Strictly Dancing seeks Kate Middleton
The Daily Star reckons that the BBC is chasing Kate Middleton to appear in the next series of Strictly Dancing…
They are desperate to land Prince William’s girlfriend when the new series returns to our screens later this year.
A show insider said: “Kate is top of our list of dream signings this year. She’s the type of person we’d love to have.
She oozes sex appeal but is also a firm favourite with women who admire the way she has conducted her relationship with William.”
June 25th, 2009 04:39
Seems inevitable – just before a new series of Strictly Dancing out come the rumours!
Previously tipped to be appearing – William, Harry, Beatrice, Zara & Mike, Guy Pelly…
June 25th, 2009 04:42
KM would never participate in any of these shows. She is about to b royal and the royal family would b disappointed if she did something like that, plus people would accuse her of using her royal influences to be famous. She wont even say a word in front of the cameras, so how do these foolish people can ever think she would appear on a show? Stupid, seriously
June 25th, 2009 04:46
If KM turns them down,maybe they can ask HM,I hear she cuts quite a rug!
June 25th, 2009 06:54
I suppose she would appear on the show … when hell freezes over

Guest, I do not like being called a liar as I have been posting on this site for a while now and I would hope that other posters would attest that when I write something, I do not LIE! A liar purposely makes up stories w/the intention to cause harm. I don’t do that. I have no problem admiting if I presumed something and it turns out to be wrong. I have seen that picture and I know the difference between Kate bathing suit and Pippa’s as well as the difference between their boyfriends. I am not ignorant. William was pic playfully trying to pull her top, Kate did not rip it off like a strip tease as I have never said that. Nothing was shown, no harm done and I can’t control why the pic can’t be found. Perhaps CH did not like William being seen in that manner considering he was in the accompany of Kate’s family while doing so. There are alot of pictures that were once visable and are not anymore w/in the RF. One would be hard pressed to find anything derogatory that Sophie was pictured doing or Fergie for that matter moreless Margaret. Kate in no way exposed herself.
June 25th, 2009 11:53
I have never seen the picture but if the picture is true then there is no harm in that. They are boyfriend & girlfriend, they can play like that.
Strictly Dancing has been trying to get a royal on that show for a long time now. They failed to get the Duchess of York and Zara to participate so I highly doubt that they will get Kate.

I did make a comment on the other thread That I was pretty sure that I had seen that picture. In fact I did see that picture the day before. When I went back to look for it however I couldn’t find it. I didn’t have time to look through and see who had made the comment about the bathing suit. But I definitely did leave a comment saying that I had seen the picture. It wasn’t on Team High Grove that I saw the picture it was just searching the internet I think on the exposay website maybe. The comment was a bit harsh left by guest. I’ve made mistakes before as per Chelsy dress color but when I do I apologize and move on.
I’ll keep looking for that photograph and if I find it I’ll post it.
June 25th, 2009 14:42
gracie, you are no liar and I’m sorry if you have been offended.
I have been looking for the pic, and I wondered if you have the holiday right? Is it Ibiza.
Meanwhile, jj, I’ve just looked on the exposay site but couldn’t find it. Although I had problems enlarging the pics. They are so tiny.
June 25th, 2009 14:56
Hi Hale yes not sure where I found it. I need to go back through all of the websites I visited. Maybe it’s in my cache of photographs on my computer.
On another note I recently saw this
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5iYdzdR_-LLfBXwv-YqkQtA6PIj7A
Not sure if it has been posted already, but does this look like CH or SJP are packaging the brothers together as a pair instead of PW and KM together as a pair??? Will PW and KM have their own office if they marry or? I’m sure this has been discussed before but just wanted to ask again.
June 25th, 2009 16:01
Here is some pictures of William & Kate that was taken on the 10th of May at the charity polo match. I don’t think we have seen these pictures.

JJ, it’s most likely that Kate’s official office will be at SJP with William & Harry but for now the official office attention is on the two princes. It’s going to be that way until they get married and Kate starts to do her share of royal duties.

