Kate Middleton can’t wait to become a Mum
April 11th, 2009 | Posted in: Kate Middleton, Prince William
Kate Middleton can’t wait to become a Mum reports the Daily Star…
Broody Kate, 27, fears her biological body clock is ticking as William pursues his seven-year training as an RAF helicopter rescue pilot.
A friend told the paper;
“Kate’s very happy in her relationship with William and ever since he started his training they’ve seen more and more of each other. He has some married quarters and Kate spends a lot of time there living under the same roof. But when they finally marry, she and William will be under the most incredible pressure to start a family.”
“She knows the clock is ticking and she doesn’t want to see 30 come and go and find herself short of time and plagued by health problems that come with older pregnancies.”

Short of time? Plagued by health problems?
Not in this world!
We know that 30 is the new 20, particularly when it comes to reproductive age. As a mother of 2 young children, in my circle of friends, and among the parents of my children’s playschool I don’t know of a mother who had their children BEFORE 30. Obviously, statistics show many women do; but they also show many others do not, and few plagues have resulted (other than badly brought up children, but that is another story altogether
)
Ohhhhh, catherine middleton want to have a child by Wills!! oh no oh no, but why she had say in the magazine that she won’t have a child cause she’s not ready for that!! or maybe i’m wrong see that “Word’s” maybe??
You know I don’t know why the people make such a big deal about Kate’s age and how long she got to have children. If she had celebrated her 87th birthday back in January, then there would be a big problem but this girl is young, fit, healthy and she has plenty of time to have children. I think it’s time for the tabs to get out of her womb now.
Rman
You know my feelings about that subject but I do feel someone is acting in a very selfish and self centred way.
More to do bye Keep up the good post and I’ll try to keep up to date.
Hello! what a nonsense even to talk about her age. First of all there are a lot of young 30-35 year-olds who only in this age are starting to think about getting married and having children. There is no age problem with pregnancy even in 35 neither for women nor for men. So it’s ridiculous to public such a sentence about ticking clocks. For teenagers KM seems old maybe. But for people who are over 40 she is a very young lady, for those people of 60 y.o. and more she is a child, just a girl. And it is definitely her and her partner’s choice whether and when to bear a child in 27 or 37.
…and Rman, Ked, Hale, and all of you, my dear posters, Happy Easter!
Come on people, do you really think that KM would say any such thing! No one has yet heard this young woman’s voice and I’m quite sure that none of her friends would speak to the Paps. Loads of my friends don’t intend having children until they are at least 37 so KM has no concerns there. I feel that things are becoming just too personal, no one should be discussing her biological clock!
Happy Easter to everyone!
Redlady, I agree.
princess mary became a mum aged 33, the same for princess letizia and maxima, princess mette marit 29 (second child), not really a problem
Redlady,
I agree with everything you said. NO one should be discussing Kate’s biological clock when she is in her twenties!
I can understand conversation drifting to the biological issues if Kate as about to turn 39 and had no engagement ring, then it would be a more meaningful and relevant conversation to have.
New article about Kate. Check this out> the guardian/culture/Kate’s great escape…
Well KN is reporting on Freddies wedding details.

Good morning everyone! I just wanted to pop in and say Happy Easter to all of you. I hope you guys have a great day!
…«kate’s great escape from wisteria land». its about claudia joseph book.
Guys I dont think its Kate’s age now thats problematical but William’s dalliance is.There is no way the should marry and have children whilst he is serving. I know many others do but others do not have securtity issues that they will have. He is still not showing the inclination to marry but it seems that he clings to Kate and her family which may or may not indicate his maturity. If he is disturbed in any way following his own childhood and the break up between his parents then he should get the help required and not substitute his lack of family with other substitutes. This may not be healthy and may even be a reason why he cant make his mind up to marry Kate or not because he doesnt want to lose another family. Outrageous perhaps but in the absence of other explanation may be near the truth.Im not in any way suggesting that he is not in love with Kate but perhaps the confusion in his mind is sufficient to give him cause to think and doubt his real feelings.
Surprised that some of the other royal did not attend Easter Service w/Queen. Where are they all? I atleast expected Zara, Sophie and Edward, Andrew and the girls.
Rman, your post #3 is pretty funny even though it’s true.
Here is the link to the Guardian Review.
http://tinyurl.com/dxw8yf
It just goes to prove that we really don’t know this girl all that well after nearly seven years. There still lots of things to learn about her and I don’t know about you guys but I really want to know more about Kate.
