Fox Latest: White Teeth & Royal Weddings
Gossip reporter Neil Sean has posted this gem on the Fox News website;
“Not one to gossip, as you know, but take heed of this nugget — I hear that royal insiders are in the process of setting up a meeting with Prime Minister Gordon Brown regarding planning a national U.K. holiday around high summer next year. What could that mean? Only a royal wedding, of course. Looks like Kate Middleton will finally land her man as she marries the heir to the throne next summer. You read it here first.
And does Middleton look slightly different to you? She should, as she has had her first teeth whitening treatments. The princess-in-waiting is, I can reveal, very oral-conscious and likes to look her best in smiles and pictures.
She told a mole, “It burns so much but I have good teeth and I am a tea drinker, so I have to be careful for stains.” Will Prince William be the next in line to go under the laser?”
July 25th, 2008 05:39
a drunk queen to be.. disguisting! The teeth arent too bad though.
July 25th, 2008 06:40
I doubt that this story is true (the national holiday bit), this sort of thing would not have been announced or leaked if it was true. A national holiday would be arranged with a little more discretion. However, it is obvious that she has got her teeth whitened.
PS. Have you seen the photos of her at the Party Pieces stock place? Don’t get too excited though, she’s only carrying a few boxes. If it was serious work, I would expect a journalist to have picked up on it by now. The images can be found on bruno press.
July 25th, 2008 06:50
I doubt Fox News would be the source of anything truly exciting or genuine.
Thanks for the heads up on those pics of Kate doing some manual labor at Party Pieces. I guess she works for her parents after all.
July 25th, 2008 06:55
Fox News get their stuff from tabloids like News of the world. She may have had her teeth whitened(who cares?) but the Gordon Brown stuff is waaay out there,lol. Wills is back in a week so thing in the legitimite news should pick up. I wonder if they will go to Balmoral for the month?
July 25th, 2008 08:22
Pretty - Kate is very, very seldom drunk. That I’m pretty sure of.And if she had any problems with alcohol, we would have nown about it by now. And the royal family themselves aren’t afraid of drinking a glass or two themselves. If you read a few reports about their life behind palace walls you’ll find that they serve some really strong gin and tonics
July 25th, 2008 08:47
well, i’m so confused to say a comment in this situs, i guess maybe Catherine want have a perfect teeth before her exclusive day if she’s really planning to get married with Wills, i don’t know, perhaps. the truth is only she’s know that. Catherine i wanna ask for you, are a tea drinker can make your teeth become changing?
July 25th, 2008 08:59
Tea and coffee are very bad for staining teeth as well as smoking and blueberries. Usually dentist here in the U.S. say drink out of a straw as much as possible if getting professional teeth whitening done. Not always easy to do with every beverage though. Just about all of our toothpaste here have some type of whitener in them anyway. Just not professional grade. Whitening here in the U.S. is very common and really not that big of a deal. It’s expensive and not covered through dental insurance. Usually cost about $1,000 or more.
July 25th, 2008 09:55
I like Kate’s smile
July 25th, 2008 10:02
Her teeth have always been white, that they make this gossip in a 2nd paragraph article from Fox has no “significant” meaning, it would or should be a titled headline if it where meant to be a “news”. Anyone dentitst concious with bad to perfect teeth now that whatever and how you have your teeth, it is advised to go twice (2) a year.
July 25th, 2008 10:03
*now is know
July 25th, 2008 10:16
Hello,
Check advert to left of original Fox article on KM’s teeth.
The whole article is bunkum based on EEC requirement to bring UK level to Europe with ‘bank holidays, and also current demands by unions for money to Labour party for more holidays and benefits for unemployed and low paid workers.
July 25th, 2008 12:04
As I have said before, Kate and Chelsy are beautiful girls. I don’t know them personally, so really no one knows what they are like and what we get of them is through photos and print stories. You take what you want from them, but if we are only to post when there are confirmed stories of Kate, William, etc. then we wouldn’t be posting that much and there would not be blogs created for the purpose of talking about RF. They don’t talk about RF that much in the U.S. unless it’s something like a ceremony, etc. I come onto this site because, like the rest of you I too am interested in the RF and I am guessing that they are discussed more in the UK. But I think it’s little silly when someone corrects others for mispelling words, when you get the jest of what the person is saying. This is not grammer school and we all make mistakes. From reading other postings on here, some don’t even understand English that well and it’s not fair to them when we all just want to talk about the RF. IMO.
July 25th, 2008 12:28
Didn’t he break up with her after that photo was taken,that year. She has nice teeth I think though, I doubt it means much about any announcement coming. After seeing Kate carrying out boxes at her parents business, I think she’s still auditioning for someone, not sure who,maybe the Queen isn’t convinced yet.
July 25th, 2008 12:33
I wouldn’t read too much into her carrying those boxes out. I help my partner when he needs small jobs done in his firm. It makes more sense than having to pay someone overtime. Besides, she was not dressed in the way someone would be if they were planning on doing that sort of work ( a pretty skirt and a top)- perhaps suitable for an office environment (although maybe to casual for some), but not for manual work. Her parents probably needed something done and asked her, which is fair enough.
July 25th, 2008 12:39
I agree.
