Prince William and Kate Middleton to Marry this Summer?

Point De Vue magazine coverPrince William will marry his on-off girlfriend Kate Middleton this summer with an official announcement expected ‘imminently’, France’s leading society magazine reports today.

Point de Vue, which has impeccable contacts within royal families across the world, boasts about its front page scoop, saying ‘nobody knows it in the British media.’

Society journalist Antoine Michelland writes: ‘A communiqué is in preparation announcing the marriage between William and Miss Katherine Middleton and it will be published this month.’

Mr Michelland said the announcement was meant to have been made earlier in the year but was postponed.

Point de Vue, an upmarket weekly founded in 1945, specialises in royal stories. Colombe Pringle, editor-in-chief, said she stuck by her star reporter’s William and Kate story ‘100 per cent’.

The magazine points out that the young couple did not go skiing at Christmas, as planned, but instead went to Scotland. On their return, William, 26, proposed around the time of Kate’s 27th birthday celebrations in January.

Mr Michelland is known to have well-placed contacts in other royal families, many of whom will be invited to the wedding and have been told to keep their diaries clear.

Rumours of an engagement have also been fuelled by intense activity in recent weeks on the Harewood Estate near Ross-on-Wye, a property acquired by Prince Charles’s Duchy of Cornwall in 2000 which, it is believed, has been earmarked as a possible home for William and his bride.

    Not buying it. I don’t care what their contacts are, a FRENCH newspaper is not going to break this story. Even if the British papers are embargoed with the news that goes out the window if someone else is going to run with the story.

    We just have to wait for the official announcement and it’s getting late for one this year.

    Drudge didn’t break it. He picked it up from Aussie mag New Idea and it had been reported in a German mag a while before that.

    Yes but what you are all forgetting is that the English publications were in on it. They had already brokered a deal with them. I don’t know if they didn’t broker a deal with the foreign press or why the Australian/German publications broke the embargo but the British publications already knew. This could also forsure be the case with the engagement story although I don’t want to get ahead of myself and get too excited…. Been through this far too many times…

    I agree: The reason the story was broken in the foreign press was that the British media had made a deal to keep quiet. However, if that were true in this case, would the DM have a story on it?

    I am not buying it either. If there were a deal with the British press, why would the DM report about it? Sorry, Rman, alsgal, I am afraid you – in fact, we all – will have to wait a few more months.

    I would be happy for the couple though.

    I understand why secrecy was necessary regarding Harry’s military service in Afghanistan — to protect his life and the lives of others — but why would an engagement be kept secret? That doesn’t seem to make sense. Especially since, as the story points out, people need to be notified well in advance so they can save the date.

    As much as I’d like to believe this one, there have been too many engagement rumors, so I’ll just wait and see.

  • Chris 234

    The secrecy does not make sense. In particular when they have been together for 6 or 7 years? And somehow everybody is expecting them to get married at some point?
    There have been too many rumors – I will only believe in the engagement if I have it officially from BP or CH.

    Alsgal is too verklempt, such a sweet boy. It is good that he has said this, it needed to be said for his mother’s honour and for his own. Alsgal is too moved to speak OR post, and she might even need to put on her Sarah McLachlan cd … just to let it all out.:(

    I think the hint in the article was that the article discussed the speculation about William and Kate announcing their engagement and then referencing the day mothers day is observed in the UK. March 22nd. Maybe William chose that day so he would have something happy to recall on that day.

    you are right lisa…maybe march 22 is the day of the announcement to brighten his emptiness about mother’s day.

    HOWEVER… I wouldnt!!!

    I would not want to be engaged on mother’s day… because although I know I need to be happy on that day… but on the other side… I am sad and thinking about my mummy.

    Might as well dedicate the March 22 to be for mummy

    …and other day for Katie.

    hi everybody,

    On another site, SG pretend to have a call with BP and they deny a wedding, and invite her to call POW’ office if she wanted further information. So … I did the same (from paris). And they just say, “as you can understand, we dont comment private lifes of member of the royal family” (nearly what was told me) and when I asked to contact POW’office, I have the answer “both princes have their personal office you can reach at st james palace, but they won’t comment in the same way we did” (i just dont remember the exact word, because I wanted to take a pen and I forgot when I heard the voice on the phone it was too late and I panic. I am pretty sure that on the other site the person pretend to have an answer and that it’s not true. I don’ like when somebody think I am an idiot or naïve that why I did the same myself !!!

    I really envy the way you run these facts, figures and prints at will. Unfortunately I neither have skill,opportunity or patience to implement such information and rely exclusively on a gradually failing memory which is said to deteriorate once that quarter century has passed.

