Zara Phillips’ Paparazzi Outburst

Zara Phillips has let rip at paparazzi who have been hounding her at the Badminton Horse Trials. The Daily Mail has the storyZara Phillips at Badminton Horse Trials

She raged at the press pack following her: ‘This is a competition, not a ****ing social event!’

Her outburst came the day after a member of the paparazzi allegedly caused her horse, Ardfield Magic Star, to rear as she entered the dressage arena.

After getting the message off her chest she did, however, offer a half-hearted apology.
‘I’m not blaming you, it’s just people like that [the paparazzi] who give you lot a bad name,’ she said, then offered a wave.

Her mood was further lightened later when she came ninth in the dressage event on her other horse, Toytown.

    Interesting behind the scenes video from last year of Zara Phillips getting ready for the Badminton Horse Trials.

    This is great, snapped at the paps then told off the media. Perhaps since she is a Royal daughter, she may send the message for a girlfriend out there.

    It has a double sense IMO.

    Did anyone notice on REX that Jecca Craig was at the Badminton Trails this year? I have not found pics of Hugh being there yet, but Peter is there w/o Autumn. Have Jecca and Huge married yet or will they marry in England instead of Kenya?

    Rman,
    I will join you at keeping our fingers crossed that Kate is with William tomorrow. I can’t imagine how she will feel being in public again. There is difinitely a new dynamic to the relationship. The event is happening near her home. So it will be interesting as to what happens. I am hoping that William and Harry will take her to the match. I am just anxious to see Kate. It has been awhile.

    Guys I am really hoping that Kate attend this event tomorrow. She has always attended in the past so it would be odd for her to stay away. I am trying to think positive but I am beginning to wonder if there is more to her absence from the spotlight so to speak. With no announcement yet and this public absence, I am not sure what is going on. I hope we see her tomorrow.

    Kat, Lisa something is telling me that these two are engaged. They silenced the rubbish in the press and Kate has not been seen out on the town lately, her family hasn’t been seen lately either. I thought something was fishy when they went to Scotland and then William was seen leaving her house after her birthday. Then that french artical came up and mentioned that it all kick off in Scotland. Everything has been very wierd since this year started. I could be slowly losing my mind but something is telling me that it really did happen this year. If they did get engaged, when are they planning to announce it? If I remember correctly, the french artical didn’t say that it would be announced in March but they guessed that it would be in March. I don’t know, that artical really got me thinking.

    Rman, I love your positive thinking. I really hope we see Kate tomorrow(today,lol). I too was very convinced that things were falling into place. I am not as convinced now. I am starting to prepare myself for a pretty big dissappointment. Something is very off but I am not sure what it is. If she does not appear at polo,something is up and it is probably not an engagement. :(

    why does noone comment on the arcticle in australia based on kates family, mainly her brother. I just wonder if an arcticle like that will do irreperable damage to kate in the eyes of the queen. i am a huge fan of kate and hope for them to be married but i agree with lisa there is something not quite right and that arcticle really made the middletons look ”unclassy’. Lady Diana was never pictured in such a fashion, she never commented but came from impeccable “breeding” and her family would never have caused her such embarassment. Just my opinion i really hope they get married i love kate. please be right rman

    You don’t have to be friends with Zara to attend the Badminton Horse trials. Jeccca could obviously be there to support somebody else or just to watch the event.

    The way things have been lately I would be very surprised if Kate attended todays’s match. I think she’ll stay miles away from it.

    Nooene comments on the Australian aticle because people here understand that it is just crap. And Im sure the Queen agrees, so just take it easy!

    Danielle OS…The way things have been lately

    What do you mean by this? The silence and lack of appearances? How long can this go on? Is she not allowed out of the house? Kate seemed to enjoy these types of event like Cheltenham which she also did not attend this year. It\’s kinda odd,IMO.

  • Rman
    May 10th, 2009 06:25

    Well the main person to attend the Cheltenham races was the Queen and I don’t think Kate wanted to take the attention off her. The Queen’s horse ran, I think.

    Lisa, something is telling me that it really did happen. We just saw them on their skiing trip so I highly doubt they broke up but I can’t shake this feeling that they are engaged. They gave the press a slip twice, the Scotland trip then the skiing trip and I think that is what made things seem so wierd.

    Lisa maybe right on this one. There have been a lot of similar type bets before.

No one seems to have reported on it as yet….

    I don’t think there is a Polo match today. First, the tip was given by KN at DM, so..? I always thought JC and HC got married in March, but maybe it’s today in the UK? It’s very odd that the press would not print anything about the Polo match as it is for charity and it helps PR. I have found nothing of an Audi Polo Match on the internet and what I do get is from 2007 match.

