My she’s really coing out since Wills has been gone. It’s like freedom to her. She can do what she likes. Is it possible Wills is too controlling??
June 29th, 2008 04:28
Maybe she’s just distracting herself from the fact that she’d have to spend this weekend alone when she would usually have been with her b/f instead…
She attended Wimbledon in 2006 and 2007 as well so it’s nothing new that she’s there. I guess the last couple of weeks there was just no event she’d have been interested in.
June 29th, 2008 04:43
Beautiful lady!! i know what a reason william falling in love with her!! my former lover like her too! i’m so envy with her, Catherine you are a beautiful girl in the world, and can be a next Miss Universe 2008 at this year! or become a future Queen of Britain someday suit…suit..
June 29th, 2008 05:49
Great to see Kate getting out. She has attended Wimbledon before so her presence is no surprise.I like her fashion choice for a day’s day event as well! Very nice!It is also nice to see how the BBC is publically referring to her as William’s GF. That is progress!
June 29th, 2008 06:04
catherine is really meant to be the future princess not only because of her beauty but also because of her beauty inside. i really like the pics! but unfortunately i cannot save it in my pc.
June 29th, 2008 12:06
It sounds so phoney all the Future Princess talk for a woman who still is out partying at every turn, who’s only title after years of dating Pr. William , is Official Girlfriend. Whats with the bags already under her eyes. Hardly what I would call a beauty. Reminds me of a young Camilla.
I wonder if she was hungover. If she had the engagement already locked , She wouldn’t be coming out of clubs looking drunk, imo.
She appears to be back in Party mode as usual. The Queen is surely watching, she has every reason to be concerned.
June 29th, 2008 12:33
Why is Kate so hardly attacked for partying every once in a while and William Harry and Chelsy all get away with it? She’s not more of a party girl than Chelsy or Princess Bea… she’s been out and about in clubs maybe once or twice a months this year. Seriously I have yet to see any of the young royals and their signifcant others to really get over board with the partying. They all appear very normal when it comes to the amount of nights out and drinking…
Gosh, listening to you one would think she’d have to lock herself up at home the whole day.
I applaud her for living her life regardless of the tabloid fodder attacking her. Keep your head up, girl! You have nothing to apologise for!
June 29th, 2008 13:07
She never looks like chelsy or bea coming out of clubs at least. They sometimes look drunk and Kate seems to be able to keep her composure and not look a mess.
June 29th, 2008 13:08
Where were they sitting?
June 29th, 2008 13:53
MERRICK – I suggest you wear some eyeglasses because you must be seeing someone else with your eyes other than Kate Middleton. And why don’t you complain about the way Beatrice and Eugenie are always half in the bottle and partying it up like crazy. Kate never looks a mess like that. Maddie and Trixie are absolutely right. And to compare her to a young Camilla? I think you’ve been doing too much drinking and partying.
June 29th, 2008 15:20
Right Jade. Kate has william! she won’t be the other woman like Camilla.
June 29th, 2008 16:17
Hello,
I think there may have been an incident prior to KM leaving night club.
I don’t know who was in taxi with her but it was not a face I’ve seen before.
Was it security ?
June 29th, 2008 16:33
ked,where are you getting this from? If there was any sort of incident in that club when Kate was there, I am quite sure the press would have been all over it like white on rice. Mabe the person she was with was a friend who you don’t know?
From all I can see,Kate had a nice weekend spent with friends attending a concert and a tennis match with a short stop at a new club, probably to just show her support. For all the events she attended,it seemed all very uneventful…lets give it a rest,shall we?
June 29th, 2008 16:43
Any excuse for Kate partying and also not working, for some, but she is nothing more than a Party girl and vacationer.
She still is no beauty in my opinion, but it’s not about looks , it’s about character and work ethic, which she hasn’t shown much of and William is hardly proposing to her and he has has had plenty of time. He doesn’t need to propose any time soon, he just dumps her if she starts pressuring him about marriage. Kate would have been engaged and married two years ago if it were up to her. imo
Now the press is telling us the same old story repeat about this being Kate’s last single Christmas, so she snubbed the Queen’s Christmas invite. Yeah sure……
No wonder William wants his own PR man or woman, with all these silly repeated stories in the press. They’ve had him married to her for five years now and he hasn’t even asked yet.
