Because Kate is dating the future king of england, people tend to think all the best things of her and that she is the prettiest, but I believe that she is and looks like any other regular girl. nothing extraordinary about her. she is no more than the guy she is dating. The same thing goes for william, since he is the future king of england, girls tend to think that he is the most handsome guy but I believe that he also looks like any other regular guy. I believe that it is more his title what makes him so interesting rather than his looks or personality. I wouldn’t either find anything extraordinary about him or the royal family. Just people who were lucky to be born in the royal family and whose ancestors gained power by killing other people. Nothing extraordinary about that.

I hope for the best William and Kate have a happy engagement next year.

I’m with you Princess April Ann, with so little to no love in this world, we need to celebrate love than hate on it. Everybody on this site should celebrate that William & Kate and Harry & Chelsy has made it this far. I truly think that they are taking a lesson from their grandparents. The Queen & Prince Philip worked at their marriage while dealing with the rumors of Philip’s affairs, him taking a back seat to her high position and them sticking together through all their family’s troubles. Their 60th Wedding Anniversary last year was just amazing. And as Prince William paid tribute to them by saying “whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love” I’m sure that put everything into place for him. That’s why I say to everyone on here, Lets celebrate love for we are celebrating God. “do not hate, celebrate.”

lets wait and see.for their engagement announcement, probably they would announced it.

Hello,
I think the next 18 to 24 months are going to be free of any royal announcements and PW and PH will just go about doing their duries.
Other members may or may not confirm to what is expected but I can’t see very much movement but Prince Andrew’s daughters may generate the most news.
No I haven’t take this from any advance DM stories it’s just a hunch.
As I’m fond of saying , lets just wait and see.

As a hunch…next wedding Z&M
July 2nd, 2008 16:33
Me,
I have that hunch. It’s not a banker.
July 2nd, 2008 18:23
I just have a hunch that their will be an engagement in the begining of next year. Who? W&K or Z&M. Z&M will have a wedding very little fuss so the big wedding for next year will be W&K.

There’s a great article on Daily Mail about the Queen Mum’s former butler, and there are some personal photos from over the 50 years he was with her…it reminded me of what you were discussing earlier; how nice it would be if,many years from now, KM were to make some of her private photos available to the public…
I’m not sure how to post a link, otherwise I would! Sorry!
July 2nd, 2008 20:48
Times Online article, agrees with me…..
http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/relationships/article4256746.ece
“Tad: Putting more pressure on a man is not the way to get him to propose.
Molly: Who said I want him to propose? I don’t care if William marries Kate or buys her a one-way ticket to Dumpsville.
Tad: He won’t have to buy her a ticket. He can fly her there himself in his helicopter. But if you don’t care, why hassle William?
Molly: Because watching him procrastinate about Kate is like watching an accident unfold in slow motion. And the longer it goes on, the slimmer the chances of a happy ending.
Tad: But he’s only 26 and Kate is his first serious girlfriend. You don’t buy the first flat that you look at, or book the first holiday that you read about. Why force William to marry the first girl he goes out with? ”
I totally and completely agree with them.
July 2nd, 2008 21:22
I do to. Finally some sees what I see
July 2nd, 2008 21:52
ha ha ha that sounds so internet forum. Just like Katie Nicholl in the past - trying to pick up fantasy stories from the internet forum - now she creates her own.
July 2nd, 2008 23:27
I agree Me, but I have to say that if I was in William shoes, I would be very upset that people are thinking very little of my long relationship with a very loving woman. She is very supportive, loving and loyal to him and so is he to her. People don’t seem to realize that last year they could have split for good but they noticed that they was meant to be together and we can see the relationship is stronger than ever. You can tell that the royal establishment is not putting any pressure on him and advicing him to take his time with it. If not he would have married her already. They no better now and have learned that rushing things is not the best thing. The only ones that are trying to rush an engagement is the media and William & Kate seem to be turing their heads and saying “talk to the hand because we will do this our own way.” The media don’t like to be ignored and they will come up with anything to make things look bad. Molly and Tad are player haters and that was a very dumb artical. Instead of focusing on William ending his training and becoming a full time working royal and a engaged man, they are busy putting his relationship down and enjoying it. It’s just a sick thing to do.

