That does seem like a possibility what Ked is talking about, and seems a common sense thing to do.

Needless to say, I think many of us here will feel a lot better when Kate is brought into the Royal fold.

Quite honestly, and I don’t mean to be harsh, but I do wish the RF would take care of these things sooner, and not wait until the last minute (day before engagement) to give them their Royal Protection officers — I rather think they could use them before, and also it would allow Kate to become accustomed to having someone shadow her 24/7, which I’d imagine is an awfully big adjustment for a young lady to make.

Hello all,

It doesn’t seem as if KM has any security detail, but restrictions on the publication of her movements when not wth PW may well be for security reasons.

The same may well apply to CD as both are high profile close friends of PW and PH but I doubt that close physical support is made available.

They may well both be fitted with individual attack alarms which would alert security if they are deemed to be in danger.

It was reported several months ago that CD’s family had arranged some form of security for her but depite rumours it has never appeared that KM has any bodyguard allocated.

This may not be the case but we do not know anything for certain

I can’t wait to make the trip as well. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I think you may be right alsgal about some plain clothes protection. She is dating the future king and she is a target for some crazy people. There has to be some sort of protection for her.

Knowing what a thoughtful and caring person William is, I, too, feel pretty certain he has made sure Kate is in the best of hands when he can’t be there to protect her himself.

I’m hoping for next year as well, so am cutting down on the bingo and mani/pedis so I’ll have enough for the trip. Even if I have to sleep in a bench in the park (London being so expensive) wild horses could not keep me from seeing these two get married!

I wonder about her security myself. With all the security people around the prince,I would imagine he has gotten good advice on the matter. I do think we are now seeing the beginning of the grooming of the two of them as a couple prior to an announcement. Next year should be the big event. Too bad I will be watching it on TV as air from the US and the exchange rate will keep me home.

I think she is not there full time, judging from the frequency of photos (London= more coverage) and probably moves locations frequently and varies her travel routes which is what security experts recommend to high-profile types.

Somehow I suspect she already has full private protection (very discreet, plainclothes type) that Wills might be paying for himself, but of course that would need to be kept quiet as I can only imagine the press explosion if word of that got out.

alsgal, do we know for sure that she stays at the flat in Chelsea fulltime? It would surprise me if she did. I believe she is with William most of the time but I don’t think they stay at CH. I think they stay at Highgrove. When William is not around,I think she stays with her parents or at the flat but I cannot imagine her staying fulltime at a flat that everyone knows about.

Lisa, I think what you’re saying makes sense, although I do wonder if security is a main concern why though would she be allowed to remain at her flat in Chelsea since most know the location of that thanks to that irresponsible German magazine article a few years back.

I think there is more here then we are seeing. At least to my POV, it seems most logical that she has been working fairly steadily for Party Pieces over the past year or so. She might not be out in the barn packing the plates, but she could easily do a lot of these things (the photography, web design) in and around Bucklebury.

Personally, I think that is sweet, helping her Mum and Dad out, and see nothing wrong with “keeping it in the family” — after all, the Firm is a family business too

She was the Daily Kate
Now since we don’t have a Daily Kate, She is the Katie Watie, Waitie Katie :roll eyes:

Etc. etc. etc. how insulting, what a shame of the press and Hatie Katie…

Which is the Middleton family business, whatever position: cupcake photographer.

I have always thought about that since she quit Jigsaw – 24/7 papparazi following her in/out flat/office site – terrible.