Great pics Rman. Those were taken at very close range or with a very long lense camera.
June 25th, 2009 18:46
I just want to mention how sad I am to hear that Michael Jackson died today and we also lost actress Farrah Fawcett. Life is so short.
You guys are welcome, I was glad that those pictures was taken.
June 25th, 2009 18:50
Yeah, Rman, great find, wonderful pics. It’s good to see KM looking so beautiful.
June 25th, 2009 19:57
Gracie, I really was not addressing you in the previous thread. You are not a troll. You come here and post often. If you remember William trying to pull her top down, then you do. I don’t. I saw all of the Ibiza photos and I distinctly remember horseplay at the back of the boat between William & Kate when he was holding her from behind slightly lifting her up. In no way was he attempting to playfully, lightheartedly embarrass his girlfriend in that manner in front of her parents, siblings, God and everybody else who feeds off of the paparazzi.
In any event, just know that my previous post with pictures was in no way shape or form addressed towards you, rather it was addressed to those who hide behind assumed nics and come here attempting to spread lies and internet rumors. I encourage those people, and they know who they are, to wear the shoe that fits very nicely.
June 25th, 2009 19:58
Michael Jackson is dead of cardiac arrest today. I’m going now to watch the coverage.

You go Maddie @19! That’s it!
June 25th, 2009 20:32
All I can say that while the couple was in view of the public, he have always acted like a true gentlemen towards Kate and if they like to play around, that’s fine because that’s what people in love do. I have never seen a picture like that so that’s all I can say about it.
Guest, I am watching the coverage about Michael and I’m still in shock that this has happened and the last time I was this shocked about a famous person’s death, was when Diana died.
June 25th, 2009 21:22
I’m really shocked and saddened by the death of Michael Jackson. He was iconic, this is on a level with the deaths of Elvis Presley and John Lennon.
John Lennon literally died the day I was born, and I have always been aware of feeling a personal connection because of that.
But Michael Jackson’s death is the first loss of a true icon that I’ve experienced first hand, and it’s a pretty big deal. Mr. Jackson was truly a great artist.
June 25th, 2009 21:37
I love Michael Jackson’s music. My favorite song is PYT (pretty young thing) and Billie Jean. He was a terrific and original dancer as well. The outpour of people for him is reminiscent of what people did for Diana. I remember the shock of the death of Diana. I can still recall what I was doing when the news broke here in the States.
June 25th, 2009 21:48
Um that’s not the one which I saw maddie but I’m sure it’s somewhere. Rman I am still shocked about Michael Jackson. So many of these stars have so many problems. I’m dreading to hear if this was another death which could have been prevented like Heath Ledger and Anna Nicole Smith. We will see..
June 25th, 2009 21:58
R.I.P. Michael Jackson.
June 25th, 2009 21:59
Sorry….
Sad….
June 25th, 2009 22:12
I always knew his death would be a big deal but I had no idea that it would come so soon. I know everyone was looking forward to the big concert tour that would have kicked off next month and I was looking forward to him performing here in America but now none of that is going to happen. But even though I’m sad that’s he is gone, I think this is the time to celebrate his life and music. I see hundreds of people are now crowding infront of the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, just dancing, singing, crying and just remembering Michael.
June 25th, 2009 22:19
JJ I know, I hope that’s not the case.
June 25th, 2009 22:23

June 26th, 2009 00:02
Rman, thanks for those pics in your post 11.
Kate looks very beautiful, but she has sad, almost tearful eyes and she looks fragile to me.
Michael Jackson – King of Pop – is dead, but His music will live forever…
June 26th, 2009 10:01
I remember as a kid when “Thriller” came out and MTV was just about videos then. They hyped that video up and me and my friends where so exicited to watch the video! He had alot of demons, but no one can say he didn’t have talent. Farrah, those teeth and hair poster girl for many a boy!
June 26th, 2009 10:08
Guest, I appreciate that. I should not have brought up the photo w/o proof. I have seen the photo and it was from that trip but I believe I saw it on a documentary about Kate and William and they showed various covers of mags. It not that big of a deal as they were very touchy-feely on that trip, but that’s how we behave when we are in love! By no means did Kate ever, ever expose herself just so I make that point clear. I wish we would see more pics of them being so affectionate.
June 26th, 2009 11:27
I know everyone is thinking about the tremendous loss of Michael Jackson, but if anyone would like to see them, I put some photos of William and Kate into 2 slideshows that everyone can look at. I put them into slideshows because it’s easier than pasting the photo links.

