Kate Middleton to be invited for Xmas Day lunch – Mirror
The Queen is planning to break with royal tradition to invite Kate Middleton to Sandringham for Christmas Day. It is the first time an unmarried partner of a royal has received such an invitation – and fuels speculation that Kate, 27, is about to get engaged to boyfriend Prince William, also 27…
Royal wedding of the year? Not likely – Daily Mail
It had promised to be the royal wedding of the year. But most of the Royal Family have snubbed the lavish nuptials of Lord Freddie Windsor and Sophie Winkleman at Hampton Court on Saturday. Despite the best efforts of Princess Michael of Kent, hardly any high-profile royals are likely to turn up…
Royal family turns out at Braemar Gathering – Telegraph
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were joined by the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal at the Braemar Gathering, the most high-profile of Scotland’s Highland Games. The royal party arrived at the Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park in a maroon Rolls-Royce at 3pm on Saturday…
So, Princess Eugenie, feeling Jaded? – Daily Mail
Given Jade Jagger’s reputation for hard partying, it is hard to imagine that Princess Eugenie’s parents will approve of their daughter going clubbing with her on the hedonistic island of Ibiza last week. Eugenie was out having fun with 37-year-old Jade at the Boujis Ibiza club night at El Chiringuito…

This is a very interesting artical on Kate & Zara.
http://www.morungexpress.com/entertainment/32774.html
Tell me what you all think of this.
Hi Rman
Just seem like a re-hash of everything which we have been talking about lately. As far as I was aware Mike and Zara weren’t going to marry until after 2012. But even if that were not the case Kate and William are rumored not to be marrying until 2011 which would leave 2010 clear if Zara and Mike wanted to get married quickly. So the article doesn’t make any sense. The press I think making things us as they have nothing else to write about.
Hi JJ,
All I can say is that we just have to wait and see what 2010 will bring us. I know many people are throwing a 2010 wedding in the garbage because of the upcoming election but only God knows what’s going to happen. I’m remaining positive despite the obsticals.
The press have published that Kate got an invite and will be spending Christmas with the Queen and Prince William for several years now and it hasn’t happened yet.I highly doubt it will this year either.It will stun me if it happens this year.
and your username is due to
Redlady, what does Michael Middleton do? Do you see him around the village? Does he work for PP? He seems to be quiet as a mouse.
I thought KM had already been invited on other past christmas to for the Xmas dinner. Why is this article say it is the first time?
They always say the same thing whenever Xmas is approaching, probably KM hasnt even been invited and the media is just allucinating things.
me,my daughter picked it out when my mother passed away.we were starting my account and I couldn’t think of a user-name that wasn’t already in use.
Jayhawk @ 6 I think (not verified) that Michael Middleton is into the investments and properties in Leeds. I don’t think the DM disclosed the entire information of his background in that famous Carole Middleton – Mining daughter article. By chance I had a glimpse to my above first sentence, leave it there, but I do not think Party Pieces is the only family income.
Just like they didn’t disclose in that article that Carole Middleton has a Millionaire brother called Gary Goldsmith.
Sorry to hear that Sadmama and welcome to the BRF.
Jayhawk, I have seen yours post at the other site. why are you trying to dig up stuff on Michael Middleton? Just curious.
So this is why we didn’t see Camilla at the Highland Games with Charles, she was helping her son launch his new book.
http://tinyurl.com/o6k3oa
And her daughter is about to give birth, twins. Tom will be launching – signing book this coming Saturday, September 12, so I highly doubt he will be at F&S wedding.

Chelsy partying at Bungalow 8-
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1212435/Chelsy-Davy-joins-party-girls-Bungalow-8.html
I thought she “hates” the attention and just wants to be left alone – yeah right! She’s openly asking to be paparazzied by attending the clubs she does. I think she secretly enjoys it.
Lisa, most people who post on this site seem to be curious about a lot of matters pertaining to KM, her family, the RF, and have varying opinions. I’m not sure what is so strange about that. Isn’t that what a forum is for? Redlady has readily volunteered that she lives near KM and her family, and has mentioned seeing them, knowing people who work with them, ect.
Jayhawk, I was curious because reading your posts at the other site, it seemed clear that you do not support KM and in fact do not have a nice word to say about her and lately there appears to be alot of curiousity within the group online that I will call “haters’ for a lack of better word, regarding the status of Mr Middleton. I thought Redlady should know that before answering your questions. All opinions are welcome here but lets be fair and put our cards on the table first.