June 29th, 2008 17:00
Posting for the first time from America here. I have to say that I am thoroughly fascinated with the ongoing fascination with ‘what have you done of latey-Katie?’. Quel ennui! For someone who has not accomplished much of anything for most of her adult life, she seems to inspire complacency and inactivity (except for photo-ops) as the path through adulthood. On the other hand, for the young female members of the American Royal Family (ie The Kennedys), complacency and inactivity are non-starters for life. It might be behind the scenes that Kate is being prevented (or saved) from entertaining if not pursuing her full potential to do something like, let’s say, contribute to British society by working in a career or volunteering in a humanitarian or social organization. How unfortunate that one is being dictated one’s limitations. I find it dispiriting that she is foresaking her soul and her womb for a title that might not even come to pass. Life is too short. Unfortunately, Diana learned of her personal potential to affect positive contributions to the world quite late in the game. I do not consider ‘the one who aspires to be royal’ Kate as someone I would want my daughters to emulate.
June 29th, 2008 17:18
lisa,
Sorry I can’t say what I don’t know.
Doubt if KM will go back to club but what do I know.
June 29th, 2008 17:58
She is very careful to not go out to parties too much. She, William and Harry was told to take that down a notch. They was being seen as party animals. But I just see a group of people having a good time. Merrick, the press is just bring up old things because they are dry of royal stories. We all know that Kate would never “Snub” the Queen. That would be a bad move on her part. Everybody should know that only married members of the royal family attends the Christmas parties at Sandringham. Kate will only be invited to the annual shooting party and she may not go to that because her families tradition is to spend the holiday’s in the caribbean. People may not like this but Kate’s life is changing and she’s handleing it the best way she know how. William is getting his training out of the way, she is being introduced to the public in a more official way and later this year and early next year things will become more exciting and we can clearly see that. But like I have always said, the media and public only know little facts about her and she is not being seen “in the public” going to work so no one knows what she is doing. Due to this, the media is going insane. They have never heard her talk, so that leaves everyone guessing who she is. All we see is a man and woman in love with each other and supporting one another. William & Kate is keeping the world on the edge of their seats and they are letting us know that things are okay and everything is coming to pass in due time. So just focus on the facts that things are going the way it’s been planned and we just have to sit and wait to see more great things, the wedding and Order of the Garter is just a taste/tease of what’s to come. But other than that, it’s very entertaining to read the speculation.
June 29th, 2008 18:34
That’s nice Kate went to wimbleton for a break watching tennis.
June 29th, 2008 22:49
Have you guys ever wonder what if william and Kate never got back together and he found someone else?
June 29th, 2008 23:05
I just still wonder why William hasn’t proposed yet. What in the world is he waiting for? And don’t tell me he’s busy with his Royal Duties…love usually makes men move…even the royals. He’s on the back side of his 20’s…if he doesn’t get on with it soon, I’d have serious doubts if I were Kate.
June 30th, 2008 01:22
I bet Kate knows things you don’t know.
June 30th, 2008 03:00
Hello,
The storey of KM’s invite to Sandringham has come up in the DM for the past 3 years. One year it may be correct.
The first time it surfaced was three years ago and KM’s politely refused saying she would only attend when PW had proposed and she became an accepted part of royal life.
So ,if true, the story confirms that PW hasn’t proposed and KM has no expectation of being engaged by Christmas 2008.
An angagement and marriage between PW and KM is no done thing and the longer this expectation goes on the more difficult it is going to be for the public to accept this.
They are obviously in love with one another or that there is little doubt but more and more it is becoming clear that this marriage is unacceptable to certain parts of the establishment and possible to certain member of the royal hierarchy.
Each time any criticism of KM surfaces the more difficult it is going to be for PW to persuade this hierarchy to accept his choice and if we think he can unilaterally make his own decision we are very much misinformed as to the workings within the ” firm.”
PW is first a member of the royal family, seconly a Windsor and third a direct heir to the throne. He does not have a choice of his own. Charles was instructed to marry Diana against his own convicions and PW will be forced to do the same.
Unfortunately PW may not be allowed to propose and in all honesty that would lead to one great mess and may carry on for a number of years as PW can be quite stubborn and may, just may get his own way in time even if he has to wait until his father ascends the throne as PC seems to approve of KM and has gone out of his way to show it.
June 30th, 2008 03:40
Hello everyboy.
you keep saying that KM is beautiful inside as she is beautifull outside .Personally I DON’T THINK SHE’S that beautiful and I don’t know anything about her inner beauty. So how can you tell?