Yes, thank you Bluefire. This story seems like a blast from the past. I was quite young when all this news first came out, and my family (parents, uncles, grandparents, you name it) had huge, heated debates over it. It will be very interesting to see what new information the manuscript reveals. A very long, but very interesting, piece in the NYTimes many years back gives you a sense of why the feelings ran so high.

Who in their right mind would actually believe this nonsense about KM going on some reality show? KM has way more class than that, and even if she didn’t, PW wouldn’t date someone who was so obviously out for attention. Sometimes I wonder if the press thinks royal watchers are idiots.

Yeah there is a young theatre actress by the name of Kate Middleton. There is more than one Kate Middleton in the world. That’s who they are talking about in that link, the actress.

When in August is the banker’s holiday. I’ve researched it and in the UK is one date, I think August 31. The other date mentioned is at the beginning of the month. Does anyone know the date Kate is supposed to go to Balmoral. Just curious.
June 28th, 2009 16:44
Kat
I would assume it is the last weekend in August? That is when there is a bank holiday I think. I think it’s interesting to note that Ella reminded me that that is also when the prime minister usually goes to visit the Queen on her annual retreat. Were things to be heading in the engagement direction it would need the prime ministers acceptance. No sure things but interesting timing IF the story is true.
June 28th, 2009 18:05
England bank holiday is the last monday of August.
Scotland bank holiday is the first monday of August.
Very tricky the Balmoral holiday. Nevertheless, Balmoral is in Scotland, Wills actual station course training is in Scotland, but Kate is in England.

This german site is saying that William & Kate has set their wedding date for July 1st 2010.
They said that they got the information from an American source. I think Globe Magazine.
http://www.berlinonline.de/berliner-kurier/print/nachrichten/268079.html
I highly doubt it would be on that day. Slow news I guess.
June 29th, 2009 12:04
There’s another article about the wedding in 2010 in the Globe mag ( an on-line version is very short, without details):
http://www.globemagazine.com/story/360
June 29th, 2009 16:09
I bought a copy of the Globe. It stated that the Tatler has leaked some details. Prince Harry will be William’s best man. By the way, I give all the credit for these words to the Globe. Chief page will be Viscount Althorp. Pippa will be chief Bridesmaid. The date is July 1, 2010 in St, Paul’s Cathedral. Jenny Packham or Christian Lacroix will design Kate’’s dress.
June 29th, 2009 16:24
Although I hope it’s all true, one wonders why an American scandal-sheet whose cover story is about Michelle Obama’s hit list, would have any access to this information.
Oh, and BTW, if it can’t be John Galliano, I hope it’s Christian Lacroix, but hasn’t he gone out of business?
June 29th, 2009 16:24
I thought the wedding gown was designed a longtime ago. Isn’t she the one you’ve been saying she’s getting married this summer?
June 29th, 2009 16:55
I was surfin’ around and came across this old article. It’s about Arthur Edwards, the legendary royal photographer.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

