It really does seem like he had a nice night out and maybe Kate went along with him to Africa. It also seemed like a plan. Kate don’t want to be seen in many clubs anymore so he went and they might have met up afterwards so they could go to Africa. She is really trying to get her image on track and trying to prove to the media that she is a hard worker and she will do whatever it takes to stay by his side.
October 16th, 2008 23:40
After all the snubbing that was going on at that club I think it’s safe to say that William nor Harry have eyes for another woman. They are very lucky so why would they mess that up? That’s not them.
October 17th, 2008 01:31
Rman,
It’s back to 14th April 2007 and look who’s involved again.
Pelly. The guy who advised PW he should ‘play around’ more with more than a little stake in encouraging the results.
Pelly is managing this and other clubs and obviously has a vested interest in a Royal presence.
However it may be slightly more than this and if PW wanted to send a message out to the world and the unfortunate KM this is it.
He didn’t this time reportedly shout “I’m free” but the message is there.
Break up;reputation suffers; make up;reputation slightly restored;break up again and when publc realise exactly how callous this affair has been then perhaps they know what they’re left with.
No matter 5/6 years away all will be forgiven. Don’t tell me this was not the plan.
Last time KM reacted slightly wild ,and received the attention this time , well it may be fade away time with no formal acknowledgment just the last photograph of her breaking a law.
Happy days?
October 17th, 2008 02:23
I don’t think anything is for certain yet. Last night doesn’t tell me anything but that William had a fun night out with friends and Kate was probably home working.
I guess WIlliam is not allowed to go out alone at all anymore then. And he most certainly needs to keep a distance of about 4 feet from any other female but his girlfriend…
What message does it send to talk to a married popstar with a child and to sit next to Paris Hilton? Neither picture shows anything but polite conversation.And we all know that if anything more than that had happened even a peck on the cheek, it would have been all over the papers. Not even the Mirror says that anything else but them talking happened…
But it’s always those double standards with men and women. Kate can go out and talk to as many men as she wishes but God beware William gets anywhere near someone of the opposite sex even if it is a popstar and a “celebrity”…. It is undoubtedly safe to say that William will not start an affair or relationship with either Christina Aguilera or Paris Hilton.
I think if they had broken up we would probably have had a “friend” tell us as much already.
Interestingly enough however none of the papers draws this conclusion though they have been speculating about a possible break up in the last weeks.
October 17th, 2008 02:47
Hello,
Isn’t it unusual for PW to be photographed in a club. Think back and over the past year very few have surfaced.
Suddenly he’s out there almost posing and you don’t think it’s meant to pass on a message?
Who or what he’s with wasn’t important in the photographs although the puzzle is the blond who left shortly before PW did. This may have been a little too obvious.
It’s really odd and it’s hard not to think that this was deliberate set up to give a clear but vague message ? To whom ? It’s not clear yet but it is quite possible that similar messages may go out before January.
Watch for activity of Pelly, he’s been identified in the past as the ‘tester’ and ‘obtainer’ and has been out of the picture for several months but now seems to be back in frame.
October 17th, 2008 03:07
But William only hurts himself if he is out and about “flirting” (for the record I do not think he actually did because I do not consider talking = flirting) with other women while officially still dating Kate. Surely he would have other means to get the message across. He doesn’t need the papers to tell Kate anything, he can simply call or text her. And if he wants the public to know then, IMO, that’s not the proper way to be out and about BEFORE breaking up with Kate. Why would he make himself look like a cheat and a cad? Last time his “friends” leaked the break up surely they could do the same now.
It is true that we never got pics of the Princes in clubs before, but usually Paris Hilton and her PR crew aren’t there either. William doesn’t look into the camera in either picture, so he doesn’t seem to be posing to me.
October 17th, 2008 03:28
Hello,
It was said many months ago that the ‘next time’
would not be an announcement of any kind. Just a gradual fade away with occassional sightings and it looks as if that may be starting now.
I think that the involvement of Pelly is a significant pointer. For the past 10 months he has been largely out of the picture as PW and KM appeared as a couple.
He was very much involved in the last break up and it seems that he is once more in the picture as PW uses him as the foil.
October 17th, 2008 03:37
trixie,you are very correct about William”posing”. he is not posing, his head is down,a good indication of his state of intoxication.
As for the silly Pelly angle…doesn’t he promote or have some stake in both clubs the royals frequent? I am sure he is often around and highly doubt he leads William around by the nose as is being suggested. Again no one knows why they really broke up before or who or what was involved except William and Kate their close friends and family. All else is gossip and whispering down the lane.