By the way .Where’s Jenny ? Imiss her posts .
June 30th, 2008 03:45
unfortunately catherine middleton is not like the young duchess of cornwall meant to say camilla. or an other woman.in prince williams life.
June 30th, 2008 05:02
You have no idea, do you? Kate is SO Camilla…
June 30th, 2008 05:12
Kate is no Camilla and there is no Diana folks, nor Chelsy si so Fergie…they all have different finger prints. The press wants to make the Camilla/Diana and Fergie situation with a Kate/Jecca and Chelsy, but it just won’t happen, believe me.
June 30th, 2008 09:39
Oh Lord Ked, you didn’t listen to a thing I said.
June 30th, 2008 11:29
Kate is so not Camilla. LOL
June 30th, 2008 11:52
[...] Royals at Wimbledon I’m not aware there’s a thread to cover this annual event which has had mixed support from Royals over the years. I came across this interesting report ESPN – Wimbledon a hotbed for tradition – Tennis I thought it might be a place to post pictures of Royals who have sat in the Royal box over the years. One of the best years seems to have been 1981 when Grace,Rainier, Albert & Stephanie paid a visit to the Women’s finals. Diana was also in the box that day along with the Kents .

Rman,
How did you know ?
June 30th, 2008 12:38
Hello,
It’s early days but does anyone else sense the birth of a new litter of katers within the movement.
Keep eyes on them, I shall and let them know in no uncertain terms.
They’re not the first and they may not be the last to misunderstand the spirit of BRW.
Keep the faith
June 30th, 2008 12:40
You’re the voice of reason, Me, but I fear you’ll remain a rather lonesome voice. The press will keep on pressing any sort of comparison to the oh-so-well selling days of Charles-Camilla-Diana and the Diana-Fergie comparisons. I fearit will take they young royals decades to get over such comparisons…
June 30th, 2008 12:52
Ked the facts is right infront of our faces but people often wonder too much and get completely off track. Due to no engagement announcement at the moment, people end up painting William in a bad light and we all know that is not his character. He’s doing this way he see fit and things are running smoothly. That’s it.
June 30th, 2008 13:24
Why desperation or pressure to engage NOW. Guys take it easy, he will on due time…
June 30th, 2008 13:36
That’s right Me.
June 30th, 2008 13:38
Rman and everyone,
My comments are not a criticism of PW per say but you really must understand that he can not be his own man if their are dissenters on high.
He may eventually persuade his elders that he must marry KM but there is no way he will go against his family if there are strong objections. I am not saying there is this objection but it does explain a situation for which we have no apparent explanation.
So if there is a new position of Girlfriend created to give some substance to KM’s position the present situation could go on indefinitely .
KM has obviously been accepted as playing a large part of PW’s life so some recognition has been accorded but the long term position may be still be in abeyance.
The next 12 to 18 months will be very similar to the last 12 to 18 months and in two years time we may still be trying to solve their problems.
I hope not but circumstances may be againts an early solution
June 30th, 2008 13:38
Apologies fro spelling!!??
June 30th, 2008 14:01
Ked, there is no apparent explanation, but a very CLEAR notification to the public, CH announced that PW will be BUSY 2008 with the Military and will end it January 2009, starting February 2009 with FULL ROYAL DUTIES.
Would you like to leave your Girlfriend ALONE in engagement while your out in the military or would you like to engage while you are INHOUSE to guide and protect her…its no joe from the corner she will get engaged with the “when”…
I think and again, people cool down, they will in due time.
June 30th, 2008 15:02
I hear what you are saying Ked but people think the royal family is not behind Kate and that’s sipmly not true. It will all come together in due time like Me said. We have seen the results recently and there’s more to come. That’s the exciting part. Believe me Ked this won’t go on and on, William will do his thing, give it time.
June 30th, 2008 15:04
If the royal family where against Kate (read to the highest level), be sure PW would not be with her since a long time ago.
June 30th, 2008 16:27
And the British Royal Family have in the past USED people as Collateral Damage, they never thought someone would end up dead in the process. Can’t marry this one, you’ll have to marry the other one, even if you don’t love her, “whatever love means”…
So Ked, do you think the BRF (Read from the highest level) be devilish to repeat and have her grandchildren divorce, just like all her children, don’t think so…21st century, the Monarchy does know how to catch in time, slowly but they do know how to. They have rectified when in error.
