Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy back together again?
According to News of the World Prince Harry smuggled Chelsy Davy back to his place after a night out last week…
He sent a flunky to hire DVDs from his local Blockbusters store, so the pair could curl up in front of the telly together. It is the clearest signal yet that their five-year romance is back on.
A close source said: “They were just hanging out together like any other couple does on a Sunday – chilling out on the sofa watching DVDs. They’re just testing the water right now. But neither of them have anybody else and they’re very happy to see each other.”
Friends say the pair plan a holiday together in South Africa as soon as they get a break from their busy schedules.
Meanwhile People.co.uk claim that Harry has been teasing Chelsy on Facebook…
The cheeky royal helped trigger a reunion by repeatedly altering his Facebook “relationship status indicator” – which describes whether the individual is single or dating.
Realising he could make Chelsy, 23, jealous, Army officer Harry then went even further and claimed he was getting married to a fictitious girl.
A source close to the couple said: “Harry knew that both he and Chelsy still held feelings for each other. A couple of months ago he began teasing her by announcing on Facebook that he was once again in a relationship. Chelsy is one of the friends that Harry has contact with via Facebook. He didn’t want to seem over keen by telephoning her and asking outright if she wanted to give their relationship another go.”

this relationship seems very immature…
September 21st, 2009 16:07
cool
i hope they have many years of happiness
and they do this in their own way that makes them both happy
September 21st, 2009 16:49
this story has been overused so many times it’s not even amusing anymore.
September 21st, 2009 18:08
I pray this story is not true. I did think that Harry was getting his act together.
Chelsy, in my opinion, is not royal material. In fact she is nothing more than a Chav.
September 21st, 2009 18:23
Hale, that seems really uncharitable. Especially considering that Chelsy is a law school graduate from a very wealthy family, and Harry graduated from— oh wait– Harry didn’t go to university at all, did he? Chelsy is obviously very bright to have made it so far on her own academic steam and Harry is… well…. apparently not so bright, struggling just to make it through pilot training. So who is royal material and who isn’t? It seems Harry will be lucky if Chelsy will have him.
September 21st, 2009 18:31
benny- i know the chav comment is a bit harsh, but i agree with hale. just because you graduated from university, that doesn’t make you special. it’s pretty normal actually. and she may come from a very wealthy family, but then again money does not buy you class. there are many suitable young ladies in britain who are far better than chelsy davy in so many ways, and she should be most lucky to have p. harry, not the other way around.
September 21st, 2009 18:50
Benny,
I support Hale and Frank. I am not sure what Chav means, we don’t use the term here in the US. What makes someone royal is their parents, bloodline, and heritage and that is the way it has always been.
Going to University and having wealthy parents has nothing to do with being a royal, I do not see the connection.
September 21st, 2009 19:32
I’m actually someone who’s torn about Chelsy. I’ve grown to adore her as a person, but I do have doubts about her suitability for the straightlaced RF. I think in time she will outgrow the partying, perhaps stop smoking in public, and may have a very admirable career in law. But will that eclipse her fun-loving past — all those “chavvy” pictures already spilled into the internet? Should she marry a prince, I’m not so sure the press would be so forgiving.
That said, I’m adapting the wait-and-see attitude about this whole reconciliation. If Harry thinks she’s suitable, then I guess she must be.
September 21st, 2009 20:19
well i believe it if its has a pictures
September 21st, 2009 20:20
If they are giving it another try, I think that might be a good thing. Chelsy has said she does not like all the “stuff” that goes with dating/being a royal so we know/presume she is in it for Harry, not the press, which is more than some of the “fluffy’s” Harry has entertained himself with since they split
September 21st, 2009 20:27
What does it say about the pressures and other realities of being royal in the UK that these two young men — PH and PW — keep going back to the young women they met in their early twenties? Of course, they are those who will say that they chose well the first time, or that these relationships have nothing to do with each other. Still, I say, food for thought.
September 21st, 2009 20:38
Well, I guess Dagsi and I can celebrate. Too bad there are no pictures to confirm that they have reconciled. I hope it is true. The RF needs someone with a little spark!

update
September 21st, 2009 21:06
I too am torn dasagi. I like Chelsy & I think age is a perfect fit for Harry. My issues or concerns rather are because I don’t think she is the right girl for the royal family. I think she will find the Royal family life style too restricting & that a life of ribbon cutting will bore her. I think being told what to do on a daily basis & not being able to do what she wants when she wants will be problematic. They do say that say that the path to true life never did run smoothly.
September 21st, 2009 21:12
I’m not sure I’m buying the fact that these two are back together. But on the other hand, the sheer volume of tab coverage on this topic is hard to ignore. I’m with Hale on this one — Harry seemed like he was getting his act together and getting back into this unstable relationship is a big step backward for him.