October 17th, 2008 06:49
“It was said many months ago that the ‘next time’
would not be an announcement of any kind. Just a gradual fade away with occassional sightings and it looks as if that may be starting now.”
It was said by who??????????????
October 17th, 2008 07:20
MGR, I believe that was Ked that said that.
October 17th, 2008 07:21
MGR, I have just woke and made a fool of myself!
October 17th, 2008 07:30
Personally, I hate to give the DM any credit what so ever, but I feel that the Kenga story they printed was an example of how the “apple does not fall far from the tree.” As I have said before, perhaps I read to much into things.
October 17th, 2008 07:32
What does William have to do with Kenga? *confused*
October 17th, 2008 07:44
Ked, if this is how William operates, it is something a teenager does to pay back his girlfriend he is mad at cause she broke up with him. I would hope that IF they have ended it, he would not feel the need to provoke Kate in the manner you have stated. What has Kate done to William that would make him want to rub her nose in it? If he thinks that getting his photo in the paper w/Paris is good for his reputation than I got a river to sell him. I think it would be more effective if he picked someone more aristo to get back at Kate. IF all this might be true Ked, he will not come out smelling like a rose!
October 17th, 2008 07:51
I feel sorry for William, really inmature if this was the “purpose” of the “breakup” theory. It might really just be nothing but a farewell party, Kate couldn’t make it. I’m still sticking to wait and see Charles Birthday.
October 17th, 2008 08:02
I don’t think there’s anything in the articles that indicates that William WANTED to get his picture taken with Paris. She arrived after him so when he went to WM he didn’t know she would be there. All articles say she approached him and had he at first ignored her (the DM leaves it at that) and the Daily Star claims he later chatted with her and they exchanged numbers.
October 17th, 2008 08:06
I saw an interview of Paris Hilton not too long ago where she said Benji Madden was her soul mate and she was talking about having kids and how she has grown up. I don’t think there is nothing to these two talking. I do think Kate would be mad.
October 17th, 2008 08:39
I would not put alot of stock in what Paris says. I am sure she has met alot of soulmates in her time.
October 17th, 2008 08:41
So what does GP have to do with KM and PW relationship?
October 17th, 2008 08:42
Guys, Pelly was just seen with Kate at the roller disco not that long ago so no I don’t believe Pelly is helping William “move on.” William & Kate is fine but she just couldn’t make it or she probably want to stay away from the club scene and probably went with William to Africa or will go down there later. I think it’s amazing that everytime William is not with Kate, then it must mean that they have broken up. He just chatted nicely with those stars but that’s it. They all know that William is taken, I know they wouldn’t want Kate to come in their to remind them. They media didn’t apply anything funny which was good for a change.
October 17th, 2008 08:51
William will not do any foolish thing as dating a woman who has a porn video in youtube, hometube, whatever tube.
Rman true.
October 17th, 2008 08:51
Listen all people, so common if Wills spend the night with superstar in the VIP room, maybe wills one fans of them ( christina & Paris ), or maybe all people astonished see Wills without his lover and just hang out with other ladies he..he..or maybe the superstar want to meet wills i guess, who’s knows about that, right?
October 17th, 2008 10:04
What’s odd is where were PW other friends, like TvS? If it was a going away party I would think all his friends would be there as well. I suppose they could have been, but the only write up was about Pelly being there w/no mention of any other of his friends.
October 17th, 2008 10:32
I was wondering about the friends, too, but maybe the papers just left them out to make the whole scenario appear more juicy. After all “William having fun with friends” doesn’t sound half as interesting as “William getting dirrty with Christina and Paris”.
And a “farwell party” sound overly dramatic, IMO. I mean how long does that bike treck last – a week? Hardly reason to have a huge farwell party. They just wanted a night out having fun and got it. They don’t need an “excuse” to party.
October 17th, 2008 10:35
I don’t think he would ever date anyone one like Paris either Me.
October 17th, 2008 10:42
Trixie, what’s funny is that Christina husband was there w/her, so I don’t see her making alot of moves on William in front of him. She just had a baby too. Paris on the other hand will love to get her “10mins worth” out of the princes. I have not seen the Pippa w/Chelsy story in the article anymore. I guess they took it out?
October 17th, 2008 10:42
Kate can’t win or lose it seems.
She goes to clubs, she is seen as waity katie who doesn’t work and drops everyting to be with PW , she stays away it means they must be broken up.
Give her a break I say.
Another thought is maybe they knew Paris & Christina would be there, and didn’t want to run the chance that the tabs would have a field day with headlines about Kate drinking the night away with the two of them. (I am from america, and while I hold nothing against chistina and paris, neither have a stellar rep.)
