Kate Middleton’s princess diaries – New Idea Magazine
Buckingham Palace is set to give Prince William and Kate Middleton an innovative apprenticeship on how to rule the country. The Royal couple will embark on a gruelling program to learn the ins and outs on how to rule the monarchy. Most importantly, they’ll be groomed to become the world’s most glamorous couple, emulating Prince Charles and Princess Diana…
Jonathan Rhys Meyers Sympathises with Princes – Contact Music
Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers sympathises with the plight of British royals princes William and Harry – because they are just normal boys in the public eye. The star insists that the young princes have a tough life because they suffer the intrusion of the paparazzi and the media. And Meyers is convinced that unlike celebrities, William, 26, and Harry, 23, will never be able to step out of the public eye…
Kate Middleton fearful of William’s “non-operational activities” – Telegraph
As part of the process to familiarise him with the Armed Forces, Prince William is expected to call on the men of the Special Boat Service in Poole in Dorset in the autumn – which is, I hear, a matter of some concern to his girlfriend, Kate Middleton. It isn’t that she fears for his safety – and indeed Clarence House has been keen to stress that he will only be involved in “non-operational activities” – but this neck of the woods has unfortunate associations for the couple…

Wow, catherine Middleton from now must learn to how to rule the country?? but she’s still been a lover of prince William! yet to be his wife! i know, maybe Queen wants her from now to learn about that and must to be used to for that and until the moment begin, she’s have to be used to it for that and not become frightened! maybe? i don’t know
Great news isnt it Mariskaagusta?
You always making my day you know!
okay, if William likes Kate so much how come he’s been seen kissing other women?
Really, when was this ?
” Holly Branson: suddenly, it’s jobs for the girls”
“In Hollywood, it’s known as carrying on an acting dynasty. At Trump Towers, it’s called consolidating the family firm. And at Virgin, it’s known as ditching five years of medical training to join daddy’s multibillion-pound international empire.”
“If it’s not 26-year-old Holly Branson giving up her career as a junior doctor to undertake an apprenticeship with her father, it’s Kate Middleton keeping herself busy working at Party Pieces, her parents’ mail-order business.”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/portal/main.jhtml?xml=/portal/2008/08/13/ftnepotism113.xml
Its an interesting article.
“”There’s a real challenge in working for a family firm, because you have to become an expert in everything, whether that is logistics or marketing.”
“There’s a real challenge in working for a family firm, because you have to become an expert in everything, whether that is logistics or marketing.”
You mention Holly Branson I’ve always said to my friends that amongst all the ladies that were once linked to PW, (Isabella etc) the only person I would judge fit for being a future queen is Holly. Without looking at physical appearance long legs,buetiful smile etc, if we were to focus on the role itself, I am 55% confident about HB. I’ve worked with her she is always willing to take responsibilty, focussed, goal-driven and result oriented.
However, that doesnt change my longterm dream to see Princess Anne crowned as the next queen. PW or PH thereafter.
The Telegraph mentions Holly, Kate, Trump daughter and it basically talks about all around FAMILY BUSINESS.
Doesn’t mention nothing at all about personal tastes of who would be to the authors opinion better suited or I like this girl better then that one.
sarah,
I am interested in your comment about PW and would be grateful for further information and your reason for saying that.
It is important that you quantify what you say with information ,correct or incorrect, on the comment made.
Please !
Me,
Yes I do understand the telegraph article, I am not necessarily basing my post on it, but am just saying under general cover. Please dont get me wrong.
ked,
it’s in the third article, read through the whole thing.
sarah, you are referring to old news 2007, where the author of the article says that Kate ‘would’ fear…dorset…
But you see, the author is using his imagination, just like any poster with our “theories” of what might, would, guessing.
well if that makes you feel better me!
if he isn’t out kissing other girls he should be – this is the time in his life to sow his wild oats OR face doing it when he is married and 40 and we all know that would be a disaster!
Maybe he doesn’t have any “wild oats” to sow? Why do some believe that men have to sleep around in their 20th?
if they don’t they are denying themselves something big – and it will come out in middle age – I have seen it time and time again – plus he looks so BORED with her – only laughing when Pippa was in tube with him…it is only a matter of time before this relationship emplodes – either now or when they are married – sad really
Sarah,Me, and everone,
I was intrigued to read the article in the telegraph yesterday and I was puzzled as to why it has come up at this time.
If you recall I did mention in a comment on the IOW Stag Night for PP and on the mystery of the Kenya wedding that the area had caused problems and possibly lead directly to the KM break up with PW in March/April 2007.
PW reportedly had a fling with a young lady who was escorted from his barracks at 4 am following a drunken night out in Bournemouth in 2007.
There have been numerous stories in the Wareham area of the tall guy on a powerful motor cycle with a couple of friends being frequent visitors to the area even during the weekend of the Peter/Autumn marriage.
In addition I have always understood that the press had a lot more information on an incident before/during/after the stag party in Dorset and the IOW when it wqs reported that several local females attended.
It is very interesting that this has now come up again just before PW is due in the area again for a period of time and wait to see if any other stories turn up.