I am personally beyond tired of reading all these unfounded attack on KM and her family and there quite a few out there who seems to have nothing else to do but find new ways to tear down and insult her and her family.
Britt the party Chelsy attended infested with famous people was through invitation – guest list only. So yes, she wants/is already famous and apparently has no problem in participating.
Nothing wrong about that, but you know how it goes with the 2 girls and the bias.
I see no problem in being curious about the Middletons, Davy’s Jayhawk.
Exactly, Me! So she goes out of her way to be purposely paparazzied by purposely attending the VIP establishments. Goodness, imagine if this was Kate, people would be shredding her to pieces.
I’m with you Lisa, people have an agenda with Kate, and it’s sick. But at the end of the day, we’ll have the last laugh when Kate and William get married.
She’s no longer dating PH. If you don’t like her, you should be satisfied. Small minds go on hating.
I wasn’t attacking her, I was highlighting the unfair bias projected from certain websites/people towards Kate and Chelsy.
I still stand by my comment that Chelsy is getting a free pass by partying with Z-listers. Kate would have been torn to be pieces.
I meant “free pass for partying with” not “free pass by partying with”
We don’t know if she’s dating PH again. Maybe will have some photos soon, Happy Birthday.
I agree with Britt about the last laugh as it pertains to Kate and William. Yes!
this video was posted on another site but it is so incredible I had to repost it here.
It is from 2007.
http://www.newspusher.com/EN/post/47455-9999/EN-/kate-middleton-tells-photographers-that-they-are-illegaly-photographing-her.html
Lisa, that video was a fantastic find! I heard both Kate and Pippa speaking, my goodness their voices are very posh.
I heard Kate say “I’m not going to move my hand, this is my private life.” She really sounded like she meant it.
But that video leaves no one in any doubt, Kate and Pippa are both very posh in their speech. And good for Kate for standing up for herself!
She has a very nice sounding voice, it’s a bit higher and lighter than I thought it would be considering her height.
I agree… Good for her for standing up for herself.
mapleleaf,I found this video astonishing. To put up with this kind of harrassment for so long now and not bolt…amazing. These photographers are vultures. No other words for them.
Horrendous.
Wow, what a very interesting video. It’s shame that they treat her that way. Yes it is very good that she stood up for herself, she was very serious.
Did anyone else think Pippa was using her phone to video or photograph the paps?
Yes, I think she was getting evidence of what was going on.
Wow. I missed that, Lisa, but yes she was. Perhaps that’s why they seemed to back down.
That scene would sure make for one compelling piece of evidence in a privacy lawsuit,wouldn’t it?
Definitely, Lisa.
Lisa and Kat, I’m almost sure it was already used 2008 by the Lord Justice Scott Baker for Catherine Middleton PCC case with the POW’s lawyers. Private eye documents are recently coming forward. I will not be surprised that 2006 onward videos and writings will start to appear in the internet.
and I think its Good for Kate !
The paparazzi treatment is horrendous, proof video.
I’m just glad she didn’t cry or start running like mad – like in Princess Diana’s video, which was horrible too. If so, I would think the stress really got into her and I wouldn’t blame her, as Lisa says, its amazing this woman has been strong to keep on with her relationship with William.
Do you guys think theres a woman out there who can hold every 24/7 move without being scrutinized like Kate ? Perhaps 8 months like Diana before an engagement and palace wall protection and even though look what happened to her. All the crap from inside the walls and out.
I feel and worry for Kate.
I am not sure she wasn’t crying in that video. She managed to keep her composure under what had to e terrible stress,which in itself is amazing.
Thanks for the video. The paps are just horrible – HORRIBLE!!! Between Chelsy’s recent crotch shots and now this, I find it unbelievable how relentless they can be. I really felt sorry for Kate in that video. When she insisted not to move her hand, I thought I heard her voice crack. But I’m mostly glad she stood up for herself and for their unreasonable actions.
BTW, I really like her voice!
Great find, Lisa!… though really distressing to watch.
I am with with you on Pippa getting evidence. There is a definite change in tone, even a couple of apologies. It could be that she uttered the words “This is my private life.” Those words highlight the basis under which UK (and US?) law would protect her from such unwarranted intrusion. Maybe they didn’t take her complaints seriously until she said them. Maybe the Pippa the Anti-Pap Snapper struck again. Maybe they realized she would not move her hand. Ugh. Wouldn’t want to be her, or her family. What worry.