July 25th, 2008 12:45
My guess is Kate works inside Party Pieces in some kind of office… perhaps taking the orders or organizing accounts. I wouldn’t think the owner’s daughter cleans out boxes as a main job description. But like most family businesses, family members do tend to become all-rounders. I have worked for my parents in the past, and doing manual labor is definitely not unusual, even if I did stay at the office most of the time.
July 25th, 2008 13:02
I don’t know. I think that Kate does work there but just doing the small jobs that need doing i.e. clear something out, take photos, that sort of thing. The only articles we have had say that she is only doing small work. If she did have a major position within the company, it would be publicized. After all, her friends have spoken to the press before to clear her name when there is criticism, I am sure that they would do so again if she really did have a proper job.
July 25th, 2008 13:25
Merrick that picture was taken a year before that happend. Whatever she’s doing at the family’s business is very low key that the paps won’t bother her which is good. But it just goes to show that everyone is very excited about William & Kate and they deserve that happiness. She always had a beautiful smile and the press is just making a big deal about it. As far as the PM meeting with the royals over the announcement for next year will be in secret and even though we have knowledge that is what happens before it’s announced to the public, I highly doubt we will hear another story like that because this will be private. But you can see that the media is getting ready it and ITV will be airing their documentary on the couple.
July 25th, 2008 13:58
I dunno if it’s a good thing that she talks to moles.
July 25th, 2008 14:04
“Didn’t he break up with her after that photo was taken,that year. She has nice teeth I think though”……………………………..quote
Yes just as I said, He DUMPED her AFTER that photo. I think William is way too unpredictable. I think all those predicting engagement for these two will be sadly diasappointed, I don’t think he’s going to marry her ever. I think this is a dragged out romance that will come to a slow end by the end of the year,( with a William and Kate will always remain good friends report.)
I sense another dumping coming.
July 25th, 2008 14:39

If the liink doesn’t work go to brunopress.com, chose entertainment, type in Kate Middleton and hit zoeken.
July 25th, 2008 14:48
Merrick,
Why the HUGE chip on your shoulder? Yes, they broke up, we have heard through the same channels that we heard her teeth are being whitened, that he was the one that broke up with her. We also heard through those same channels, that they where hardly apart when he desperately wanted her back. Obviously, they are together again - why bring up the break-up? Jost curiousity on my part.
Now, I have been on this site many many times, and you are particulary doubtful that they will be engaged. Are you privy to something we don’t know? Do tell!!!
If they do get engaged, I wonder what your reaction will be? Will you be happy for them and admit you where wrong, or will you say he did it our of obligation and for purposes of saving his reputation? Honestly, I really am curious as to what you are thinking, although I sound sarcastic - I really just want to know, perhaps your opinion will be insightful. I ask because sometimes when we hear someone else’s logic who we don’t necessarily agree with, something clicks and then your thought makes sense.
July 25th, 2008 15:04
TeaTea,
People like Merrick don’t have a life and are green with envy about Kate. You can always tell by the tone of their comments. Some who are critical of Kate do so in a respectful manner. And you can tell they don’t mean any harm. Most others though are just haters. They are always desperately predicting a break up. It’s what they want to happen not what will happen. As you said William has already experienced life without Kate and he sure didn’t like it one bit. That is why they got back together. That’s why he has in the last year given Kate the acknowledgment she deserves. He’s preparing her for life as his wife. Unfortunately, those like Merrick are still in denial.
July 25th, 2008 15:25
There’s not much people like that. An IT (IT, for Information Technology Dept) friend in the DM told me as a fact that there web site has a screening that allows to monitor the comments: wording and IP address repeats. And its not casual that not only from the same IP addresses but even if the commentator knows that something is right, they will deny it as wrong - I don’t know where they thru in a tidbit in an article to see reaction, but I will find out.
nikki, I think you understand what I mean that there is not much people like that ! Believe me.
July 25th, 2008 15:43
Its very easy, if you have high tec when making a poll via internet, so the IP address my not repeat in the poll, same is applied to comments.
July 25th, 2008 17:47
There is no way William will break up again and Merrick I am surprised you suggest this. She has attended too many prominent events lately for him to break up now. Kate would not be attending royal weddings without Wills if they were not moving to the next stage in their relationship. I think she is lying low because that’s what CH, RF want her to do until announcement is made. I also think she would have gotten a full time job, if they were not going to marry. Kate has always looked fantastic, but I do think that she is doing minor things to herself and I see that as a sign that something is to come.
July 25th, 2008 20:43
Of course he’ll dump her again, that’s what he’s done several times, it’s his modus operandi, dump her, then go back to her and I’ll be here on the board on the day they break up again.
Chelsy has gone to a wedding where the Queen was and events where Royalty was.
Until we see the Queen standing talking to Kate as she did in view of photographers with Autumn, then I’ll believe she’s really on her way to an engagement.
…..I have no desire to remove your opinions here of me, think what you want or need to. It is you who always say something personal to me, just becuase I said I don’t think William will ever marry her. I just don’t think he will marry her, it’s my opinion. Why do you care what I think anyway.
Until I see her standing on the lawn next to William discussing the engagement, I think anything can and will happen with these two. In my opinion William does not appear to ready to take a wife at 26, I just don’t see it happening or the RF going for it. William is too unpredictable and a divorce 10 years down the road will be a nightmare and I don’t think William’s marriage at this point would last a lifetime to anyone. The press needs to get off the guys back and stop with the wedding pushing, Give him a break, leave the guy alone.