    Lisa ,

    Not at all. This is different. This is not a planned outing with his pals or even his brother. This is a single guy making a late decision to go out for a drink.

    We think KM is at present based in London but PW has decided that he will not spend his free night with her but makes for a club and not the big M.

    I think this may well be taken as a statement from PW that as it stands he is a single guy with a good friendship with a long term friend.

    They’ll meet up as friends do but if there’s no planned outing I’m going for a drink. There’s no involvement with anyone else as far as we know ,but is very significant which may well be understood by many single guys with long term friendsships who are fighting shy of the altar.

    Watch this new stage carefully I think further signals will start to appear andis very much in line with what I have feared for 5/6 months.

    Hi again,

    If you look at the “properties” of the photo whith photoshop you’ll see that they were taken on friday morning (4 am) before the last engagement of PW on friday. So of course it’s seems to be normal to kate not to be here. William had 2 engagments on thursday (one with the new charity for whom he is patron, and the diner with centrepoint). The night to Kitts was just after the diner late at night. Of course Kate was not in london, to do what? just stay alone when he performs his two duties and dine with centrepoint at st james palace, and she’ll stay alone during this time? What a nonsense. We just must be more simple and not analyse everything before all going nuts.

    Yes Rman, and Kate works on thursday so we really can say they met on friday for the week-end just after the last engagement of william. Maybe william leaves london on friday afternoon to go to highgrove and kate leaves the berckshire to go to highgrove (so no appearance at cheltenham) and spend the week-end cosy with william. I think this scenario is the most realable (pardon for the mistakes). And for Ked, what does it mean 5 or 6 means since maybe they part? Have you ever heard of friends around you who spent new year with a former g/b friend alone in scotland with the parents of one of them? very strange, and have you ever heard that this same g/b friend spend the night at the parents’ house on the birthday of one of them? very strange too. And when one of them in the army is free he go to the restaurant not with many of friends but just with one friend and after they go to the cinema (two public outings). If those two have parted and just want to behave for the rest of the world to learn it but in a very quiet way, why two public outings (they can’t know in advance if they will be photographed or not). so nonsense… again.

    Hello,

    There is a strange feeling to the recent photograpths both last weekend and this latest of PW. Where is the scrum of photographers in both cases it seems there is but one.

    Even their publication on the net is strange and they are included with the photographs of PW’s two or three official outings.

    It is almost as if PW and his minders are making a surreptitious statement here . AS I have said watch carefully for similar repeats.

    This time I don’t think we’ll see KM repeating her last endeavours , I have a feeling that she may now be accepting that PW is hopefuly for the future. She will now concentrate on not inflaming situation , show how strong she is and then wait the years away for PW to decide one way or another. hHere is a definite change of atmosphere in this matter.

    Ked, if I use the same logic that you and your people (you said “we”, so I assume you meant something other than the Royal “We”. ;) ) are using, then the fact that Wills and Kate went to lunch together last Saturday means they’ve already pledged their undying commitment to each other.

    Ked I really have to say that sometimes, considering the differing opinions you post, it’s as if more than one person is posting comments under your name. One minute you have one theory or idea, and the next minute you’re saying something different.

    Now you’re saying that you think William is single just because he exited a club by himself?

    That assumption makes no sense. Just yesterday you were saying something completely different, and now you’re saying “something WE had suspected”. So who is “we” exactly? And why would “we” automatically assume that Wills’ leaving a club by himself means he’s a single guy?

    Ked,
    I have one question, why would William and Kate go out to lunch and the movies knowing that they could be photographed if their future is years away? All the pictures show there are two people trying to avoid press. I cannot imagine what Kate’s life will be like if the magazine article is not true. It would be hard for her to even go anywhere in public without everyone either asking or wondering about the engagement. I can see one also wanting a low profile to enhance ones reputations. However, that does not make for much of a life for Kate. I can’t image that the person who had such a deep feelings for his mother would be so careless with her feelings. I do believe that they are together and will soon get engaged.

  • Rman
    March 14th, 2009 10:47

    I highly doubt that William & Kate are off again. We just saw them at lunch with each other. They remain a couple to this day and somehow when I think about that french artical, I do get the feeling that something good happened while they was on vacation. Because ever since then, they have been acting funny. William is doing more duties and want to be seen serious about it. He also look very happy these days, I mean the guy is just showing all of his teeth. It’s like they are trying to keep something a secret until they are ready to let us all know. I look forward to seeing what will happen after Charles & Camilla gets back. They are really enjoying their trip.