I think Kate is a very strong woman and it is amazing that she don’t let the negative press and street paps ruin what she have with William. The strength she has showed over the years is not really recognized by the media and is ignored by many in the blogging world. I am glad that we on here recognizes her strength.
dagsi, I like her voice too. I can’t wait until we hear her voice in a more postive light, like her engagement interview.
I didn’t hear any apologies, but some smartass said “Thanks, your highness”.
I was pretty shocked watching that video. I don’t think I could cope with paps following me day in and day out. Belive me I would have bolted. PW is lucky and I hope he realizes what he has…
Today could be a good day!!
Hello Redlady,
Why might today be a good day?
Hi eveyone,
Amazing video. Yes pippa was with her mobile phone and took photos (pretty sure). I’m astonishe nobody heard what I did …. listened once more please everybody … Kate has the voice of …. DIANA
hi everyone
well what is the youtube video of kate ill be off for one week
I think that this is evidence that Kate actually likes the attention. If it was so bad she wouldn’t have anything to do with her ‘private life’ outside of raffles. There is something completely disengenuous about her.
Something that I don’t get when I see Chelsy in the same situations. She is inconsistent in her behaviour with the press, smiling most of the time and on that night ‘crying’ wolf. I also think this is evidence that she is willing to whine about her situation, which William must identify with and that is what she uses to get him back. I find the whole thing very sad for William. I hope he chooses better than her in the long run.
i am convinced after hearing this video that she is manipulative – she feigns weakness and plays the victim – which is in line with reporst of early childhood ways of acting. Sad but I know see why William is with her, he is trying to save her, like he wanted to save his mother.
we really don’t want TROLLS on this site. there are plenty other sites that love a pig’s point of view. have a great weekend !!!

update
NYme, thank you for that observation. I thought I was going CRAZY.
Can everyone please take a moment to pause and remember the tragic events that occurred on this day in 2001 and those whose lives were lost.
Those who defend the paparazzi and say it’s Kate’s own fault have just gone too far. It just proves that whatever Kate does, they will not see anything good or roght in it. Just for the case of it.
Oops, sorry Lisa, I didn’t know it was you who originally posted the video. Great find.
Kate sounded as if she was going to cry. Going by the date it was from October 2007. At least now Kate has some privacy. Thanks to the agreement she is no longer followed round the clock.
Did you hear the sarcasm of the paps? “Thank you your highness”. That comment alone tells you what our press are like. The worst in the world. In my opinion of course.
As for Chelsy, totally disagree with you hogtown. That girl is nothing more than a drama queen. She pretends to not like the paps yet turns up at places she knows where she shall be papped.
As someone who has studied law, Chelsy knows her rights. All Chelsy has to do is contact the PCC and say, “hey! the only reason I came to public attention is because I dated a prince. Well, I am no longer dating him therefore I am now a private person. What right do the paps have to photograph me”?
Of course Chelsy shan’t do that because deep down she loves the attention.
Morning All,
I read some comments on the other site regarding this video, they fail to realize that Kate is adviced to give the paps a smile and hope that would give them the picture they want and then leave her alone. All the royals do this when they are out privately.
In this video you can clearly see that the paps didn’t want to leave her alone after a few smiles and they surrounded her and her sister. They prevented Kate & Pippa from moving. These are street paps not the royal photographers that use to follow Diana in her early years. Kate & Pippa was treated badly that night and Kate had every right to defend herself. People think just because she smile at the camera sometimes, that must mean that she totally love the attention but that has never been true. Everyone knows that is you can manage to give a few smiles, the paps get what they want and they suppose to leave you alone. That clearly did not happen in this case.
It’s sad that people fail to understand Kate’s situation so they go around on different forums and spread lies about her. That’s the problem, they have no understanding of her situation so they busy themselves by jumping to conclusions and putting her down no matter what.
May I remind some people that Diana went through the samething many years ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gn6AL6be-0
meg I agree with you, they have convinced themselves that whatever Kate do, it’s wrong and and proves that she is the wrong one for the prince. I don’t know why this sort of abuse continues. Kate don’t deserve to be treated in that way.