Penny, I get what you are saying and I have always thought that William was going to have a tough time in the future because he witnessed so much within his own family. He appear to be very close to kate and her family and I think it helps their relationship a lot. This is why he is being allowed to take his time with his relationship with Kate, the expectations for him to have a successful marriage is high and I think he and Kate want to get this right.
Gracie, it do seem like the royal family gatherings for Easter is getting smaller by the year. William & Harry haven’t attended in a long time. Hopefully in the future, the family will start to grow again and there will be bigger gatherings.
Charles and Camilla are in Scotland,Gracie.
LOL, Gracie it’s just true. I don’t know what people are doing in that girls womb, but it’s time to get out of there. LOL.
Sorry, Andrew, Edward and Sophie did attend.

wow, that site is horrible!! why do people spend their time writing hateful posts 24/7 about someone they don’t even like!?!?
seriously, find something better to do with your time.
happy easter!!!
A N Wilson, who reviewed the Claudia Joseph book is a respected English historian.
As you know, I browsed this book only, and I wouldn’t waste my good money buying it.
Rman
Yep, I agree, all those paps should get out of Kate’s womb. 
As for the Daily Star article. What can I say? It’s the Daily Star. The only star this newspaper will ever receive is the one it has already given itself in it’s name.
They do not have royal sources, they do not have royal commentators. A couple of weeks back guess what their headline was? Was it about the newly elected President? The was in Afghanistan? The ever shrinking Ice Cap? No, their headline was about a woman who uses her breasts to bash melons. God only knows what Alsgal would make of that one.
Frankly, the Daily Star should never, ever be taken seriously.
First Time…Thank you, and a very Happy Easter to you and all on this forum.
Happy Easter Steve.
Gift From God – that is a horrible site!
Happy easter everyone
Happy Easter everyone!
Rman, how refreshingly blunt. From your fingers to the paps’ ears.
Geez, give the girl a break. I know ensuring the future of the monarchy is important. But let’s not go the Japanese Imperial Family route. That actually CAUSED the problem.
Prince William and Ms. Middleton will do what they do, when they decide to do it (may it be soon
). Until then, she is a private citizen and her womb is OFF LIMITS.
I don’t even know how they got in there in the first place. I can imagine how the headlines will look once they marry. It will be crazy. I think William & Kate will have to get the message out there that they will take one step at a time once they get married. That is what Sophie did, during the engagement interview a member of the press asked the baby question and Edward said one step at a time.
Rman, if you don’t know how they got there in the first place, let me explain to you where baby papparazzi come from.
So anybody want to guess where they spent Easter? Balmoral or Berkshire? My money is on Carole being a better cook then the ones at Balmoral,lol. Maybe the Sun will have the scoop later or tomorrow.
I’m guessing W & K were in Scotland. William does have his own house there.
Here is the Telegraph’s artical on the royal Easter gathering.
http://tinyurl.com/ckapt5
Hale & Lisa maybe you guys are on to something because in the artical it say’s: A Clarence House spokesman said Prince William and Prince Harry were “spending Easter privately”,
Rman, Trust you to be the one to come up with a link.
If Charles & Camilla are in Scotland, that would mean W & H have Highgrove all to themselves. Methinks they are partying it up with friends in the basement. I forget what they call it now.
Isn’t it Club ‘H’.
So I wonder where PH and PW were at? I think the younger royals should have to attend Easter Service as well. Of course some has legitmate reasons for not going, Eugenie on gap year. I get the feeling that the younger royals don’t feel the need to or understand why it is important to be consisitant. Beatrice and Eugenie need to do royal duties they are old enough! The older royals will not be around forever and then what happens when PW or PH had other things they wanted to do on Easter Sunday or Christmas,etc. There will be no need for them. The public like to see them even if it just walking in and out of the church. Sorry to rant on about it. PW and PH are probably at Highgrove or skiing. Maybe Ked will have some clues.
Has anyone seen photos other than on Getty, Rex, Wenn of the pic of Camilla the Telegraph posted? I am just curious as I can’t find them on the sites I listed only of the Queen in Berks Easter. I am wondering if PC, PH and PW are skiing? Until I see photos of C&C together at the service in Scotland and not just Camilla, I remaind hesitant that PC is in country. I’ll wait and see if more photos are coming though.
gracie,Charles and Camilla’s appearance at the service in Aberdeenshire was posted on the PoW website,I believe. I am sure Charles was there. Harry,William and Kate may have joined C/C for Easter at Balmoral.