William has to establish himself as a working Royal on his own.
The Queen hasn’t been spotted with Kate and she’s had a few chances at this point. I think the jury is still out on whether or not Kate will make it to wife.
July 25th, 2008 20:53
Fair opinion Merrick. However, IF (when) they get engaged will you concede you where wrong??
July 25th, 2008 20:54
Yes and wait for the next breakup.
July 25th, 2008 21:30
Perhaps you’d have breakups and that’s why your thinking ahead of breakups. Move on.
July 25th, 2008 22:03
Me,
So true. Some people who have had terrible relationships often project their issues onto other people. Unhappy people generally don’t like seeing others happy either. Kind of pathetic to sit around waiting for a couple you don’t know to split up. But to each his own. What’s really funny is that William and Kate broke up well over a YEAR AGO. Very short breakup too, maybe a few weeks tops. April 2007 it was this is now July 2008. There’s plenty of time for Kate to be seen with the queen before or after the engagement is announced.
July 25th, 2008 22:16
Equating Chelsy and Kate is wrong too. Chelsy has not been anywhere without Harry and the few events she has been to have all been related to Harry. Speaking of being seen with the queen I notice the anti Kate people seem to forget that Kate has been pictured with Prince Charles deerstalking on the Balmoral Estate. She clearly has the approval of the Prince of Wales.
July 25th, 2008 22:29
Soo true nikki and I know that’s not far off. We all know that she has been in the company of Her Majesty many times like The Garter service and lunch, Peter’s wedding/reception and private times that we don’t hear about. Chelsy has met the Queen at the recent Phillips wedding so it’s only a matter of time that she is pictured with The Queen. It’s not our job to point out to Merrick that things are getting more interesting by the day, but Merrick just have to stop ignoring the proof and face the facts but not everyone likes happiness and we got to face that fact too.
July 26th, 2008 00:41
I am getting bored of KM and PW royal wedding speculations. Ever since they graduated from st. andrews university the same thing has been said over and over again: PW and KM are going to anounce their engagement pretty soon because
1. The queen invited KM to chrismast dinner
2. KM declined the invitation cause she wants to
spend her last chrismasts with her family
before she marries,
3. KM quit her job to prepare herself to become
a princes,
4. KM and PW went on a holiday cause they
want to talk more about their future royal
wedding
5. KM is going to receive guard protection
because an engagement is coming,
6. KM has been attending royal weddings cause
she is getting engaged to PW
7. and BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH AND BLAH…….
All of these stories have turned out to be just lies and gossip that at the end if KM and PW really become engaged no one is going to believe it and everyone is going to be so tired and bored of hearing the same thing over and over again that no one is going to care any longer.
It is obvious that this article is just trash and gossip that the mediat is using just because it has nothing else to talk about and it has to make money out of something.
Sorry guys but all of this just seems so stupid to me.
July 26th, 2008 01:04
That’s okay Sonia, we just have to face facts that William & Kate is keeping us all on our toes and gives us little hints that gets us excited. It does become boring everynow and then but when we get good news and see the happiness on their faces, we just can’t help but to talk about it. Right now everybody is looking foward to seeing the change that will happen when William & Harry get their new office’s and start taking charge over things. The celebrations for Charles’s birthday.
July 26th, 2008 01:12
Sonia,
I totally get your frustration. It would be nice if they didn’t make things up. Just go with the truth and the facts and that would be enough. That’s why I try not to believe everything that’s said or written about William and Kate. It’s tough trying to sort through all the gossip, rumor, and innuendo to get to what is really happening. But you can be sure that when the big announcement is made people will care and anybody who isn’t opposed to this couple will believe it and be happy for them.
July 26th, 2008 02:36
PRETTY - You make the nastiest comments on this site constantly - why do you feel the need to do that? As for Kate being a “drunk future Queen”, I’ve never seen photos of her drunk but I have seen Chelsy drunk and William and most definitely Harry. You obviously hate Kate Middleton and that accounts for the cruel remarks and your double standards.
July 26th, 2008 02:40
MERRICK - Why don’t you and PRETTY get together and go prancing off into your bitter little worlds. Your comments are so predictable and boring at this point.
July 26th, 2008 02:52
Hello,
I don’t know if PW reads newspapers, but I am sure his so called advisors do.
When will he or they recognise the almost uncontrollable damage these untrue or speculative articles about KM, her lack of this ,that and the other is doing. Not only to a young couple in a loving relationship, but to a Monarchy.
It has not yet reached the position of being almost unrealistic but in years to come all these doubts and hurtful comments will be regurgitated at every small episode, not only in the marriage,should it happen,but in and before PW ascension to his throne.
His own doubts when very young as to if he wanted to be King, his prevarication as to when he wanted to get married,and even the numerous small lovers tiffs which popular press insist upon callin ‘break ups’.
Newspaper files and photographs are kept for ever and recalled at will. and this damaging insecurity or inability to commit will be thrown at Him at every conceivable occasion and will start next weekend when he returns from the Caribbean.
If this relationship continues to drift as it has every likelihood of doing two young lives will be hung out to dry. Expectation is in the air and if that expectation is not fulfilled then expect a renewal and increased intensitity of attacks at the weakest point.
KM.
And contiue they will and eventually will damage even the strongest of ties.
