hat was pretty awful too - worse than Chelsy’s but for some reason, the royal women and the royal girlfriends wear the most ridiculous hats, especially Beatrice and Eugenie. I think only the Queen wears proper hats. Anyway, Peter looked handsome and dapper, Autumn looked positive gorgeous and the bridesmaids looked beautiful as well.

  Chelsy looks happy and smiling.
  It is nice she got to meet the Queen.
  Kate’s hat makes her look 40.

  I find it odd that William went to Jecca’s for her brother’s wedding. This will keep people suspicious for weeks! Hahahahahahahaha!

  The wedding is beautiful and everyone looks great really.

• Chloe
  May 17th, 2008 17:21

  I am still really confused of why Kate was there without William. I know that he attended another wedding but why didn’t she just go there with him? Or why did she just not go at all? It just seems kind of weird to me, almost as if he said “I won’t be able to go” to which she said “Oh but I’ll just go for you” i dunno, weird. She did not look too happy in the picture I saw and standing next to Chelsy she looks a lot older than she really is.

  Where is Will, I need some of his insight! I just am getting a really funny feeling about William not being at the wedding and Kate going alone, anyone else???

• joanne m.
  May 17th, 2008 17:27

  Can of worms opens……..sorry.
  Could this be why Kate was in the back seat of the taxi cab in camera view with her Ex boyfriend recently. Letting William know she can do the same thing, Hang out with an old boyfriend?

  Do we get to see Autumn in a going away outfit? Are they going on honeymoon soon?

• Rman
  May 17th, 2008 18:41

  Chloe, Kate acted as a representive for William at the wedding since he could not be there. It’s the same thing Charles & Diana did and it works. Although they are not married as yet, William is giving the public clear signals that his relationship with her is becoming more of an official footing. But slowly. She knows members of the royal family and very good friends with Peter & Autumn and Zara. joanne m, I think you was joking but no that’s not why he wasn’t there. People are disappointed that William wasn’t there and they think of it as he is snubbing his cousin and you can tell that’s not the case. Everyone who attended looked happy and really seemed to enjoy the day. I wish we could have seen the ceremony inside but I respect their privacy.

• merrick
  May 17th, 2008 19:11

  William going to his ex girlfriends brother’s wedding instead of his cousins, strikes me as a bit odd. Maybe Kate was invited simply because she William’s girlfriend and a friend of Peter and Autumns and nothing more.Maybe she simply represented herself as a invited guest and that is all.
  There’s more to this than meets the eye and it will come out, it always does eventually with William and Kate.
  Peter’s cousin, William the one day heir to the British Throne, leaves to go to his old girlfriend brother’s wedding and his girlfriend goes instead, it’s quite odd. More rose coloring going on, in the press , but to me Kate looks quite miserable there, with her downturned mouth.

• BRW
  May 17th, 2008 20:06

  Hi Merrick/All,

  I agree that it does seem very odd however it may be as simple as William was invited to his friends wedding before Autumn & Peter’s was announced.

  Or, in my opinion, more likely, that William knew that the press would aggressively focus on himself and Kate and he didn’t want to take anything away from Autumn & Peter’s special day. So the decision to go to his friends wedding was made slightly simpler for him.

  I’m not buying into another Kate and Wills split scenario - If they had/have split I doubt Kate would have been there at all…

  Steven

• merrick
  May 17th, 2008 20:10

  I agree BRW. You have made excellent points.
  I didn’t say split in my previous post, you did. I just feel there’s always more to it with William and Kate and we usually find out later.
  I think you are on target, that William didn’t want the media focused on him or his relationship.
  Still I do think Kate looks somewhat downturned.

• Me
  May 17th, 2008 20:53

  Look at it in another angle, she was there, the BRF wouldn’t have accepted her there if it was any fishy theory.

• Rman
  May 17th, 2008 20:59

  Me, you just got it right. That is what I have tried to tell everyone. Now the Daily Mail is talking about their trip that they will be going on next week. I wish that the press would leave them alone but I know that won’t happen. They are expecting an engagement out of the trip.

• Me
  May 17th, 2008 22:27

  And they will go, they will be at the Villa Ambrilla Mustique…just wait and see the pics.

  Rman, Wills knows what he’s doing !

