Prince William’s girlfriend Kate Middleton being ‘hounded like Diana – The Australian
Prince William’s girlfriend Kate Middleton is being hounded by the paparazzi in the same way his mother was in her final days, the coroner who investigated the death of the people’s princess says. And spokespeople for Prince William have publicly accused the paparazzi of “aggressively” pursuing the couple, and Middleton separately…
Prince Harry’s ex joins the officers in hot pursuit – Telegraph
Natalie Pinkham may have said that she regards “fame by association as so cringey” when the close friendship that she had enjoyed with Prince Harry was disclosed two years ago, but it does not appear to have hurt her professionally…
Artist mum of Prince William’s girl Kate paints the town red in Dublin – Herald.ie
We had an artist with some serious blue-blood connections painting the town red this week. Kate Middleton’s mum Carole jetted into Dublin yesterday to attend a glitzy lunch in Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud. Although her pretty daughter has been dating hunky Prince William for more than five years, Carole couldn’t have been more down to earth…

oh well, tha’s a risk for Catherine if all paparazi hounded her cause she’s a lover of Prince William of course. and i hope Catherine must to be use to it for now.
i think she’s destiny not like Diana at all, i’m sure

this article of “Prince William’s girlfriend Kate Middleton being ‘hounded like Diana” has no relevance as KM has not been spotted with PW or alone for a very long time. Most likely, she is not being followed by the pap any longer
November 20th, 2008 12:09
Tell that to the Lord Justice, his expertise or accumulated files are rubbish.
November 20th, 2008 13:14
Kate isn’t hounded. She knew what she would be getting herself into when she agreed to date Will. We haven’t had any paparazzi pictures in months. Wills case against the paparazzi occurred outside a nightclub; if he doesn’t want to be photographed don’t go to Boujis/Whiskey Mist etc. He knows very well paparazzi will be outside so in my eyes he has little room to complain. Chelsy needs to stop scowling outside nightclubs too, don’t go to VIP places if your averse to cameras!
However a privacy law will be a good thing regarding the paparazzi, it won’t stop the bad press. Yes the paparazzi won’t be literally shoving their cameras in their faces, but today most cameras have incredible zoom lenses; they’ll still get their shots but from further away. Even worse these paparazzi shots will occur when Will/Kate etc will think they are alone resulting in even juicier photographs to sell to the press.

I kind of disagree with you in william not going clubbing so that he wont be photographed. He is not going to be locked in his house for his entire life, right? He has the right to go out and have fun as any human being and jsut because he is exercising this right doesnt mean that he has to punished by pap invading his privacy even though he is royal.
November 20th, 2008 13:53
I’m not saying he shouldn’t go out and lock himself away in his palace. I was trying to say he should avoid all the VIP clubs where he knows the paparazzi will be if it bothers him so much. London has THOUSANDS of nightclubs to choose from where the paparazzi won’t be stalking him.
November 20th, 2008 13:55
Well not thousands of nightclubs in particular, thousands of drinking establishments. Whats wrong with the pub?
November 20th, 2008 13:59
He may frequent pubs regularly and we would never know exactly because we won’t get any pap pics. Will is out maybe once a months at most in ViP clubs run by one of his BFF’s – maybe he gets a discount.
So it’s not like he exposes himself to the paps too much.