October 17th, 2008 10:51
gracie, I don’t think anybody doubts that Paris Hilton almost desperately tried to get in contact with William and Harry that night – all articles say as much.
The open question is how much she suceeded. We have seen a picture of her sitting next to William, who is turned away. So whether they really talked or exchanged numbersas the Daily Star claims or whether William ignoered her and only briefly talked to her, like the DM says, is left to the question which paper one believes. The Daily Star or the Daily Mail.
Sara, you are right. Had Kate been out with William last night many would have started calling her names again and call into question her work ethic. So she did not go and that’s not right either because now many speculate about a break up. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t…
October 17th, 2008 11:02
That’s right Trixie & Sara. You know I honestly think William will set the record straight once and for all soon.
October 17th, 2008 12:35
Boy, I have read some blogs out there and some of them want to have a big celebration if those two have split. William & Kate is going to shock us with a great announcement, I just know it’s coming. I feel it in my bones.
October 17th, 2008 12:50
I do not quite get either how it would have helped Kate’s battered reputation had she joined William et al. last night. I think it is wise for her to stay out of the limelight especially since the papers have a nasty habit to turn everything she does into something negative right now. And then I DO believe that she works hard at party pieces and hencewould not have had the time or energy to drive 2 hours to London and back for a fun night out when she had to work the next day.
I sometimes go on “after work” parties but those start around 8 pm and end at midnight. William stayed in the club till 3am so I doubt she would have been able to handle that after a hard days work behind her and another one in front of her…
And I do not think that being a brat and not talking to either Christina or Paris at all would have been a good option for William either. He talked to Joss Stone at the Concert for Diana and no big deal was made out of it. I honestly do not see this encounter as of a different quality. Since when is it good to snub people especially since he had no reason to believe pictures of him would end up in the papers since he was never pictured at such clubs in London before?
October 17th, 2008 12:52
I don’t know Rman I’m feeling very nervous. It’s just really odd that she wasn’t at Whisky Mist. Something is not right with that. I know if my boyfriend was going away for any period of time then I would want to make sure I said goodbye and definitely attended any parties he was having regardless of whether I would have drive back two hours the next day. She works for her parents that is one of the perks. Having a “flexible” job, it never stopped her before so why all of a sudden should it do so now??
I do also find it odd that the press haven’t jumped on the they have split bandwagon. I thought this would have provided an opportunity for them to go crazy but they have been notably silent and apart from a few Kate was absent comments nothing…. Very strange…
October 17th, 2008 13:02
They (tabs) don’t want to make the same mistake of “on the rocks”, split but returned, PC said, etc.
They are probably waiting for a “serious” whisperer within the circle of W&K to say something “reliable”.
October 17th, 2008 14:05
Although I just know they are fine. If he did let her go, why would he put her through all of that? He raised her status by including her in his family events and let her go to his cousins weddings. He made it clear that this woman is very special to me and I’m with her and she is with me. He did all of that just to go and dump her all over again? Sorry but that girl has a heart and it’s very bad form on his part if he treated her like that. I’m a pretty smart guy to know, you don’t mess with a modern womans heart because that could get you hurt. You just don’t play with peoples heart like that. That’s why I find it hard to believe that relationship is over. They both invested their heartfelt time and energy into that relationship. Kate has suffered the most from it. The press completely bashed her family and made them look like social climbers and she could do much about that. They called her lazy and dubbed her “Waity Katie” She has gone through the fire for him and have never embarrassed him nor talked to the press. She has done nothing but support him and showed her love for him no matter what. They spent so much time together this year and not that long ago, they appeared very happy at a friends wedding. So you will have to excuse me, if I am sounding a bit angry but I just don’t believe William would do that to her. I honestly think he just had a good time out and there’s no telling if he saw Kate earlier that day and understood that she don’t want the ugly attention of her going to a club. People are assuming that something was wrong because she didn’t show up. I truly believe they are still on and going on stronger than ever. That’s all we have seen this year a very strong and in love couple.
October 17th, 2008 14:09
But it’s not entirely his fault…any girlfriend of his is going to have a “status.” He is a prince, remember? And also very, very rich. The British royal family tends to have a higher status than other royal families, not entirely sure why.
October 17th, 2008 14:12
someone named marc schneider sent me an email labled british royal wedding it was an advert are you selling my email address???????