• bluefire
  May 17th, 2008 23:54

  the wedding was great. it seems that everyone is pretty and glam! especially the bride. i wonder the plans for their honeymoon:)

• Trixie
  May 18th, 2008 03:34

  Thank you for the picture of Kate and Chelsy. I have to admit that neither looks particularly good in it. Both, IMO, look older than they are. Though in Kate’s case this can also be due to the rather old fashioned black hat she’s wearing. I’d love to see a pic of their whole outfits though.
  I agree that the arrangement is rather odd.I understand that William and Kate didn’t wnat to upstage the bride and groom. However, I would have expected Kate to join William in Kenya instead especially since this will be his last holiday before he joins the navy for 3 or 4 months. One would have expected that he’d like to spend this holiday with his g/f and not his ex’s family.

• dagy
  May 18th, 2008 03:39

  One picture of Kate where she isn’t smiling and you know there’s a break?
  It’s amazing how much some are willing to read into a picture. If she had been smiling broadly, we know that some people would have known what that meant too. And the conclusion would be negative in such a case too. She can’t win.

• Trixie
  May 18th, 2008 04:01

  I didn’t say anything about a break. I said Kate looks old in the one pic I saw of her (as does Chelsy) and I stand by that. Neither g/f looked good, IMO.
  And William’s behaviour IS odd. Sorry, but I cannot imagine any man I know making this sort of decision. I’m sure he has his reasons but from the outside the whole arrangement is strange. I hope that he indeed goes on vacation with Kate as well since she obviously deserves his attention.

• merrick
  May 18th, 2008 04:19

  I agree Trixie, no one said “break”, but I agree with you, it’s just kind of odd. I’m waiting for this vacation that may or may not come. Why take yet another vacation with Kate, when he’ll just be returning from a nice trip and fun with old friends in Kenya,even if it was a wedding. Didn’t he go on holiday last month or was it longer?

  The press was already comparing him to Air Miles Andy when he did his flights recently. Is this the last time William will be free to spend time with Kate for awhile? Just curious.

• Trixie
  May 18th, 2008 05:05

  He’ll be with the navy for 3 months from June till September so this is his early “summer holiday”, I think. Usually people have about 4-6 weeks of holiday per year in the UK, this would be his 3rd week. So he would have one week left around Christams or new years…

• Ela
  May 18th, 2008 10:19

  Wishing Peter and Autumn all the best… by the way.. I can’t believe what I read on another royal forum. I thought men like this were a thing of the past.. clearly not.- Love this place:)

  “Why is it that the men who marry into the RF are usually quiet and unassuming, while the women almost always make huge waves.

  Could it be that men understand hierarchies — like the Army — better, while women see events more in terms of webs of relationships?…… John”

• mapleleaf
  May 18th, 2008 13:19

  Hi everyone! I’ve never posted on this site before, but I felt as if I could contribute to the conversation in a small way, so I decided to post.
  I read on another site, and I also read on the web, that Batian Craig’s wedding date was set more than 1 year ago. Peter and Autumn confirmed their actual wedding date 3 months ago.
  I think it would’ve been highly inappropriate for Wills to say to Batian “oh, I won’t be in your wedding, even though I’ve agreed to be a part of it. I’m backing out because my cousin recently decided to use the same date, and even though your wedding has been planned longer, he’s more important than you.”

  I’m sure Wills wouldn’t have used those words, but the idea behind the actions would’ve been the same no matter what words were used. It would’ve been incredibly rude and insensitive of Wills to do that to his friend.

• merrick
  May 18th, 2008 13:46

  I think the whole Jecca- William friendship is a nice one. He clearly cherishes his friendship with her.
  Kate looked sad yesterday I think.
  I think Chelsy looked much more comfortable and the press can no longer report that Chelsy hasn’t met the Royals or Queen.
  Both girls had the same footing yesterday.
  Kate though without her prince.
  I think Kate was simply a guest and William’s invited girlfriend, despite the press trying to spin she represented William, I just saw her as a guest.
  Jecca may be “the girl” we never see. He does seem to have a deep friendship with her.Didn’t he go see her after Unviersity or something? William is not as predictable as I once thought.Ha! He certainly suprised me with his actions around Peter’s wedding. I am still amazed.
  I am waiting for this vacation with William and Kate, because she certainly didn’t look happy yesterday, as if a romantic holiday awaited her.
  William certainly suprised with this event.
  Maybe he’ll have a ring for Kate on next vacation. She looked sad yesterday.