June 30th, 2008 17:38
Rman,Me,
I am on KM side, always have been but I do think there is a reluctance to accept KM especially as a Queen elect.
Kate herself reportedly said, when she was considering if she should go back to PW in June/July 2007,that she was worried about becoming Queen.
Diana had grown up very close to Royalty and she couldn’t make it and KM thought it would be difficult for her as she had only been involved with Royalty for 5/6 years.
I just wonder if those reports were true and if the reluctance to accept her was based on that.
If ,as reported,she hasn’t had any grooming it will be difficult for KM to assimilate the background, the history,the pageantry and all the requirements of a Princess and a Queen.
These are going to be major difficulties for her if this training is only started once she is married and will make a difficult start to her married life.
Had she been accepted, and PW
knew she had, then so much time is being wasted. KM should be involved in minor activities closely linked to PW’s charities for instance. This would give her insight into her future and she would be seen to be working, which people think is a major drawback against KM.
As an accepted Girlfriend couldn’t she now be given minor roles in some of these activities ?
I am in fact trying to write down thoughts that come into my head of the difficulties I can envisage and the time that is and has been wasted. Over the years, as a very intelligent lady, KM could have assimilated so much that would be of incredible help to her in her (hopefully) marriage and Royal Duties.
I hope that you can understand what I mean and not think I am being critical or derogatory.
June 30th, 2008 18:00
KM needs to start working instead of just clubbing, partying, and shopping. Hiding from the media is not an excuse for not getting a job. If she were so concerned about the media, then she wouldn’t party all the time or at least she would try to be more careful of not being spotted. I am not 100% sure that williams will propose to her. He’s been putting to many excuses for not marrying, a person who is truly interested in someone and who truly loves that person does not put too many excuses and makes everything possible to work everything out. I would suggest waity katie start looking for someone else.
June 30th, 2008 18:11
I think KM already knows something we don’t. Rest assured, I think she is the one PW will marry. She has been there for him and loyalty is very important in any relationship. I feel she is accepted by the queen and probably has a good relationship with PC, Camilla, PH. She looked very comfortable with PC in the pictures of them stalking, She and William seem to have things in common and look very happy together in the most recent pics. Plus she has the keys to CH. Come on, do you really think they won’t make it official?

Hello everyboy.
you keep saying that KM is beautiful inside as she is beautifull outside .Personally I DON’T THINK SHE’S that beautiful
————————————-quote
and this was the only reason I compared her to a young Camilla. Camilla was somewhat passable attractive but never beautiful. I think Kate is a bit more attractive than a young Camilla, but NOT MUCH, I don’tt hink she’s beautiful at all. She’s got terrible skin and a puffy face always.
…still it’s her lack of work ethic that is bothering to me. She seems so lazy. Just waiting for William.
June 30th, 2008 18:28
I have always felt that PW and KM became engaged last year prior to her leaving her job and she has been receiving advisement from staff members since that time. Ked is correct in the sense that you don’t just propose to a woman and expect her to know the ropes overnight. She is being groomed and will be ready when the engagement is announced. I think we are going to see more and more of the two of them in public once William returns from the navy and they will announce the engagement next winter.
June 30th, 2008 18:52
Hello Rman,
When you say that the Royal family are behind KM I am not sure how you can positively say that.
Most comments referring to KM and attributed to senior Royals are negative in content to her and the fact that PW has been with KM for so long may be because PW is stubborn , wilful and loves KM and not because she is approved by “the boss”
Whilst accepting that reports are usually from ‘palace sources close t…’ or ‘a royal source said….’ and are mainly reporters own thouhts , leaks are made and do occur but why a majority are negative is strange and unusual.
I have previously mentioned that if a young,knowledgeable investigative journalist could investigate all such comments and trace them back to source then we may be surprised how many are instigated from CH or BP.
Anyone interested ? Apply BRW ?? (sorry S. only joking)
June 30th, 2008 19:47
Ked, I’m saying that the royals are giving them their best wishes and has advised him to take things slow and they are very welcoming towards her. He’s doing this because he knows it’s worth it and we can clearly see that. Again, face the facts. Him finishing his training to start his royal life with her will be worth the wait. Her being there to support him at Sandhurst, Wings ceremony and The Garter Service is all fact that things are getting serious and as you can read, a lot of people still don’t believe the facts. I can’t stress that enough, FACE THE FACTS.