Two people in a healthy mature relationship don’t need to take regular breaks away from that relationship. Something here isn’t right. It might help if they weren’t so intent on maintaining their friendship (no matter how crucial it is to the survival of Chelsy’s social status quo). I think the tabs are seeing evidence of that friendship and using it to sell papers and generate click-throughs.
I don’t want to bang on too much about this because I do not entirely believe these stories. But if I turn out to be wrong, I will unleash the beast.
September 21st, 2009 22:02
frank, Hale
I dont think that the royal family would have any right to judge CD when PH has done the same or even worse things. Lets remember his NAZI uniform, wild partying, etc.. etc… PH and CD they both are just the same.
September 21st, 2009 22:40
Good point, Teresa. They’re two peas in a pod. If we want to make a list I think Harry would take it. He’s had his own share off gaffes that were made public. Let’s see, Charles took him to that drug rehabilitation clinic to visit after he had been caught smoking marijuana. How old was Harry then? Wasn’t that before Chelsy hit the scene? The derogatory terms he used for Islamic people while filming. That wasn’t too long ago.
If they are together we should be happy for them!
September 21st, 2009 23:25
They are so sweet together. I love that Chelsy has a Law career. I do hope they keep things going and keep seeing each other at the Palace, away from public. Good luck to them, I hope it works out. They are so sweet.
September 22nd, 2009 05:23
well i love chelsy and harry together in private life in the quite time..
September 22nd, 2009 10:32
I like that Chelsy has some focus to her, like Harry, they both have a path, which is really neat to watch (in their careers that is)
September 22nd, 2009 11:15
Frank, your comment #6 is on the money.
September 22nd, 2009 11:28
It just seems that Chelsy is so far Harry’s intellectual superior that it would cause trouble in a long-term relationship. After all, lust in a relationship cannot last forever, and after lust is gone they will have to communicate with each other on a companionship level. Plus Harry does not seem like the monogamous type. I’m thinking someone less intelligent and outspoken would suit Harry better longterm (and this a compliment to Chelsy).
September 22nd, 2009 11:47
In books only.
September 22nd, 2009 13:45
Sojourner, brilliant point! Considering W&H have strung the same women along for half a decade now, I believe it says very little about society, but rather emphasizes on the brothers emotional issues. I suspect both brothers have ridiculous trust issues. Not to mention their apparent phobia of the Great British public (this is more William than Harry however).
I’m sure Chelsy is very academically minded but I only have two things to say about her;
1. Money doesn’t buy you class.
2. How can someone find royal life ‘constricting’? If your unwilling to live a respectable lifestyle with unimaginable prestige because your unwilling to take orders, you have the maturity and personality of a tantrum throwing 2 year old toddler.
September 22nd, 2009 15:00
Britt
It certaintly wouldn’t be for me. Having security guards following my every move not being able to see my family or vacation with my family whenever I wanted to being besiged by press everywhere I go and having a duty first and foremost above everything to the Royal Family is no joke. Every part of your life is dictiated with very little of the decsions being your own. It may not sound terrible to some but is definitely not the lifestyle I would want to live.
September 22nd, 2009 17:37
Sorry, but if Chelsy is such an “intellectual”, why hasn’t she pursued the legal field more aggressively? All she’s done is go to school as a f/t student. And she has it made with mom and dad picking up the tab for tuition, living expenses, partying, vacations, cigarettes, a car, etc. You name it, and they pay for it.
If I had it made in the shade like that, I’d go back for another degree myself. Maybe even a third… Lol.
That alone is not intellect — it’s a great deal of good fortune.
September 22nd, 2009 18:16
Katherine, while I agree that most likely Chelsy’s parents have probably done a lot for her financially, though we cannot know how much, how much more aggressively could she pursue the legal field? She went to a top British school, earned a difficult post-grad degree, and according to the DM is starting work this month for a law firm. I don’t know the law field very well. Clue me in. What is more aggressive than that? Her actions sound very aggressive to me.
September 22nd, 2009 18:53
I like Chelsy and Kate fine, but I’m suprised the press gives Chelsy an easier time than Kate – it seems to me that Chelsy’s father’s connections would be more controversial than Kate’s uncles problems.
At any rate, at this point both girls have been around long enough to know what they’re getting themselves into, so I would think that if either one did marry into “the firm” they would be able to handle it.
September 22nd, 2009 19:10
I hope you’re right, AJ. It takes someone very special to be able to handle the Firm, though, as it requires not only dealing with immediate family, but also courtiers, society folk, the government, the media, the world… No royal family is quite as popular as the British Royal Family, and no one will be quite as scrutinized as William’s future wife.