Lisa, yes it is posted on PoW site, but w/no pics. I’m sure they will pop up some place.
PW next royal duty is April 24th.
What’s up with the weird hats all the RF women decided to wear???
it’s great that everyone here seems to know someone who easily and successfully had children in her 30s, r40s, or later
but that’s what’s called “anecdotal evidence”
you can’t make valid generalizations based on anecdotal evidence
you can’t say: “I know many, many people in my personal life who’ve gotten ill after eating
pepperoni pizzza, so I know pepperoni pizza causes illness.”
you can’t take isolated cases and generalize to larger populations
the fact is that more and more studies show that women’s fertility starts declining in the 30s, so much so that by the time the average woman reaches 40, she’s highly unlikely to conceive
of course we all know women in their 40s who have conceived….but those are isolated cases…
so it’s really risky for a woman who wants kids to postpone too long….
it might take longer to conceive, and fertility declines further with each passing year
then, as someone mentioned, there are other issues that kick in, such as general health issues, which can further complicate things
so if PW really wants a family and future with KM, the smart thing to do is marry her now
but aside from issues of children, there’s the issue of love, caring, empathy…..
surely KM wants to be married…she’s part of a cohort who want marriage, as a life goal….
more and more of the men and women she’s acquainted with are marrying….
soon she and PW will be the only ones left….
PW surely knows this, yet lets KM dangle year after year
it borders on cruel and callous
\”surely KM wants to be married\”
We must remember that although many women in long term relationships want marriage, marriage to PW is quite different then marriage to someone who is not a future king.
I am sure if Kate was so unhappy with her situation,she would exit the relationship.
The daily star article is foolish and not worthy of comment. JMO.
anastasia,
unless you cite (title, author, publication, date) the studies you mention about declining fertility, your evidence is also anecdotal.
Here are some facts: in 2004, the fertility rate for women 30-35 overtook the fertility rate for women 25-29
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/hub/index.html
Rman, wrote this at posting No. 3
I think it’s time for the tabs to get out of her womb now.
I couldn’t better this, but I would add, it’s not only the tabs who should get out of Kate’s womb.
relying on anecdotal evidence means using isolated cases to make generalizations about larger populations
mentioning/discussing results of scientific studies is not the same as relying on anecdotal evidence
it’s easy to confuse “birth rates,” which are often listed as “fertility rates,” with the issue of fertility in the sense of ‘ease of conception’
it’s true that, in many western nations, women are postponing pregnancy to some extent, just as the marriage age is slowly creeping upwards
so, it’s perfectly plausible that women in the 30-35 range had higher ‘fertility,’ in the sense of ‘birth rate,’ than women in their 20s—maybe women in their 30s were having kids while women in their 20s were not
but that tells us nothing about fertility, in the sense of ‘ease of conception’, of either group of women
it could mean that women in their 20s had zero children, compared to women in the 30-35 range….
the issue of fertility as ease of conception is a different issue than fertility in the sense of birth rates
Science is doing wonders.
I am still waiting for references to the population studies being brought up as evidence. Last ones I am familiar with date to the 1980′s… I know some made news in the DM couple of years back, but where later discredited (AMA.org)
Ultimately, as a society we need to leave the business of making decisions about wombs to the women who carry them.
If she marries Wills, she will have the best doctors.
It seems all the parents at my childrens school had their children in their 30′s. I can only count on one hand the number of parents in their 20′s. It is really not a big deal to have children in your 30′s. Quite the norm now actually.
I agree I think between 30 and 40 is the perfect age to have children. Any older than that & it could get really problematic. In your twenties I personally think that it could go either way depending on the couple. With this couple in particular they seem to be very active with skiing shooting etc and a child right now just may not be in their best interest. William IMO already seems to be a hesitant heir apparent & possibly (we don’t know) may have some commitment issues. If you were to add the pressure of a child on top of both of those things it could equal a very frustrated young man and a very unhappy wife and mother (where have we heard that before C&C me thinks). I’m hoping that next year will be their year and they will get married. We will see….. How old are they right now? I know someone must know? I feel like it is 27 maybe but not sure.