** BRW – Hi Jenny, I can assure you, and all other visitors to this website, that BritishRoyalWedding.com has never passed personal information (names, email address) to a third party. I have no knowledge of Marc Schneider, or any companies/products he may be promoting. Steven. **
October 17th, 2008 14:28
I’m not saying it’s all his fault but you just don’t play with people hearts like that. If he was going to dump her again, then he hsould have never included her into his family events. The royal family is not our everyday family and we don’t have important family events like The Royals. Not just any girlfriend can go to those kind of things. The relationship has to reach a certain level in order for that to happen. I’m telling you, if Kate was my daughter and her boyfriend made her go though all of that and just decided to dump her in the end. I would make my daughter call him up and tell him “My father is looking for you.” lol.
Anyway Apryl, I just don’t believe he would do that. He just went on vacation with her family and you seen the photos, they all had the time of their lives. William & Kate don’t fool me, they are in love. They are pulled together by fate. Even though they divorced, Charles & Diana was pulled together by fate.
October 17th, 2008 14:28
Rman– after reading your post I take it you want PW to marry KM not for love but because she stuck around?!? That is not fair to either of them.
October 17th, 2008 14:33
No, you can tell they are in love so that’s why I’m saying that. I’m a heavy believer in love joydrop. I would never say get married because she stuck around. I’m saying she did all of that out of love for him. I truly believe he go back together with her because he loves her. That’s what I’m saying.
October 17th, 2008 14:35
Being royalty is far more difficult than what normal people have to deal with-they have to deal with all sorts of things, including politics. Everything they do has to be taken under consideration, including who they love.
October 17th, 2008 14:44
I wonder if the reason that none of the rags have jumped on the ‘breakup” story is because they know something is coming and it’s not a breakup.Just a thought
October 17th, 2008 14:45
True Apryl, that’s why we just have to wait and see what will happen next. Alsgal and Ked what do you think? Even though we can’t assume much until we see what W&K have up their sleeve.
October 17th, 2008 14:48
Maybe lisa. Something is going on and they aren’t saying anything right now.
October 17th, 2008 14:52
Well, as long as we are playing the ‘if” game. “IF” Kate has a ring, she would not be able to be seen with it in public until an official announcement.
October 17th, 2008 14:54
I think the papers just bide their time. They safe the big story (whichever way) for their weekend editions. It took them awhile to write the break up stories after the RAF news was announced so it’ll take them a bit to put together their “comments” and “articles”.
October 17th, 2008 14:59
William and Harry are in South Africa:

October 17th, 2008 15:04
Nice find,Trixie. I wonder if Kate and Chelsy are there as well?
October 17th, 2008 15:09
Yes good find Trixie. Hopefully they are down there or will go later.
October 17th, 2008 15:19
Awesome links Trixie!!!
I think most likely Chelsy will go. Not sure about Kate though….
October 17th, 2008 15:32
Oh really, why not Kate jj?
October 17th, 2008 15:34
I don’t think any of the 2 girls will go. Have you read the “detailed” treck that they will “supposedly” do from start to finish line ?!
October 17th, 2008 15:35
This will look bad if they go, both girls should be studying/working ! Instead of interrupting a 10-12 day charity the brothers are into.
October 17th, 2008 15:50
Maybe the girls will show up at the end of the ride and do a little safari vacation w/the princes
October 17th, 2008 15:55
Another reason to make the tabs gossip and bash them, hope the girls do not do such foolishness.
October 17th, 2008 16:00
Maybe Kd, I don’t it would look bad if they went to cheer them on. But they are doing a good by laying low. I don’t think we will see Kate until the celebrations. It’s not that far away but what will the tabs write before that is what scares me.
October 17th, 2008 16:34
Nothing to be affraid about Rman, the pics of PW is not a I’M FREE. Detail the inside club pics, he looks to serious, not even a laugh.
Time will tell if they where made to be together. I think it will be so.
October 17th, 2008 16:46
Thanks for those comfort words Me. He did look serious.
October 17th, 2008 16:47
I don’t know Rman I just didn’t see Kate going… But yes there were thankfully Me no pictures of him jumping on any tables shouting he was free or touching any young girls as per the night club incident before & he wisely didn’t want too much to do with Paris Hilton. Christina Augilera has calmed down a lot and he actually approached her to say hello to her and her husband who was present.
October 17th, 2008 17:18
Well I just feel that everything is okay. JJ, it’s good that Kate is staying away from the party scene and taking charge of her image and getting more serious about things. People starting to see her in a different light and realizing that she is working hard. Which I have stressed for awhile that Kate need to be seen doing something serious and PP site pointed it out perfectly. It seem like they will do another newsletter for next month. It seems like we will only see more of her for events and her supporting charities. I just hope her appearence at Charles’s birthday part will put all this speculation in it’s place.
