Prince William parties at Guy Ritchie’s Pub
Prince William has given Guy Ritchie’s pub The Punchbowl the royal seal of approval reports the Daily Mail…
William, 26, followed in the footsteps of cousin Beatrice with a visit to the destination pub which is owned by film director Ritchie, who was also in attendance – as he is most nights.
His appearance came on a rare night off for the trainee RAF pilot. And he appeared to take full advantage, heading to club Whisky Mist after enjoying a drink at the Punchbowl with pal Guy Pelly.
It’s not certain whether Guy and William met, but then Mr Ritchie may have had his fill of royalty after spending eight years married to the Queen of Pop, Madonna.

hi,
are these several recent club/pub outings without Kate which he started around christmas time an indication that he considers himself ‘free’ as he once put it.
also the continuing connection with middleton family rather than with Kate alone is an odd situation especially when in context of comment in recent tv program of Kate being a sort of foil for william’s activities does not sound healthy.
there is something odd in the entire relationship which may indicate that there is some sort of control being exercised on william either from above(rf) or other unknown source.
perhaps someone should come clean on this whole business because reputations and families are being sullied and this is not a respectful postion for the crown or country to be in. all in all the whole recent saga is a disgrace and will hurt the position of royal family most in the long run.perhaps there is governmental invlvement?

I do not think there is any conspiracy theories in both accounts. The Monarchy had there doom and gloom with C&D and A&S. They all learned from it, W&H where the most affected.
Don’t you see how they cling to their girlfriends, this is new.
March 28th, 2009 05:18
OT, PW and KM seem to be maturing. A normal guys time out.
March 28th, 2009 05:54
Thanks for posting the pictures,Steven!
I agree me,no conspiracy,just a guy going out with his pals.
Anyone ever wonder why they drive him around in such a small car? they know they will have 3,4 or sometimes 5 people in there. Why not use something bigger,more comfortable?
March 28th, 2009 06:05
is kate present on the punch ball?
March 28th, 2009 06:09
No,bluefire,boys night out!
March 28th, 2009 06:55
ked,why did you change your screename? we missed you
March 28th, 2009 08:07
I don’t have a problem with William clubbing without Kate. It happens. But, geez, “rare night out” from his RAF training? Not hardly. For someone who was not supposed to be distracted during his training, he sure spends a lot of time off base.
If he can go skiing, clubbing and take on more royal engagements, he can certainly have some retainer plan a royal wedding for him.
March 28th, 2009 09:13
I really think my boy Ked was pointing out that his training being put aside. We are about enter the fourth month of 2009 and these three months has been very wierd. Is William really putting his training to aside and the Palace haven’t made it known yet? If things keep going like this, we may just get a wedding but next year it will take place. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s going to happen this year.
March 28th, 2009 09:25
Ked, was getting to much recognition at other websites, maybe? I agree w/Deacon and I am slightly confused w/PW relationship w/the Midd family. Maybe his likes the family, so it makes it harder to part w/KM? That whole trip looked weird to me. Ususally when KM and PW go skiing in the past, the ski together, stand together, walk together. The one picture were they remotely look like a couple is when they were on the lift and I still think Papa Midds is the smartest one in the family as he either stayed in or stayed home. Why? Did he not want to play a part in the facade? KM could be the decoy for JM? Notice how they cut him out of the pics?
March 28th, 2009 10:33
I sometimes feel the less we see this couple, the better because when they appear in public, people complain that they don’t look close and off and when they don’t appear in public, people complain and say the relationship must be over. It’s like they can’t win.
There really is no confusion here, William spent some time with Kate and her family on a ski trip. He really like spending time with her and her family, which is beautiful. There are so many couples that goes through the heartache and pain of not liking each others families and wish they have to deal with his or her family and all that crap. That’s not the case here. William is being embraced by her family and Kate (thank God) is being embraced by his family. It’s all a blessing and it should be noticed by the media and public.
I know a lot of guys must think, boy Rman is going off the deep end but and I have to agree because it’s time for us all to wake up and smell the coffee perking. There is no big conspiracy theories of what’s going on here. William & Kate went on a skiing trip with her family and it seem like they had a good time.
March 28th, 2009 10:35
I meant-
“wish they didn’t have to deal with his or her family and all that crap.”
March 28th, 2009 10:54
Have you seen the pics of PW coming out of a club and their were girls dressed in very skimpy military outfits parading outside while PW takes photos w/his cell phone? I wonder if they were in the club? I wonder how KM feels about that?
March 28th, 2009 11:09
Was he taking photos of them or rolling down the number list to call someone?
March 28th, 2009 11:09
Gracie, I just looked at the pics of William coming out of the club. He had his mobile in his hand, but the pics of William don’t have any girls in the photos, and the pics of the girls don’t have William in the photos.
I can’t say whether William is taking photos with his mobile or not, but it doesn’t look like he is taking any photos to me. To me it looks like he was looking at his mobile, and possibly checking something on it. For all we know, he could’ve been looking at a text message or checking his calls. As I said, the girls are not in the photos with William.
Here’s the link so that people can judge for themselves:

ML, I suppose it’s hard to know what PW is doing w/his phone or why those girls where outside the club. Might hear more about it in Sun mags?
March 28th, 2009 12:14
from the enlarged photographs i dont think he was capable of aiming staight anyway.hes obviously not flying today
March 28th, 2009 12:21
deacon,I don’t think PW appeared very intoxicated at all. I have seen him worse,LOL.
March 28th, 2009 12:38
Gracie, in reply to your post #17, I doubt if we’ll hear anymore about it. I think WENN added those pictures of the ladies on the sidewalk.
I looked at the photos again, and William was exiting from the back door. It looks like the ladies are standing on the sidewalk in the front of the club. Here are some pics from ANP:

There are no girls in these photos, just William and his PPO and the paparrazzi. Wills is leaving from the back of the club, you can see the PPO coming up the stairs to the exit.
The girls were standing in the front.

I wish i could get a autograph of pw. Does anyone know how?
March 28th, 2009 16:15
Stripeshirt, you probably can write to Clarence House and ask for a signed picture.
Here’s the address:
Clarence House, London, SW1A 1BA.

Thank-you (sir). I like all royal families. But work keeps me busy and i am picking up on (my) age kinda in the middle of elerdely. Have a very nice day.
March 28th, 2009 18:20
Your Welcome Renee. I hope you get your picture.

Many people think that PW has not married KM because he is committed to the army life and he wouldnt have much free time for marriage, but as to why I see, he is not very committed to the army and he is having a lot of free time for parties, holidays etc. So what is preventing PW from marrying KM?
I do agree with deacon, it is suspicious that every time PW goes out with KM, they are not alone, they are with her family. Probably the relationship is over but it was amicable and PW is a good family friend. PW and KM seem to get alone very well and they seem to share the same likes and dislikes and this could explain the reason why they could remain good friends after a break up. I believe that even if PW broke up with KM, they would still love and support each other as friends. Many people think that they seem to love each other, and I am pretty sure it is true but there are different types of love. So in reality we dont know the type of love they feel for each other. If we just saw them doing what normal couples do (holding hands and even kissing), then we could guess that it is romantic love, but since I have never seen them doing this, then it leaves in my mind a lot things to wander.

“That’s not the case here. William is being embraced by her family and Kate (thank God) is being embraced by his family.”
- By RMAN post #12
I think this guy is acting so naive about the fact that Prince William is the future king of England and Kate and her family are natives of England.
Whose English family nor girlfriend would not stick and “embraced” the fute king of England? Tell me!!! Come on…Carole Middleton will not give away the chance from being a commoner to a royalty. But hey…thats why PW loves the family because they are very “common”
Also in my opinion, the only thing why I am so interested about ROyal Family is that they are different from the “commoners”
I like the fact that the royal family is either from “blue blood” or old money “aristocrats” and not just a “commoner” Thats what makes them really different. You know?
So if PW gets married with KM. Then the children should be acknowledged as “half-royal” and “half-commoner” :-p
And in my honest opinion, I think KM is nice, wonderful, pretty woman and very exlusive… but I have a doubt if I want her to be my future queen. 27 years old and she has not done anything!!! I dont think she has the leadership or charisma inside her to run the 16 countries.
In other words, KM is not flexible enough to handle the situation.
And I do not need a queen who can just pose and cut the ribbons for the charities. I need a queen who is good in politics, economy and what is going on outside the world. I need a queen who can socialize, bold and stand-up for herself. Not just a woman who hides and whines “I cannot do anything because I get a lot of paparazzi.”
I want someone like Queen Elizabeth who was assertive enough when it comes to helping the politics, economy and humanity. (Please read your history if you do not what I am talking about). Someone like Princess Mary of Denmark. Someone like Carla Bruni.
SO to Kate Middleton, if you are reading this. Please do something and not just be a “waity-kaity” I know that you have been working already to Party Pieces Company since 2008…but please…do something else. Try to be the role model for other women. Show that you have what it takes to be the future queen. Show your assertiveness and do something else about your life. Show that your life is “leading” to somethine else. Please show that you are “growin” up. Please do not show to the other girls to wait around and do nothing. If I am your friend, this is what I am going to advise to you. But I dont know you…so I cannot really say anything to you.