June 29th, 2009 16:57
I think if I am not mistaken that most people would agree that Prince William will pop the question, marry in his own time. Some of us want the union to be between William and Kate. I believe that they are in love and will get married. That is just my opinion. I don’t think that the slip of the BBC and Kate’s visit to Balmoral are for nothing. The way that they really looked at each other at the Polo game reinforced my thoughts that they are firmly together and in love.
June 29th, 2009 18:05
Hale, thank you for putting that link up, I’m glad Mr. Edwards stood up for Kate and I’m also glad that she’s no longer in those dangerous situations. It’s very hard for people to understand that’s the reason why she left Jigsaw, the whole thing became too much and it was dangerous for her to go to work. But I now understand why there is so much confusion on why she left, the media didn’t focus on the real reason but they threw an engagement story out there and made people think that’s the reason why she left Jigsaw. When no engagement came, the public became confused and began to think Kate put her life on hold for William, and that’s one of the reasons why people started to turn on her. The real reason was starring everyone in the face but some people payed no attention to it. I’m glad Kate now works in peace and she is safe.
June 29th, 2009 18:07
I really do think next year they will get married.
June 29th, 2009 19:03
hello all,
I got out of the house for the first time in a few days today after dealing with some medical issues and I actually picked up the Globe mag(no,I did not buy it,lol) and flipped through it in line at the market. I highly suggest everyone check it out as it is soooo funny. They have a picture of William all decked out for Trooping and next to him is a manufactured pic of Kate as a bride,LMAO, tiara and all. “All the glittering details” Total BS,but a great giggle.
June 29th, 2009 19:21
I don’t buy it either Lisa, I highly doubt it will be on July 1st but I do think the wedding will take place next year.
June 29th, 2009 19:28
Rman,you may be right but I am still unsure. I am fearful that because either William or Kate are keen to the hoopla and the responsibility that will come with their marriage,they may wait until 9 month before the next gen of Windsors is due to make it’s debut…The one thing is good is that Mr Head seems to have their PR is check right now and for that I commend him greatly!
June 29th, 2009 20:13
Well I don’t want to put the cart before the horse but I’m not sure they will have a baby right away. They may take some time to themseleves before they do that. I think William is ready for the responsiblities of a future king, but as Judy Wade pointed out in her Hello artical, as a married couple they will focus on his training and after he finishes then they will become full-time royals so they won’t be doing that much before that time. The engagements will increase but the focus will still be on William’s training. I just hope next year all of this will come to a full circle.
June 29th, 2009 20:16
I agree, the team seem to be doing a good job and everything seem to be running smoothly.
June 29th, 2009 21:52
I think Kate would like to go out, meet, be friends with Rman.
My fingers crossed, next year the engagement, wedding.
June 30th, 2009 03:07
I read an arcticle in one of those tabloid arcticles ages ago that William plans on proposing on 1st july to show how much he thinks his mother would have approved as its Diana’s birthday. Diana would IMO have wanted him to marry a normal girl and thats what the arcticle is saying. i dunno if its true, highly unlikely because that’d make the prpopsal tomorrow but here’s hoping!!!!!