I say go for it PW, your only young once, don’t let the mEddleton’s stop you!
Ked, so what would this gal/gals have to do with why William did not attend PP wedding? I was always under the impression that there was a falling out with PP/PW and the stag night was the source of it.
gracie,
PW spent time at Bovington Camp in Dorset and did get himself somewhat involved.
The Stag party was in Dorset/IOW and several local girls some known to both Princes were in attendance.
PW has spent time in the area now and again especially on his high powered Motorcycle.
Sarah I agree with you
Ked, I believe that you want to make things seem like every is OK with KM and PW.
how about the pictures where williams came up touching a girl’s breast. There have been reports mentioning that williams has confided things to other women that he didn’t want to talk to kate about, things like his feelings about his mother’s death, plus other articles that have mentioned the weakness of their relationship. These articles are from 2007, a time where we could know more of the couple’s activities and we had more chances of figuring out the strength of their relationship. Right now we don’t get to hear these types of articles any longer not probably because their relationship is strong, but probably because they are keeping a low profile and we can’t determine how strong their relationship is. But we will get to hear from them pretty soon and we will determine whether their relationship is strong or not.
Just to remind you, when the river is making a lot of noises then it means that it has a very strong water current. If so many things have been said about the weakness of KM and PW relationship, it is for some reason, dont you think so!!!!
I can’t believe that we’re rehashing last years news again. The guy gets pictured with another girl in a club and he’s labelled a cheater for life…
I do not doubt that William flirted with other girls in clubs in 2006/2007 but I’m still a strong believer that he never cheated on Kate, i.e. slept with another woman. And then we haven’t heard any such story at all this year or ever since they got back together. Looks to melike he “sowed his wild oats” already.
Where did you hear of weaknesses in their relationship, sonia? Any article I read always says how they are going “from strength to strength”
Btw. why does noone tell Kate to sleep around or are women not supposed to have “wild oats”?
ked, where do you take that information from that William spend time in Dorset recently? How could he have when he was gone with the navy for 5 weeks and before that in Mustique and Africa and is now in Mustique again?
I can’t believe anyone would take what is written in the DM or any of these tabloids seriously anymore. After all the lies they’ve told! I remember the Mirror printing some absurd story right after the break up last year saying Kate had blamed Prince Charles for her and Wills splitting up. Ha! As if Charles would have anything more to do with her if she had said that. But there he was going out deer stalking with her at Balmoral. Of course William and Harry have had their fair share of ladding around. They have women shamelessly throwing themselves at them all the time. Even the strongest, most committed man would break eventually. Now that doesn’t make it right & Kate was perfectly justified in putting her foot down. But what the Kate haters really want is not for Wills to sow any wild oats- they want him to leave a perfectly stable, loving relationship in favor of someone they deem more suitable or worthy regardless of whether it makes PW happy or not. No relationship is perfect. But if the 2 people really love and care about each other they try to work out their problems and hopefully become stronger as a couple because of them.
I agree 400% Nikki. Problems are unavoidable in any long term relationship, it’s how you deal with them that determines your success as a couple.
When my Al got laid off from his job, he applied for a job at Tim Horton’s up the street. Let’s just say he took the invitation to “join the Tim Horton team” a little too literally, and ended up overnighting at the apartment of the store manager. Needless to say, once he got home the next morning, I made darn sure he knew I how mad I was by the way I rearranged his Timbits!
He’s a keeper, though, so that’s what you gotta do as a woman, is be real patient sometimes. And learning how to make your own doughnuts helps too.
nikki, I actually have the impression that for some no woman will ever be “perfect” enough for William. Every human has flaws and if someone appeared “perfect”, I’m sure that wouldn’t be right either because any such person would of course have to be a fake… Some people I have the impression prefer William single.
I can still remember the endless dabates back in 2004/2005 whether Kate was actually his girlfriend or not. When it was impossible to denie it anymore the criticism started: She was too boring, too much of a miss-goodie-two-shoes who pretended to be perfect Princess material, of course plain looking at best, no chest, no charisma etc…
Man where they happy when the break-up story broke then all the reports about a reconciliation were immidiately dismissed as rubbish and when again it became obvious that they were together another line of Kate attack started: She’s too slutty, manipulative, doesn’t love William, is a social climber and only wants the tiara ..yadayadayada…
And since all those “arguments” still haven’t convinced William to break up with Kate for good and he actually dares look happy and steady with her, the attacks against him started. He doesn’t love her, is only with her because noone else wants him but of course is still cheating regularly (with whom I wonder when no woman wants him), doesn’t look all that good anyome anyways, is lazy and useless etc…
I’m sure the second he’d be single again, he’ll be back to being Prince charming in a heart beat. But for now nothing William and/or Kate do is right and everything is twisted and turned till a negative angle is found.