If the new advisors are in place they have to act and act quickly.
PW. It yes or No and it now or possibly never.
July 26th, 2008 03:12
If they marry they marry and congrats to them. But there is the possibility that they will break up instead just as there is in any relationship. I doubt that they will but they may do- we were surprised last year when we thought that there would be an announcement not a break up.
Jade- a friendly word- be careful with some of your comments. I understand your points and I agree but I would not want you to be told off/”attacked” etc. for your comments being too strong. Just a bit of advice
I think that over the summer we will find out a lot more about PW and KM and nearer Christmas we will find out how serious they are together.
July 26th, 2008 03:20
i really like her smile, every lady will surely be jealous wid her because of her beautiful smile. if it comes to the catherine’s tea drinking its good, rather than drinking coffee, tea is much healthy.
July 26th, 2008 03:58
hello everyone .
Merrick doesn’t like Kate ? !…. how could you Merrick ? everyone on this planet must love kate becaue she is on of her kind .and how could you not believe in this love story ?Surely you are jealous .Can’t we have different point of view?Please try to be a fan but don’t be fanatic .
July 26th, 2008 04:44
sami,
Merrick just isn’t worth bothering about she hasn’t an original thought in her empty head.
She latches on to comments made by others and tries to enhance her own obvious frailties. She’s never been any different and has this personality problem and wishes she was someone else possible more important than she considers herself to be.
sami, she just doesn’t deserve recognition by commenting on her stolen erroneous views.
Just ignore her, most others on here do.
July 26th, 2008 05:37
Actually I believe that merrick does have a point. It might not be the one that we all agree with but it is important as it is his/hers (sorry don’t know which) opinion.
I think that some comments about merrick are only being said because merrick’s views disagree with their own. I think that it is very unfair that you should say that merrick has a personality problem. Do you know merrick? Just because he/she has a different opnion it does not mean that they are crazy. I am sure that merrick does not wish to be more important that (s)he is, the opinion is just different from others.
I don’t agree with some of what merrick has said but I do think that a valuable point has been made when (s)he said that they could break up again. Others soon replied that they will not, but why not? Because William has taken her out on several important events? Harry has done that with Chelsy but several people yesterday said that they did not think that Harry and Chelsy would marry and remain together. Yes, Kate has been out with William more but then William has had many more important occasions when she would be there. These same people argue that William and Kate will marry and that people argue some points because they do not know the couple. Well, unless you know the couple, you cannot say that they will definately marry, because there is every possibility that they will break up.
Sami is right, everyone has a different point of view and everyone deserves to be respected. Why is that when someone says something negative about Kate, they are accussed of being jealous, cruel and nasty? Likewise, when someone makes a positive comment about Kate they are accussed of being a Kate worshipper who refuses to hear anything negative about her? Can’t we please just accept that some people like her and others don’t just as some people like other royals and some people don’t. Kate is not perfect, as nobody is and people all see her in different lights and sees her good and bad points.
July 26th, 2008 07:05
B,
I am not sure I agree with all your comments but I do agree that PW could possibly walk away from KM for reasons which may or may not coincide with his true feelings.
This is only a private view because there are some signals which may lead one to believe that KM is not entirely acceptable to certain high ranking Royals.
However, PW’s indecisiveness in not dealing with his problems at an earlier stage when he could more easily have walked away from , some think, a controversial relationship.
That he did not make a decision and the way he he’s handled it will reflect badly in his future as a King in waiting.
His easiest option is to propose and marry KM, his hardest is to finally walk away from her.
However, past history points to an option that he may do neither and let matters drift on and on until KM ,in frustration, herself walks, but even that may also show his indecisiveness in crisis situations.
In Military parlance, hardly a candidate for high office.
What can be said with certainty is that he is now in a position when he is damned if he does and damned if he doesnn’t.
Not an enviable position for a young man possibly with inner conflict.
July 26th, 2008 07:53
Ther are no signs whatsoever that Prince William doesn’t love Kate Middleton. Only a few people posting on a couple of royal forums see these signs. And they would see something wrong in everything concerning Kate Middleton. That’s how simple it really is. If you bother to stick your nose into the real world you would understand this. Or don’t read these forums for a couple of weeks. Read the serious ones with knowlegdable and experienced royal watchers instead and you will be amazed how the reality is wnen it comes to Prince William and Kate Middleton.
July 26th, 2008 08:22
dagy,
I have never doubted their love for one another but PW is a King in waiting and normal rules don’t apply.
I have tried to trace the origin of many of the derogatory comments about KM over the past fifteen months and over half, to my knowledge so far ,originate from CH or PB sources.
If this is happening consistently why have CH and/or BP sources not attempted to stop them or at least counter them by an occasional positive comment released surreptitiously. I have been unable to trace a single comment of this nature but many derogatory ones.
Ask yourself why ?
PW must not and I repeat dare not go against his family’s wishes so why do these comments against KM continue to flow unceasingly.
That was the basis of my earlier comment not PW/KM’s love for one another. In the affairs of state that is of secondary importance. PW’s task is to change opinion at high level and change it quickly.
July 26th, 2008 08:36
As simple as they have never replied to the press
July 26th, 2008 08:54
Me,
I’m not asking for a direct reply to the press.
As bad stories are released anonymously why is it that nice stories are not released also anonymmously.