June 30th, 2009 05:50
No offence, but how exactly is Kate ‘normal’? You surely must be kidding? She went to hideously expensive private schools her whole life, mingling with the rich and/or titled; she’s never had to work a day of it, and actually hadn’t for years (the jury is still out whether she works now); she’s had a very easy existence attributable to excessive financial comfort, above and beyond what is necessary; she’s 27 and still lives at home, sleeping in her childhood bedroom; has always been dependent upon her parents for everything – has nary achieved anything in her own right – and her two siblings have enjoyed same, whilst her family are millionaires. Sorry, but that is so far removed from ‘normal’ it isn’t funny. If you disagree, what do you consider ordinary folk who must work for a living? Destitute? No-hopers? I’m sorry, but I just take umbrage – and offence actually – to such a misnomer applied to Kate Middleton: Kate is not a ‘normal’ girl in terms of having to work for a living. The kind of lifestyle she leads is usually reserved for the upper class, just like Diana. Diana knew she wasn’t ‘normal’ by birth – an aristocrat – so I doubt she’d consider Kate ‘normal’, regardless of her status being accorded by coddling, assocation, connection or whatever. It is what it is. A ‘normal’ girl would have been working for a living after university and earning her own way, forging a career or working pattern – and most assuredly, she would be living independently from her parents and not have her entire lifestyle funded by them.
June 30th, 2009 06:05
Good (and brave in this site) post, objective.
It bothers me too that Kate still lives with her parents and doesn’t – as an educated woman – work.
June 30th, 2009 06:06
And, if Kate is to earn the respect of her future subjects, then it is pointless for the media to insult their intelligence by presenting Kate as ‘normal’. The only thing I personally dislike about Kate is her lack of work ethic – it’s palpable – and I think the one reason why William won’t seal the deal. How can the average ‘normal’ 27 year old girl relate to Kate Middlelton – long-term girlfriend of HRH aside? Kate’s lack of work history could be the end of any respect the British monarchy has. And don’t think HM doesn’t know it. I doubt Kate would be welcomed warmly in Oz – we don’t like laziness, or perceived laziness much. But there is still hope for her.
June 30th, 2009 06:24
Not to re open this already exhausted subject but in all fairness to Kate, she exited university already established as William’s longtime girlfriend with engagement rumors swirling before the ink on the diploma even dried. As far as her work ethic goes,we really don’t know what it is,nor do we really know if she sleeps in her childhood room at night. In fact,since sometime last fall, we really know little of what Kate is doing as she is only photographed when she is with HRH. Until Kate officially has a ring on her finger, she owes little to nothing to her “future subjects” as they are not yet her future subjects.
June 30th, 2009 07:20
I would like to remind Lisa and Objective of the time when KM was working in the City and was beseiged by the Paps, working was impossible as the Paps constantly approached her work colleagues for details of conversations.
I would also remind them that KM does infact have a flat in London which she shared with sister PM. They both stay there regularly. It really bothers me that people feel free to be so negative when they actually know nothing about the girl.
The engagement announcement cannot come quickly enough to get these negative thinking people off this site.
June 30th, 2009 07:31
Redlady,forgive me but you must have misunderstood my post. I was in no way being negative regarding KM.
June 30th, 2009 07:59
Objective, methinks you are using somebody else’s username.
Furthermore, Kate has a job. She is working at party pieces. If Kate was not working there, then the press would have made a huge deal about it, irregardless of any press agreement.
The fact is, the only people who care about the ‘job’ situation in as far as Kate is concerned are those who post on ‘Pampers’, they get so bored with slapping each other on the back that occasionally they meander over her to break their boredom. The jury is not out on the work ethic. Except to, as I say those who are still gnawing on there teething rings oven on that other site.
As to the job situation, as a Briton I tell you this. I couldn’t give a tosh if Kate did nothing but top up her spray tan and filed her nails everyday. Providing Kate is not claiming Social Security, its fine by me.
Therefore, I can honestly say, we Britons do not care about the boring debate of Kate’s working ethics, and neither do the press. Unless of course it’s a slow news week, and circulation figures are down for the week.
As for Kate not being normal. Duh!!!
To me Kate is normal. Kate is normal because, as a person born into a family which is bracketed as high earning, it follows therefore that her family would send her to private schools. It is normal and likely that Kate will socialise with those people who are also from high earning families. It is also normal that Kate will be influenced, acquire and develop tastes which come from a background of high earners.
In other words, in terms of Kates social sphere she is like any other normal person.
However, I do have a problem with the usage of the word ‘normal’. If you are decrying the rich and poor status which exists in the world, wouldn’t a word such as ‘injustice’ be a better one?
The other problem I have is what gives you the right or anyones else to define what is normal and not normal?
June 30th, 2009 08:19
“but that is so far removed from ‘normal’ it isn’t funny”
But that’s so far removed from “objective” it isn’t funny.
June 30th, 2009 08:25
The great thing about history is that it happens around us and the course of it can rarely be changed with one’s opinion. Whether that announcement comes and when it comes is anybody’s guess. The one thing I can guarantee is that the announcement of the marriage of William and Kate(or William and whoever for that matter) will not change the negative opinions or stop people who own them from posting them here and elsewhere.The subject matter will simply alter so we should accept it and know that when it gets too ugly,Steven will step in and toss the ones out that cannot play nice.
June 30th, 2009 08:50
Guys and Gals,
we are discussing an article that claims to know the number of children they will have?!!!
I am reminded of a Bruce Coburn song that goes “The trouble with normal is that it always gets worse…” Normal — as most everything else in the world except Godiva Chocolates — is in the eye of the beholder. (Among statisticians, it is also referred to as “how you pick your sample.”)
June 30th, 2009 08:52
I think normal was used in describing Kate as not titled. He is marrying a commoner rather than a princess or even a lady. Because she is a commoner, she has different life experiences than someone born into royalty or even a peer of the realm. For one thing, her family could vote.
Some people will claim Kate is not working unless she is already acting like a Princess. Which as pointed out, she is not. She is still a private person and as such is entitled to her privacy about her life choices.
June 30th, 2009 08:58
Morning folks,
Lisa you are right, people will still talk but I’m glad the couple is still doing well and getting on with things.
June 30th, 2009 12:36
Hale
I’m with you on that one. I have always stated that as long as she isn’t claming social security I couldn’t give a monkeys what she is doing with her time becuase it’s none of my business.
I’ve always found it amusing that some indivdiuals are quick to judge KM and say she isn’t posh enough, pretty enough, titled enough, rich enough she dresses too racy, too boring/she shows her crotch (funny enough if a photographer pointed the camera at her head and not her crotch we wouldn’t see her crotch) and the other, she drinks too much and I would never drink like that, she parties too much and I would never do that/I would have told my daugher to get rid of him etc etc.
The funny thing about judgmental people like that is I wonder what they get up to in their own lives. Time and time again both in you see politicians/preachers etc standing up preaching about moral values/religious values etc etc and then the next thing you know they are on the news for some scandal or another with women, money emails etc. Let he who cast the first stone and all that.
I really do wonder how much better some girls would have coped in Kate’s position. She has put up with a lot and managed to hold her head high, regardless of the outcome of her situation with William I will continue to watch her and be an avid supporter.