October 17th, 2008 17:22
I agree with the consensus, I don’t think Kate and Chelsy will go to South Africa to cheer their guys on.
Actually I REALLY wish they would, especially Kate, just to be able to say “neener neener neener” to the naysayers at other chat places that are once again claiming that Wills and Kate are broken up or about to break up.
But I’m a practical person when it’s all said and done, and I’m not sure either Kate OR Chelsy would be allowed to show up at this event if it’s considered to be an official charity event.
Now if the Enduro Africa event isn’t considered to be an official one, then possibly Kate and Chelsy would be allowed to cheer Wills and Harry on, but I think that’s the only way it would be allowed.
Kate has never been present at any official charity events or official events that didn’t involve William’s personal achievements in some manner. The Garter ceremony and the Wings ceremony were both personal for Wills, even though there was an official attendance by the Queen and the senior Royals at the Garter ceremony and an official attendance by Prince Charles at the Wings ceremony.
The Enduro Africa event isn’t a personal achievement for Wills, it’s a charity event that he and Harry are participating in for several different charities, one of which Harry is the official Patron and Sponsor.
So I wonder if that makes this event an official one, or if it’s considered to be like the parties for charity that Wills and Harry and Kate all attended together this year?
If it’s like the charity parties, then there’s a distinct possibility that Kate would be able to go and cheer Wills on.
But if it’s considered to be an official duty appearance in some way, like the football matches that Wills attends when he’s acting in his capacity as President of the FA, then I doubt if she would be allowed to attend.
Not to mention hilariously funny to read some of the reactions if Kate did turn up.
October 17th, 2008 17:27
Mapleleaf
It would be pretty hilarious!!! & I would love for her to go!! I’m just nervous but Rman is keeping my hope alive!!!! Thanks goodness for you guys I drive my parents crazy constantly asking for news in the British Newspapers!
October 17th, 2008 17:49
Yeah, I just love this site. JJ we must keep hope alive, it’s what Barack Obama has been preaching about for along time. Without hope, you have nothing.
October 17th, 2008 18:09
I have followed this romance with much interest for a long time. I’m getting very worried. Things just don’t seem right. I want to believe everything is OK, but I just don’t know. It seems odd that she wasn’t at the “going away”.
My first post & I’m glad to be joing all of you.
October 17th, 2008 18:40
Welcome n02va15, I truly believe William has spent some time with Kate before going off to Africa. She is just staying away from the club scene for awhile. He may have went to her house to see her before leaving we can’t rule that out because we have no idea what he has been doing after working with the MOD. So yeah she may have wished him off earlier. I think Kate got very upset at the tabs calling her lazy and all she do is party so now she’s going MIA on the club scene. Which I don’t blame her, and I think William was part of that plan. The tabs is saying William on that night only had eyes for a married woman, lol. Kate has nothing really to worry about. Since they got back together, he has become more reserved and Kate seem to have him in check, she is tough you know.
October 17th, 2008 19:37
For all we know Kate may have had a part in planning the charity thing and flew to Africa early…:)
October 17th, 2008 21:16
William sitting in a nightclub chatting with Paris Hilton, in full view of paparazzi and no one here except ked, believes this doesn’t mean anything. It’s time to take off the rose colored glasses folks.
The last time William was at a club photographed with women, a year or so ago there was a break up.
Kate was not at the party or club the night everyone went out before the Princes embarked on their journey. How odd.
October 17th, 2008 21:21
Where is Alsgal?
October 17th, 2008 21:33
We all know that Kate hasn’t been out to a club in awhile and it seems like she is trying to stay away from it and focus on her work. We have said it before that things would have to change so the public can see what she’s about and so far they are recognizing that she is serious and tierd of paps and nasty attacks on her. If you have been reading the other blogs you will know that it has taken them along time to realize that she is working and her being MIA is proving that. So I do believe that she saw him off before hand and just trying to stay away from the club scene.
October 17th, 2008 22:05
thankyou steven if you would like me to forward the email to you so you can look at who is using your sites name just send me an email address to send it to thankyou again.To othe rs becareful in opening email saing brw it could be this marc guy,and i am not sure weither it is a scam ,or not

October 17th, 2008 22:42
Nice to have you back merrick.
October 18th, 2008 00:45
merrick, I think the poor quality of the pic shows that it was not taken by paprazzi but by a phone camera from another clubber.
He doesn’t look at her, doesn’t sit comfortably and just looks rather akward like he just wanted to be left alone and is about to get up and out of there. 
Here’s a more wide range pic of William and Paris which clearly shows that he seems to be listening to the blond sitting on his right and does not pay any attention to Paris. He doesn’t look like he is flirting though – or he is a very poor flirt.