June 30th, 2008 20:01
To be or not to be…Ked believes in Katie Nicholl (the Queen said via Royal Sources to get a career a ‘real’ job) vs. Richard Kay who said it was a bunch of balony. But, Katie also has said many other things, that have been proved to be with a very high percent = False. The last Richard Kay article related to KM said that Ascot sources rumoured that her mom would go, but he well wrote it was a rumour…therefore folks take all articles on PW/KM with a grain of salt – fun and nice to discuss it, there I agree.
Real news of this couple comes in the form of immediate past events 4-12 hours with pics.
June 30th, 2008 20:24
True Me, it’s just people fail to realize that William is more focused on what he’s doing than his father was when he first married. Charles let a good thing get away and he learned from that. William & Harry learned from that as well and they are holding on tightly to their loves. Me as you just said, the evidence is in the past pictures and events. What gives me joy for them, is there’s more to come. Did you read the new artical in the Daily Mail? It express hope for William. That he will more wise and take after his grandmother.

July 1st, 2008 00:46
Hello all,
You will I hope note that I do say “if true” when
using comments made by papers especially the DM and most especially whenever Miss Nicholl makes statements and remember Richard Kay was the reporter who went on American and Australian TV just 15 months ago and said that “KM would never be Queen.”
I don’t believe these stories and have faith in PW/KM but read exactly what I said.
The question I asked was why do all stories said to come out of CH or BP give a negative view of KM.
If information is just being leaked indiscriminately by servants or officials then by any law of averages the ratio of negative to positive should be close to 50/50.
If those leaks are deliberate however they would account for the almost !00% negative reports and most reports have been shown to be negative to KM. WHY ??
This is so obvious.
Me, by the way Miss Nicholls stories which are almost always rehashes are always 100% FALSE.
Richard Kay was annoyed when PW/PH used American sources to break story prior to the Diana concert.
Rman that DM story you linked is yet another cynical attack on the Royal Family and their finances dressed up as a human interest story. They have an agenda believe me and are still sore at Hello wedding scoop .
Rman, can’t you also see that PW was very badly advised by CH to go playing Airman and Sailor in an attempt to boost his popularity and it was very hastily put together without proper consideration.
Those episodes especially in RAF have done him a great deal of harm. Why do you think the time spent in the RN was so drastically reduced from the original published agenda ?
Over the years these episodes will be dragged up time after time to hurt the Monarchy.
I think PW did wake up about the advise being given to him and his short spell in RN was his first objection to their planning.
The second came when he decided a month or so ago to get his own press secretary which was initially quickly hushed up but has been rehashed a few days ago. Probably at his insistance.
I think that his planned spell in the Foreign office and in a newspaper office will also go or be drastically reduced.
PW may well have woken up to the fact that he was being led by the nose by ‘grey’ men and has objected.
It’s his life, but let’s see how quickly he does something about it.
An early engagement announcement will prove that he has broken the chain but any extension into 2009/2010 will indicate that he is still having trouble from on high.
Let us just wait and see but hope that August is the month. It should be but…
July 1st, 2008 03:59
hello
Dear merrich I think we are on the same page
I don’t hate kate but whenever I see her I remember Camilla .And I wonder some people
are so fascinated by her ?she didn’t do anything inher life so far but waiting the prince to propose .Honestly I think he’s too young to do that .
July 1st, 2008 06:48
I don’t hate kate but theres something about her that to me seem fake or just being kate in waiting. I’m sorry but I can sit there and wait for someone to do something with there life and me just siting there with no job not doing any charity work or anything worth helping country of england. I f read and article that said I was waiting on william I will be furious. So many of you are hope that she get married to him because she is the only girl that was openly a girlfriend of william. Please do not call me a kate hater I’m not i’m just looking out for both of them.
July 1st, 2008 10:07
We understand Danielle but I honestly have a feeling that William wants her to lay low. If she wants to do charity work, it may be behind the scenes. There is no way William would be with someone who is waiting for a ring. He’s more smarter than that. There must be a big reason why Kate is not seen in public going to work and doing whatever she can behind the scenes.
July 1st, 2008 10:36
there is a reasons why william is with her is because he feel that he wont find some one else before he gets oldand bald. And there is a reson why kate is not working because she wait for a ring. Who quit there part time job to do photography. William is also in competition with harry. Harry has found his love an will soon marry her. William to me seem to not to be in love. He just seem to settle for what is giving to him and not reaching high enough.