    Kat that’s the problem, William has lots of respect for women and he wouldn’t do Kate wrong. This is what some are not understanding. I always say this but he wouldn’t have spent his time building her profile last year, just to rip her down this year. As you can tell and it’s even in the video that Kate has gone though a lot by being his girlfriend. The press has made fun of her and her family. Made up crazy stories about her and the whole time, she has said nothing. He would have spared her all of that if he didn’t see a future with her. She is now 27 and I highly doubt he will keep her hanging for a couple of years. She’s going to do great as his wife, she has proved that to everyone.

    The other day,you stated that you (or “we”) thought Kate was based in london for 5 weeks but not sure where. What lead you to that conclusion? Was it because she was not seen at Bucklebury? I fail to believe you are getting all your information from cab drivers because if Kate was out and about enough for cab drivers to know,then the paps would too. What gives?

    Rman, Thank you very, very much for that video. I throughly enjoyed it. If you, Mapleleaf, Lisa and Me got together and released your own video on how to surf the net, I swear you guys would all clean up.

    Please allow me to explain myself, I for one have never ever doubted W & K’s relationship. My issues are with William and his reluctance to take on full RDuties. I view him as a reluctant royal. It is these reservations I have.

    With regards to a possible announcement this year, unfortunately that video hasn’t changed anything for me, as clearly it was made some time ago. Furthermore, 2009 was the year many in the press were tipping. It may still happen. I would love it so, but I just don’t believe it will. Sorry if that disapoints you all.

    Ked, I don’t know if you realise this, but your posts are implying that W & K have split up. I for one don’t believe that.

    As for the pic of him coming out of a club by himself, I don’t know when it was taken, but if it was taken sometime after the lunch date with Kate, then for me it is a confirmation they have not split up, simply by the clothes his wearing.

    His clothes look as if they are the same rags he wore to the lunch date with K. It strikes me, if you were single, male or female, when going to a club you would make a little more effort about your appearance. Instead I view the pic as a its been a hard day, I know my friends are at such and such a place and I need to wind down. So W has grabbed the nearest clothes to hand and met up with his mates for a few bevvies.

    I still maintain St.J’s have done a good job this week, they have silenced all the ‘His Laziness’ articles.

    why do we need to know who Ked is? I dont know any of you from Adam but that doesnt bother me and I have no intention of asking anyone here to tell me what you do. That’s private.

    Hello!

    Mapleleaf, I think Ked is so different in his opinions because he’s a Gemini (for aught I know and if I’m correct). I adore his deep thoughts.

    Kate is very nice, elegant and clever young woman. Prince William is a perfect model of the UK’s future king (in my opinion). As for their relationship as a couple I think it’s something what they both are able to discuss and decide what to do – to commit or to live their own lives. Here I agree with Rman – we’d better wait and see.

    P.S. I always enjoy every comment on this site. Thank you everyone.

    Because ked implies that he/she/they has/have an inside track on what’s going on, that’s why. You can take it or leave it.

    Theres a article on Prince Harry and his painted pink finger nails on the Perez Hilton site. It’s rather cute…his nails match his boxers!

    Britt,
    Is that really Harry? The face looks so different, older, harder. Pink finger nails…hmmm. Perhaps he was involved in a prank of some kind.

    Hello,

    Hale, It’s not that I think that thy have split as such. I try to apply a set of parameters to their implied behaviour and actions and measure up.

    Look, many of you guys have more experience that I on couples, couple therapy and relationships. As I see it, if a couple are ready to get married and then the rest then they want to be together. That means , a couple will make every effort to get together at every opportunity especially just before getting married.

    KM may make that effort but PW does not. He is a busy guy and has lots of calls on his time but when he has time to himself, or time to relax it does not always seem as if he makes for KM.

    I think that stage in their relationship or former relationship took place whilst they were at Aberdeen and occasionally a few times since.

    However PW doesn’t seem able to make up his mind and I think he has purposely been ofhand (for want of a better word) with KM many times.

    I think he is now demonstrating that , yes he cares for KM but is not sure and so become offhand and doesn’t make the effort to be with her in his spare moments.

    This may not be a good explanation but I hope you can see what I am getting at.

    By the way’ firsttime’ doesn’t know I’m Gemini because she is mind reading . I happened to comment in a post months ago that my birthday was within a few days of PW . Therefore I think ‘firstime’ is non de plume for someone who previously posted on here under another name.

    I’ll give three guesses.

    Ked,
    IMO our observations and interpretations are rooted in personal experience and personal knowledge and that is why I enjoy reading the posts here.

    The fact that we are all unique individuals with a wide range of unique experiences comes through in our posts. I like that!

    Keep on posting whatever you believe is going on between KM and PW or any other royal, everyone here does that.