recognizable, that was just my opiniona and yes it seems like The Middletons has embraced William for William. By the interviews I have seen of him, he really seem to be a nice young man and has a great charm about him. At the moment Kate is just an image and we haven’t got a chance to see what she can really do. It was said that royal advisors didn’t want to put her out there and do lots of charity work because they are afraid that she will be compared to Diana. By the way I see it, she’s going to have to get out there and make a connection with the people. We little facts about her and we still need to know her better.
March 29th, 2009 12:49
I said this entire friendship with the middleton family could be unhealthy and what we may be seeing is a repeat of history. instead of camilla approving a bride for Prince Charles , will we see Catherine suggesting a bride for Prince William because she doesnt want to marry him herself.pippa perhaps joking.a very strange and odd state of affairs has developed with a relationship seemingly going nowhere fast or a guy who doesnt know what he wants. the girl, apparently he says dont know many times,a job as raf pilot, again apparently he seems to have deserted for the flesh pots of london town.his father hedged againt the girl and lost her until he caused hell to roll over to get her back but at least applied himself to the job and didnt just go drinking with his mates.unhealthy unwilling or unable.
March 29th, 2009 13:54
Deacon, your posts make no sense at all. You sound very uneducated.
March 29th, 2009 14:28
hi Grandma828,
He must be able to read because I think he has his historical facts correct and it seems a sensible record of PC and Camilla and PW and Kate.
What is it you disagree with grandma because it’s as near to the truth as to what happened and he is doing what we all do wonder exactly what is happening.
Perhaps he’s not American
March 29th, 2009 14:37
Recognizable,
Quite a lot to say, and in the best of worlds, a lot of it would be true.
However, the fact is that there are few examples of women who did just what you suggest KM does in her position. And the results for those who did are mixed at best. I can think of PE wife, Sophie, whose previous work life (and life in general) was used against her, and every once in a while is used again. Further afield, Maxima, married to the Dutch heir to the throne, also faces challenges related to judgments on her previous work life (though admittedly not only because of that). Letizia of Spain might be a glaring exception, but one complicated by the Spanish heir’s own history of romantic entanglements. And then there is the exception that proves the rule story… On the other hand, Diana had been nothing more than a nanny!
Clearly, there is not much prior professional training necessary for the role of royal consort. Its an on the job learning experience kind of thing. Discretion, poise and willingness to learn seem more to the point. Intelligence never hurts either.
March 29th, 2009 14:58
I think what Deacon says makes alot of sense and he sounds very educated. Just because his opinion differs from others, does not make it less true or uneducated. That article they are running sounds like the one where Harry tells the barmaid his brother is “madly in love.” Something weird going on. Maybe PW and JM like each other and KM is the decoy or PW is more in-love w/the Midd family that KM and does not want to loose them if they breakup?
March 29th, 2009 15:02
Is it possbile that PW is having what the singer John Mayer calls a “quarter-life crisis?”
March 29th, 2009 15:08
Deacon, why would KM not want to PW after all this time and the abuse she has gone through? I just don’t see her turning him down, unless PW has done something unforgiveable, besides infidelity.