Steve what will the news be tomorrow ? PW package or the non secret training.
I googled and there is more than 10 pages of sites with his picture. Madness.
November 20th, 2008 22:53
I have question about this so called picture. I will not look at it but there is a way to know if it is him or not(likely) men in Europe look a bit different if you get my drift…It could be photoshopped.
November 20th, 2008 22:57
Its him alright.
November 20th, 2008 23:01
Seriously? That is just wrong. I’m sorry. Does anybody wonder why he has issues with the media? All these comments on sites like IF. I would love to see one of them exposed for the world to discuss and joke about. As human beings we should be better then this.
November 20th, 2008 23:08
lisa sadly but true, well its too late, the web has been invaded with tons of sites (I’m not joking) with his picture zoomed in, zoomed out. XXX blogs with comments (porn comments) from many girls around the world.
Total madness !
November 20th, 2008 23:55
What is IF?
November 21st, 2008 07:58
What an idiot. Stop acting like a fool and start acting like your the future King. You’re 26, not 18. He needs to grow up soon and if he is still having media issues over his mother’s death 10 years ago, its time to see a shrink. I love the monarchy as much as anyone, but its getting harder and harder to hope for the day PW becomes King.
November 21st, 2008 08:13
What does having the need to go to the bathroom in the MIDDLE OF NO WHERE have to do with being an idiot, a fool, or need to grow up.
Please !
November 21st, 2008 09:05
As much as he hates to believe, he is a Royal Prince and as such should think about his actions before he does them. Taking a leak in the outdoors at a Polo event wtih possible cameras is a prime example.
Find a portopotty and go there…here comes the backlash from the public and newspapers
November 21st, 2008 09:40
There were photos of his dad’s “wiily” too, many years ago. He was in his hotel room. Was he an idiot for that?
November 21st, 2008 09:51
What’s up with the Puritanical aversion to nudity?
Everyone is born naked — what’s the big deal?
It’s not like PW was trying to be sexually provocative like SOME people — he was just doing something every single human being does every single day of their life, unless their kidneys are impared.
Cmon folks, it’s no biggie
(no pun intended.)
November 21st, 2008 10:09
Guys Could anyone give me the link of PW doing that?
November 21st, 2008 12:08
If you have seen the photos, some of you would realize that they were not taken at a polo match, but during the Enduro Africa trek. I would assume that port-o-johns are not widely available in the rural areas of Africa. So what else is he to do? I am sure where ever he went he thought it was private, but someone riding w/them probably thought it was funny to take the picture and post on internet. Personally, I think it makes him more endearing!
November 21st, 2008 12:29
It’s only a willy! Come on. It was like KM’s fall unfortunate. End of story. I wonder what the palace have made of it though…
November 21st, 2008 13:00
Hi All!
Two thoughts regarding Prince William’s unfortunate incident:
1) If it was true that William was angry/upset with Kate for the invasive pics of her lying on her back at the roller disco, I hope this incident gives him some perspective. He was participating in a somewhat public charity event ( at least there were people watching along the route) and had the best intentions for doing a great job. He could not have predicted this outcome, although it can be rightly argued that he should have taken more precaution.
2. I did look at the video (shane on me, I know) and it did not look amateurish. The quality of the image was good, even reduced to run on the Internet, and whoever held the camera, held it very steadily. The clip is also longer than what the average person’s cell-phone camera will take. I think this was a professional job, and not a spur-of-the-moment prank pulled by another rider.
***Ultimately, I hope that 20-30 years from now, PW and KM, finally a happily married old couple, can look back on this part of their lives and laugh at all the craziness and the rotten photos.
November 21st, 2008 13:17
Because of my overwhelming curiosity, (I know, I know, it killed the cat!
) I did see the photos and the video in question of William, and I can honestly say that Wills has absolutely nothing to be shy about or ashamed of.
To put it delicately (if that’s even possible) William is definitely a man who is in proper proportion to his height
Now I understand one of the reasons Kate has stuck by her boyfriend! 
November 21st, 2008 13:57
WHERE I CAN SEE THE PHOTOS?????? Please I cannot wait
November 21st, 2008 13:59
Stephanie
You make a good point. Both had good intentions both knew there were cameras around and both had unfortunate pictures taken at a charity event. Hopefully it will give the whole of the RF a new perspective of what can go wrong with the best of intentions. I looked at the pictures curiosity got the better of me also. I’m just glad that the incidents didn’t occur in reverse i.e it wasn’t Kate caught naked somewhere and William falling over as that would surely have been the end for KM if it had been.
November 21st, 2008 14:00
tiy2 I’m not sure they will be still up but there was a link to them on Perez Hilton last night. They may well have been pulled by today.