<_< Good Grief, Kate Middleton just turned 27 years old in January, she has another 3 years to go before she even turns 30, let alone 35! I turned 28 in December and I don’t consider myself to be old at all, and Kate is exactly one year younger than me. If my hubby and I don’t have children before we’re 30, that’s okay, we’re still young, my womb is still young, and so is Kate’s womb. Why would anyone discuss her fertility as if she’s going to have some sort of problem?
On the Prince Of Wales’ website, it mentions that the normal RAF SARF pilot’s operational tour of duty is a maximum of 36 months, minimum 30 months, and that’s AFTER 18 months of training. The MOD said the exact same thing in several different articles. There are NO MoD articles or hard news articles Anywhere that state that Prince William will do more than ONE (1) Operational Tour of Duty.
As William started his 18 months of training on 12 January, he’s already been at it for 3 months. His training will be up in June of 2010, period. There’s no guessing, no Ifs, Ands, or Buts about that.
The 30 to 36 month period of operational duty will commence after that. Even if William starts his Operational tour in January 2011 after taking a 6 month break, he will still have completed 30 months by June of 2013. Kate Middleton will only be 31 years old at that time.
Kate Middleton has plenty of time to have a baby, and I think the Daily Star and Clive Goodman have really crossed the line with this silly, rubbish article.
Yeah, we just have to wait and see what these two will do.
Let me state first that I am Pro-Kate, but I wanted to say that I think this is a topic that should be discussed. The main job of William’s wife (in a public sense, not in their private life) will be to produce an heir, and Kate’s age will become an issue in a few years.
Look at this chart:
http://www.babycenter.com/0_chart-the-effect-of-age-on-fertility_6155.bc
A woman 30-35 only has a 63% chance of conceiving. The RF won’t want to take any chances, and think how awful for Kate it would be to have to go through the angst of fertility treatments PUBLICLY (because you know it would get out!)
Once again, I’m Pro-Kate, but I think this topic should be considered when we are trying to predict When/If they get married.
“conclusions: Women’s fertility begins to decline in the late 20s with substantial decreases by the late 30s….”"
from:
that is one of many scholarly articles discussing women’s declining fertility, with age (fertility defined in the sense of ‘ease of conception’)….
as many have pointed out, the monarchy is first and foremost an organization intent on preserving its existence
producing heirs is crucial
while any particular woman may have NO difficulty conceiving in her 30s, advancing age does raise concerns
it would be very sad for KM to reach 30 and have concerns over this become an issue
but aside from fertilty, the main thing is:
why not propose to KM now?
and why not marry her soon?
when you love and cherish someone, don’t you want to refrain from making them wait?
whoops!
here’s the article:
http://humrep.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/17/5/1399
LRose, I have seen similar statistics to yours mentioned nearly a year ago on this same site but the poster was soundly told off.
Mapleleaf, William’s training with S&R proper starts in June and finishes in December 2010.His training since January has been familiarizing himself on Squirrel helicopters prior to starting on Seakings and to get in the required number of hours which he did not have from initial training. I am not a aircraft buff but have read these again on earler posts on this same site. His 36 months will therefore start in January 2011 and finish in December 2013 which gave rise to keds premise of an engagement early 2014 with a marriage in May or July 2014. That therefore puts Kate into her 30′s before childbirth with the resultant complications mentioned above. As I said this matter was mentioned on this blog a year or so ago acording to the site stats which I have read carefully and was at that time poo pooed. I have no knowledge personally on this matter but it did and does concern me as a fan of Kate and William. It makes me think that William (or even Kate as we dont know the reasons) is/are cutting things a little fine and who knows perhaps this will dawn on thr RF and they may want to take appropriate and possibly disasterous actions. It may even be under consideration at present time perhaps even accounting for William’s cussedness and reluctance to face facts.
I believe God has his hand in all of this and if it’s in his plans for Kate to have a healthy baby before 30 or after 30, it will happen. It’s all down to Gods plan.
I believe next year all of this will come to pass and Kate will be a military wife. Lets all be patient and not get too carried away with the baby situation, it will all happen. William will not leave her hanging until 2014, 15, 16 or 17.
I think you are quite right Rman. He will not leave her hanging until 2014. I just can’t see that happening. I don’t think Kate would let it continue on that long. I think 2011 at the latest.
That’s right maddie. I believe William & Kate are not only loving partners but also good friends and good friends don’t let each other down.