Gracie,
such an idea was explored with much more insight and humor in the series “Arrested Development”
March 29th, 2009 15:55
Soujourner you sound very much like a principal
or even a ruler but i will remain cautious until the development be judged or banns be read
March 29th, 2009 16:09
I am tired of all the games. To add to Gracie wonderful commentary, I truly don’t believe Kate would end it w/William, because of the press attention either as she did seem enjoy her pic taken. He mother looks thrilled and Kate looks miserable.
March 29th, 2009 16:25
soujourner are you suggesting it may run and run to many episodes with a finale to eventually compete with the olympics
March 29th, 2009 17:12
‘Wait and see, wait and see.’
March 29th, 2009 17:19
Hale,I think the odds of William actually having said those things is pretty small. The only way I see it is if he was pretty intoxicated,which is possible.
March 29th, 2009 17:23
One more thing before I depart for dinner…The DM has the airline story up a second time under “news” and the byline is a different person other then KN. The odd thing is you can click on the original story from KN right from the same page. Weird.
March 29th, 2009 17:30
locksmithoflove, I’m with you because I’m tierd of all the games too. Not so much of William & Kate because they will get down that isle, we just have to wait on it. What I’m tierd of is the silliness that is going on in the blogging world. Have any of you guys look at some of those royal sites lately? They are getting nasty and insane more and more everyday. It’s not about people sharing your same opinion because everybody has their own but the things they are saying, will make you think that they need some help. I don’t know how Mapleleaf do it, because she tries to calm people down with facts but they don’t give a damn about facts, they just want to be nasty towards this woman.
Rman is telling you the truth, it’s getting crazy out there.
Mathilde, thanks for letting us know about that show, I will record it.
deacon, I must say that I’m glad William gets along with her family because if he didn’t, that would be really bad. The crazy part is, he has been on vacations with them before, now all of a sudden people got a problem with it.
The Middletons seem to be a close family, Diana’s family was torn apart by divorce and was distant. I think he like that he has found a family that is close and he enjoys their company. They will most likely become his in-laws so establishing a close bond is important. William & Kate is going to need a good support group around them.
March 29th, 2009 18:09
Lisa, that’s what I thought. William was tipsy, got caught out hence St.J’s commenting on this story.
However, was the story in NOW, London or NOW, Lilliput land? Only I cannot find it.
Off to bed, have to be up for work in the morning.
Goodnight, God bless and may your God go with you.

Reply to posts #32
The fact that all the ladies you have mentioned have survived and experienced the “real life” wants me even more to have a future queen like that. I think KM has been spoon-feed too much by his parents. I am not a hater by KM but I just do not like the fact that she is not independent, bold enough to be my future queen. You know what I mean? I do not want a queen who will be spoon-feed by the commoners. AT least princes Diana who you called a “nanny” has the guts to be independent. She was not scared to live her life fully.
I want a survivor queen! Tell me what KM will do if the 16 countries are in great recession? Is she just going to poise and cut the ribbons? Is she just going to be so quiet and do nothing? I mean, for now, KM does not have the experiences or what it takes to be the future queen.
Look…KM has a good education background and so called “intelligent” But I do think KM is just smart when it comes to books, and not in real life.
But I think KM is really gorgeous except for her thin lips. And I am happy if KM really makes William happy :-p
March 29th, 2009 18:33
Hi,
I have this theory which obviously may be right but in all probability wrong.
There are many posters both on here and elsewhere who can only see one end to this story. The eventual engagement and marriage of William and Kate but who refuse to accept any negative reports. It is obvious from actuality that William has balked from marriage on more than one occasion with the RAF episode seemingly the most desperate attempt to avoid final commitment and they have a continuing history of off/on over the years so obviously there are feelings between them.. Is that a fair summary of the present position.
I think it is but still there is this presing urgency to have their position regularised when there are obviously difficulties that we probably know nothing about.
Other read the same reports but see a different outcome and see the ‘yessers’ as pushing a lost cause. They therefore retaliate by writing negative and often hurtful comments but not really against the couple because they don’t know them but against the posters who they think are looking at the matter with rose coloured spectacles because they don’t know the couple either. So to this theory.
If ‘yessers’ don’t try to dominate their views on all and sundry then the sundry will not have anything to retaliate against and will stop their attacks on Kate in particular.
May not be true but can I suggest we try it.
March 29th, 2009 20:43
if PW has intentions to marry KM, then it is
incumbent upon him to assist her in starting to take on some more public duties
KM’s participation in charities would be the ideal first step; PW has had many opportunities to include her in organizing some charitable events, or appearing at them, yet he has seemingly taken pains to exclude her
it would be such a help to KM’s public image, since she is still being attacked by some for seeming to be without any clear calling;
now we see photos of PW patronizing bars on guys’ night out. but this seems so adolsecent!
how must KM be feeling, to see or hear about PW and his buddies in a bar with all these other young women?
isn’t this the second time this has occurred, that we know of?
it was last fall, around the time of KM’s strange disappearance from public view that PW was attending some bar event, with the likes of paris hilton and other women.
if PW is still romantically involved with KM, then these bar visits just seem totally improper….
and if he’s not involved with her….
either way, is he helping his public image?
March 29th, 2009 21:08
Gracie et al,
all sojourner was suggesting was…
I can’t stand John Mayer’s music, and I recently received a DVD of 1st season of “Arrested Development” and loved it.
Is all.
Jeez
March 29th, 2009 21:09
