OH……….MY…………GOD……….

well said GUEST. And what about princess margaret? She was kind of a blacksheep and the queen’s sister, she has young lovers (very young) and she tried many drugs in her villa. Kate didnt make a faux-pas!!! and what about carla bruni (all over the british press) she was not exactly a saint but the british tabloid just can not stop putting her on a “piedestal”! Kate I’m with you. I’m going to send an email of support to her on the Party pieces site. Who want to do the same as I?

While writing Party Pieces seems like a nice gesture, I would not. First, it is their business. They don’t need their email inbox clogged with personal notes. Second, we don’t KNOW these people. We are NOT their friends. They don’t need to hear from us. In fact, writing just extends the time they have to deal with this. They are private citizens, let them have their privacy.

wonder what the effect of this cause will bring, wonder what the queen and her family’s pr persons will do. what does the clouds and destiny wish who knows. anyway i do not think a marriage or anything to do with one was to come this year, so if she can ride the other dramas that have come her and william’s relationship way then she can ride this whatever this shall bring. safely being the one, that will get her wedding in the next few years, but not 2010, -11, or -12, to much happening for one to come. – so thats my simple thoughts. bye

on NOTW: nearl 47 comments pro-kate (or assimilated, not blaming kate ) and nearly 20 stupid ones. No need to worry. And I check all the french press on the web: none newspapers relate the story, the same for the italien press

A lot of people have embarrassing relatives. It’s not Kate’s fault. Nothing to do with her and the rest of her family. I’m very sorry for them.

I’ve just read the article and the comments to it and spotted several people who have been trashing Kate and her family on that nasty “The Royal Truth” forum.

One of them( named Qball) says she/he used to work for Kate’s uncle:

“By Qball. Posted July 19 2009 at 3:54 AM.

I used to work for Gary and he always was a brash fool.. This is a tame story for him, I feel sorry for Kate.”

Now I wonder how “The News of the world” found out about Kate’s uncle Gary’s lifestyle. And WHO “helped” them in it? and who paid them to “investigate” this story.

No doubts, Uncle Gary looks and sounds very unpleasant, but it’s not his family’s fault.

This whole thing will blow over and everyone will move on.

Many people on that forum can be very nasty and just loving that something like this is out. The problem is that many of them want William to date a woman that they think is right for him not what he thinks is right for him. It’s a big lack of respect for William and his private life. This is why William himself said that he don’t pay attention to the papers and what they think. What he do with his private life is his business. This is why I said that this whole thing with her uncle will not effect the couple and their plans. The police will handle the uncle.

I do hope this blows over, although I’m anxious how tomorrow’s UK papers will follow the story.

Don’t know if it’s genuine, but several talk backs in the original NOTW article claim they have worked for Gary Goldsmith, saying he’s a playful/fun-loving character with just a touch of brashness about him. Go take a look. They don’t make him sound like the criminal some haters are playing him out to be.

On another side note, someone twittered that he saw William & Kate @dinner last night (?… about 19 hours ago before this post). My guess is they had dinner after polo. He said they’re both “awesome.”

I hate to say this but in my own life may people see a family as a unit, not just a group of unrelated people, sadly sometimes what one family members does HAS implications for all the others. I have seen this everywhere all of the time.

However, I do not this will change the way Prince William feels about Kate.

I really believe if William wants Kate in his life, then she will be in his life NO MATTER what happens. I really don’t think this Uncle thing matters much to Prince William.

Why do we keep on discussing what happens on other sites here. Unless you post exact references it is hard to follow your point exactly.

Anyone who knows me knows I hate the whole pro-Kate and anti-Kate rivalry becasuse IMO all that matters is that Prince William is pro-Kate.

So from that perspective nothing anyone posts on any royal blog stating that they are for or against Kate really matters.

Well Clover what you said is true but sometimes you just get upset at what they say and you bite back. This kind of thing has gone on for a longtime but today it’s being done on internet forums.

Haven’t read the article, because just looking at the headline makes me feel . . . grimey, but did it say how he made his money? I understood that he was a building contractor. Or was that their father?

Well it’s really not a private matter, remember Mabel married a Prince of Orange and he had to give uo his place in line for the throne, because of a past association (not even related to her) with a drug dealer.

Clover,

One of those sites is called “Royal Truth”. Google it, and check out the William section. There is a sub-forum on Kate, and it is quite nasty. Most of the posts are quite mean to Kate, and unless you absolutely can’t stand her, you won’t enjoy the site. There’s another royal site that used to be pretty cruel to Kate too, but it seems the posts have calmed down. I think most of the posters moved over to RT.

I think once you see some of the posts, you’ll get an idea of why so many continue to bring up anti-Kate posters. Their dislike of her extends way beyond what is rational.