Speaking of good friends and lovers, on Saturday Prince Philip will become Britains longest serving consort.
http://tinyurl.com/csxcnq
Penny, some of what you stated in your post #54 is incorrect. William’s training proper started 12 January, and will end in June 2010.
That is the timetable given by the Ministry of Defense, and it’s also the timetable from the official RAF Powerpoint slide that I provided in a link to on this site about 5 months ago.
William will complete his 18 months of training in June 2010, and he will have a six month period where he will either start his Operational tour immediately, OR he might take a six month break until January 2011 and perform Royal duties for six months, from June 2010 through December 2010.
Also, it has not yet been made Public whether or not William will go 30 months or 36 months. If it’s 30 months, then his Operational Tour of Duty will end in June, 2013.
If it’s 36 months, then his OTD will end in December 2013, as you stated. But my point is that Kate will be 32 in January 2014, NOT 35.
Fertility for 32 year old women is usually good. Fertility clinics pay for donor eggs from women up until they reach the age of 36, and donor eggs MUST be of the highest quality.
On average, most 32 year old women have normal eggs with no problems or defects. It’s highly unlikely that Kate will have a problem. If the Royal Family was that worried, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, would’ve been much younger than aged 38 when she had Lady Louise. But Sophie was 38 years old, so apparently Prince Edward wasn’t worried about it.
And apparently Crown Princess Victoria isn’t worried about it either, because she’ll be 32 years of age before she and Daniel Westling even get married in 2010.
Let’s move on to Autumn Phillips, the Queen’s new Granddaughter-in-law. Autumn is 31 going on 32 years old now, and so far no pregnancy has been announced.
Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark, was 32 years old when she and Frederick married, and she was only 4 months away from turning 34 when Prince Christian was born. So Denmark wasn’t worried about it, and Sweden isn’t worried about it now. If they were, CP Victoria would’ve been married well before now.
And what about Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway? She was 31 years old when Princess Ingrid Alexandra was born.
Or Princess Máxima? She had her first child when she was almost 33 years old, and her husband Prince Willem-Alexander is the heir to the Dutch throne. It doesn’t seem as if the Dutch Royal Family was very worried about Maxima’s age.
Many Crown Princesses have been over the age of 30 when they had their first child, and it doesn’t seem to have caused any problems so far.
As I said before, IMO the Daily Star article is just rubbish. To repeat what Rman and Hale said, I think we should get out of Kate Middleton’s womb, and we need to take the tabloids with us!
Mapleleaf, I’m glad you are giving us that info and I hope you are letting the other royal forums know the samething because people are getting the wrong idea. There is no announcement yet on if William will do the 30 or 36 month tour.
Yeah lets stay out of Kate’s womb because Kate won’t be able to have a baby at all if we and the press is in there.
mentioned sometime ago was Kate’s possible illness for 5-6 months, she didn’t look well the last few times we saw her, what is going on>?
Obviously she was well enough to ski? so what gives? was it a melt down at pw’s let down?
Or something serious????
Mapleleaf, I am not arguing only repeating reports read peviously which although some are 12 months and more have proved to be remarkably true.It was stated that although William received his wings 13 months earlier than any other RAF pilot has ever qualified for them he was not a fully qualified pilot and could not ferry passengers or pilot a fixed wing or helicopter without a qualified pilot unless he was solo.His service since January was to get hours on his log book to qualify and since 12 Jan he has only been on base for under 5 weeks.
I did not say that Kate was 35 but into her 30′s by 2014 and please remember the time between marriage and any births could add another year or thereabouts.All this is not an exact sience but is only opinions based on past expectations.
I do think that the continuous quoting of before this date or after that date by well meaning posters only inflames anti William/Kate posters who react with nasty rmarks. Best to sit tight and wait and not attempt to set any dates and wait for things to happen. THere is so much that is happening over the next 2 to 4 years that anything could happen even October this year.There I go setting bad exmple but that is how easy it is to say things. Lets say nothing and just wait and well all avoid heart aches
i thinked there is still enough time for her to become a mum. princess mary of denmark gave birth to their first child when she was 33.there’s a lot of procedures in getting pregnant.
does the hello magazine offer freddie and his fiancee coverage of their wedding?
Ms. Middleton is still a private citizen. Her womb is even more private. Let’s not discuss this further. It’s borderline prurient.