Can you recall an instance of a nice story being released ?
I can’t but trace many bad ones.
July 26th, 2008 09:28
Ked, I agree. Why do they not post the photos of Kate working from the bruno press? I guess that is not considered a real enough job for them. Very sad about Eliza boyfriend. Where did you get the info on that?
July 26th, 2008 09:40
I think the biggest problem is mis-information and people who choose to conveniently forget hard facts. For instance, Merrick mentioned that Chelsy attended a wedding where real Royals were in attendance and the Queen was also. It seems strange that Merrick forgot to mention that Kate Middleton was at that EXACT SAME WEDDING along with Chelsy; forgetting to mention that Kate arrived in the car with Harry and Chelsy, and was photographed sitting side by side with Chelsy at the wedding, as a matter of fact!
How could something that pertinent be overlooked? Well I believe it wasn’t overlooked, I Merrick just wants to avoid any real facts. The facts are that Kate Middleton has visited Balmoral, Sandringham, and Birkenhall. She has stood on the Garter porch during the Knight of the Garter parade, and she had a seat in the Garter Chapel. She was photographed standing next to the Duchess of Cornwall and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, and she arrived at the Knight of the Garter ceremony in an official car with Prince Harry and Helen Asprey.
Those are very concrete indications that Kate is important to Wills, and that he continues to make her presence a part of the important milestones in his life. Kate was also present at his wings ceremony, and she sat next to Diana’s sister! No matter what any of us say, the facts remain that William has been very very visible with Kate this year, and he seems to have done it very purposely.
Not only that, but those who keep predicting a break up keep getting it wrong. The last break up took place in April 2007. It’s almost August 2008, and not only are Wills and Kate together again, but they’ve been together again for over a year. In one week it will be August, and Wills and Kate will be off on a holiday together. Last August Wills took Kate to the Seychelles, and shocked all of the naysayers. A year later, they’re still together and Kate has attended more important events in William’s life than ever before. Although it’s not sensible to never say never, (because humans sometimes do totally unexpected things) I really do doubt that Wills is about to break up with Kate any time soon, if ever.
July 26th, 2008 09:49
Just finished reading others comments, trying to catch up, so I’m throwing a theory out there again. No one thought that Camilla would ever be more than Charles mistress, let alone his wife and now she is DC. Camilla ran in royal circles, but was not acceptable for him to marry long ago. C&C marriage changed it all and I don’t see why Kate could not marry William after his father married his mistress? CH might not like it, but maybe that is why William wants his own PR person. But it is true that William life is not his own, so maybe RF are hoping for a girl with royal bloodlines. If that’s the case, they should marry him off to Princess Madeleine of Sweden.
July 26th, 2008 09:56
Mapleleaf, you said it all, what can I add is that they won’t take the pressure of the press - bad press.
July 26th, 2008 10:31
mapleleaf, you sum it up nicely… and objectively.
gracie, I’m not sure why the newspapers haven’t picked up on the pictures of Kate working at Party Pieces. My 2 guesses:
(1) They’re in a cycle when they want to put Kate down and prove that she doesn’t work at all. I believe the media usually goes through the building-destroying cycle. They built her up and praised her rotten 1-2 years ago… now it’s time for some destruction. You sell more papers that way
(2) The pictures from Bruno Press are intrusive and cannot be used by the British media because they don’t have rights to it. I’m not sure how to explain it… but many of the foreign picture sites have captions that read: “Not for use in the UK” or something along those lines. Foreign photogs don’t abide by UK media laws, so they continue to pursue. It happened in Klosters. Perhaps the same thing is happening now.
July 26th, 2008 10:34
dagy,
Right you are! I’ve been following the British royals for several years, particularly William and Kate. Reading the magazines, books, and newspapers. It wasn’t until I started coming to royal websites and forums that I would read these extremely negative views of their relationship that don’t seem to have any basis in reality.
mapleleaf,
You’re spot on with your analysis of how the Kate haters conveniently forget certain FACTS. It’s clear to most there has been a change in Ms. Middleton’s status going back to when they got together again last year. The proof is there- the stay with C&C at Birkhall, standing with Camilla and Sophie at the Garter, Kate is permitted to attend for William at Peter’s wedding, and they’ve allowed themselves to be seen touching or being close like at the Boxing Ball and the birthday party at the Beaufort. But some people just choose to ignore all this because it doesn’t fit with their theory about Kate M not being important to William.
July 26th, 2008 10:36
What will come will come and we will all be here to gossip about it when it does.
It would be better for them to break up rather than marry and risk divorce, if William is unsure. However, I want them to marry if William is sure. (Hope that makes sense). They can still break up and there maybe a little back stab at William but I hope that the public realize that not all relationships are meant to be and people change. There is no reason to suggest they would break up at the moment as Mapleleaf said but it could happen.
However, I disagree when Mapleleaf said that some people keep predicting a break up. I don’t think I’ve read anyone say that (at least not in the forums I post in). What people do say is that it is still possible, but unlikely to happen. A couple of people predicted the break up last year but a majority did not and said that those people who were predicting a break up were just making trouble. We could be wrong again (although hopefully we won’t be).
I don’t think we will find out either way for another 18 months though.