    Well, I guess you cannot smile all the time, and perhaps these snapshots are not the best ones.

    She looks timid, like she did when she was first in front of the cameras when she arrived… was it a get together in Williams bed and a tentative come if you have too…

    I hope for her sake she gets what she wants, marriage to William, that is if she wants more than mistress, she will have a rude awakening then, imagine, he will do what he does to her now but when they live in the same place, taking off for days, screwing around with other women….

    I broke the first rule- about commenting about outrageous allegations. I hope that the rule is to ignore them and they might go away. I am not saying that everyone has a right to free speech. However, that freedom ends when the words are not only hurtful but down right nasty. The bottom line is that there are people who do not think that they are together. It will take a wedding and a blissfully happy life together to change some minds. Even though, there are people who will never like Kate no matter what she does. I hope for William and Kate that they do get married and live a long happy life together. I am just hapy to see them togethre walking arm in arm. I have said it before and I’ll say it again-with them it is not pda it’s PDA. It is not the public display of affection but Private Display of Affection.

    Thanks for setting the record straight Me. I guessed the same thing, that the ‘brief separation’ referred to in the Daily Express article was referencing the 2007 break up, and the ‘public engagements’ referred to were all of the public events where Kate was present in 2008.

    As for Wills and Kate not being together, let me post this pic again, in case people missed it when Mathilde kindly posted it for us:

    http://picture.belga.be/belgapicture/picture/prev/13777258.jpg

    And for those who want to see Kate with Tom Van Straubenzee, please kindly explain what you people expect Tom to do with his girlfriend, Melissa ‘Missy’ Percy? Because he is WITH Melissa at the Polo match, unless people are so blind they can’t see that:

    http://picture.belga.be/belgapicture/picture/prev/13777429.jpg

    So there goes the hopes that Tom is free to date Kate. Now the ‘Kate haters’ will have to think up something else. And since William is walking with Kate and he has his arm around her, the ‘Kate haters’ will also have to scramble around and find a silly, illogical reason why Wills has his arm around Kate.

    It’s not something he does on a usual basis in public, so how are the people who don’t want Wills to be with Kate going to explain it; maybe they’ll say Wills was being controlled by aliens or something? :lol:

But never a hater as you put it. I find your comments disturbing espcially after the vitrol you sent at dear chels only a few weeks ago. I think you should take the log out of your own eye first, as it were

    Mapleleaf, do you honestly think a relationship will stop any of them? It hasn’t stopped Will, ever, nor is it stopping tvs and kate, mark my words kate will be with tvs, by with, I mean in a carnal sense, if she hasn’t already…melissa is a slim slim chance he will get her, way way to much for ol tommy! She is sweet but also one of THE richest and most historically aristocratic of all the aristos, best of luck tommy, but you will need to stop drooling over kate first. Notice how recessed she is with women but boy when kate is with a man she is all fun!

    Chelsy is not Prince Harry’s girlfriend since January 2009. I will not fall into your personal attacks. You clearly referred to my name. I generalized the Kate haters, without mentioning who is who. So please refrain from attacking me.
    Lets keep posting about royalty. Thank you.

    LOL, well today was a good day for me. I took my family out for Mother’s Day and I came across these pictures. So you know I’m smiling from ear to ear today.

    You know, we talk a lot about kate but I notice that William seem to be a very happy fellow.
    In this photo:

    It looks like a guy in the crowd behind them is looking at them in a happy and pleasent way and I think their family and friends are very proud of them. They have come a mighty long way.

    I told you guys so, the Kate haters go crazy and say wild things once articles or pictures of W&K surface.

    You see ss not everyone is sick to think they have orgies or share between them. You are posting like if it where Charles and Camilla.

    Hilarious.

    Poor Strictly, sorry it’s you today. I think the TVS idea is a little silly, but people here will always jump on you even if you have a slightly opposing opinion. I have never met a ‘Kate Hater’ either, but those two words get thrown around here like a ball in the NBA Final Four.

    Funny ATX, notice Kate working Will and Will trying to ignore her, TVS pays attention to when she acts up…Kate is not perfect and she would make a great regular citzen, not a royal, but a second wife to an older lonely aristocrat, that is her position in the world

    Steven, would you please do something???? THANK YOU.

    I have repeatedly said this is the next site to attempt to ruin, and it’s happening.

    PLEASE STOP THIS NONSENSE FROM SETTING UP SHOP HERE. THANKS VERY MUCH.