But thank God we have dream couple Harry and Chelsy to gush about. Now those two are a couple in love – not withstanding the pics of Canadian barmaids all over Harry last year or the claim by one of them that she had slept with Harry. Or the break-up rumours in late 2007 or the pics of Chelsy hugging and kissing other men or the fact that Harry just spend 4 weeks in Africa without even visiting Chelsy. But Harry isn’t a cheater of course, he’s a man in love and Chelsy isn’t a desperate hanger-on, she’s “independent”… :rolleyes:
Agree nikki, William & Catherine have such a loving and stable relationship so I don’t listen to those who say they need to date others. So things happened in the past but Kate has the upper hand in all of this and she is the chosen one so that is that.
don’t lump all people in the same boat!
I for one can see the same mistakes in Harry’s relationship as with William’s only difference is that harry and chelsy are cool and william and kate are nerdy.
Men need to sow wild oats longer than a fortnight – William hasn’t had time to explore at all. Kate has kept him from that. She distracts him with her emotional tie – He thinks no other woman could love him – that is why he sticks with her – he has never defended her or her family with this barrage of negativity (some being pure truth) but Jecca – he defended her right away. He went to Jecca’s brother’s wedding and left kate to go on her own – what loving man does that ?
Alsgal I am sorry to hear about your man – that is awful – my advice would be to move on – as would be my advice to william – heck they aren’t even married yet! and they have all these problems ? We are not talking aobut a healthy relationship at ALl it is rotten to the core…
Wow fjae, you are a medium. You are able to read Williams mind. Tell me what am I thinking right now…
William hasn’t defended Kate? I do not even remember how many times CH asked the British
press and paps to back off and leave Kate alone. Who you think asked for these statements? Charles? Did it help? No, but what else is he supposed to do? Harry said in an interview how great Chelsy is and did that stop the press from calling her names and make up all sorts of negative articles about her? No. Did he “defend” her ever since – No. Do the royals even defend themselves when they are attacked in the press -no. Don’t comment – don’t complain, that’s their motto.
I sometimes wish they would go against all the stupid gossip but I guess it’s better not to start a battle with the media and just ignore it.
Maybe when all those young royal relationships look “rotten” and the couples still stay together and appear happy that just means that there’s no truth to all the stories or they are at least largedly exaggerated rather than that there is a huge conspiracy going on that somehow forces them to remain an item when they’d rather not be? Usually the simple answer is the right one. And the simple answer is that a couple in a relationship is in love with each other…
Thanks fjae but I’m over it. When I took Capt. Spock to the Vet to be neutered I asked the Vet if there was something like that they could do for humans. He said no, but fortunately Al evetually had his prostate removed due to a medical condition, so now there’s three of us at home without prostates.
As far as William and Kate — hey, if what they’ve got going works for them, who am I to judge? Yeah, Harry may have acted all hotter for Chelsy than William does for Kate, but Harry’s warm blooded, a redhead. William’s always been a Kool Kamper and his style is less lustful, more chilled out.
I think the only problem is that a lot of people hope PW will find a girl who makes him act all passionate all of a sudden. His nature, his love style, if you will, is to be a little more laid back, logical even, about love.
As long as they’re all happy, and not skinning cats to make house slippers, then I’m OK with whatever they choose to do. I just wish them all happiness.
that’s right – don’t complain and you will get your tiara kate! Eye on the prize girl! He should have defended her like he did Jecca – PCC crap is not defending – defending is saying guess what this isn’t right what you are doing “I LOVE KATE” but he doesn’t because he doesn’t love her at all!
oh so now you are reading both their minds? they are happy?
He looked utterly bored on the boat – out of his skull bored – I doubt highly ‘they are in love’ he is too self indulgent for that
William didn’t “defend” Jecca. He issued ONE statement saying she is not and never was his girlfriend. Clearly he couldn’t do something similar for Kate since she very much is his girlfriend. He didn’t speak out about Jecca in person either. CH issued a statement just like they did on behalf of Kate. . Which member of the British royal family has ever gone public and said “I love this and that person”? Not even Harry has and he’s the most outgoing and outspoken of the lot.
Unlike you, I do not claim to know what William and or Kate feel I said they APPEAR happy, see birthday party pics and dancing pics. Obviously I have no way of knowing how they feel for each other. Of course they could be unhappy and miserable and wish to be with someone else – but why then stay together? Oh right I forgot no other owman in the whole wide world would ever want William, hence he’d rather stay with boring plain Kate than be single or “sow his wild oats”. :rolleyes:
Trixie,
Right you are! I wish Mapleleaf would repost her comments she made on that site filled with the anti Kate people about that very thing. She made excellent points like you. It’s about what you just said- because William isn’t doing what they want him to do and leave Kate Middleton now William is no longer any great prize himself or so they claim. Mapleleaf called it “sour grapes”. And the hypocrisy is just astounding. How can you out of one side of your mouth bash William as some kind of serial cheater and Kate as nothing more than a lazy social climber who feels nothing real for the prince & then out of the other side of your mouth praise Harry and Ms Davy as the ideal couple when they’ve done similar things? Like I said it’s the twilight zone.
william has said no other womean would put up with him and he thinks quiet mEddleton will do the trick.