July 26th, 2008 10:38
gracie,
If the royals accepted Mrs. Parker Bowles, the mistress of the Prince of Wales for God knows how many years, then there is no way for them to be opposed to Catherine Middleton. There may be some members of the family or courtiers who do not like Kate. That’s their right. It’s Her Majesty however who has the final say on these matters. If she said yes to Camilla she won’t say no to Kate.
July 26th, 2008 10:58
From my point of view, Prince William was never going to marry anyone before he finished his military commitments. Doesn’t make sense for him to do so. Why get married and then not be present to help his wife adjust to her new role? He would be foolish to rely on courtiers to help- look at what happened to Sarah Ferguson when Andrew was away with the navy. No, William needs to be around & in charge of things to make sure his wife is treated with respect. It’s forgotten sometimes that W&K met while they were at St Andrews. Kind of easy to date when you’re in college and don’t have the pressures of the outside world. But William would need to see if they could stay together in the real world, his world. The media look silly for constantly hyping wedding speculation even when there was no reason in the world to think William and Kate had ever thought of marriage.
July 26th, 2008 11:22
I agree nikki but this logic will remain to be unheard by those who love to question everything about Will and Kate. You know, they are not allowed to be dating for more than 4 years without an engagement even though every other young member of the RF has been in a relationship just as long.
July 26th, 2008 11:24
I’ll be here on the day the new break up occurs.
I don’t think this relationship if going to marriage at all.
July 26th, 2008 11:26
Exactly Trixie, a lot of people these days date for well over 5 years before marrying because they want to have careers/ fun before settling down. I think that because there are so many options and so much more freedom for men and women now, they have to ensure that they really want the same things before marrying.
IMO, just let Kate and William get on with and whatever will be, will be.
July 26th, 2008 11:51
Always with the personal, you guys are cute though, I like this group here. You always take it so personal when someone doesn’t think William will marry Kate and throw personal attacks.
P.S. I’ve been married for well over a decade.
Still don’t think William is marrying anytime soon and not to Kate.
July 26th, 2008 13:01
Merrick good for you. Perhaps time will prove you right or wrong. We’d have to wait for that, as per now they are not even engaged yet.
July 26th, 2008 13:31
Good for anyone who has been married that long! It takes work, and even then, it takes more work. That’s why Big Al and I spent the last three days at Myrtle Beach, to rekindle the love, so to speak. It didn’t work :), but anyways, I wish Kate and William all the best because if they can make it for 5+ years, they can make it to fifty.
July 26th, 2008 14:13
I have been married since I was 21 yrs. I don’t recommend marrying so young, but 15yrs later my husband and I are still in it together. In a sense we have grown up together and that makes for a tight bond. I think that William and Kate have faced alot of challenges and still more to come, but they continue to be together. William probably trust her more than anyone in his life and meeting Kate at the age they did makes for a unique bond. I think theirs would have ended long ago if they were not in it for the long haul. Unless there is some infidelity issues that happen, I see them staying together. I watched this program here in the U.S. on the Travel Channel- 10 best British Castles. Anyway, they mentioned that all future Prince of Wales are knighted. Some of you, being from UK might know this already and think I am foolish for not knowing this. So I start to think that Queen is preparing for RF future and that must be why William was knighted so young, because he will be Prince of Wales one day. Learn something new everyday!
July 26th, 2008 14:20
Hello,
have my own reasons why PW and KM will take some time before moving on but I still think they could be a item.
Merrick, perhaps you could give a specific list of reasons why they may not eventually marry thus confirming your oft repeated posts on this poibt.
We would all be interested.
July 26th, 2008 15:13
Ked
I actually believe B is right.
I think merrick just has a point but that doesn’t mean she has a personality disorder. People have different points of view and just because they have a different point of view from you and other people that doesn’t mean that they have a personility disorder. This is what I have been trying to tell you. If you really like KM and think the best things of her, well I respect your opinion but if there are other people who think not so good things of KM then I think you should respect their opinion and stop telling that they have problems with themselves. Again these are just points of views. YOu say that you get mad when a person (like Carla) repeat the bad comments over and over again under the disguise of many differnt people, but I get the perception that this is not the case. I get the perception that you get mad when someone makes bad comments about KM whether they are repeated or not.
And about what you say of PW not checking this website to learn all the bad things that are being said of KM, well I think he doesn’t check because he doesn’t care what other people think of KM and his relationship with her. He is the only one who knows KM really well and the relationship he has with her, so if these comments said about KM are false why would he care about what other people think. In that case he would only care that he knows these statements are false and nothing else. People are always going to make these type of comments when it comes to a high profile couple like them so there is no point of why PW should care what other people think. You will never satisfy people anyways.
July 26th, 2008 16:33
Sonia,
Sorry but Merrick & people like him/her don’t just have a different point of view. This person stated they were “waiting for the next breakup”. That is not normal. Who sits around looking forward to a couple they don’t know to break up? Most happy and well adjusted people want others to enjoy life. They don’t hope for bad things to happen to good people. It’s one thing to think it is possible that William and Kate may not get married. It’s quite another to wish for it. But as I said to each his own. The haters won’t stop the rest of us from being optimistic about W&K’s future.
July 26th, 2008 16:42
sonia,
It isn’t so much the fact that things are said about KM. She is only the Girlfriend of PW at present, but she may be the a future Queen of this country.
THe things that are said about KM now will continue to be held on file and then in years to come when they are resurrected they will be held to be the truth especially when they are repeated time after time.