Trixie, amasing….from the DM
When Harry upset Chelsy … again
While his older brother’s romantic life moves inevitably, and a touch predictably, towards an engagement, there is less optimism about Prince Harry’s volatile relationship with Chelsy Davey.
The passionate pair appeared happy enough when they were spotted drinking together with pals at the Duke of Beaufort’s Polo Club in Gloucestershire the other day.
But I hear that behind the scenes all is not well.
Indeed the talk in London salons is that the lovebirds are going through a particularly bad patch.
Of course their love affair has always been tempestuous, characterised by bouts of rowing followed by romantic gestures as they make it up afterwards.
But, according to friends, things have recently reached a head because of Harry’s wish to spend time drinking with his Army friends.
‘The situation mirrors the breakup they went through last autumn,’ I am told.
Then Chelsy reportedly dumped the Prince because she had had enough of his ‘wandering eye’ and alcohol-fuelled partying.
Now, friends say, the same situation appears to have arisen again.
This week, Harry was on manoeuvres with the Army, and Leeds University student Chelsy was flying home to southern Africa.
‘They are going on holiday together soon and hopefully they will manage to patch things up again,’ says a friend.
‘But Harry is incorrigible. He is at that age when he likes drinking with his mates.
‘Chelsy will have to resign herself to that or it will be over.’
It is Harry, and to a lesser extent William’s, preference for the company of military types which has convinced courtiers that they need to be exposed to other influences.
‘There is too much camouflage around them,’ as one senior aide put it to me.
‘We need people from other walks of life.’
It is why William’s press officer, joining Clarence House next year, will almost certainly not be a military man.
The influence can not come soon enough - if Harry and Chelsy are to stick together.