Agreed 100% Rman. What I love is when they suggest that Kate was intoxicated. Just like they tried to say Will and kate were intoxicated the night of the Pub kiss. These people have no logic to their thinking. You can clearly hear Kate’s voice in the video. She show no signs if being intoxicated. Same with the night of the Pub kiss. Like William;s protection officer would let him drive while drunk. They just grab hold of this silly vendetta against Kate and twist everything to fit their agenda.
Lisa in response to Post 18, I did give Kate the benefit of the doubt initially, but unfortunately, after closely following the situation for years now, I have to wonder if she truly is the best longterm partner for PW.
Perhaps you have more of an emotional investment in the KM situation that I do. I view forums such as this one as being for entertainment purposes. As Ked alluded to in a post once, the more time that goes by with KM waiting, the higher the odds are that something can go wrong. It is a two way street. I think diehard KM supporters are growing more defensive by the day.
In terms of a forum being very interested in MM, I think that is a different forum than the one that I normally post on.
One of the reasons I am curious about MM, is because I think he seems like a very nice person, maybe the best one out of the bunch due. He doesn’t seem to be after anything at all.
Lisa, the key word you used is ‘Silly’. There are some extremely SILLY people on that RT Kate hater forum full of NaySayers. But it doesn’t matter what they say because they can never manage to get their facts straight anyway.
They make a lot of weird assumptions that have nothing to do with the facts. Most of the time they are only able to grasp about half of what’s actually going on, then they simply make up the rest to suit themselves.
IMO they’re definitely not worth bothering with, there’s just too much hate and weirdness going on with them.
Jayhawk,I have no emotional interest in people I have never met. I have a rich life outside of my royal watching that includes a job and a growing family. I do,however admit to crying when Diana died.
What I fail to understand is how people can speak with such venom about a woman whom they have never met. And how people can assume to know the feeling of a person they have never met.
Yous suggest MM is the one who is not “after anything”. That tells me you think he rest of the family is after something. Once again,this is something you or I cannot possibly know so it is pointless to discuss it.
In regards to keds comments regarding the longevity of the W/K relationship..he is viewing it with the glass half empty. I am not sure I agree with the premise that the longer a couple is together, the greater the chance they will run into trouble. Sometimes just the opposite occurs and the longer a couple stays together,the stronger the bond between them is.
It is no secret that I disagree with alot that ked posts as well.
Jayhawk, the reason why we are very defensive when it comes down to Kate is because we have grown tired of the false accusations about this woman. This is a woman who is in a very impossible position and since she is not married to the second in line to the throne, she is entitled to a private life. She should be allowed to go out and enjoy some time with her friends without being harrassed by these street paps. What they did that night was wrong.
There are many false rumors floating around about Kate, her family and the royal relationship. These horrible rumors is what drive such nasty comments on the royal forums, YouTube, and even the comments on the media sites. If people would take the time and understand Kate’s situation properly, then things would be okay. But that’s not the case here, people are filled with anger and they don’t care about facts, they want to be mean towards this woman.
That was (your) the best ever post Rman.
All have a nice weekend.
Rman
I think in another post which you wrote a little while ago you were spot on when you said that a lot of the problem on the other forums is that they think that Kate does not take into consideration their wants and needs which is why they are unhappy. Let them get on with it I say & I’m just hoping for the day that an announcement comes.
Lisa, Mapleleaf, and Rman,
All of you insist on creating a distinction between the “Naysayers/Kate Haters” and the Kate Lovers.
Now all of you are saying that the REAL difference between those who love Kate and those who Hate Kate is that, the Naysayers /Haters are “liars” – they just fabricate information about Kate because otherwise they would “love Kate as we love Kate.”
Mapleleaf is now saying that the Kate Haters are not only liars but spell words badly. LOL!
Where is the category for people who are just not big Kate fans like Jayhawk and myself? I admit I do make spelling errors, but I have not fabricated a single word about Kate Middleton.
I am guilty of bad spelling, but I am not a liar and I am also not all that impressed with what I read about Kate.
Why isn’t my position valid?
I really don’t hate Kate, I just don’t know that much about her and what I do know does not seem all that impressive to me or knock my socks off!
Why does that make me a bad person?
I don’t think your part of that universe their referring to ? Anyway, I think it refers to the radical nasty sneering vomits that pop up.
I particularly do not see that in JH’s or your posts here.