July 1st, 2008 11:03
Danielle, a person can’t withhold 4 years plus with any excuse to be together and ongoing, its a known psychological fact.
Only love can do it.
July 1st, 2008 12:37
People think they are fools and just using each other and that’s not true at all. I don’t know why others are over looking the facts but that will end soon enough. I just can’t believe that people think that William & Kate are just that dumb. Amazing!!! But when that engagement is announced, I will just sit back and laugh.
July 1st, 2008 12:46
I’ll never understand why some are so cynical to believe that William doesn’t deserve being loved or is so foolish to be “manipulated” over such a long period of time. He has known Kate for 7 (!) years now and they were friends for at least 2 years before they became an item. Noone can put up a facade for that long especially not in front of someone who is as careful and reserved about strangers as William.
Why is it so hard to believe that Kate is with William because she loves him? He’s not a horrible person and unless one takes the tabloid fodder about his supposed “roving eye” for gospel I see no reason Kate shouldn’t love him and vice versa.
Honestly I do not understand why some believe in the fairy tale romance of Harry and Chelsy and condemn Will and Kate so much. Apparently people so convinietly forgot the pictures of Harry all over the Canadian bar maids and the story of one of them who said she spend the night with him. That was just last year! And Chelsy apparently was “doormat” enough to take the sorrow cheat of a b/f back and make out with him at the Concert for Diana for all the world to see. Those pics were certainly not more or less harmless than the one of Will with those two girls… And then the reports of Harry kissing Natalie Pikett (?) after a night out togther in Bouji in 2006. Also forgiven by his “doormat” girlfriend. Chelsy even moved to the UK for her b/f only to be left waiting at the airport and being basically ignored the rest of the year. They were seen out and about together maybe twice in autumn 2007. Since then they were not photographed kissing or hugging – they probably don’t ove each other anymore.
(no I don’t mean those things about Harry and Chelsy, I just want to illustrate how those episodes would sound if they involved William and Kate)
Seriously both couples seem very normal to me and go through the ups and downs of very public relationships. So far they all seem to be doing fine and are capable to solve any problem that may or may not have arisen.
July 1st, 2008 12:50
Hello all,
PW is with KM for a very good reason.
They are in love.
I don’t think PW realized what he’d got or even what he’d almost lost in a partner like KM.
Love,loyalty, help in troubled times and being there for him.
I think he nearly threw it away by his own actions but suddenly he just knew and I don’t think that the day he knew is to many months ago.
He was ont he brink and at times treated KM almost as a pariah for several months but suddenly, for whatever reason he did realize what KM meant to him and to his life.
Unfortunatly during his “off” period he reportedly confided in people and those confidences are at present going against the couple.
Yes he did look elsewhere but one way or another those did not work out and back he came to KM.
Now he is finding it difficult to prove to the influential doubters that it is serious, very serious and until they accept that it is there will be no engagement or marriage.
As a Prince and as an Heir he cannot just go against the heads of his family but he can try to convince them that this love is a genuine love for both of them
When that is acceptable to these doubters then the engagement happens.
Perhaps this present period is their trial of x months or y years for them. Perhaps PW repeated absences is also part of the trial and when this is over and they accept the position, then perhaps it happens.
Who knows for certain ?

Do any of you know kate or william personally? No you don’t you believeing what you read this fairy tale story. This is real life with real situation.
July 1st, 2008 14:27
That’s why since its a real life with real situation, one must use universal logil for human beings. I think in short I mentioned exactly a fact of human life/behaviour, and Trixie gave an excelent illustration.
July 1st, 2008 15:08
You are absolutely right Danielle, this is real life and William & kate being in love with each other and will make things more official soon enough is the real thing. That’s all there is to it. It’s when people start wondering too much about if there’s love there? why hasn’t he proposed yet? is she working yet? is he just using her? is where things get completely out of hand and the facts is over looked or ignored. Which to me is just sad. We should be wishing them well and lots of happiness. He sat and watched his parents marriage go down the drain because the pressure that was on them and the many hands that was trying to control that marriage. So we should at least encourage, and pray for William, Kate, Harry and Chelsy’s relationships and marriages. They really need that not only from their family & friends but from the public.