We just have to learn to ignore the nasty comments. These people don’t make or break Kate Middleton.

I’ll be glad once that announcement is made.

You’re welcome Clover. : )

You’re right Rman. It’s probably best to just ignore the nastier comments.

I wonder if the UK press will run the story in the morning? I haven’t see anything in the US press yet.

meg,
you could answer with a twit

The sky is falling — PW has dated a drug moll for 7 years and our government has done nothing. HAAAAHAAAHAAAAAA

Kate cannot be held accountable for what her uncle does. That is just rediculous. I am sure that everyone knows that we cannot take the blame for another’s actions, especially when that other person is an adult. There are people who dislike Kate immensely. These people will hang on each negative words, phrase, sentence…that is negative towards Kate. You know I am not even going to dicuss what they are doing. There are many people either here or other sights who strongly support her and William. I hope that they do know that there are many people pulling for them. I hope that they announce their engagemeent soon. Then she can start showing eveyone how committed she is to herself, family and the Royal Family. For those who continue to say there is not anyaffection when they are together. It is not pda-it is PDA. It is not public display of affection. It is Private displays of affection.

what I don’t understand is, just because the NOTW posted a video showing the uncle handling drugs, they automatically assume everything he say’s is true.

Just because the uncle claims William stayed with him he and Kate went to Ibiza, it doesn’t necessarily make it true. Britt, just because the uncle says William broke those pyramids, doesn’t make it true. This uncle is a braggart and what he say’s should be treated with a pinch of salt.

He’s one of those guys who drops names, and likes to make people think he has his hand of the pulse. He’s all ego, but in a friendly way.

I daresay the Spanish police will shortly be paying him a visit.

As for those other posters from the ‘Pampers’ site, ignore them. As I’ve said before they are still in teething mode, and unfortunately it may be they are also retarded. You would have to be to want to post there.

dagsi, that is very interesting. Maybe they did go to dinner after the polo match. I bet they are a really nice couple.

They probably not even paying any attention to this crap and just about their day normally. If the uncle is dealing drugs, then the police will handle that I think some press and even on the royal forums are probably blowing everything out of proportion. I don’t even think the guy lives in London but in the caribbean.

Hale,
Is the “pampers” site the Royal Truth?
By retarded do you mean not very bright?

Kat,
No one is blaming Kate for the uncle’s actions, but we have all been judged by the behavior of our family members, both good and bad behavior.

Just look at how people are introduced to one another – his father is a doctor, her grandmother is Queen of England, his mother has a Ph.D. in comparative literature from Harvard, her sister is in jail for trading arms with Iran, family members do matter where I come from.

If Kate’s Uncle is a drug dealer and pimp, then it is a disgrace and it would be much better for Kate if her uncle was known for his involvement in something related to a good humanitarian cause, for example.

However, I do not think this will make Prince William drop Kate. I think he wants to be with Kate and he will be with Kate NO MATTER WHAT.

It is still very bad that this happened with her Uncle, just dreadful to be honest, it would have been much, much better if it had not happened at all.

The really good news is that it will not end Kate’s relationship with Prince William, IMO.

Phoebe,
Why make excuses for Kate’s Uncle? When it is not okay to pimp women and deal drugs. Also, you can’t date someone like a future King of England and expect the same degree of privacy you and I enjoy — it is just not possible and Kate knows this very well.

I would notargue that this is unfair or entirely the fault of the tabloids or that others do it without consequences.

If Kate is going to be Queen she better get used to media scrutiny. Remember Lady Diana well Kate will have the same degree of attention from the press and would be completely delusional to expect anything less.

Phoebe,

Ooooo! Now do I?

LOVE IT!!!!!

Finally some sanity amoungs the maddness!

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/royals/2544128/Kate-Middleton-and-Prince-Williams-pub-car-park-kiss.html

The kink I provided will surely shove a sock in the mouths of the haters at TRT,LOL

Lisa, that is A TERRIFIC FIND!!! LOL

Thanks,Guest! I am still very loopey from the meds I am on and I got out of bed for the first time in three days an hour ago, I wanted to go back and hide under the covers after reading this story about uncle druggie, but then our friend at the SUN made it all better. I wonder who we should think, him or Miguel Head ?

I am laughing sooo hard right now. Priceless, simply priceless. Miguel Head is my heeeero!

Oh. My.

Yep, that is a couple that is on the verge of breaking up. Things are O-V-E-R with them. I mean how can he stay with a girl who touches him like that? It is so clear from the picture he is just using her until someone better comes along. And she is just hanging on to him to avoid getting a job.