As for the press, I think it’s but natural that Kate gets more scrutiny than Chelsy. After all, she’s dating the heir. But we also have to remember that Chelsy’s had her bit of hard bashing from the press. It’s all a cycle. She started as the chavvy party blonde to Kate’s good girl image. Now she’s the career-determined girl to Kate’s Waity Katie. They build and pull down. And it’s all to sell papers.
September 22nd, 2009 19:43
Jayhawk, I’m not a law student either. No thanks. Lol.
I meant that she could have worked or volunteered (something she can afford to do) in her field. I don’t begrudge her simply being a f/t student, but I don’t think it makes her exceptionally intellectual or career minded. Cream of the crop employers want to see more than good grades – they also want to see relevant work experience and genuine motivation.
My comment was also based on the claim that it was Chelsy who ended her relationship with Harry in order to pursue a legal career. IMO, we have yet to see the need for such a decision on her part.
September 22nd, 2009 20:39
this relationship does seem very inmature to me, CD and has given PH many chances and he has never changed. As some other commenter suggested PH doesnt seem to like being in a monogamous relationship and I doubt he will ever at some point. CD should just look for someone else plus I do think that the royal life woud be a little too restricted for her. Probably she loves him but she should consider that love is not everything in a relationship,.
September 22nd, 2009 21:09
teresa,while I am not a fan of Chelsy,I fail to see how you or anyone knows what drives the relationship. “CD has given PH many chances and he has never changed”. Sorry but how would you or anyone else know such facts?
September 22nd, 2009 21:38
I don’t know why they broke up. Could be the “our-careers-are-pulling-us-in-different-directions” excuse or his alleged cheating. But I think it could be that she finally came to realize they had vastly different timelines for marriage and family. Just a hunch, feel free to critique.
September 22nd, 2009 22:00
It seems CD is almost in more a damned if she does damned if she doesn’t position than KM is. Her father knows some questionable people, but was able to fully fund her education, which to some makes her intellectual qualifications questionable. KM works for the family firm buying time to marry her prince. I believe CH really does love harry but can’t quite reconcile that love with the reality of marrying into the royal family firm. While KM can wait it out, time alone won’t change the situation for CD and PH
September 22nd, 2009 22:08
I just think Chelsy is a free spirit type who would not be happy playing the demure role in public she would have to play if she sticks around. She appears to like her fun too much for that sort of stiffleing lifestyle. In time they will tell her how to act how to dress how to speak who to speak to…the family has alot of restrictions if you think about it. Then there is the matter of the 24/7 bodyguards. That alone would send many ladies running for the hills.
September 22nd, 2009 23:00
lisa
I am saying my comments based on all the things I have learned from this relationship through the media. We all have heard of PH womanizing antics.
September 23rd, 2009 04:26
Of course Chelsy could obtain a decent when all she had to worry about was reading her law books – her daddy paid for everything! And probably still does! She isn’t independent in the slightest…the majority of women her age are supporting themselves through full-time or part-time jobs…Chelsy has never even had a part-time job judging by the media! Getting a good degree isn’t enough to prove yourself worthy.
September 23rd, 2009 04:27
^ I meant “could obtain a decent degree”
September 23rd, 2009 04:39
Jayhawk, C doesn’t start A&O properly until next year! She is currently undertaking an LPC course at the College of Law.
Going by this timeline, C will be approaching 25 years old by the time she finally gets a job. Does this remind you of anyone? Yes, Kate. If we are going to call K workshy and lazy for putting getting a job off for as long as possible, we can then certainly apply the same judgment upon C.
September 23rd, 2009 11:18
i know a lot of privildged people who do law degrees that don’t find it easy, actually it is harder becasue they are use to have it handed to them..
she is a self starter, with a path
you can’t buy that kind of focus
September 23rd, 2009 11:34
If we take what all the gossip rag mags, articles referred to when Chelsy Davy went to study in the UK, none mentioned her as a self starter. They all mentioned she went to Leeds University to be close to Prince Harry.
Anyway, trivial fact from the University Ranking League, Leeds University for the purpose of studying law within the UK is poorly ranked at 33.
September 23rd, 2009 11:56
what the rags say doesn’t have much weight
the evidence is she is a self starter
September 23rd, 2009 11:59
For anyone to study and go through and graduate – self starters.
September 23rd, 2009 14:33
I have a law degree and I can assure you that (1) they can’t be bought no matter how much money you have; (2) you have to study your b*&t off to get through law school; and (3) you have to be extremely focused and determined to make it happen. Also, stupid people do not even get into law school in the first place, no matter how wealthy. So we know that CD is bright, focused and determined, all things that I believe PH has proven that he is not. She really should be looking elsewhere for a more mature and intellectually inclined beau.