But I think the pics very strikingly shows how many women surround him whenever he shows up anywhere alone…yet he resists temptation very well from what we hear. So much for the theory that he’s with Kate because no other woman is interested. Yeah, right…

mapleleaf, I agree that Kate and Chelsy would not go to SA probably or if then maybe next weekend for a short trip. I, too, am desperate for a new pic of them together just to be able to say “I told you so!” to everyone else…

Hello,
There is a salutary warning to loving a Prince and crossing the RF.
Check out the Mail on Line and scroll down.
It’s frightening and so very sad.
October 18th, 2008 00:58
Trixie,
With a smile on his face ?
Read my link above and understand what happens when relationship aren’t approved.
There are no saints ‘up there’ Trixie, believe it.
It’s called ‘duty’ and it’s paramount.
October 18th, 2008 01:02
Do your refer to the Koo Stark article? I think it doesn’t shed a bad light at Andrew at all. It says:
“Palace worthies were aghast at the revelation, and the liaison was summarily abridged. But since then, she and Prince Andrew have remained friends and, on his own instigation, he became her daughter’s godfather. He discharges his duties with kindness and diligence, always remembering birthdays and Christmases.”
…
If at all the article makes the press look vile and ruthless:
“Your reputation is as much a part of you as anything. So when that’s damaged, it leaves you disabled. I would walk into a room not knowing anyone, and so would go up to someone and say, ‘How do you do?’, and they would view me with a complete set of preconceived ideas that were tainted by what they’d heard or read.”
“‘I didn’t realise it had affected me until years later. At the time, my daily life was spent trying to avoid the Press. I just thought, ‘If one wants it to go away, the best thing is to ignore it. Rise above it. Don’t explain or complain.’ After seven years of silence, the Press would not go away, and I sued for libel and won.’”
While Kate may feel similarly about the press, I do not see Koo blaming Andrew or the RF for the way the papers treated her. Unless Kate partcipated in a soft porn we know nothing about I do not see the similarities…

PS: I dont see him smile in that pic but it’s hard to tell becaus eit’s rather grainy.
October 18th, 2008 01:29
Lol, oh God no they are not the same. We are all waiting for a picture of the beloved couple. It’s so worth pulling for them.

BRW,
Steven, Sky news has just shown start of PW and PH ‘ ralley. They are to be accompanied by a crack team of Armed Meropolital Police riders and a Medic. Theye are expected to ride for the 8 days but Sky comment that they had not had too much taining for the event and it would be very difficult.
There was so sightings of either C or K but they did did show female riders who would be competing with the Princes.

I have to agree with jj on here. I have a feeling about Wills and Kate and it isn’t positive. Kate has never before missed out on clubbing with Wills. Yes she may be working but I doubt it unless she’s that dedicate she wouldn’t be working till the early hours of the morning. Everyone else was at the club including Chelsy. Kate loves being apart of the gang so why would she suddenly miss it? It looked like a farewell do as Wills and Harry were going to Africa. Kate wouldn’t miss a farewell for her long term love even if they had a rift. Kate never misses parties with William even if she is working.
I know some of you like the positive option and like to believe that all is well with the two of them, and they may have a shocking announcement somewhere. But be prepared cos if Wills and Kate were about to announce an engagement she would not have missed this party. I get the feeling something isn’t right right with those two.

October 18th, 2008 03:06
sorry people for double post. Computer error.
October 18th, 2008 03:23
Thank you for the link, ked. I hope they update the video soon – I’d love to see them “in action”… Will the whole trip be accompanied by a TV crew – Ewan McGregor style?
Fixx, I understand you unease but it is not unprecedented at all that William is out without Kate. Granted most of the time they are out together but before Kate didn’t work in Berkshire either and was not attacked on a daily basis by the press for her supposedly iddle life style.
October 18th, 2008 03:27
I agree that it was unusual for Kate not to go clubbing with them as it was totally out of character. However, I think she justs wants to keep a low profile after the driving with a mobile incident. That got her a lot of bad press and now she may just want to be careful and not fuel it even more.
I do think that the relationship is not 100% perfect at the moment, but I don’t think that they have split just yet. They may split in the future but for now I think they are still together.
I don’t think either girl will meet them there. The only reason that they would go is for a holiday afterwards and we all know that many people feel that as soon as William or Harry do a charity event or some hard work they go straight on holiday. The holiday afterwards often counteracts the good press that they received for doing the charity event.
October 18th, 2008 03:31
She has not been “attacked” for her idle behaviour for a while now, she has a job now whilst before she did not.