In real life a paid work and earning your own living gives you RESPECT. You can’t deny that, Hale and jj. Take Emma Pernald for example, she has been dating with his prince Carl philip for ten years and she works in advertising agency as project leader.

butterfly,
Kate works at her family business, Party Pieces. It really is time for people to stop giving her grief over that now. She works, so what more do you want from her?
This girl now works in a peaceful enviornment, the paps is not following her on a regular bases and the whole situation isn’t dangerous anymore. She’s living her life in a peaceful way and no one should have a problem with that.
June 30th, 2009 13:35
jj, I agree with you 100%. Kate is in a no win situation, and what is worse is she is and her family are having to shoulder it all.
I can only imagine what Ma Midds feels to read and hear her daughter denigrated in the manner she is.
There are no courtiers or PR people stepping up to the plate or letting their feelings known through ’sources.’
As for the ‘job’ thing. Have people not seen the footage I have seen, of Kate being harassed and virtually assaulted when she was at Jigsaw. I couldn’t cope with that, I wonder how many posters could. They even tried to photograph her whilst she was driving her car. Have these paps not learned anything? Do they not realise what could happen if she lost her concentration.
I posted this old article yesterday, and I am posting again.
http://tinyurl.com/6jkwmr
It’s about Arthur Edwards, the royal photographer. In this article he say’s:
”Edwards believes that Middleton is at risk from a new breed of photographer that he does not recognise from his years in the royal pack. “I see squads of people chasing and I don’t know who they are. I see different names of different agencies every day and they’re all looking for the big bucks picture. I can understand that they read stories of paparazzi pictures making lots of money and they’re chasing the golden dream but at what expense? This girl is a private citizen.”
That is why I maintain that Kate is better off working for her parents. I hope she enjoys the private time she has left, because when she marries William the gloves come off.
butterfly, I respect your opinions. But you should be aware, Sweden do not have the kind of gossip rags and paps we do in Britain, or as some have in the US, Australia etc…

jj,
I will too watch Kate in the days and years to come. Right now, I do think about how William and Kate have to deal with the rest of the world. How would they react since plastered all over the papers was the prediction and details of a marriage proposal. They must have something special to remain together after all the predictions, ugly press, and thousand of will they won’t they? They have had many years of it. I would think that they would do the opposite of some of these papers. They however have the love and support of each other to get them through these times. Things will happen in their own time and their own place. I am keeping my fingers crossed for them.
June 30th, 2009 14:37
Objective…is that really you?! You’ve sure changed your tune about Kate. In fact I think your probably an anti-Kate setting out to cause trouble under another persons username! Another low has been reached
June 30th, 2009 14:45
I couldn’t stop laughing when I read the article in the Globe and saw a photoshoped picture of Kate and Wills.It’s so funny!
I don’t believe they know all those details mentioned in the article. They just guess, like many of us.
I couldn’t scan it,the format of the mag is wider than my scanner. But I took some pictures of the article:

Hale, jj – excellent posts. I agree completely with your summarizations. The paparazzis will continue to be a threat to Kate. However, Kate how shown how loyal and steadfast she is by just taking it all in her stride. I also believe that she is a very sensible, humble and frugal person judging by where she shops and how she flies (Topshop) and economy class.
June 30th, 2009 15:05
Well I really try to respect everyone’s opinions but I know there are many young and old women out there that are angry because Kate stool the heart of the prince they once dreamed about and hoped that he would their boyfriend. Now there’s nothing wrong with that, when I was a kid I had a dream that I married Halle Berry but that was just a dream. I’m in no way jealous of her baby’s daddy, I’m happy for her and always wish her the best. I think people should wish William the best but I’ve learned to accept that people will always have mix feelings about his girlfriend/wife. That’s just way it is.
June 30th, 2009 15:24
Thanks for that scan Mathilde.
June 30th, 2009 16:03
objective and butterfly should hold hands and hold their breath until someone on this ‘respectable, non-hating, opinions welcome site really cares what they think. I am thinking they will pass out. please move on to a site that welcomes ‘kate hate’. this is not the site for you. i do believe we should not even respond to these TROLLS. everyone have a great day.
June 30th, 2009 16:25
You are welcome, Rman.

Mathilde
Those scans are hilariouis!!! Some of the things magazines will print!
You know Ginger I’m not going to fight with anyone. I live in America and was born in London and I relish the fact that I live a democratic country and having the ability to choose what to do with my life and that others have the same choice. Whether that is to work or not to work. Being a lawyer, doctor, engineer or scientist is not for everybody otherwise we would be clones. Some people choose charities/volunteer work or to be a house wife. Some choose to work for their families which is a smart idea because you are protecting any future inheritance you may reap as well as helping out your family. Donald Trumps children do it so does Richard Branson’s daughter. Just because it’s not a huge empire shouldn’t take away the value from of what you are doing.
Earning a living does not automatically give any one respect all it gives you is money…..
June 30th, 2009 16:40
ginger, I think those trolls, I would call them “Bingley sisters”, who post nasty comments about Kate and her family everywhere(royal forums, blogs, newspapers) just
don’t have much else to do except to spend long hours in “TRTrash” forum trashing someone they don’t even know and will probably never meet.
They just should get a life – theirs not Kate’s.
June 30th, 2009 19:18
You guys are being judgmental of the anti-Kate people which makes you just as judgmental, the only difference being the target of your personal judgements.
June 30th, 2009 20:01
Clover, I know what you mean but sometimes you just get tierd of the crap. I just wish we could move on from this stage and go on to bigger and better things.
June 30th, 2009 20:23
Well, Clover, the “Kate-Haters” started it!!!
June 30th, 2009 20:52
I don’t post often but read daily. IMO the haters come here, trash KM and then laugh when posters jump to her defense I think the best way to deal with them is to not read or respond They are attention seekers need to be ignored….JMO
** BRW – Exactly right. They’re looking for a reaction. Remember kids – ignore the trolls