It is that repitition that I object to. Yes by all means express an opinion but do not go out to destroy a reputation by repeating comments that are only opinions and in most cases are not true.
People like Merrick repeat their own comments time after time and they then compount issues by linking up with comments made by others.
I find it difficult to hate anyone especially people I have not met and meeting them will enable me to make my own opinion. In a similar way I find it difficult to accept views from people who say they hate people they have never met.
What is it they hate, a life style ? If so that is envy and jealousy because what else is there to hate.
That is why I have asked Merrick to quantify what it is that she hates about KM. If she’s unable to respond then we can make our own minds up about her.
Sorry sonia, I am on my soap box, and apologise.
July 26th, 2008 17:00
Yes waiting and wishing does tell some people form vs bjective speech who perhaps give valid reasons, and one can tell, you don’t need to be a BRW oldie to know, even if I’m one of them oldies.
July 26th, 2008 17:30
Maybe people should concentrate on their own relationships instead of bugging Prince William?
Thank you.

Do you guys think Kate will be at the Cartier International Polo contest tomorrow? Or do you think she won’t attend?
July 26th, 2008 18:08
Kate’s planning a vacation. The DM always has to put some kind of negative spin to the article. Alot of wives, girlfriends plan trips because maybe their significant other wants them to or is to busy to plan for one. Unless she is dragging William on a trip he doesn’t want I don’t see it as a big deal. Yet, as we have mentioned they never show photos of her working and then they say she just sits around all day. The Sun has this article in the travel section and I swear the picture they attach to it looks like Kate. I’m sure it is not, but the girl in photo could be a decoy for Kate if she ever needed one!
July 26th, 2008 18:15
Ked, I am curious to know what your reasons are for Kate and William moving on. Do you run in some of the same social circles as they do? I miss Will’s post he seemed to have some type of inside knowledge on them.
July 26th, 2008 18:47
The NOTW has some insightfull news
July 26th, 2008 18:54
OMG too many articles, Steven BRW.
Daily Star has an article too.
July 26th, 2008 19:23
Okay, okay. I know the media is getting ready for all of this but we must not forget that when William gets back he will need a break so I don’t think an announcement won’t come until the end of this year or early next year. But maybe I’m wrong, you can really feel the excitement here.
July 26th, 2008 19:59
it’s not clear what level of influence the monarchy has over the british media
but, at the very least, as has been suggested, they/it can make some positive statements about km, to counteract the unendingly bad press she receives
and, some of the articles have been downright spiteful and vicious
one in particular was ghastly—where it commented on her outfit at the first wedding….it was just about the most vicious and mean-spirited thing i’ve read so far
i guess the gist of what’s being said is:
pw has to propose soon, and should start integrating km into royal protocal and duties asap….
if he fails to propose soon, the negative media reports will so stigmatize km and so jeopardize any potential future marriage as to effectively ruin her chance of a happy marriage, or even of any marriage at all, with pw
pw had his chance, earlier, to definitively end things with km but dithered and pursued her further
now that he’s been back with her for over a year, he cannot take the proactive move of breaking up with her again without appearing a cad, or worse
if he doesn’t want to marry her, the only way out is to prolong this limbo state they’re in, and let her drift away on her own
this would not only leave km’s image and prospects diminished in many ways, it would similarly harm pw’s image as a man and his prospects as a potential monarch
so…..he had darned well better propose asap
July 26th, 2008 20:18
or end it you mean to say. Cause who other girl, even if he decides to break it want to be with him and the baggage, etc. even when he is 32 lets say.
Never say never but a repeat of C&D
July 26th, 2008 20:46
Well Prince Andrew did say in a recent interview that you just don’t talk to the press. He is right and if you have something great to say about a charity or other issues then it’s okay to say something. But they just ignore the press and they have done that for a longtime. They just don’t comment on silly stories. I’m not really worried about the announcement because it will come in it’s due time. Negitive comments do not have an effect on what they do. I’m counting down the days that he gets back.
July 26th, 2008 20:54
Rman,
That’s true for the royals and lots of prominent people or celebrities. They figure if you respond to one negative story you’ll pretty much have to respond to them all. Therefore they keep quiet unless it is something really damaging.
July 26th, 2008 20:55
like a PCC complaint
July 26th, 2008 21:38
Rman,
Very exciting stuff indeed! It will be a real treat seeing William in his new role. Something caught my eye while reading through all the new reports- the News of the World said W&K couldn’t marry next year because of William’s expanded duties. That’s different from most other sources isn’t it? The Telegraph, Evening Standard, etc have been reporting the engagement was likely to be announced later this year or around the spring of next year. Does the NOTW mean the wedding itself won’t happen next year or the engagement too?
July 26th, 2008 21:43
Very different, 2010
July 26th, 2008 21:43
She will be at the Cartier International Polo…
July 26th, 2008 22:12
I think NOTW just put it off because William will be very busy but I have a feeling that the announcement will come later this year or early next year. NOTW just reproted it like that.
July 26th, 2008 22:20
I think the” news of the world” article implies what I’ve been saying.
William will be occupied for the next two years with Royal duty. I’m not sure the Palace will want him to take on a fiancee at this time, despite the press telling everyone, engagement is around the corner.