September 23rd, 2009 14:59
Just because Chelsy has a degree does not make her royal material.
George V and Princess Diana did not have college degrees. George V was an excellent King. Princess Diana was a much loved former member of the RF. Just for the record, the Queen doesn’t have a degree either and during her reign despite a few hiccups, I would describe the Q as a popular sovereign.
I think it absurd that Chelsy claims not to enjoy the limelight when she is continually photographed at high profile places. If she didn’t enjoy the attention then why has she never complained to the PCC?
We have some very famous celebs living in London. eg: Daniel Craig, who as you know is the current James Bond actor. The only time you see him in the media is when he makes himself available to ‘plug’ his latest ventures. Why is that? Could it be because he doesn’t frequent high profile places and therefore leads an ordinary life? A former colleague of mine saw him with shopping bags in hand emerging from Marks & Spencers.
If one goes back and re-reads all the articles written about Chelsy, what comes across is a brash,manipulative, tantrum throwing, spoilt brat. This girl does not know how to deport herself. Discretion is not her middle name. Cigarette in one hand and bottle of beer in the other, Chelsy acts and behaves like a footballers wife. No finesse and no class. I do not want this female marrying into the RF, nor do I wish to be paying for her security for the next ‘X’ amount of years and I especially do not want her representing my country. She is an embarrassment.
As to those who say Harry isn’t the kind to stay faithful, what makes you think Chelsy is? It didn’t take her long to get ‘hooked up’ with Dan Phillipson, whom she was accidentally discovered in a tent with at the ‘Norfolk Festival’……canoodling!!!!!! Much to the embarrassment of the person who by chance walked into the tent. Then there are the pics of her and Dominic Rose, taken of her in her nightie. This girl is another Fergie in the making, and those who reside outside of my country are welcome to her.
As you all know, I have withdrawn my support for the marriage of W & K. However, one of the reasons why I admired and still admire Kate is for her discretion, her ability to behave correctly in public. Kate in my opinion has a ladylike quality which if natured could greatly blossom into a worthy ambassador. Kate is no Chav. Kate is not common. Kate does have class. Kate does not blab to the press. Unlike Chelsy and her friends.
Chelsy looks like a permanent unmade bed and Playboy mate of the month. I daresay given Harry’s age (overactive testosterone’s) is always an attraction.
I daresay there are those who will point at certain pics taken of Kate. Pics which in my opinion were taken by paps who are devoid of any morals.
Chelsy also has been recently papped in this way. I find such photos also despicable. Irregardless of who the subject is.
Never forget what she is supposed to have said to Dean Piper, when he asked what had happened between Harry and Chelsy, Chelsy replied, “He cheated on me”.
Chelsy is in it for the title and the fame.
September 23rd, 2009 16:26
hale- most excellent post. couldn’t have put it better myself. but i have a question, why have you withdrawn support for w & k’s marriage?
i am just curious.
September 23rd, 2009 16:27
Hale,
Very interesting post!
September 23rd, 2009 16:54
Hale, it seems that we are in agreement (albeit for different reasons) that this is not a match made in heaven. Please tell us why you do not approve of the W & K relationship.
September 23rd, 2009 17:03
Did you have to take the LSAT Benny? The “Games” section . . . difficult.
September 23rd, 2009 17:14
Hale no longer supports William & Kate because of the uncle Gary scandal she thinks this will taint Kate throughout her RF life is they were to get engaged. She worries newspaper articles will continually make references to the scandal @ that in turn that will taint the Royal Family possibly leading to a republic. Hale did I cover everything?
September 23rd, 2009 17:32
Jayhawk, I took the LSAT about a thousand years ago, before the “games” were added. But I understand algebra knowledge helps.
September 23rd, 2009 17:35
Clover
jj Dead on. What a shame.
Has anyone heard from Alsgal. I really miss his/her posts.
September 23rd, 2009 17:36
Look at the time!
Goodnight, God bless and may your God go with you.
September 23rd, 2009 17:45
The word “games” is very deceiving. I don’t think algebra would help so much. It’s more about organizational skills. I looked at some LSAT study guides to help me with GMAT CR, and now have a newfound appreciation for what it takes to become a lawyer.
Goodnight Hale. Hopefully in about a week I’ll be on the UK time schedule too.
September 23rd, 2009 18:44
Hale…post 45 is nothing short of amazing! Well said.