I don’t hate kate but theres something about her that to me seem fake or just being kate in waiting. I’m sorry but I can sit there and wait for someone to do something with there life and me just siting there with no job not doing any charity work or anything worth helping country of england. I f read and article that said I was waiting on william I will be furious. So many of you are hope that she get married to him because she is the only girl that was openly a girlfriend of william. Please do not call me a kate hater I’m not i’m just looking out for both of them.

I agree. I don’t get what is special, except she’s dating William.

Hi Everybody…
Been reading this site for a while and I really respect and enjoy the varied points of view!
I don’t have much to say at the moment, but I wanted to quickly comment on Merrick’s last post…
I really think that if any of us had hundreds, if not thousands, of photos taken of us within the span of about 5 minutes, I’m sure we would have more than a few “bad” shots to choose from. Obviously the Daily Mail chose that particular photo because it backed-up the story they were running. So, I find it a bit unfair to choose that photo as a representation of her looks. I’m not saying that she is the most gorgeous person in the world; merely that, if you’re trying to make an actual point, then it would be more persuasive to use a not-so-blatantly-bad photo…

..while the rest of the photos of the same evening, same spot, seconds apart say differently – where like her or not she comes out pretty.
July 1st, 2008 19:25
I don’t think she’s pretty, but it’s her non work ethic which is why I don’t really think much of her.
She always looks the same in photos to me.
July 1st, 2008 20:13
Welcome L…looking forward to your posts!
A few random thoughts tonight…looking at some of the pics of the mandela concert,it appears that Kate may have had a security guy with her…interesting and wise,IMO.
On the work issue..honestly I really don’t think it is a big deal. Kate’s role as a royal will be pretty basic,really. Her most important duty will be to bear children. She will carry out engagements and be a support person for William. As time goes on and the children grow up, her role will increase. The that time she will be seasoned at a pro at it. The press just needs conflict or they can’t sell papers(rags,lol)

hello everybody.
I think that people sometimes stay together for many reasons other than love .Now if PW is truely in love with KM and wants her to be his future queen then he shouldn’t be affriad of her stealing the limelight from him .On the contrary he should let her do something useful in her life to regain the respect of the puplic that she is starting to lose.
July 2nd, 2008 05:26
Love is the glue, there is nothing else that may stick 2 persons together, after 4 years plus and ongoing. Believe me. If they are destined to be together, it was love.
July 2nd, 2008 09:02
I agree sami.
July 2nd, 2008 09:35
OH dear Me .love isn’t always the glue that make 2 persons stick together .Sometimes they do because they are affriad of change.many things can make people stay together no matter how they feel .I hope that KM and PW are truely in love if not I hope that they ‘ll find love one day .
July 2nd, 2008 10:17
Well did you see the latest pictures of William & Kate on his birthday? If you did, you can tell that they are in love. Go to William & Harry Unlimited.
July 2nd, 2008 10:39
sami, afraid of change doesn’t last long…that is not an excuse to “stick together”…voice of experience.
July 2nd, 2008 12:09
Rman,
I wonder how much the paps would pay for the close-up photgraphs KM was taking of PW.
I should think her personal collection could be worth several x £1M easily.
I do hope that she has a safe and reliable place to keep them, can you imagine the outcry if they were stolen ?
The first comment from some of our ‘friends’ on here would be that she had lost them on purpose.
I do hope that her photographs remain safe and personal to both of them but how wonderful if she published them in 40 or 50 years time.
What a record of a love affair.
July 2nd, 2008 12:21
Very funny Ked. You are so right about the photos if they were lost. Many of our ‘friends’ would say she gave them to the rags. LOL
July 2nd, 2008 12:39
How exciting for PW http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23505686-details/Prince+William+in+%C2%A340m+drugs+swoop/article.do

I think they would worth a lot of money, but when she marry him she can give them to the royal collection or just keep them. The royal family is very keen on taking pictures including the Queen. The Queen is often spotted with a camera in her hand on private occasions. Bringing another keen photograher into the family is not half bad.
July 12th, 2008 11:58
I just wish some of you nasties could tell me how Kate could have a job. The paps would be outside the workplace all day blocking the entrance and trying to get any colleague to make comments. Just leave the poor girl alone. She will marry Wills and they will do so much for this country.
July 12th, 2008 12:09
That’s right Sandy, that’s why she is working in private. Well said.