That video of Kate is phenomenal. She could have thrown the towel in and walked away from William when the press/paparazzi were intent on destroying her, but she stuck it out. This shows an incredible strength of character. A woman who is as strong and level headed as Kate is in the face of adversity is definitely someone of whom I want as my queen.
This sounds terribly cheesy, but in the prospective face of war, we could rely on Kate to stand by us till the very end, and not run for the hills at the slightest sight of trouble.
Me,
Thanks! I always feel like the Kate Hater comments are directed at me because I am not in love with Kate Middleton.
I also think that there is a huge difference between the people who don’t care for Kate or her family or are impartial and the venom and hatred which is spewed from some site. They make a lot of nasty unfounded comments and accusations which are ridiculous. She just showed up she wasn’t invited why hasn’t he dumped her this is ridiculous? He should be consistent with his ignoring behavior?? Her mother is this her sister is that her brother is the other…Lets mock up pictures to make her look terrible. They like I have never met any of them for the most part yet some of the things that are written are disgraceful. I don’t think it is jealously I just think that there are some people who take great pleasure in other peoples misery and it makes you wonder what sort of awful lives they lead….
I watched the video also, but am unable to watch it again because it has been frozen. Towards the end when Kate was telling the paps to leave her alone, I thought she was going to cry.
Clover #67,
Thanks for saying it. I tried to make the same point months ago. I know I come here to read up on ALL of my favorite royals (Zara and Harry mostly). The biggest turn off about this site is you can’t just be “on the fence” about Kate here. You’re automatically tagged as a “Kate-Hater.”
atx,
You are welcome. I know what you mean, it is a real turn off the way everyone here is ready to call you every horrible name they can think of because you simply are not impressed by Kate Middleton.
jj and me,
Not talking about you guys because you explained yourselves. Thanks!
Clover, I wasn’t referring to you when I wrote my comment at post #62. I mentioned a specific forum. Unless you’re a member of that forum, you weren’t a person I was referring to.
I spoke about a group of people that seem to constantly get dates, names, and situations wrong, seem to have difficulty comprehending what’s going on, and then they just make stuff up to suit themselves because they don’t actually understand what’s going on.
The fact that they also seem to have difficulty with spelling is just a sidebar.
As for calling people ‘Kate haters’, I stick by what I said about the RT forum. That whole place is just sick IMO. No group of people should harbour that much dislike for someone they don’t even know.
They say some of the nastiest, meanest and ugliest things about Kate Middleton that I’ve ever seen said about anyone. I don’t say this because Kate Middleton is some ‘sacred icon’ that needs to be protected and only have great things said about her. I say it because I’ve never seen anyone talked about as negatively as some people have spoken of Kate. The only other person I ever heard spoken of that negatively was Camilla Parker-Bowles, and at least there was an understandable reason for that. With Kate, she isn’t an adulterer and she didn’t break up someone’s home or harm a well-loved Princess. The venom against Kate just doesn’t make any logical sense, and I thoroughly dislike things that don’t make logical sense.
Clover you’ve never done or said anything like that, and I’ve never ever stated that you did.
There’s difference between being indifferent towards someone and just being plain old mean and nasty.
BRW is a great place because Steven doesn’t allow the nastiness and meanness go go on here, and I’m very happy about that. I also belong to another forum that I like. That forum has people who have many different opinions, and I don’t always agree with them, but for the most part people are civil there, and they respect each other, and we have fun. That forum and BRW are my two favourite places to discuss royal news and happenings.
I would hate for either place to have to deal with some of these ‘drive by’ trolls with nasty attitudes and expressing mean thoughts, who are not regulars.
Clover I have never referred to you or mentioned you as one of those sorts of people.
Clover, which horrible name has someone called you? Everytime someone defends Kate when those horrible people from that RT website attack her . You get upset and chastise them, but when they attack Kate you defend them. It is almost like you have something invested in that website. No one has said they are in love with Kate here . If you are going to attack someone in the vile way she is attacked then she should be defended whether you like her or not.Those people want to bully her and go to different website to do so.They should be called out for that and it is done on this Website.(thank God for that) But you are so busy getting upset if someone defends Kate you probably do not see that. I think you post there and probably same some of those vile things about her too that is why you get so upset. Otherwise I have no idea why you get so upset.
I mean say some of those vile things.
OK, we’ve had views from both sides so we might take a little breather and leave it at that for now.
Thanks, Steven (BRW)