-NEWS OF THE WORLD:” The Queen and Prince Charles have drawn up a secret two-year intensive training programme which he will start when he quits military life in the New Year”.end quote:——————————————–
I think Kate has another two year wait to see what is going to happen with them.
William could very well meet someone when he is sent abroad to represent the Queen.
NEWS OF THE WORLD:————————–
William’s apprenticeship means any plans to marry girlfriend Kate Middleton will be put on hold until at least 2010. :
——————————————————
Kate on hold, more waiting.
July 26th, 2008 22:41
Rman,
Come to think of it they can make the announcement in say March of 2009. Then not have the wedding for several months later. I have no idea how long it takes to plan the important royal weddings but probably a few months at least. That way Kate will have official status and can accompany William to events she might not be able to otherwise. We’ve had kind of a drought for what William’s plans are so I’m happy we’re finally get some details. There should be more coming in as William gets back from the navy.
July 26th, 2008 23:15
Rman,
Perhaps you can now understand what I’ve tried to explain over the past months.
I repeatedly told you that any engagement/marriage, would be “months possibly years way” and wouldn’t be before 2010.
Rman can you accept that now
July 26th, 2008 23:46
ked,
I shouldn’t speak for Rman. Only to say that I’m assuming he is basing his opinion off of the reports we have so far. Most of the papers including the ones from today have suggested an engagement later in the year or early next year. It is very possible that they are all incorrect & the News of the World is indeed right about 2010 being the year. However I would have thought the other papers, many of whom have a good track record with royal news, would have picked up on that by now. We’ll just have to wait & see.
July 26th, 2008 23:48
B - Who are you to lecture me? I’m not the only one on here getting annoyed and fed up with comments from Merrick and certain others so I suggest you don’t act like my parent from now on! You seem to always agree with Merrick so it makes me suspicious of you right away. Save your advice for those who constantly write nothing but nasty and negative posts about William and Kate.
July 26th, 2008 23:57
Gee MERRICK - You seem to have all the answers and the inside information. Did you just have dinner with Kate, Wills, Charles and The Queen?
July 27th, 2008 00:36
Jade,
Please don’t let Merrick get to you. That’s part of why he/she makes those negative comments here on a website that is supportive of William and Kate. I’m not a veteran of BRW, just started posting a little over a week ago, but it became crystal clear to me what this person’s agenda was. He/she doesn’t want to add anything to the conversation or engage in a substantive debate. It’s just about finding yet another place to express the jealousy and envy of Ms. Middleton. Hopefully the site moderators will start to ban people like that. Until then we should try to ignore it.
July 27th, 2008 00:49
Merrick, what I’m saying is that William & Kate can become engaged later this year or early next year and she can accompany him to engagements and support him, which she is doing already. That won’t hurt William’s training to become King at all. That is what royal experts are saying. A lot of change is coming and as royal experts are saying that she is part of that change now. Her appearences at The Garter Service and her sitting with the royal family at Peter & Autumn’s wedding tells us that she is part of the royal scene now. Camilla did the same thing before her engagement to Charles and The Countess of Wessex also did the same thing. Kate is now following in their footsteps and she is doing it well. Watch my word, you will see more of her accompaning William to events like the celebrations for Charles’s birthday and other occasions. The events earlier this year was just a taste. If they don’t become engaged soon, that won’t stop her from attending formal events. If The Countess of Weesex and Camilla can do it, so can she.
July 27th, 2008 00:49
Thank you NIKKI and I agree. From now on I am not even going to read Merrick’s posts because I’ll know there’s just going to be some nasty or ignorant remarks made.
July 27th, 2008 00:58
I simply read the Newspapers. With William being set in motion for a two year stint with a Royal apprenticeship, I really doubt anything in the way of a engagement will happen in the next two years. Just read the news.
It’s in several British Newspapers.

July 27th, 2008 01:56
Merrick, she will be there to support him all the way through.They will get through this together. Now that’s that.
July 27th, 2008 02:05
I don’t know if it will happen this way but I do still think that it would be best to allow William just several months to get to used to public duties first.
Otherwise, William will just be learning what to do and will be nervous and he will have a future bride who he would have to help and support (it will be harder for Kate to learn because she would not have been part of any royal engagement before). I think that to make the transistion from military to royal duties easier, they should wait a few months. It will also give Kate a chance to see William take on royal duties, to see what it entails etc. so that she has some idea before she actually takes part in them.
She maybe privately supporting him (at least I hope she is), but she has not been on a royal duty with him yet, so is not supporting him in that way. Yes, she has been to the Wings ceremony, Order of the Garter and a couple of weddings but they are just occasions which I would expect her to be there even if they were not about to get married. Any girlfriend would support her boyfriend in the above ceremonys and if a girl is friendly with her potential in laws, she would go to the weddings. She is part of the royal scene, I will give you that and she is seen as a girlfriend within the RF I am sure. But until an engagement I do not think she will be seen as future bride because there is always a chance of a break up.

Can’t some of you negative people not always be so miserable - just be happy for Kate and Wills if the story is true (and I do believe that Wills will marry her especially if they want children in the near future). But as far as I see from my point of view only, they look to be happy with each other and very much in love!
Again, if it happens, that’s fantastic and if not - then they both need to move on. But no matter what, I wish them both well in their lives.
Some of the people who post on here never have anything nice or upbeat to say - you are the ones to be pitied!!