And I must disagree with the comments about Chelsy being a self-starter. IMO, she moved to England and chose Leeds to be near Harry. It was also a great way to avoid some of criticism that Kate has endured regarding the work and career issue. It was a slick move on CD’s part for that reason and it extended her f/t student lifestyle. As difficult as uni and grad school is, it’s still easier (IF that’s all you’re doing and not working to support yourself) than the real world of working f/t and looking forward to a mere week or two of vacation time each year.
September 23rd, 2009 18:53
Btw, Hale, I don’t really think the Uncle Gary story will be an issue for Kate. She’s too “established” in William’s life for that to be a problem, IMO. Her own behavior/track record speaks for itself. Once an announcement is made, only the raggiest of rags will bother with that story.
September 23rd, 2009 20:28
It WAS completely acceptable to not have a degree in the past. Plenty of people from previous generations entered the work force with out having gone to a university. Now, or at least State-side, the majority of people from CD’s, PH’s, and PW’s generation do go on to university. It’s a necessity to compete in the working world! I don’t think many people realize just how strenuous graduate studies are. I know people who remained full time students through out their undergrads and graduate studies. I didn’t get that luxury, but the fact is, some people do. I would have milked it if I had the chance.
Chelsy may not be as demure as Kate, but at least she’s more of a reflection of modern society. She’s tenacious and career-minded. Kate may be a better choice for William, I’ll give you that, but it’s only because she’ll keep her mouth shut, lay prostrate and produce another generation for the RF.
September 23rd, 2009 22:51
atx, I agree that today’s generation is generally expected to get degrees and achieve professionally. I admire Chelsy for doing that. It may be difficult for a girl dating a prince of Harry’s caliber to balance it all, but for her sake, I’d like to see it actually work. I hope she could achieve best of both worlds. I do, however, think it’s a bit harsh to say Kate’s only good for lying prostrate and producing another generation for the RF. She may seem less assertive, but that doesn’t mean she’s incapable of achieving in her own right. I sincerely believe that given the chance (and finally a public role), she can really shine.
September 23rd, 2009 23:04
i am pretty sure that Harry was int he south not near leads..
she could have picked one much closer to him then she was
distance wasn’t an issue for them in that his career dictates where he goes
i think she is a girl with a plan
and she is a truely a modern woman
whether she will be good for the RF or not I am not sure
her role would not be the consort to a king (at least we don’t think so at this point)
She parties, she has fun, but she is her own woman that much is obvious.
She doesn;t put up with what she deems to be too much in a relationship
yES she can be unapolegetically Chavy BUT she bows for no one, she is her own woman
and she is smart enough to know that while life with Harry might be fun now marriage may not be in the cards if they have to stay in England
i don’t think Chelsy is hurting for suitors
no does she appear to bend every part of her for a man
that i like about her
September 23rd, 2009 23:05
While I am not in favor of comparing Kate and Chelsy,I do have to say that I admire Hale for having the guts to say what she did in post #45. I agree with some of it and disagree with some of it but it took guts to put it out there. Kudos Hale.
September 23rd, 2009 23:11
she has stayed very loyal to her crowd in South Africa which is qute something given people like Dan Phillipson are interested in her..
she is a good person, and has a good soul underneath the partying etc. i dont think harry would be with her if she didn’t
life is shades of grey which makes it hard to see what is actually going on..
she is defintely unapolegetic for her life, and she doeasn’t mask herself for others consumption
and given where she is in life
doesnt’ that make the most sensical way to be?
Acting for the future supposed job is sort of … manipulative … no?
September 23rd, 2009 23:17
Dagsi,
Yes, the choice of words was a little harsh, but I get kind of frustrated with the Chelsy bashing.
Hopefully KM will show us she has the potential to become a significant and supportive figure for the RF. I use to think KM could be a wonderful addition, but the longer the “will they/won’t they” goes on, the less optimistic I’ve become. I personally believe she’s been driving a nail into her own coffin for a while now, publicity wise.
Her unassertiveness, I believe, could end up biting her in the ***. Hypothetical scenario, I know, but if PW ever did commit adultery in the past, present, or future I don’t think KM would stand up for herself. I think if she were put into any compromising situation by the RF in the future she would roll over. That’s just my opinion though.
September 23rd, 2009 23:23
atx
you are absolutely correct
public school education was so good most generations – earler than the turn of the last century did not have to go to university and that was the norm
in a way yes
chelsy is somewhat the norm
i will say this though
privilige is no indicator of happiness
obvious i realize to some
happiness for most of those of privilege is a very difficult thing to find
the more choice you have the more you can potentially screw up
Chelsy seems not dependent on any one
less vunerable than others that have gone before her
she has really acted as most people of her ‘class’ and money have except she has used her brains to advance herself and hasn’t forgotten her friends and family in the process
she seems stable
and sweet (if facebook is anthing to go by – )
September 24th, 2009 00:02
Hale, what a post on 45. I totally agree. You had the nerves to tell what I didnt dare to say. Exactly my thought. Not a word I didnt think.