LOL, wow. William & Kate is something else. I still say their privacy needs to be respected

Clover, Just getting back here-I did not mean that Kate was being blamed for her uncle. However, some people will use his actions to get at Kate. I guess I now have to reevaluate my PDA. I guess it will have to be the PPDA- the public private display of affection!!!! Great find Lisa.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

Well thank you Lisa and thank you Duncan.

“Rman,their privacy was respected…..back at his apartment!”

LOL, I guess that’s true.

Totally agree with this article.

WHOA!!! In the middle of the uncle frenzy, kaboom this kiss comes out! I love it!!!

Some people think this was staged to distract readers. While possible, I doubt that because this should have happened before the NOTW article broke out. Either way, W&K are determined to make a statement that they’re a couple. Great!

Gosh…

I am so glad that William is standing by his woman. I am glad that some newspapers are being persuaded to show their support as well. We should all go out and by copies of the Independent tomorrow. Furthermore, I believe Miguel Head has shown that he is worth his weight in gold and diamonds!

I am however uncomfortable with the PDA pictures. Perhaps my cynical side is suggesting the scene might be staged or strategically leaked, rather than the the result of a momentary lowering of guard (which was bound to happen eventually). I look at these pictures, and see an awkwardness about them; yet I know enough psychology to realize it is probably a projection of my own discomfort at comfronting my voyeurism.

I’m off to confession (again, I guess )

Hello.
I’m nearly sure I’ve said before, there is a striking discrepancy between how situations, occasions, etc. are reported in the press and how ‘things’ actually are (in real life). Most especially when it concerns the personal life of someone like Prince William.

First of all, many are still under the impression that Prince William and Miss Middleton are a romantic couple. Recent photos and the way they have been “sold” to the public, may appear to give that impression when in fact nothing could be further from the truth. That hasn’t been the situation for many, many months now (as I’ve said before). On the other hand, I realise it’s an understandable misconception as the separation hasn’t been “officially” announced (although there had been the intention for it to become publicly known quite a while back – that decision was put aside).

Secondly, The Daily Mail article is not accurate in it’s description of events. For example, quoting a phrase from the article : ” The prince was yesterday holed up at Highgrove, his father’s Gloucestershire estate with his girlfriend, his father and stepmother, the Duchess of Cornwall, where they discussed the scandal.”
That’s a complete fabrication. Miss Middleton was not at Highgrove with Prince William and his family to discuss anything. Contrary to the vague and absurd notion some “royal watchers” seem to have, Miss Middleton has never been made privy to the intimate conversations that take place within the family. Although it is true Prince William and Miss Middleton had dinner after the Polo match.

Of course I wouldn’t dream of asking that any one take only my word for it…

- Karagiosis

So, Rman, you suggesting that I include the Sun in my one-person campaign of consumer advocacy, and purchase a copy along with the Independent?

Karagiosis, it’s obvious that everything is fine with William & Kate and have been for a longtime so please don’t start. Be happy for the couple, don’t rain on their parade.

Correction:
Not Royal Forum, but Royal Truth, and the Varya poster appears to have the rank of “prince” (ha ha haaa) and be a moderator.

So unless he can update his signature collage in all past posts, these pictures are not new.

I think the independent article is excellent damage control and I am glad it is written. I’m sure there are some families with very few skeletons in their closet but most families have some. It’s very unfortunate that this story came out. I think the news of the world is a disgusting publication which purposely goes out to entrap people, Sophie, Guy Pelly and now Kate’s uncle. However let it not be said that I do not agree with Kate’s uncles actions at all, they are if true wrong but I just don’t agree with the press digging for dirt for digging for dirt sake. They are not printing the article to help anybody they are printing it to sell newspapers.

I love the pictures of PDA regardless of whether they were taken as a staged kiss for damage control or just caught of guard. Either way William is showing exactly how he feels.

‘an accident waiting to happen’

Just wondering how did it take so long to find this delicious Uncle Gary?

Lovely PDA/PR photos in the Sun!

Sojourner: if you update an avatar/collage likie this, all the past ones will be updated automaticlly so thiscollage is probably made yesterday.
Today I really love Kate and Will. They know what they are doing!!

Perplexed,
In all fairness, Mapleleaf did not invite, but rather wondered aloud rhetorically.

On the other hand, it is understandable that Karagiosis may have chosen to acknowledge the fact she was named.

Nothing untoward.

Oh maybe we should all join the “intelligent debate” over that the other site where they are literally accusing the Middleton family of using drug money to finance their lifestyl,e condemming people they don’t ever know nor will they ever know because they don’t like the girlfriend of someone they don’t know and will never know. How intelligent is that?

I don’t recall seeing anyone here supporting Uncle Gary other then to say they feel sorry for him. If he is,indeed a criminal, he will face the proper authorities and be tried by an impartial jury, not some internet lynch mob with an agenda.