And Rman is right. There’s only so much room in there.
maddie….Glad to see you back
Hope everything is okay with you. I really missed your postings.
Meanwhile, I can’t find the link, but there is a story about Harry & Natalie Pinkham in Hello Magazine this week. I quote;
And although Harry is single, Natalie has also ruled out any dalliance between them. She told HELLO! in a recent interview: ‘Harry’s a friend, he’s a lovely, down-to-earth guy but that’s it.’
Also in this weeks Hello Mag, is Pippa Middleton. She was photographed out shopping in the King’s Road with Simon Youngman whose a diamond heir.
http://www.hellomagazine.com/magazine/
hale this issue of hello this week for hello uk
Oh Simon Youngman is back?? The miserable looking one which Pippa is seen with every now and again? I really do wonder who she is dating as she has been pictured with a number of eligible bachelors… Of course they could all be friends. I wonder if Pippa will end up engaged before kate & if that will be a surprise..
I thought PM was w/Percy while they were skiing in France? Maybe that was Pelly instead. What’s interesting is that photos posted on Photobucket by someone on another blog show that KM was in Verbier on her b-day and JM flew out to be w/her. It also shows that Eugenie and Beatrice were there too. There is also pics of JM w/their new black puppy Ella. Is that the one PW gave to KM at Christmas?
KM in Verbier on her B-Day ?! Hmmmm KM was at home with PW on her B-Day ?! So what is it ?
Gracie
Which site was this on? The press lead us to believe that PW was with KM at the Middleton homestead on her birthday?
Gracie, are you referring to the photos posted by Kinga77, or the photos in the mystera_2008 photobucket account?
If so, I wasn’t able to find photos showing Kate in Verbier anywhere. I did see photos of James with some friends skiing somewhere, and some photos of Pippa with some friends, but I didn’t see any of James with Kate in Verbier, or Pippa with Kate in Verbier.
I might be looking in the wrong places though. I checked TRF, RT, and WHU, but I wasn’t able to find photos of Kate Middleton in Verbier in 2009 anywhere. What’s the name of the blog where you saw the pics?
Well we do know that William time with Kate for her birthday and stayed at her house so if there’s any pictures, they must be days after her birthday. Where are these pictures?
I meant to say “William spent time with Kate”.
Hi Guys
I remember that some doubts were cast at the time because of snow, or lack of snow on the photographs of William’s Audi. There appeared to be frost on the grass but no snow and it did snow the day before Katre’s birthday. I know I was out in it. Possible that the photos which were a little out of character were published to calm speculation down or up. In one report it said that William returned to Highgrove but another said that he was at his RAF base later that day.
M-leaf, yes you are correct. The pic of JM says he flew to Verbier to be w/KM on her b-day. It’s one of the skiing pics of him and some have captions under them. I don’t remember which one exactly it was, but there are only a couple. I am not familiar w/Photobucket, but can anyone write captions under photos or does it have to be done by the original poster?
mapleleaf
please, what does TRF stand for?
bluefire…thank you for providing that link.

Are there more, because I haven’t found them?
Oops…..Gotta go, The Apprentice is about to start. Catch up with you guys later.
Yeah I know people started to speculate on if William was at her house for her birthday but yeah he was there for that. JM may have went skiing in Jan or it’s the wrong date on the photo but Kate and William was in Scotland then back to her parents home.
Hale, there is also RF….The Royal Forums
Hale
Hope you enjoyed the apprentice! I would have preferred if Ben was fired.. I just wanted to say thanks again for your ‘London tips’. Southwark Cathedral was really nice esp Evensong. I didn’t make it to Mahiki because I was out-voted on that one but there’s always next time!
Although this artical about Kate dates back to 07, I have never read it before.

Interesting article Rman
Not much has changed since then.. Interesting that she was given permission to move her things into Clarance House or so the journalist believes.. I do wonder how this story will end..
I also didn’t know that Prince Charles had given the ok to have his bodyguard be Kate’s body guard… Interesting…
I didn’t know that either JJ. I have lots of hope for these two and I hope that things start to come a full-circle soon. To tell you the truth, I get so tierd of these engagement rumors and wish that we can get pass that and talk about the wedding details.
Shivs, agree with you, Ben should have been fired. Ah Well. Glad you enjoyed Southwark Cathedral. Did you get to any of the pubs I mentioned, and did you look around Borough Market? Sorry about the weather, it is England.
