Kate has become a key executive at the firm in Bucklebury, Berks, where she’s in charge of website design and getting new business.

My hunch is we won’t see Kate at the BP party, but we will hear about William and Kate very much in love and together at the Highgrove party. I wonder if she will wear Issa?

It would be delightful to hear that her parents had been invited as well, as that would seem the perfect opportunity to introduce the Middleton’s to Charles and Camilla’s oldest friends.

Keeping those fingers crossed …