• dagy
  May 18th, 2008 14:13

  Maybe she had read the Daily Mail yesterday morning. They were very rude to her.I would have cried if it was avout me. Maybe she had been really upset earlier in the day because of that article.

  Or maybe she smiled and laughed and was her usual good self all afternoon. Just one shot that was a bit unfortunate. The press hasn’t made anything out of her mood so far.

• MGR
  May 18th, 2008 19:56

  I respect everyone’s opinion, but how can we say she looked “sad” from 2 pictures?? Granted, we are all speculating…………

• jenny
  May 18th, 2008 20:04

  as always that is what we do,sometimes we are right .sometimes we are wrong.nature of the speculating game.

• Jess
  May 19th, 2008 06:38

  MGR - she looked like someone had died. Look at her eyes and tell me she looks happy. Because to me I see someone who looks very lost and sad. William should have been there to support her not in Africa.
  I’m going to be honest here and some of you may not like it but I don’t think William cares very much about how Kate feels or he would be there. Not the attitude I want to see of someone who is wanting to make this girl his bride. William needs to take some responsibility in this relationship and start acting like he’s in a close relationship with her by giving her a bit more support then he is. Or I think she’d be better off with someone else who’ll treat her properly.

• MGR
  May 19th, 2008 07:24

  Jess, Reluctantly, I must agree with you. I am reading it however as William is at fault here, not Kate. I just don’t want to think he turned out to be a cad, it seems to me this is the complete opposite of what his mom wanted him to be, and it makes me feel awful for all involved.

• rosettaresearch
  May 19th, 2008 07:56

  Where are the pics of Kate? I can’t find them.

  William skipping his cousin’s wedding to attend the wedding of the brother of an ex-girlfriend strikes me as a bit too Camilla/Charles/Diana-ish to make me comfortable. I hope he is not making the same mistake as his father.

• trixie
  May 19th, 2008 08:05

  Kate isn’t Diana. She has known William for almost 7 years now and she also knows Jecca. They’ve been together on holiday in Kenya in 2005 and in the Carribean in 2006. If she fears that there’s something going on between William and Jecca, she could call it quits at any time. After all she’s not married and doesn’t have children with William so that there’s nothing holding her back from leaving him.
  I also think that the press makes much more out of William and Jecca than there ever was. She was never a long term girlfriend more like a summer fling during his gap year. In 2003 CH officially denied there was anything going on between them. If they wanted to be together, they could. Nothing is holding William back either.
  Still, it was very insensitive for William to have Kate attend the Windsor wedding alone. I’m sure she felt a little lost in the presence of all the happy couples. But then she wasn’t forced to attend either, she could as well have stayed at home.

• LRose
  May 19th, 2008 08:22

  (Hi, I’ve been lurking here for a couple of months and have finally decided to post.)

  Doesn’t it seem odd to anyone else (leaving Kate out of it for a moment) that PW chose to go to the wedding of a friend over the wedding of his cousin?

• LRose
  May 19th, 2008 08:32

  what I meant was, it would have made more sense for him to attend the family wedding, and for Kate to attend the friend’s wedding. That is how I think most couple’s would have handled the double booking.

• Rman
  May 19th, 2008 12:22

  rosettaresearch, you can see three pictures of Kate & Chelsy at the wedding on The Royalist website. Even though William wasn’t there, he sent Kate to the wedding letting everyone know that she is a ver important part of his life, she is friends of his family and that is a role that she carried out dutyfully and gracefully. Now we have the Order of the Garter ceremony coming up and I think she will be there. Here appearence at the Garter ceremony will be an important one and that will speak for itself.

• Jade Falzon
  May 19th, 2008 13:10

  Why do some people insist on believing the worst about Kate and William? One or two pictures of her and you immediately assume she was sad. Can’t you understand by now that Kate is firmly entrenched with the Royal Family and is going on a romantic vacation with William this week? She more than likely enjoyed herself at the wedding and William thinks enough of her to have her represent him at a family function.
  Let’s give these two a break for once - speculation is one thing but assuming the worst all the time is just ridiculous. I believe these two have a solid relationship now and they will eventually get engaged - when the time is right.
  And Kate doesn’t look old at all - She’s close to 30 and she looks wonderful. I don’t understand why you feel the need to pick this woman apart constantly - what in the world has she ever done to you??