William could have issued the same statement of Kate to get them off her back – he was dating Jecca prior to the statement – He could come out and say as I posted earlier that this isn’t right she is a private citizen and I love MY girlfriend but he doesn’t – he is weak that is why
what i see is a man terribly bored and unhappy with his situation much like his father – who after he got what he wanted he still isn’t happy so i doubt mEddelton is the answer for william – he would be better off as a bachelor or with a Mother
And nixxie – you are worse than the people you sling mudd at! I just said that I put harry down just as much as william for their transgressions – i find them abhorent – but probably a tell tale sing that they shouldn’t be tied down – Say sour grapes all you want the truth is the guy looks incredibly unhappy with her – even when there is alcohol involved – sad really – the whole thing is a train wreck
Trixie,
Thank You. You saved me a google search
I was thinking when did William ever defend Jecca? Oh, that’s right- never. So we are supposed to believe an attractive, millionaire prince is staying in a relationship with a woman he doesn’t want or love because he can’t find or thinks he won’t be able to find someone else??? Uh huh. And sleeping with as many random women across the UK as possible who will sell him out to The Sun for 100 pounds or less all in the name of sowing wild oats is going to make William’s life better how exactly?
Hi Trixie,
I didn’t say that PW was recently in Dorset but did mention approximate dates.
There were reports of a tall guy and two or three friends on powerful motorbikes in the Dorchester-Wareham-Corfe during the middle of May.
If PW was in Dorset durin middle of May it could be he was on a course prior to going into the RN. Who knows ?
On your other point remember PW is a Royal Prince and a Windsor and they are not renowned for thrie fidelity going back to 1920-30′s
It’s PW/KM’s business and I feel sure they will work it out.
By the way it’s now widely accepted that the so called “Kenya visit” was a CH bo bo and it is to be hoped their PR is now improved
He did defend Jecca in a public statement.
William got together with at least two girls that sold him out to the press – so yes he has done it and could do it again…
Kate is the easy choice for him – I beleive it is her family that is the draw for him more than anything – my thoughts
William has said in the past what girl would want me? Oh Kate will – and she will put up and shut up – with everything handed to her so i stay wit her – but IF he loved her – he would have proposed to her by now – there is no reason to wait at all -
Trixie,
Sorry for double post.
Girl with PW was not in club but was escorted from his barracks at 4 am.
That provoked split in early 2007 as PW was with KM the following week end.
wasn’t it Lisa Agar that was escorted from his barracks after he couldn’t keep his eyes open any more?
“The Sun for 100 pounds or less all in the name of sowing wild oats is going to make William’s life better how exactly?”
Sowing wild oates is a male thing – I don’t expect you to understand – if he doesn’t do it now
he will do it later – and when they are married – you should hope for his happiness not his dowfall of marrying a woman he might care about but doens’t really love
If memory serves me corectly Ked, the Royals have had a history of infidelity since about forever. Charles II, Henry the VIII, it just goes on and on.
Other than a brief and divine time in which we had Victoria and a couple of Georges who could keep their trousers zipped, there’s not a great tradition of semper fidelis in that family.
I’d sure like to think William will be faithful to Kate once they get married, and if his devotion thus far is anything to go by, I think Kate will only need to worry about keeping her tiaras shiny and keeping that beautiful smile of hers going during all the dull events she’ll have to attend. Five years this December, so far, so good.
five dull and boring years together – five years of having a fake relationship – it hurts her just as much as him – really sad
Yes, Yes. If William really loved Kate he would have proposed long ago. Just like his father married Diana straight away because they were madly in love. Oops. Bad example. Wait, wait. Prince Edward proposed to Sophie almost immediately…. No that’s not right either. They didn’t marry for a few years after they met. Wrong again. Of course Harry and Chelsy, Zara & Mike Tindall are already engaged so… Hang on. Neither of these couples are married yet. Guess they don’t have real love. Must be awful for these people being in such loveless, unhappy relationships.
That’s all William ever did regarding Jecca, a CH statement that they are and were “just friends” and saying how embarrassing the claims of a pretend engagement were for him.
“St James’s Palace stepped in on Sunday after several newspapers reported the prince had become close to 21-year-old Jessica Craig.
“St James’s Palace denies that there is or ever has been any romantic liaison between Prince William and Jessica Craig,” a spokeswoman said.
The Palace acknowledged William was a friend of Miss Craig and her family, but that was as far as the relationship went.”
from the BBC
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/gloucestershire/2991886.stm
And so much for the barracks story, the Sun may know better but Lisa Agar’s version sound s a little different
”FOR a start William did not invite me back to Bovvy,” says Lisa Agar, 19, the girl who danced with in a Bournemouth club.
“It was one of his friends called Rufus, a lieutenant,” she tells Hello!.