If they are not on perez I can’t remember the name of the website which they were on. It was a gay website with extreme adult content but I can’t remember the name.
Rman that’s an awesome article I love the last line by TPT.
I was just coincidentally reading an article about Angelina Jolie and how her transformation from the wicked home wrecking wife stealing woman to the humanitarian loving mother caring partner took place. Rman and Alsgal as well as others have been saying for a while that KM needs to get out there and do some puppy saving, feeding the hungry Florence nightingale type charity work and I agree I think that is exactly what she need to do. I wonder if that is the eventual plan…. I hope so.
November 21st, 2008 14:32

The pictures are still on Perez. You need to search under prince William and they will come up.
November 21st, 2008 14:42
JJ that’s right and I think that is in the works.
November 21st, 2008 14:59
He should just ignore the photos, never explain, never complain.
He’s definately King material.
November 21st, 2008 15:07
tiy2, jj is right: the links are still there on the Perez site. I don’t feel comfortable posting the actual links here, but I will post a link to the Perez site:

You’ll have to search for ‘Prince William’. I hope Wills is able to live this whole ‘invasion of privacy’ episode down without too much embarrassment.
I guess it’s fortunate that personally he has nothing to be ashamed of, but that doesn’t change the fact that his personal rights to privacy were invaded.
Even though I’m one of the people that looked at the pics, I have to admit that I feel a little embarrassed about it because I know I was doing something that was unfair to William.
I do believe that every human being is entitled to certain types of privacy, and I think it shows that whoever snapped the photos has a serious lack of human decency and no personal ethics at all.
November 21st, 2008 15:52
Hey seriously, I’ve even seen the inside of Katie Couric’s colon all in the name of cancer awareness month –
so maybe just look at this as a public service announcement from the BRF that William is
up to the job

I just thought I would mention, as has been discussed on this blog in the recent past, the negativity and great changes over with John at RA. He most recently commented that Carol Middleton was just as much in the dark as everyone else about K & W. I curiously asked why he doubted her knowledge – he deleted my comments!
November 21st, 2008 20:00
Well welcome to the club TeaTea.
November 21st, 2008 22:53
I feel so bad for him.
November 22nd, 2008 03:55
John is slowly killing his forum. Look how few posts there are each day now. Probably because he has banned quite a few postres and then deletes most of the others;
November 22nd, 2008 04:35
The good thing is, the less popular RA gets, the more people post here! The more, the merrier!
November 22nd, 2008 06:20
i thinked KM is doing li-low in the pipz. and she is not seen in the public right now. i wonder where she is right now?.
November 22nd, 2008 08:29
The decent half of me does not believe William would be a STUCKUP STIFF and a BORE about Kate falling down while skating, but…
If the rumors that he was upset with Kate for daring to fall down at a roller skating rink — in the name of charity mind you — then those pics of his package serve him right and I hope Kate lets him have it.
November 22nd, 2008 08:30
If the rumors ARE TRUE was omitted from previous post…
November 22nd, 2008 10:29
Perhaps John should simply have one of his employees write all of the posts — that way, they can reflect whichever pov he wishes to express?
Or perhaps he is doing that already?

Well it’s good to see Harry & Chelsy out and having fun. They look good. Guest I think is just a rumor that William was upset at Kate. People are coming up with all kinds of things because they haven’t been seen in awhile. William is away training so I don’t think we will see them out until he get’s back.
November 22nd, 2008 12:53
It would be nice to see KM and PW out, although I know he’s on a mission. Why the papers publish a secret mission is beyond me. So I would take it that he might not be where they say he is. I still don’t understand why no photos of KM. Perhaps she is in a different country?
November 22nd, 2008 13:18
I have a feeling that Kate is very much doing something behind the scenes. Other than working at PP. Because everything seems fine so I think she is just busy. But we should see them soon.
November 22nd, 2008 13:25
I wonder if ked has gone to see Strictly come dancing again (live), because I am 99.9% sure that I have just seen Zara and Mike together in the audience. Either that or there are two people who look very similar, I’ll confirm for sure later.
