I agree, nikki.
It’s better think before than after married like his father, and mother too, did. It’s for both W and C, but I think it’s comprehensible that Wills has had more doubts than Kate, not b/c she loves him more than he loves her - what ins’t true to me, I would say he was insecure - but by the differents (absolutely opposite to be correct) examples of marriage they had at home. C and D gave the world the Fairy Tale: meet each other in a Castle, dated for few months, soon get engaged, had the best ceremony, all this in less than a year and the rest…People didn’t realize yet that fairy tales don’t work in real world?
W and C aren’t more “a dream” for those who likes this kind of story but have learn from their/Wills mistakes and are trying to do the best. The way as they conducted their relationship shows they are always thinking in how their future together will be, not in “now is the important tomorrow we will see” and, different from others, I don’t think it’s for pressure of RF or others, but b/c they really care to each other - and obviously, after all this years, are sure about their love.
What many see as disregard - the fact of Wills never make scenes or say a word to show his love - I see as responsibility from his part and a trial to protect her. He knew what date him could do in a girl’s life and time prove he was right acting that way. He can not be lucky in some decisions but his intentions are the best.
Instead to insist in a perfect romance in Wills’ life, people should think it could be forever and will make him happy b/c is what he choose by himself, after to analyse the pros and cons.
They are building something solid and it ins’t easy to do.

I’ve enjoyed this site for several months but have never commented before. William and Catherine have done exactly the right thing. They have not rushed into a marriage just to have the fantasy royal wedding the press keeps screaming about. Prince William knows the consequences a failed marriage has on the monarchy. So it makes total sense that he would want to be ready and make sure that Catherine is also ready for their royal life together. He would not have wanted to marry her but then not be around to support her and give her guidance. However he has made it clear she is his future. Once William returns from the navy in August I believe we’ll see a lot more of Ms Middleton by his side at royal functions.

Good thoughts,Carla. My general opinion is that the engagement will precede the wedding by a short period. It would be too much of a security risk otherwise. no way they will have a 9 month or one year engagement. That would allow too much time for the bad people of the world to plan. Three months tops,IMO.

If W and K annouce their engagement much time before the wedding, I guess it will be a hell. The press will have time to write all the sort of articles, including another break up, unknown Kate’s relatives and Wills’ supposed former girlfriends or girls with who he cheated her revealing pics from past and selling their stories, their friends giving interviews, incredible new profiles for both (see what they did with Autumn in few months) proving they aren’t as good as we thought, Kate’s family snobbism and folly - specially from her mother - as they get what they want: be on the top of British society… and what more their minds can creat.
Otherwise if they annouce too close, there will be the old story: “Is she pregnant?”

“You may remember the Balmoral visit when everyone said that was the weekend it was to happen. Everyone was there and seemed to be expecting something. Perhaps KM said no ?”
I didn’t know this, but anyway we are 21 century and I think they are a couple like any other who TALK to each other about when, where and how is better for them to get married, in my opinion they probably had talked a lot about this, both agreeded in something that we don’t know and there isn’t this game of “Kate making ultimatums and they breaking up b/c Willam isn’t ready” or “now he decide to propose and she say no”.
It’s a bit ridiculous - I’m not saying about Ked - to think after 5 yrs and all this pressure they didn’t make up their minds yet and Wills look to Kate thinking: “Hell, she is going to pressure me again?” or Kate to Wills: “Oh Lord! when he will propose? How much time I still have to wait?” For Goodness’s sake! It’s a tabloid story! They don’t live the Middle Age’s reality.
I said about Wills saying don’t want to marry until 28 above, many at that time had comment Kate could be disappointed, but maybe what he said was something they had already talked about, as William knew after graduation he would join Army and Kate couldn’t have a so planed future as Wills but was aware that marry a Royal isn’t simply make a great ceremony and live together until death. She isn’t a fool and knows all the pressure that comes to a princess/ future Queen and that more important than be a good princess is give heirs to the throne. It’s perfectly normal to me that she isn’t in a hurry to marry b/c don’t feel ready to be a mother.

About Kate didn’t be at Wills side all the time as in January, it just prove she has her own life. Not that William would dumped her again as people thought. If was he who dumped her last year.

They probably had an argument over the winter (maybe over marriage, maybe not, who knows?) But they seem to be happy together now. Every couple has arguements but as long as they work it out maturely (meaning none of these silly ultimatiums or “we are on a break” things), then there is nothing wrong with that.

I doubt that they are ready for marriage at the moment, but maybe in a year or two? I think that they need to sort some stuff out at the moment and William needs to prepare for royal duties. In the mean time, Kate could get a job …lol.

Lady Rose Windsor will tie the knot tomorrow (Sat. 19th) Congrats to them both!

Ked, I think we already discussed this back at the time and had reached the conclusion that the fact that William and Kate were not pictured together in January/February 2008 does not mean that they did not see each other at all. Usually we only get more pics during the polo season because they are seen regularly at matches. Other than that there’s often not more than one outing at a party or something per month. Their lives are not covered 100% in the papers - not even up to 15% are, I’m sure. I very much doubt they would still see each other at all, had Kate rejected an engagement offer. And then I cannot imagine why she should say “no” to her b/f of 5 years.