…
“He never asked me anything of the sort. I did go back with one of his Army pals called Rufus for a couple of drinks and then I went home, but that had nothing to do with William.”
http://www.anorak.co.uk/news/tabloids/172306.html
I agree completely they shouldn’t rush into espcially because they aren’t in love which is obvious through his actions. My point was that if they were in love then they would marry -
Look at PP and Autum – they were in love and it was obvious -
Harry and Chelsy that is age – way too young and they know it – plus his cheating won’t make for a very loving marriage
If you were that in love with someone wouldn’t you want to marry them or maybe you just want to date them forever and then dump them for the girl that really turns your crank -
Case in point Zara dated a jockey for many years even lived with him – they didn’t marry – she moved on and whose to say she will marry mike? might not be that in love with them -
I think if you are in love you know about a year into if if you are going to marry or not waiting five years does not improve the odds on marrying at all – but if after 5 years the guy you are dating hasn’t asked you to marry him how much longer do you wait – I certainly wouldn’t wait any longer only if i was a serious golddigger out for social status would i hang on to a relationship that bordered on abusive
alsgal,
Yes. The Windsors don’t have a good record in that department. But it isn’t only royalty. Like you said you’ve had problems with your Al. And look how many politicians get caught with a wondering eye- Bill Clinton, John Edwards etc. It is probably easier for men who are powerful or rich to be tempted. They have more opportunities to stray.
doesn’t make it right! and they aren’t even married yet and she is going to say that is ok, makes you wonder, if she is willing to stay what is she getting out of it – he cheats – she feels cheated on but wait – all that money and prestige means more to her than anything so that is why she will stick by a cheater?
are you defending the actions of these disgusting and vile men? unbeleivable – setting the women’s movement back 30 years or more!
Off handed example but Scott Baio was complaining to Henry Winkler about how fame ruined him and made him into a cheat and among other things with women – but Henry said – I have been married to the same women and had the same fame -
in the end it is personality and the personality of the vile and disgusting men you have mentioned is sadistic and wrong – and i have a feeling william and harry are cheaters too
Here’s all I’m saying is, you can’t keep an eye on these boys every minute, and here I was only going to visit my aunt over in Edmonton for the night, but she had an IBS flareup, so I come home early, and where the heck was Al? Glazing more than a donut, shameless bastard.
Logic tells me Kate must trust William, and William must trust Kate, so to my mind, that’s all that should matter. Does she wonder about the times she can’t get a hold of him, when he’s out of town or when he’s out doing this or that — sure, what woman wouldn’t? But they’ve obviously made some sort of commitment, or neither of them would be together still after all this time.
Like you say Nikki about the politicians — there was Bill Clinton lying to the world, acting like he loved his wife (and maybe he does) but it didn’t mean he was faithful.
Look at that hypocrite John Edwards, gushing on and on about his wonderful Elizabeth, and meanwhile he’s with that hussy? Please.
IMO words don’t count, it’s the actions that count.
“glazing” sorry but that is the most hilarious thing I have read all day!!!!!!!!!!
Words are cheap as Edwards has proved – into a new lie ! and a baby to boot !
I doubt highly that kate trusts william – i think she has convinced herself that he has no choice which is just wrong
alsgal,
So true. A little off topic but if I were Elizabeth Edwards I would take little Johnny for everything he’s got. The house, the clothes, the cars, the shoes, everything. Not for cheating but cheating while YOUR WIFE HAS CANCER!! Ok, rant over. IMO royals like William have a tough time finding the right person. Sure he doesn’t have to choose from the British aristocracy like his dad but it’s still tough. He has to like the woman, have strong feelings for her, and have things in common with her but there are other considerations too. Can she survive the pressures of royal life & being in the spotlight? Is she trustworthy and loyal to him? It is hard but not impossible for him to find a good partner. Look at the Queen and Prince Philip, the Earl & Countess of Wessex, or even Charles and Camilla.
Good afternoon all…Has anyone heard where William and Kate are or what they are up to since returning to the UK?
Nikki, I agree completely — except maybe about Elizabeth Edwards taking her husbands shoes, that I’m not so sure about.
Lisa, I’ve looked around, and Googled
Kate Middleton
Kate Middleton London
Kate Middleton Balmoral
Kate Middleton Mystique
Kate Middelton Mustique (thank you spellcheck)
Kate Middleton William
Kate Middleton Party Pieces
Kate Middleton Dental Veneers
Kate Middleton Big Yacht Prince Good Time
and I’m coming up dry. No news is good news they say, so maybe they are doing the Highland jig as we speak.
Good detective work,alsgal! I was hoping for some good word this week but with the olympics going on and the family in Scotland,I have a feeling we will be waiting until early in the new year for that announcement. The only consolation is that with William pretty much remaining local, we should get some decent sighting to enjoy.
Thanks Lisa, and yes, we just might get some PW Tartan Tushy BIG TIME!
btw I did not know this but they’re no longer called dental veneers but “Lumineers” and Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus even has them. I guess she’s no longer “just being Miley” but rather turning into another laminated Hollywood starlet. Very sad, but I guess the alternative is for people to call her Snaggletooth, which wasn’t very nice IMO.
I’m on my third set of teeth, if you follow my drift, so those Lumineers are no longer an option, but I can see that Kate Middleton or other high profile types might go for some.
annoucement? At least two years away if at all -
he is just getting going now in royal duties a whole other reason to put the engagement on hold – if there is a wedding ( and if there is there is sure to be a divorce) it will be after 2010 – when he feels he must get married
lisa,
Try Kenya !