September 24th, 2009 09:40
Hmmm… What exactly is so “modern” about Chelsy? She’s a f/t student and she parties it up the rest of the time. I don’t consider that particularly “modern” or being “her own woman” at all — it’s been done for decades by some who are lucky enough to afford it. And it makes her quite DEPENDENT on her family. Being your own woman implies having YOUR OWN MEANS with which to live your life, and NOT having it enabled and paid for by someone else.
I think the term “independence” where CD is concerned is often mistaken for a strong will and a selfish desire to have it her way and the heck with anyone else. Well, not only doesn’t that make her royal family material, but it also doesn’t make her the most mature future spouse material – for anyone.
September 24th, 2009 10:28
Interesting posts ladies and gentleman!
If you ask me Chelsy is equally as lazy as Kate, but better at disguising it. There’s no doubt she learnt a thing or two from the Kate backlash.
To enter the law profession in England, you don’t have to have an undergraduate OR postgraduate degree in law. Law firms will take on graduates from any degree background (as long as it’s not something fluffy such as media studies) as long as you have a respectable result. Chelsy could have entered the profession straight away back in 2007 with an respectable degree in PPE, but instead chose to take another 3 years out from working (2 years postgrad + 1 year LPC).
To conclude Chelsy has taken the extra long route into law so she can carry on with the frivolous drunk college girl lifestyle but has cleverly disguised it as “studying”.
September 24th, 2009 10:55
Thank you all for the kind words.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone YET received the Robin Nunn book?
If so, could they please share their thoughts on the book.

Forgot to add to my post…
I’m not saying it’s what C absolutely did for sure, but how her actions can very, very, very easily be constructed.
September 24th, 2009 11:14
hello Hale, The Robin Nunn book has not yet been shipped and I don’t believe it will ship until an announcement is made. Amazon is updating those of us who have pre ordered the book asking if we want to cancel the order or keep waiting. I am going to keep waiting because when that day comes,this will be THE book,I believe and it will be hard to get. JMO.

Does anyone know if Chelsy or Kate had any summer or part-time jobs, before they became ‘famous’, while they were at college or school??
September 24th, 2009 12:26
I think Kate worked part-time for a clothing distributor. Here is an article about it.

http://www.soundoffcolumn.com/images/kate-middleton-photo-1-.JPG
Here’s an article that mentioned her working for a upper-crust bar called Snatch for someone named Rory Laing who was on the Apprentice.
http://www.monstersandcritics.com/people/royalwatch/news/article_1280832.php/Kate_Middleton_s_Apprentice_boss
I don’t know if Chelsy had a 9-5 job before univ. I think I have seen a picture of her in People magazine that looked like she was a paid model. Chelsy’s Wikipedia page says she wanted to be a model when she was young, so that makes sense. Apparently her mother was a beauty pageant contenstant of some sort.
September 24th, 2009 12:39
I’ve read that Kate has worked in a clothing distributor, a posh bar, and some sort of yacht business. I think most of them were summer and gap year jobs.
September 24th, 2009 12:53
Thanks for the info! I don’t know if I was getting off topic there… but that proves to me that Kate’s not work-shy!! Her life changed enormously after she met PW but before that she seems to have worked during her holidays to earn some cash of her own like most young people, even though her parents are wealthier than average.
I don’t know if Chelsy has a similar work history… I never got the impression that that was the case though. I neither love nor loathe Chelsy, indifferent actually, but I just think it’s relevent to the work ethic debate.
September 24th, 2009 13:36
Thank you for the information Britt and Jayhawk!
I wasn’t aware of the fact that to practice law in the UK you didn’t need Law school for postgrads. Generally, in the States, you can move on to law school with a political science or another relevant degree, but the more traditional route is to take Pre-Law for your undergrads. Either way you have to do well on your LSATs for placement into Law school. Some friends of mine have taken six to eight years to graduate, get internships and find a respectable job in law. It just depended on which area of law they specialized in.
The articles about Kate’s summer employment definitely sheds a new light on her, but I still wish she would step up to the plate more.
September 24th, 2009 13:59
Katharine, obviously you have never gone to school, considering all of these judgments you are passing about schooling. Compared to my summer banking internships etc, I think school is definitely a lot more stressful and definitely tougher by miles, as you’re working to cement a future and a successful career for yourself.