June 30th, 2009 22:20
Rman,
I know it is annoying but there are bigger and better things to discuss, that was my point.
Sojourner,
Did you ever hear the expression, “Turn the other cheek.” You DO NOT have to respond to anything they write.
MJ,
Exactly!
June 30th, 2009 22:41
Clover: thank you. You are very dignified, as I had noticed before. Such class doesn’t go unnoticed.
Hale: no, it’s me. I guess I’m not popular now because I don’t share your view. Too bad – that kind of support I can do without. You don’t get it either: Kate is vying for a “top job” – she has to convince people first. Yes, that’s right – if she doesn’t convince people that she’s worthy, she won’t get the top job. Life isn’t about fairytales – and William knows it.And to drag posters down on another forum to make yourself feel better is really undignified.I expected more from you.
To others who can’t tolerate dissenting views: how sad and ignorant. Life must be difficult for you.
Personally, I have no vested interest – though others on here clearly do – but I thought this was a discussion forum. Hmmm…clearly I was wrong. This forum is no better than the one that denegrates Kate – it’s just the reciprocal.
June 30th, 2009 22:46
Oh, and Roman: jealous of Kate?! Please, young man, I’m a bit old and settled for that … and I have no romantic interest in ANY royals, let me assure you. That line is very old too and shows a lack of insight and critical thinking.
June 30th, 2009 22:48
Hi Britt: well, Kate has turned out to be a disappointment – she may surprise me. Take care.
Don’t you like a little debate? 
June 30th, 2009 22:52
And … it is a laugh when people try to defend Kate’s non-existent work ethic. LOLOL. I wouldn’t be in Kate’s shoes for quids – it will be hard for her to move on. PS I don’t seek attention from people who are so ignorant as to not respect the opinions of others.
June 30th, 2009 23:22
Well its another Objective. Welcome to the BRW. The other username Objective definitely has a different way of writing and speech.
So, Balmoral is coming soon. And you all have a nice summer.
June 30th, 2009 23:24
I really really wish I could understand what drives all this negativity? If you hate Kate,why not go post happily about someone you like? It is so much more fulfilling the traveling forums,changing names and spreading venom about a stranger that at the end of the day no ones opinion really matters. Not yours or mine. Only the actual parties involved. If this is the woman William chooses for his wife, no amount of posts,prayer chains, tarot cards or rain dances will change it. If she is not the one,there is nothing any of us who support the pairing can do about that either. It is what it is. Opinions are opinions but in reality they are basically irrelevant to the outcome of most situations. Why waste time trying to rile others up and lessen the enjoyment some people find in following this couple? I truly don’t get it. Life is too short for such nonsense.
June 30th, 2009 23:34
It looks like a groupy thing of the lazy work ethic crotch shot story. I believe the group is trying to send – deliver a message, like a virus, I got one via PM. Maybe they want the press “attention” to get them write nasty things about Kate and her family.
Sounds as bad as a conspiracy theory.
The thing is William and Kate (specially) have passed with flying colours their relationship. She has dodged the bullets brilliantly, she’ll survive.
June 30th, 2009 23:39
Hello,
MJ like you I now only post occasionally but read read consistently.
The site is called BRW and so most posters use it to discuss or anticipate the the proposed date of a particular wedding. Any reason to project a new date, a birthday, an anniversarry and sometimes even the conflicting paths of certain planets can suddenly lead to a new date and all in a well meaning and (in the past) a pleasant conversational manner.
Unfortunately at some stage the site attracted attention because of the quality of many posts and as you so correctly point out ‘haters’ join in ,many to surreptitiously spew a certain amout of hatred for their own perverted satisfaction very much to the detriment of the site. Again unfortunately they also spitefully turn their spleen on established posters who recognise them for what they are and so the site deteriorates into several slanging matches.
There are now a few of these who have ingratiated themselves with some of the decent established posters and by using what can only be described as ‘professional’ tricks to enhance photographs and information from other sources, have at times taken over the site.
Yes as you say they come to annoy and spread their own nasty thoughts and unfortunately many posters side with them and allow them to become very influential on the site.
June 30th, 2009 23:47
Hi Ked, nice to see you post once in a while. And very true the above. I can’t get all boiled up. I like to post here and will continue. I like the UK monarchy.
Keep cool.
July 1st, 2009 04:05
Ked,
I like you so this is not meant as an attack I just want to make a point. All of you will be disappointed always in life if you think it is “perverted” to dislike someone.
In reality, we are all liked and disliked no matter who we are or where we go, it is the norm. It is ordinary for each person to be both liked and disliked — and all of you are saying you like Kate Middleton precisely because she is normal. So why then have problems when she is handled just like you and me? You and I are both liked and disliked in our ordinary lives are we not?

Hi Clover,
It’s not perverted to dislike someone, but for some people to go out of their way and to write nasty things on websites and youtube and facebook and twitter, etc about someone they don’t actually know, – well that’s starting to get a bit perverted in my book…
Oh look! It’s time to discuss something else…