My bets on kenya too
alsgal, I recall the People magazine article saying they would be catching up with friends and that seems likely so my eyes and ears will be peeled.Otherwise I am determined to rid myself of all the silly rumors and foolish internet dribble. I find it better to deal with the facts and what I can see with my own eyes!
Kenya? Where Jecca is? Is that really a good idea, I wonder? That futher proves to me that Kate must be a VERY confident young woman because I know I’d be none too happy spending the weekend with Al’s old GF before me, even after the Tim Horton’s incident.
What’s your sense Lisa, about the announcement? I’m starting to think after the ridiculously nasty articles in the Mail of late that there is nothing this year. I am feeling in my gut we are now looking at a February 2009 announcement. Any thoughts?
Also, just something fun to pass the time (or in my case, wind) during this slow news season, but does anyone have any thoughts on the ring? I almost think Kate will steer away from the coloured stones (ala Diana and Fergie) and will go for a simple diamond instead.
If not this fall a Jan or Feb announcement sounds more likely. But again I’m not worried about that, I’m just looking forward to the events for Charles’s birthday. This is a big year for him and he has come such a long way. I know William & Harry have something special planned for him.
alsgal,
Well, I don’t expect any announcement until after the birthday celebrations for the Prince of Wales in November. And William doesn’t officially leave the military until January 2009. So February 2009 sounds about right. As for friendships with previous girlfriends/boyfriends it is something I’ve never understood about the RF. Charles even invited a few of his old flames to both his weddings & Princess Anne is still good chums with Andrew Parker Bowles. Maybe it’s an aristocrat thing? Catherine doesn’t wear much jewelry so it’s hard to know her preferences but William should go for a big rock! Perhaps one of the Queen Mum’s fabulous diamonds. Camilla’s beautiful engagement ring was from her collection.
Well, I am also thinking a jan announcement and a spring wedding. As fr the ring, I expect more quality then quantity as I can’t quite see Kate wearing something as large ans Diana’s sapphire otr Camilla’s diamond. I think it will be amethyst or a diamond.
I see that timeline as well, even perhaps as late as end of February for a July wedding, if they aren’t too superstitious.
Any thoughts on where she’ll stay officially before the wedding — learning at the Queen’s knee at BP perhaps or with Charles and Camilla at Clarence House (aka Chuckn’Cam Palace) ?
My guess would be Clarence House unless William has moved to St James’s Palace by then. Kate shouldn’t be anywhere near Buckingham Palace alone, not with some of those awful courtiers lurking around. They treated Diana and Fergie very poorly.
I think Kate’s ring will be bigger than Autumn and smaller than Camilla’s. Her ring has to suit her title as eventually being Princess of Wales and the consort of a future King. Diana’s ring IMO suited her fingers which appeared to be long and made the stone not look as big as it was. Whereas if it were on someone like the Queen who smaller in stature w/smaller hands it would look gaudy. Diamonds are a girls best friend, but I hope William/Kate will pick a colored stone, like an emerald in a Victorian setting with lots of engraving. Something if not a antique, but has the look of one. Can you imagine all the options? Only the best. If Kate gets along well with the Queen I think she would be offered more of a selection, but I don’t think her stone will be larger than Camilla’s, Charles will make sure of that. Camilla will be Queen one day so it is fitting that hers would be larger. I love jewelry.
This American has a couple of silly questions…what the heck is a courtier and who gives a fig what they think?
Lisa, I would say “low key palace insiders” or “non important insiders”. But they know that they are messing with the future King’s woman so they won’t get that out of hand. Although I’m sure Kate has received some lessons already, next year will be something else. We will see the royal couple as William & Catherine and that will be very exciting. But the truth is William has Diana’s ring not Harry and I don’t think he will give that to her but give to her. I think that ring will go into the Royal Collection. God knows what ring she will get. If it is Diana’s ring then so be it.
Rman,thanks for the explanation…I don’t see Kate as the sort of woman who will allow such people to push her around,talk ill of her or get away with stirring up trouble. I once heard a report that said that Kate was not into having all these flunkie types hanging around. I wonder how true that is. I know if it was me it would the case. Less compnay is better. especially for newlyweds
Heartily agree.
I can see William giving Kate his mum’s sapphire engagement ring, probably also her wedding ring, but I see Kate being sensitive and tasteful enough not to wear those out in public. I think many would find it disturbing, too much of a sad reminder that Diana never got to meet Kate. Of course, Kate Doubters might say she was being presumptuous.
No, I see Kate having those tucked away somewhere for safekeeping, next to the next royal baby’s teeth, and maybe even a lock of the next heirs hair.
Gracie, I’m with you about the emeralds, and I love jewellery, even if my wallet doesn’t. I never miss the Diamonique hour on QVC.
FJAE – I can’t believe the depths of nastiness and sour grapes in your comments. **EDIT** – I don’t know where you came from, but you really should go to another site to spread your jealousy and venom. Your posts are BORING, BORING, BORING!!!
Moved on from other sites after so many pm warnings, blue, red edits.
Another opinion and you want it to go away? Really now, that is censorship…I have a right to prove my opinion.