    ** BRW – Yes, action has been taken but unfortunately this isn’t a big website that employs multiple people to moderate comments 24 hours a day. So if you see comments that are ‘troll-like’ then just ignore them until I can do something about it. The quickest way to draw my attention to something is via email (on the About Page) not via the comments, Thanks **

    Here is RK’s artical on Jecca & Kate.

    http://tinyurl.com/o3bq9n

    Well atx and stricklyspeaking, unfortunately there are some “Kate Haters” out there and yes we should respect eveyone’s opinion, but many of their opinions go way beyond opinions and they turn into very horrible and nasty attacks. I think we all have to give Kate a chance and we have to understand that dating a high profile prince today is no walk in the park. It may look very glamourous and grand but it really takes some major effort and strength to be Wiliam’s girlfriend. She deserves a chance.

    Gracie, in response to your post at #60, there is nothing wrong with Autumn being pregnant and I can’t wait for that announcement. I was simply asking if anyone else has heard or read anything about that as it has been mentioned at another, very reliable, very intelligent and mature site, that I WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT NAME. :-)

    There’s an article in Daily Mail about W and K

    “With his arm wrapped lovingly around her shoulders, Prince William and Kate Middleton looked every inch the young romantic couple….”

    I agree, Rman. I think it’s kind of annoying that people are picking apart small details about people’s posts and saying that they flat out despise someone. That’s not the case though. I don’t agree with what Strickly said, but I’m not going to bash him for it. There are shades of gray in people’s thoughts and opinions.

    Yes, I do realize that there are people who jump in and leave rediculous comments, but can’t we chalk that up to some fourteen-year-old that is jealous and move on? I only take into consideration the posts from people who have legitimate arguements. It’s really unnerving that some people will just jump into a fight as fast as they can.

    Anyways, the pictures are wonderful. I hope that they marry if that’s what they want. I just hope it’s relatively soon so there is no more speculation. After five to seven years this song and dance is getting boring. I hope it is true that Autumn is pregnant. (I know they would have gorgeous children!) Lastly, I hope Zara performed well at Badmiton.

    atx, the speculation on William and who he is with and will be will always be there. Once he engages, comes the baby stories, it will never stop – the facination.

    Zara left Badminton yesterday (saturday), regretfully she didn’t do well.

    Phobe,
    re: KMs smile

    I agree! She has the loveliest smile (her best feature, really) and it was just wonderful to see it again. They looked very much a couple. Great picture of her, and very good pictures of him.

    Rman,
    your optimism paid off! Cheers!

    You know looking at those pictures of Ms. Middleton and Prince William together, the first thought that came to my mind? Prince William wouldn’t be the first member of the British Royal Family to secretly marry.

    And heads begin exploding.

    and that’s one happy girl out with her guy. And he seems pretty pleased too. To the doubters, KM and PW are on. and I speak from long term relationship across several states they still love each other on.

    Oh they are on, for today, but give it time for the press to speculate, he will make her hid away again and see her sparingly, what is his game? She, I know is pure ambition but he? I just can’t figure it out but boy does he seem like a loser the way he treats women, ambitious or not.

    and everyone else who provided links today thank you so much!! I just got back from Hawaii today and when I arrived and clicked on the daily mail I was over joyed to see the pictures!!! Everyone else Steven has told us numerous times to ignore the negativity which comes from some individuals. That’s the long and the short of it everyone is entitled to an opinion and even if they are sometimes crazy let them get on with it. We can happily celebrate between ourselves!!! Can I hear a whoot whoot!! I am so happy!!!!!

    Fab photo of K and W with arms wrapped round each other. This will surely put the doubters to rest – though I somehow doubt it, there are so many negative thinking people about. We all know they are a loving couple and that they will be engaged before long.

    Negative thinkers? You mean the people that are willing to use fact to support their argument? One happy photo does not a happy relationship make look at harry and chels. No, you must take in the whole picture and that picture is rather tawdry and filled with disapointments for km, pw is one big diapointment, but km is just pure ambition purposefully blind to the way she is treated. People with real jobs enploy her tactics all the time to advance their careers. Who else would be with such a ditherer who has no idea of how to treat a woman, this picture proves that much. He is fickle and the wind will blow the other way again and I think, that while these two deserve each other for who they are, we the british public do not deserve them. With QE2 dies the monarchy. And no I don’t think he will ever marry her, if he is this unsure now, he shouldn’t and if he does he will most likely divorce her.

    Well most likely in the morning, we will see Hello! talking about it and more articals but it was just really good to see them. I know Sunday wasn’t the best day for the people who thought William & Kate was over but I really think we should all be happy for William and show some respect for his relationship with Kate. The most important thing here is that he is happy. I highly doubt he would be with her to this day if he wasn’t happy. I think he mother would want him to be happy too.

    In the Sun, it was said that William & Kate went to his apartment at St. James’s Palace, I didn’t know he moved there. I just thought he only had a office at St. James’s.