With regards to Kate’s bodyguard. I’m confused, I read a long time ago she was appointed one, but I have since read she doesn’t have a BG. I’m wondering since a deal was brokered with the press, has the BG been removed?
Hale she may have a bodyguard when she’s out in public but I don’t know about now since she make very little appearences these days.
I read in the RIF that in June’s Issue of Tatler, they will have a feature of Kate Middleton’s new look. Now I don’t know if they mean her hairstyle or wardrobe.
That’s going to be interesting Rman since as far as we the public have seen she has hardly been out at all……
Hale,
I did make it to Borough Market, I loved the entire area and plan to take in a play at the Globe on my next visit! The pubs didn’t seem to be in the right location for us when we needed a drink!
Re: Tatler Magazine
This is an interesting development! Like jj says has anyone (bar Party Pieces employees, her family and William) actually seen her to judge if she has changed her look?? If they’re advertising it for the next edition perhaps it’s an actual feature rather than a gossipy snippet? Hmmm… I’ll have to nip out to the shops to see what this is about!!!
Shivs….The Globe is great, on a sunny day. Southwark Cathedral was where Shakespeare worshipped. Glad you enjoyed Borough Market.
I too look forward to reading what Tatler magazine has to say. I wonder if Kate is co operating with the article?
Well doesn’t one of Camilia Parker Bowles children work for Tatler. If she did cooperate with the article then that would be a good reason why. Keeping it in the family so to speak
Tom Parker Bowles no longer works for Tatler.
Hale, it will be very interesting read and I wonder to if she has worked w/the mag? If she is working w/them on this “new look,” then it does not look good as far as her and PW relationship goes. Girlfriends don’t do spreads for mags if they don’t want to upset the palace.
Look I don’t think Kate is working with them about her new look, it may be they are talking about a new designer she may be looking at or someone knows that she has a new hairdo or something like that but I don’t think Kate is working with directly.
gracie……that’s a good point, and as an afterthought, I doubt she has co-operated with the mag, because if Kate has then it could be deemed as her doing something public and it would follow the paps would then have the right to start pursuing her again.
I think her disapperence from the public for awhile is what got people wondering too much. This should be a interesting summer.
Yes Rman…Kate cannot win.
When she is seen Kate is accused of courting the press.
When Kate is not see, then it is because she has given birth secretly, broken up, gone into hiding……who know’s, entered a nunnery, become the first female British astronaught, gone sailing into the Bermuda triangle….
The list is endless.
LOL, I will never forget the last year when we didn’t see her for awhile. People was saying that Kate was at home with her mother nursing a broken heart because William walked all over it with his spiked shoes. I mean the list really can go on and on. This is why I always say, calm down and lets be patient. Although I understand that we all can get very tierd of the long waiting and hoping. BTW I do hope we see them soon.
If anything, Pippa,who seems to be Kate’s silent mouthpiece might have spoken to Tatler. Again,it is probably the mag using Kate’s name to sell the product. Although I do expect Kate to get a makeover if she ever gets engaged to William, I highly doubt that it would be Tatler that will reveal her “new look”. Unless there is some PR campaign beginning for Kate,which I suppose is possible,although I doubt it. I am looking forward to Robin Nunn’s book which will be released in two weeks unless it is delayed because there was no engagement. If that happens,I will be very dissappointed to say the least. Robin’s book seems like it could be our first real look at this relationship from the inside as he is pretty much the official royal photographer and has access no one else does.
Lisa….Ditto that.
Double Ditto Lisa.
I have ordered my copy. The store will call me when it is in. I hope it clears up somethings. I
hope that we are not kept in the dark too long. I think that the longer people don’t know things the more their imaginations will be kicked into high gear. Headlines like Kate is desperate to or for…. will dominate the internet. It is unfortunate but in the absence of real news, stories about Kate and William are sensationalized. I heard on one of the news channels yesterday, that negative news sells. I guess they meant to take a positive story, one reads it, says that’s nice, and files it away only to be quickly forgotten. That is sad. Noone knows what Kate and William are up to these days. The more they are not in the news the more that becomes the news.
Well I recognize that the slow royal news somehow bring out the worst in peoples thoughts, their imagination runs wild and the tabloid stories adds fuel to the internet fire. It’s all so interesting.
I will order a copy of the book too even if it don’t give us much info as we would like but I do hope that something new is in it.
I think Kate and Will well be good parents.