Alright everyone, let it go. If you don’t like fjae’s comments Jade, ignore them but she does have the right to express her opinion even if you do not agree with it.
I would not want Kate to wear Diana’s engagement ring, mainly because it is a symbol of a very sad marriage. I doubt that William would want her to either. I expect that he will get her a new ring for a new era of the RF.
No problem with me
, although obnoxious wording is and has been proved to receive warnings, edits.
Rman, I always thought that Diana’s ring would go to William because he is the first heir or I thought that it might go back to the Queen because it was jewelry she recieved while being HRH. But engagement rings might fall into different catagory. I don’t think William will give Diana ring to Kate and maybe since theirs was not a good marriage the ring might represent that. I see it being held off for William’s first male heir. IMO. Maybe some of the karma would have worn off by then, if you believe in that kind of stuff. I have stated before that RF are supertitious and even though I would love to see an emerald engagement ring, it won’t happen. RF does not give emeralds for engagement rings it has to do with some princess, can’t remember her name though.
so you better be careful than me or you will be edited!
B I agree with you about the ring – for william’s future bride who may or may not be Kate – it won’t be anything to do with Diana – they might reserve giving that for the first born girl
Never have been
HI! ALL.
PEOPLE, I THINK THAT OF ALL TIME THAT SPEAK THAT KATE AND WILLIAM BE IN MUSTIQUE NOT GOT TRUE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS HOLLIDAY IS TRUE IS TRUE BECAUSE FROM PHOTOS AND FROM OTHERS HOLIDAY IN MUSTIQUE NOT PUBLIC PHOTOS BY THIS I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS TO 1º HOLLIDAYS OF KATE AND WILLIAM IN MUSTIQUE.
fjae – you remind me alot of Merrick and/ or Jenny……..hmmmmmmm
Regardless of whether William or Harry have the ring, if I were Chelsy or Kate I wouldn’t want it. It’s a gorgeous ring of course but it’s the symbol for a very unhappy marriage – hardly what I would want my fiancee to give me for our engagement. Surely some other royal heir loom can be found or a new ring designed especialy for the occasion.
Trixie, I agree.
means that you could still be me! so WATCH out!
Anyone else think they bloated kate’s face this picture to fill her out a bit? looks weird to be
Don’t think so, my writting is incomparable to your style.
Just check out your last sentence wording, undesirable – ‘bloated’
Just a question fjae, but seriously, what is this weird fascination you have for Kate’s face?
You’re always mentioning ‘big face’ or ‘bloated face’ or something really strange like that.
Regular people don’t care about the size of a person’s face, no offense but that’s sort of a strange thing to be intrigued with.
The reason I’m asking the question is because other than yourself, I haven’t ever come into any sort of contact with anyone (that includes in person or on the internet) who notices or even remotely cares about the size of a person’s face before.
No harm is meant by my question, I just wondered if noticing the size of a person’s face was some sort of unique hobby, or if it’s just something personal you have a habit of noticing.
Mapleleaf,
I noticed that weird picture on the magazine too. Kate has chubby cheeks but it does look like they’ve toyed around with her face in that shot. It doesn’t look natural at all.
And I’m in total agreement about not using Diana’s ring. Just bad karma. That’s why they shouldn’t choose St Paul’s Cathedral for the wedding venue either.
Nikki&Mapleleaf, if you look at the original photo on Highgrove, that’s how she looked. Although I think Kate is beautiful, I think this photo is just not a good angle of her. Some photos of Kate she can look amazing and then I have seen others where she can look puffy. I never liked that particular photo because her eye is turning in. Of all the photos they could have chose from Boodles they pick that one! Her skin looks great though.
mapleleaf – you seem to be bringing conversations from other sites into here that weren’t even mentioned nor apply to my comment, amny many people have mentioned in other sites that in fact kate’s face is problematic – but that wasn’t my point – my point was that the magazine people seemed to have changed how she actually looks – to the point that she looks as wide faced as mandy moore. Try and get a new hobby mapleleaf – one that doens’t involve you studying mercilessly posters notes to the point that you are so obsessed you would go from site to site looking to cause trouble by intimating that something was said that wasn’t – thanks nikki for showing mapleleaf that in fact they have toyed with her face in the picture. I see a BLOATED face (that is for you you me!) (I find your style is bland and boring by the way me !)
Mapleleaf as like many other posters, post here and in other royal forums.
The thing with you is the way you structure and the wording of your comments, that make them sound obnoxious, while you bully other posters. Sad.
I didn’t say Mapleleaf didn’t post to other sites.
Nor that other members didn’t either. Struture your posts better so one can understand you.
whose bullying who? seems to me you have been chasing me a for a fight for two days now and i won’t give in – what is truely sad is that you can’t even bring yourself to comment on royalty in one of your statements – it is just mud slinging on your part at me as in moi not you
and the twisting
hello B -
Can I ask you to intervene with ‘me’ she seems hell bent on a fight and hasn’t posted about royalty in any of her posts – she is just mud slinging at me –
thanks in advance
fjae
fjae – I asked you about the big or ‘bloated face’ words because I’ve noticed that you seem to be very interesting in discussing the size of a person’s face, and I was curious to understand why.
