Ked, If what you say is true, and that William has been in London for a couple of weeks, them I am wondering has he had second thoughts about the SAR training? He has come in for some criticism of late, therefore perhaps he’s had a rethink.

I always had the impression that the SAR was an excuse to escape his royal duties and NOT his relationship with Kate.

Alsgal, you make an excellent point about the fact the foreign press have broken royal stories before, the most famous is the relationship between the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

Frankly, I don’t know what to think here. The French stories had a lot of errors in it, then again that doesn’t mean the engagement could be wrong.

As for Kate being in London. She has complained to the PCC, therefore she has every right to be treated as a private person unless she is in the company of William.

I can’t help but feel if there was an engagement coming, then W & K’s lunch date would be in every British tab going as a pre-cursor to that special event. I accept they’re may have deal with the British tabs to keep things quiet for now if there is to be an engagement. It would be in they’re intrest to, afterall an engagement announcement would do wonders for their dwindling circulation figues. But I don’t see why they should keep quiet about the lunch date.

Q is at Cheltenham tomorrow, it will be intresting to see if Kate is there also. I somehow get the feeling that would be a sign that finally the wedding is to come.

Ked, you mentioned the taxi bods between Kings Road & Embankment. Bubbles lives in the Kings Road, and isn’t Harry now a qualified motorcyclist?

I’m sure at this point she wouldn’t be too fussed with what she wears as long as she gets down that aisle. BUT I’m pretty sure whoever the designer is that would design her gown would also work over time to get it ready…. If they have not being doing so already for many months….

Yes, even Alsgal is willing to admit it may be that hope is blinding her, but without hope, is life really worth living?

For Alsgal, that answer is no.

Alsgal can remember at 18 declaring she would be the first one-armed drummer in space, and yet, it wasn’t to be. That honour went to Smitty Hamilton of AC/DC, which was the name of his band in the Washington, DC area until the Australians stole the name and Smitty lost not one, but two appendages in a horrible cow crash.

Alas, I digress.
Ked, Kate has shown she can go to hell and back with very little official support from anyone, so Alsgal is pretty sure a few years on base as a military wife won’t bother her a bit — especially as she has a very supportive family to keep her company. I feel certain Handsome James will be very, very popular with the soldiers who are also into hamster fashion.

Kate will take on a few charities, and will be busy enough decorating Harewood and lunching with Pippa that I doubt she’ll even miss William.

BRW I’m looking forward that good news.

Alsgal I would love that ice cold drink.

I’m still remaining calm about it but praying at the same time. Ked I’m sure they are looking back at Andrew & Sarah’s marriage and learned a few things from it. Also I’m sure The Duke of York will offer some good advice to his nephew.