    Again, what we post here is a reflection of personal, experience and perception. You said that in you last post. So when people demand that you can only view the PW or KM relationship from their perspective they are misguided.

    I have made similar observations about couples right before they get married they do seem to want to spend tons of time together. However, I really can’t know how much time KM and PW spend together because they are so secretive.

    I do get your point. : )

    Hi Ked. I understand your point but you have to remember William & Kate have a private life out of the media’s spotlight. What they do on their private time is not something we know about. They have been together for seven years and I believe they spends lots of time together. Just because we don’t see them as often as we like does not mean they don’t spend lots of quality time together. It’s important for all of us to know that. Kate knows that she’s not dating the average Joe but a future king, I think she has accepted that.

    Kat,
    That DM article is written by Katie Nichols, she has been wrong many times before.

    I do think it is time for the annual Klosters ski trip and Kate has gone with PW every year.

    I think Katie Nichols is making up all the romantic features to sett the stage for engagement speculation.

    Hello! Ked, it must be the first time when you are wrong. 1) I have never commented on this site before. 2) Are you sure I am a woman, girl, granny – “she”? 3) About that astrothing… Don’t be so reactive, please, and excuse me if my phrase “for aught I know” made anyone think that I know you personally. But I must confess your comment #86 makes sense. Except one little moment, if (and I repeat if) PW is not sure she’s the one this fact doesn’t mean he is selfish egoist or unable to make up his mind. Sometimes we have to remember about our duty and responsibilities. Unfortunately, far not everything is going to happen in the name of love. And that’s one point. The second is there are another circumstances we have no clue of that delayed expected announcement. And both W and K know how to behave right now.

    If the story is true, then it would be nice for them to go on a trip together. The economy needs the money. But I never know if KN is telling the truth, I guess we just have to see what happens with that too.

    First Time,
    Your last sentenced reminded me of how Ked likes to dance around issues. Please do not take offense but it sounds like you know something about the situation between Kate and William. The statement right now they know how to behave sounds like something is happening behind the scenes. They are aware of it.(Probably it is about them) They have either been instructed or know naturally how to react to it in public. This means- stay low. So either the French article is closer to the truth than anyone knows, or it was just a fishing expedition or they know notjing. Either way, could you please explain what is going on with them. I am pulling for them preferably to my liking together.

    The big problem is some seem to always think William & Kate is going through big problems. I highly doubt they spend lots of their time going through a depression because of their relationship. Let the bloggers tell it, William is running away from her and Kate is hanging on to him as if her life will totally end without him. I’m sure they have their little ups & downs like all relationships do but after seven years together, I think they have a open dialogue with one other and they always get through the tough times, we have seen that. Love is such a funny thing and it will get you through a lot. They have shown us that they are in this together and I don’t think some people get that. The way some paint this relationship can get very ridiculous at times.

    Gone most of the day and looks like Ked has created some responses! I believe Ked is just one male and he always posts in the same type of “read between the lines” writing style.

    I am more concerned w/the photo of PH w/pink nail polish and matching boxers. Is this guy really PH? If so looks like same type of tricks guys do at stag parties.

    Ked, it is very evident that you are inexperienced in relationship issues. Too bad you didn’t take some classes in human psychology in college. If I remember correctly, PW has stated in the past that there are ways to keep things private. I think he is doing just that.
    I hope everyone on this site would take all the media stories with a grain of salt and let PW and Kate run their lives. It isn’t good for your blood pressure to get all worked up over nothing.

    Grandma,
    I took human development 101 and would strongly suggest real life experience if one wants to learn about relationship issues. There is nothing like the real thing or hands on experience, if you will.

    I agree with you about KM and PW keeping their relationship very, very private. Smart, IMO.

    Also interesting in Katie Nicholl’s article about Klosters that there was no mention at all about an engagement. Ked I just think that apart from KM, PW and their tight circle of friends no one really knows how much time they really spend together or the status of their relationship. People can speculate until kingdom come but no one really knows… They are as far as we know right now still together how people want to perceive their relationship so let them be…

    Well I expected them to go to Klosters. They do every year. I don’t think that just because there is a recession that people who have the money should not spend it,even the royals. Of course this article is coming from kaie-I can’t get it right-Nicholl so who knows if it is factual. They may be going to Klosters and she filled in the blanks. I’m happy,anyway because we get pictures. Now lets have people come out and suggest they are just friends. Talk about fairytales! LOL ;)

    Well I hope they have a good time where ever they go.

    Lisa they kill me with that “just friends” idea. They really like to think of William & Kate as the most disfunctional royal couple on the planet.