I do agree that Kate’s face in the magazine cover photo looks very full, I think it’s both because of the angle the pic was taken from, and because Kate has a full sort of face. I’ve noticed that she looks really beautiful depending on which angle a photo is shot from.
As I said in my previous comment, I meant no offense to you. I’m just expressing that I feel like the word bloated is an unpleasant word and there are more pleasant or attractive words to use. The word ‘bloated’ doesn’t have a positive connotation IMO.
But I genuinely wanted to know where your fascination with the size of Kate’s face and other people’s faces comes from. I do admit I mentioned something that wasn’t relevant to Kate’s magazine cover photo.
I’ve read your comments in other places, and you made many such comments about facial size, and I had never encountered that before.
Noticing the size of people’s faces seems such an unusual thing to focus on that I wanted to understand the underlying reasons for it.
I wasn’t trying to offend you, just appease my curiosity.
It’s hard to have any opinion on this site .If you are not drooling over Kate you are a Kate basher .I have tried to post here for weeks doubt this one will get through either ,but keep fighting on fjae,if you like come over to the royal truth ,we allow all opinions there.
** BRW – Jenny, you’ve summed up your intentions – “keep fighting on fjae…”. If you’ve come here to argue or to flame then this is the wrong site for you. Seriously, don’t get all upset over it – just move on – your life will be a little bit happier. **
Wrong Fjae, I’ve been here much longer than what you may imagine, and have posted about royalty, be sure more than 2 days before you arrived.
And I’m not picking a fight, its your offensive words that are bothersome and worrysome, for a starters, and yes I have seen you in action until an admin/moderator has just no other way then to take you down or make you move on, because no one else, name it likers or dislikers of Miss Middleton feel like fun posting until you know what, happens.
It doesn’t, as I stated above, “no problem”, but that’s me, when other posters have the bother or worry, that’s when I think, oh no, not again. I really thought you would change at least a bit since the last time I read one of your posts many months ago, in another forum, but no. Same kind of bothered/worrysome wording.
FJae, Kate’s face appear much more fuller on the magazine and they made her face very shinny. But no matter what they do to it, she still looks beautiful with that award winning smile.
I find her smile – weird – she doesn’t have a top lip.
Me this is the last time I will respond to you, i don’t know what makes you so sad and pathetic that you need to try to ‘take people down’ that don’t fit your point of view – but i suggest for the health of others you get that checked out.
Mapleleaf – as i stated in my last response you are seemingly the one with the facination – a facination with what I write even if it isn’t here – you follow what i write and commit it to memory to ensure that you can bring it up again in a place where it has not been brought up.
Her face looked bloated to me, and others have agreed, so move on
I have never put people “down” if they have a different point of view. And every single person who has posted here now so.
And there you go again with offensive words.
I think the picture was of a younger kate and her face was fuller then. No matter she is still gorgeous. Me, You have always been fair in your comments since I have been posting here.
Maddie, the picture was taken at the Boodles Boxing Ball 08. It’s is new photo w/in last 2months. But yes, she still is beautiful. I wish we would get some news or sightings.
Hello,
So fjae is throwing her weight about, but she reminds me so much of another ignorant twerp we had on here a month or so ago.
I think I’m on to something that the code is f=g,j=r,a=u,e=b and with y at he end is a fairly good description.
All agree.
There are other reminders too. It sounds very like the sad, lonely , unhappy and with such a sorry taste in men. It’s no wonder they move on and who can blame them.
Check back on the vocabulary; isn’t so sad that someone obviously so ald a crone has learned so little over the years but she seems able to repeat what she has said many times before. How sad.
Do you remember the other one ?
gracie,
Maybe they’re due back from Mustique this week not last week. Perhaps that’s why we haven’t had any new pics or news.
I didn’t realize it was a more recent pic. I should have read the previous posts. She tends to look different in some pictures, maybe the angle. She is still very photogenic. I can’t wait to hear some new news and see some new pics too
I think what many don’t realise is just how remarkable a beauty Kate is — to have features THAT straight, teeth THAT perfect, hair THAT glossy is really extraordinary!
After finally receiving my Class B licence in the post yesterday, I saw the photo of moi — first one taken in years. Hell-oh! The word cyclops comes to mind, as I never realised just how close my right eye is to my nose, or that my left nostril is permanently flared. And you think Kate doesn’t have a top lip — try finding mine under my moustache (yes, I think I will go see Maxine at the day spa next week after all!)
And to think I was sashaying all over town looking like this, just a Big Beautiful Girl showing off her assets like nobody’s business. As Prince Philip would say: Egads!
it seems,catherine middleton is all over the magazines everywhere beginning febuary. til now about PW he would not see other woman.
question? about chelsy and harry? are they engaged? it seems that catherine middleton is learning from a typical royal lessons.
You are so right alsgal. She is beautiful (I am sure even more in person) I would kill for hair like hers. Unfortunately, I have to fight the humidity and flat iron mine for about an hour, but it still never looks that shiny .