Nobody would attack a girl for wanting to say good bye to her boyfriend. Although I think it is a bit strange that they had to have a big party to say goodbye, it isn’t as if they are going away for ages.
Kate managed to get to London for the rollar disco and back again to Berkshire. It is not difficult to travel to London, spend the night in a hotel (she would at CH probably), and travel back early the next morning. I’ve done it a lot myself.
October 18th, 2008 03:43
The Sky video is up. William and Harry look very exited and happy to be there… I heard for the first time that the ralley doesn’t only include biking but also work for charity projects along the way. That’s definitely great to hear. I hope it inspires William to take on a more prominent role in charity in the future.
What’s that black stain on their cheek?
October 18th, 2008 04:01
Amanda Patell’s article is up, and while is it a slam on the boys, it does not mention a word about Kate or her absence. If there was even a whiff of trouble between William and Kate,these papers would be all over it.

is kate and PW still on? or they’ve broke up already? when will jeca craig marry his fiance? is PW invited there in kenya?
October 18th, 2008 04:32
I would have though PW would go to Jecca’s wedding. Kate is also a friend of Jecca’s so maybe she’ll go too.
I’m still uneasy about Wills and Kate. I hope they’ll prove me wrong.
October 18th, 2008 09:14
They would be all over it and it proves that nothing is wrong with the relationship. Everybody gets that Kate just want to lay low and she may have wished him good bye before hand that day. He seem to respect the decision that she don’t want to be seen in clubs right now. Her laying low and work ing a good thing. She has silenced her critics on dubbing her lazy. GO KATE!!!!!
October 18th, 2008 09:58
Let’s wait and see what tomorrows Sunday papers have to say. If they do not say anything on the topic of a possible break up at all, I guess it’s safe to assume that there is nothing going on behind the scenes …
October 18th, 2008 10:19
Trixie: why tomorrows papers? I doubt that there would be anything except info about PW and PH in Africa. I think we have to wait for next week i.e. when the Princes come back for any more news.
Rman: I can’t see how Kate not attending a club could stop the criticism as nobody knows what she was doing instead. She probably was not working because PW and that group dont usually go clubbing until 8:00 onwards. If she ended work at 6:00 (which despite what was said in the article is really not that late when your family owns the company, in fact it is a normal time for most people to leave work)…anyway, if she left at 6:00 she could have still got to London in time as 8:00 is really the earliest and Chelsy didn’t get there until later, so she could have easily managed it.
Nobody really knows how much work Kate is actually doing anyway, she might be working a lot, she might not be doing much.
People who wish to criticize Kate will always find a reason and her work ethic is still technically questionable. It is just our belief and faith in what we read that makes believe she is working a lot, we have no proof after all.
October 18th, 2008 10:39
It’s just because the Sunday papers usually have the royal columns that may deal with rumours about a possible break-up and the journos would have had some time to digg around for dirt…
October 18th, 2008 10:55
Trixie you know that’s all they want to do is bring up stuff that they just made up and some will think it’s true that the whole relationship is on the rocks. That’s how it works. B, I am saying that she probably said her goodbye to him earlier that day and just let him go out to the club. He has gone out without her several times before. I think the whole car phone thing just made her a little fed up with the paps so she said behind. We know she is working at PP so we don’t have to get into weather she is working hard or not. They aren’t making a big deal that she wasn’t there because it’s not a big deal. It really was a little night out not a big goodbye party. A lot of William & Harry friends wasn’t even there. There’s really no mention of them.
October 18th, 2008 11:16
Believe when I tell you, William & Kate will surprise us. Things may look funny but they got something up their sleeve. They are going to knock people dead at the party ot parties.
October 18th, 2008 11:17
Rman, we have got to keep the faith.
Looking at the nightclub pictures, I just don’t see lust on William’s face. I see a pleasant young man who is trying to be polite to the women around him. That’s all.
I think Kate is trying to avoid the bad press that comes from the party scene — even though I find the negative press reaction silly as they don’t go out clubbing that much in the first place — and probably said goodbye to PW privately.
I atttribute the press blackout of sorts to one of two things:
a) the media know from last time that appearances can be deceiving so maybe they think something is up (hopefully an engagement) but are holding back.
b) the press might think William has allowed these pictures to be leaked so that everyone will think he and Kate have broken up, in order to bring a surprise announcement or to enable Kate and William to conduct their relationship in peace.
Worst case scenario: even if Kate and PW had a little tiff over William’s career choice, it is not enough to drive a love of this magnitude apart. They are strong enough to survive the inevitable minor disagreement, and will come back stronger than ever. Of this I am sure.