• Claudius
  May 19th, 2008 13:18

  Well said Jade Falzon, there are more pictures of the wedding on Rex Features website. Somehow there are pictures there that aren’t published on other sites.

• merrick
  May 19th, 2008 13:49

  The relationship looks more like a soap opera at this point.
  He dumped Kate before, and took her back and has not married her yet, or proposed and went to an old girlfriend’s families wedding leaving Kate in the UK.

  I think Kate was simply an invited guest and she went representing herself only. HRH Prince William certainly did not need representation by Kate, when his Grandmother the Queen was there and his Father Prince Charles was there and his brother Prince Harry was there. Kate was there as a guest and William’s girlfriend. Just as Chelsy was there as a guest and Pr. Harry’s girlfriend. Still the whole Kate situation looked awkward.
  The spin the press goes to to give Kate more importance than the Royals themselves is amazing.

• Rman
  May 19th, 2008 14:01

  No Merrick, no one is giving her any importance than the royals but she is important because she is the long time companion of the secong in line to the throne. But she not important than the senior royals. I don’t know where you are getting that from. Don’t make that mistake. When she marries William her status will rise. Same goes for Chelsy. The media need to give these people a break and let them live their lives. But everybody have to admit that these people are holding up very well to media pressure. The key is to not pay attention to the stuff and do your own thing. This is what they are doing. I know they must be getting good advice for other royals that has been through this.

• Jade Falzon
  May 19th, 2008 14:55

  Well said RMAN - I’d like to see how most people would hold up under this constant scrutiny, constant criticizing, constant rumors and outright lies, and having their every move watched. I don’t think anyone would really enjoy it. There is nothing awkard or wrong about the “whole Kate situation”. There is no situation in terms of all the negative gossip. It’s very clear why William went to Jecca’s brother’s wedding and Kate went to Peter’s wedding.
  MAPLELEAF was dead-on with his/her comments. Saying Kate looked like someone died or looked so sad and alone is ridiculous. If she didn’t want to go to the wedding, she wouldn’t have gone and if she didn’t want to go on holiday with William to Mustique she wouldn’t be going and he wouldn’t be taking her if he didn’t want some private, quality time with her.
  Some people just can’t wait to see them break-up and that’s a very sad statement - why people can’t seem to wish her and Wills well is beyond me. I’m glad they are waiting to get married. Charles waited until he was 32 and he was quite literally pushed into a marriage by his father, his grandmother and the Queen. If he had gone by his own instincts and not married Diana, there wouldn’t have been such a sad, unhappy marriage and a traumatic divorce that put those boys in the middle of such a public spectacle.
  I want to see William and Kate happy - whether it’s with each other or other people.
  There’s enough bitterness, negativity and misery in the world without adding to it. Words have a very powerful effect and we all need to choose our words with some caution and kindness to other people.

• Rman
  May 19th, 2008 15:19

All we know is that she is doing what quit her job for which is photorgaphy. Just because we don’t see her going to a job dosen’t mean that she’s not working. I don’t know why people are so negitive about this girl. It’s so tierd.

• maddie
  May 19th, 2008 22:18

  Right Jade. Alot of people don’t want to see them happy. I do believe they are very happy and will enjoy their vacation together. Mustique is very beautiful and would be a perfect spot for a proposal. Aaaah. I believe they did the right thing by Kate attending the wedding and will attending the wedding that was planned before his cousins. I think Kate is closer to peter and autumn rather than Jecca craigs brother. It wouldn’t make sense to send her to that wedding. She certainly looks comfortable with her future in-laws.

• Jade Falzon
  May 20th, 2008 00:21

  JENNY - How sad that you’ll never stop with the negative, nasty comments. There’s no need for it really. You want to see William happy but you say some awful things about Kate. Well here’s a newsflash - William is obviously in love with her and she loves him and that just kills people like you who hate her. I think it’s disgraceful that you say she’s using William like a Sugar Daddy. That’s ridiculous and mean-spirited. If William felt he was being used in that way, he’s a big enough boy and independent-minded enough to end it with her. But he doesn’t want to end it so just accept it. Kate’s not going away regardless of your dislike of her and your constant negative remarks.

• Jade Falzon
  May 20th, 2008 00:23