update!:D
July 3rd, 2008 01:09
Hello all,
Interesting day.
Perhaps Richard Kay has been reading our posts. One of my hobby horses over the past couple of months has been the ineffectual advice and guidance given to PW in particular by his ‘advisors’
To attempt to improve PW popularity he was sent to do duty in the RAF, result , criticism and sarcastic comments about his use of military equipment.
So they decide to cut down time spent in RN but PW is hero again and recovered enough drugs to solve HM cash crisis and pay the expenses of his relatives for a couple of years. This is not good public relations.
PW had been on board less than 100 hours before the operation had its successful conclusion. How long do you think it took the American Coast Guard and the RN to plan an operation like that. Weeks, possibly months of intelligence so it was just a little too sceptical to believe the Commander’s little story of PW being involved with planning “at all levels”.
This is really too much effort to again attempt to boost PW’s popularity in the same way as the flight home with body of dead hero. That hero’s family soon stopped that.
Perhaps the new broom coming in for PW will take the correct options and allow us to see the real PW , a fairly decent guy doing faily decent ‘royal’ tasks and sorting out his personal life once and for all.
Rman, believe me, this doesn’t mean the engagement will happen over night.
There is still a way to go .
By the way, I’m still not a fan of DM or Mr Kay and his cohorts but one of them must get something right , sometime.
July 3rd, 2008 02:23
I agree Ked they still have a ways to go. They will make more appearences and things will become more official. They are taking it one day at a time and that is all we are seeing. What do you make of this story of Harry & Chelsy Ked?
July 3rd, 2008 04:06
thanks Merrick for the link .PERSONALLY I agree with Tad .I think PW is too young to marry now. and I’m not worried about Kate because she seems to know what she’s doing .
July 3rd, 2008 04:55
Hi Rman,
Chelsy and Harry seem to be getting the treatment.
I don’t think they are as far into their relationship as PW and KM but there is that something between them and it is obvious when together.
However there is a possible problem. Chelsy has a first class brain and is academically inclined. Harry is a “boyo” who struggled with ‘O’ levels and ‘A’ levels so intellectually they are definitely miles and miles apart.
When they are together they make happy music, when apart obviously doubts surface and Chelsy probably thinks where am I going, where are we going.
Harry probably can’t understand why Chelsy is so worried about his drinking with his mates and why, as a royal girlfriend, she can’t accept that traditionally he has the right to the “wandering eye syndrome” common to his father and to some extent , his brother.
KM and PW are basically on same intellectual level with KM possibly the stronger personality although she accepted PW’s ‘wandering eye’ as soon as it became ‘wandering hand etc’ she did put her foot down as per April 2007.
PW is older, has become a little more mature and perhaps he knows what he wants and that is KM.
Harry is still younger in mind than his years and will hopefully grow up and mature. Then perhaps he and Chelsy may make it together but he may have a lot of crawling to do.
Difficulties ahead,
July 3rd, 2008 05:58
This story about Harry and Chelsey is kinda funny. It is almost like they took an old story about William and Kate and just changed the names,LOL…gotta love the DM!
July 3rd, 2008 07:32
Chelsy also accepted the wondering Canadian eye, mouth, hand.
July 3rd, 2008 07:46
…. I can’t keep myself from saying “I told you so!” one can come up with the same sort of stories about both Will and Kate and Harry and Chelsy. That of course doesn’t mean that they are true just that there is no reason to believe that either is the “Golden Couple” and the other one in constant trouble (reagrdless if one “prefers W&K or H&C). At least William really seems to have learned from last years break-up and has not reportedly flirted with any woman since then and has also spend quite a lot of time with Kate including presenting her as his “official” girlfriend in public much more frequently. I guess Harry still has to learn his lesson. Him and Chelsy were used to a holiday relationship hence I guess he may simply not be used to her taking up so much of his time. It’s one thing to see your girlfriend a couple of weeks per year. It’s quite another to possibly have her around every weekend. That transision may have caused some trouble for them when she moved to the UK but they do not look like they have serious issues to me.
I always wondered what Harry and Chelsy have in common apart from their love for a good party and physical attraction for each other. I agree, Ked, that they are miles apart intelectually and while Harry sure has a good heart I don’t think he can truly grasp all of the issues his charities tackle on an academic level. He seems to act on gut feeling a lot whereas Chelsy is probably a “head person”. I wonder what they talk about… I always feared that Chelsy will eventually “outgrow” Harry. One day the common love for parties and good sex won’t be enough anymore but maybe they can find some common ground in charity work. Yet so far Chelsy hasn’t shown any interest in such.
July 3rd, 2008 07:48
Me,
I think, but obviously not sure that PW restrains himself, especially when KM is about or if she’ll hear about it.
PH went to a party/club recently with Chelsy but left without her with brunette, or so we were lead to believe.
Perhaps she was his security detail
July 3rd, 2008 08:06
Hello every body.
Is it only me who thinks that they are too young and naturally they ‘ll have wondering eyes and second thoughts about their partners and do some crazy things ?With respect to their titles they are human ,aren’t they?
July 3rd, 2008 11:58
I’d say “no” on the engagement.
July 3rd, 2008 12:46
All I see is a pattern here. They are making up stories on Harry & Chelsy because they are dry on William & Kate stories. The other day at Polo we could clearly see Harry & Chelsy being very happy with each other and she was very supportive of him. There are pictures of them together and in one, he is picking her up. So I just don’t believe any of it.
July 3rd, 2008 14:54
Rman,
I agree that the PH/CD stories are duplicates of some of the PW/KM stories from 12 to 15 months ago.
Your point about their being OK together at the Polo is certainly true and when they are together I think the magic certainly flows.
PH however does not yet understand that a girl needs wooing. He’s never had to do it to ‘pull his birds’ and he can’t get used to the idea that CD need his attention.
This is all supposition but answers some questions. They will always have difficulties on the intellectual side of a relationship but maybe both change and they live happily ever afterwards.
Perhaps.
July 8th, 2008 16:02
I feel sorry for William.
July 8th, 2008 16:31
Well, referring to Ked’s post about words are the reflection of “one’s” state, psychologically when a person feels sorry for another one but not yourself, it means that you are above that person or you are looking down to that person - you know the person’s problem and he has told you about it, you care and say I feel sorry for X, don’t know the person, never has told you and say I feel sorry X…figure it out. This is a pschological fact - studied and in books.