It’s kind of really silly actually for you to postulate that Chelsy only is studying and pursuing a law degree (and on that note, where did you get YOUR law degree as you feel you’re an expert on how easy it is??) to be close to Harry and extend her ‘worry free’ life. I do believe that working a 9-5 with minor take home work and established hours would be the easy route, rather than lectures, interning, assignments every other day, and pulling all nighters for examinations.
Whoever said that Chelsy and Kate are the same in terms of the whole employment situation, are you forgetting that Kate finished her degree by the age of 22-23, and has been floating in and out of work for the years following, compared to Chelsy who has gone from her bachelors at age 22 to law school? Considering that she has secured a placement upon graduation, I think she deserves to enjoy herself now that her education is complete. It wasn’t laziness or being workshy or whatever that has kept her out of the whole work field… it was the fact that she was in school.
I usually love coming on this site, and commenting about current royal affairs, but this place is just too judgmental and full of haters. I think a lot of commenters here have forgotten how easy and hypocritical it is to sit behind a computer and say things, and how ridiculously nit-picky and silly they actually are in real life.
September 24th, 2009 14:11
Oh come on, Chelsy has had an average of 5 free months yearly since she studied University and still is keeping that life style.
The way many posters in different sites have questioned and daily bash Kate’s supposed workshy habits, one would ask what has Chelsy done during that too much free time a year she’s got ? Jack S., no summer or winter temp jobs. 5 months x 5 years equals 25 months equals 2 years of laziness.
PS: I am just giving the example so people may understand what I see as a smart conniving manipulating person Chelsy is while learning from Kate’s supposed mistakes – from her detractors.
PSS: I am just using a ‘few’ words of what Kate dislikers have used when wording.
September 24th, 2009 14:16
PSSS: I really don’t care if Chelsy doesn’t do jack during those 5 free months of idleness on a yearly basis since she started University, but what I do mind is the “oh well she studied so hard during those 7 months of university, she deserves those 5 months of holidays”. This kind of bias has gone year after year after year, facebook is her hardest proof.
IMHO, Chelsy may use her parents money to keep on studying all what she wants and spend thrifting on boose, cigs, exotic holidays, whatever. Very cool and fortunate.
September 24th, 2009 14:24
Rina,
I thought the same thing. Being a student isn’t easy and, unless you have gone that route, you just have no idea.
I said it before, but if I didn’t have to work and complete undergrads and grad school i wouldn’t have. I’m sorry, but that could be a contributing factor to Chelsy’s smoking too.
September 24th, 2009 14:31
Me,
I don’t know if you’re in the UK or the US but you realize that people do take classes in the summer and/or winter (quad-mesters). They can also intern during those times too. Who knows? Maybe Chelsy did some course work during those times.
I guess it’s okay for Kate to “work” for her parents for the past five years? How often do we see her on vacation?
Nobody here knows what they do with their spare time or work lives. Unless there is a camera all we can do is assume.
September 24th, 2009 14:36
Me…… Good post. I to believe that Chelsy is studying Kate’s actions. Also it should be remembered that Chelsy originally wanted to go to Bristol University where she would have been much closer to Harry, but instead had to opt for Leeds.
Lisa….thanks for that information. Please let us know when the book is finally sent out and what you think of it.
Jayhawk, I don’t know if this will be your first visit to the UK, but if there is any information I can help you with, especially info pertaining to London then do not hesitate to ask.
Meanwhile, found this browsing.

Don’t know if it has been posted yet.
September 24th, 2009 14:52
Atx, as I said I really do not care what she does during those 5 free months a year she’s got since studying university.
If she ever did what you suggest, 100 percent positive that she would have been paped or 300 percent positive it would have been mentioned in her facebook wall and/or photos. But no, instead we have tons of photos of her clubbing and vacationing photos and wall gossip year after year after year directly from her and her darling bubbly friend (s).
As I repeat I don’t care what she does with her parents money.
Thanks Hale and I do like all your posts even if I do not agree all the time.
September 24th, 2009 15:02
Who has pictures of themselves hanging their head over a stack of books after popping a couple of Adderol to make it through an all-night study session on their Facebook? Nobody wants to see that! LOL! Most people post pictures of their friends, family and themselves having a good time.
I haven’t seen any pictures of Kate working. There was one a few years ago of her taking out the trash.
September 24th, 2009 15:14
Atx we have year after year of paparazzi proof of Chelsy walking to and from University during school period.
There is not one single paparazzi photo of her walking to and from university or temp jobs during her too much 5 months x 5 year free time, instead tons of facebook photos published publicly and by PM too
We also have posters hanging on her threads hands down for a 2 week internship. Laughable !
September 24th, 2009 15:19
Atx, you must have missed the entire year of daily Kate London Jigsaw photos to and from her flat.