October 18th, 2008 11:32
Hi Everybody…the Daily Mail has an article up about Princess Beatrice and it includes a bunch of photos that were found on one of her friends’ Facebook pages….the royals/chelsy need to get their Facebook friends under control!
October 18th, 2008 11:35
I never understood why anyone remotely of public interest would put very private (and often very embarrassing) pictures of him/herself online or allow friends to do so…
But aparently it is more important to appear “cool” among your friends than protect your privacy.
October 18th, 2008 11:42
I don’t know what’s going on! I would be happy if it works out, but right now I’m just not feeling good vibes. The press must have been told to back off for one reason or another, yet the DM is comparing her to Koo. Granted, I have mentioned that before, but I meant in terms of possibly RF wanting William to do SAR training to get him away from her, like they did w/Andrew. I am sure that the article is a subtle jab at Kate cause who want to be compared to a porn star? The DM has replaced Kate stories w/other royal instead. Very weird, though.
Hi, alsgal! You don’t post that much lately, but I guess there is only so much we can talk about at the present moment. I have seen the club photos and they look harmless to me. William was listening intently to Christina but her husband was right next to her. Paris, is Paris. I’m sure her PR are the ones behind the passing the phone number story and the other girl who was sitting on the other side of him was not to attractive and didn’t look his type.
October 18th, 2008 11:44
Trixie, they seem to be alittle careless with the pictures. Alsgal, boy it’s so good to have you back.
If I had very important friends like the royals, I would not put their pictures up on my website. I would want to keep my relationship with them private.
October 18th, 2008 11:59
I don’t think they was really comparing the two but just saying that she was the KM of her day because of her looks and her relationship with a Prince but that’s it. Koo did something in her past that really did move with the royals back in those days. Kate modeled in a fashion show while in college and the royal family is still welcoming her in the fold. So they are not the same in anyway. There’s more to come with Kate Middleton. The press tries to knock her down thinking she will crack but she always manage to get back up fighting like a wildcat. That’s what William needs by his side a wildcat like the Queen Mum. I think Harry got some like that on his hands too. It’s like Kate is being put through a series of test but she always past with flying colors. That needs to be recognized. The Vanity Fair artical even pointed that out. William realizes it and the royal family see it.
October 18th, 2008 12:03
Oh I agree with you Rman that she made her goodbyes earlier. I think that some people are reading too much into it. However I was just showing what other people think and why. I like to consider and understand both sides of the argument.
Trixie: Chelsy, Bea, James and Pippa have all been careless with their photos. However most of the time I don’t think it’s their fault. It is natural that they would want to show photos to their friends and it’s natural that their friends would want to take photos of them all having fun. It is the friends of the friends who are actually publishing them, meaning the friends of Chelsy, Bea, James and Pippa have to be more careful about putting it on facebook etc.
October 18th, 2008 13:28
B, to be honest I am probably too old to understand the facebook phenomenon. If I was in Beatrices position I would not have an account and would ask all my friends not to put pictures of me online. There are other ways to privately share pictures via e-mail or yahoo groups – one doesn’t need to open a facebook account that can more or less easily be accessed by someone else. However I am also aware that among their generation one is socially virtually non-existant without facebook. They are young, they want to be hip and “in” and I guess without such an account they feel they can’t show off how much “fun” and how popular they are…
October 18th, 2008 15:00
On my facebook account I have edited the settings so that my pictures and profile etc. can only be seen by my friends.
However, in photos on facebook you can tag the people in the photos. So a friend of a friend of Bea/Chelsy/James/Pippa could see all photos where their friend is tagged. Therefore, they could see all the photos of the royals/partners/partner’s family if there is one of their friends tagged on that photo.
There is a way to ensure that only your friends can see photos where you are tagged but I’m not sure what happens if there is someone else in the photo and whether or not people can see the photo then. I presume not but that would explain a lot of the problems if they could.
If anyone who knows facebook really well, maybe they could explain.
It is a shame that they must act in a different way and not have fun like other people their age do, but that’s the problem of being royal I suppose.
October 18th, 2008 15:27
Kate has gone all quiet , so perhaps she’s simply waiting for the engagement to be announced…or
……They may have split and William is being a gentleman, letting her have her privacy and letting her decide how she wants to handle the release of the info out to the press?
I truly think we’ll know more soon.
October 18th, 2008 15:37
I think you are right merrick, we will know more soon. I’m taking alsgal advice by not worrying. she may be waiting for the engagement or the party that’s coming up. They’ve come so far, you know.
October 18th, 2008 21:27
Simply laying low until after Nov. 14th I believe …
Thanks Rman and Gracie.