Atx, sorry but you must have double missed those questionable photos of paparazzi chasing her in the Countrside of Berks to and from Party Pieces. Very dangereous she was photographed in her car, biking and zoomed from the bushes. The paparazzi’s camped out from dawn till evening just to mention in their legends what she exactly did when arriving and departing from one place to another.
In other words, the paparazzi where not content to follow her in London, but followed her until it was stopped by ____________ place your bet here.
September 24th, 2009 15:29
Where OH Where is Rman???? I have not seen a post lately hope everything is OK.
September 24th, 2009 15:32
Think he’s off for a 2 week holiday.
September 24th, 2009 15:35
It appears William is inspired by his grandmother the Queen.

September 24th, 2009 16:00
I was fine with her when she was at Jigsaw, but how long ago was that? Who knows if Kate was going to party pieces?
I’m assuming you were in the car? I’m assuming you work at PP and that you go to the University of Leeds? I forgot some people are just that obsessive about people they don’t know. Who here gets on CD’s Facebook anyways? I’d say that’s sad. Life is passing you by.
September 24th, 2009 16:32
Atx yes, yes and no no and no.
All that information photo proof you are asking has been provided in the royal sites. Photos of Kate while driving to and from Berks home to Party Pieces, Kate biking to and from Berks home to Party Pieces to Doctors office, likewise Chelsy from her student dig to Leeds University. Chelsy’s facebook photos and in a relationship, single status et wall gossip is her/friends own fault. I personally think she likes the idea of having them posted. Like Hale mentioned publicly at those VIP clubs she hates the attention but still goes and no PCC. Likewise Facebook, if she were mad about the photos and gossip ending up in sites she would have set her privacy setting at the max – this may be done to a selection of chosen facebook friends to only read and see what you want to be out there. One may politely request do not take photos of me please.
As I said I am being counter balancing what people scream about K which C also falls into or worst.
September 24th, 2009 16:35
Most universities do allow credit for correspondence classes too (or at least in the States). I’m sorry, I think the majority of you don’t have any idea what university is like. So, you shouldn’t pass judgment on CD.
September 24th, 2009 16:42
Kate smokes cigarettes, when she and William broke up, the press did a article about her smoking and showed cigarettes in her purse, that were definately hers.
Kate has been disappointing since she finished her University years. She has done litte with her time excpt wait for William and that is just sad.
People can see through the smokescreen of convenience that she is saying she works for her parents. She has earned the press nickname waity kate because that is her whole existence…waiting.
William has not married her , fortunately. Maybe he feels deep down she is not the one he will end up with. He keeps holding back for a reason.
I hope he never marries her she seems entirely to lack work ethic and her family are just not right for Royalty.
September 24th, 2009 16:49
Atx the majority now a days know what university is, believe me. Some law students have said that they studied law to meet the one ! Think of that whatever pleases you, I found it funny.
Carlye, not new info, same ol’ same ol’ – as the Kate detractors have used repeatedly. That is what Varya started out with (Waity Katie) and Katie Nicholl picked it up from the TIF site. Varya hasn’t posted there any longer, she actually does and is I think a moderator at the RT.
September 24th, 2009 16:53
I can give you a history of 5 year postings here, there, other sites. Who started what, who author – columnist – journalist – royal correspondent copied word by word from poster blogger who
September 24th, 2009 17:05
Rina, this was my statement regarding uni vs working f/t in the real world:
“As difficult as uni and grad school is, it’s still easier (IF that’s all you’re doing and not working to support yourself) than the real world of working f/t and looking forward to a mere week or two of vacation time each year.”
I’m not sure where you got the idea that I haven’t gone to school or that I was simplifying the difficulty in some way. I clearly acknowledged that it is difficult. And you seem to have missed the statement I made in parenthesis, which was an important part of my point.
In my case, I worked p/t while I attended college f/t and I worked f/t during the summer and semester breaks. You yourself mentioned a summer banking internship, etc.
Well, CD has done none of the above. She’s been a f/t student supported 100% by her parents. Her only obligation is her study schedule and as difficult as it is, she hasn’t needed to flip burgers to pay for her tuition and/or room and board. And, as Me pointed out, she has several months a year off to do whatever she likes – and clearly she makes the most of it.
She’s a rich girl, living a rich life. Hey, if she’s lucky enough to do so, then more power to her, but let’s call a spade a spade please, rather than making her out to be this modern, independent self-starter. She has yet to save the world or give birth to sextuplets.
September 24th, 2009 17:18
opinion
she waits and she does say she works for her family, which sounds more like a smokescreen to be free with time and her family is questionable according to the press
she is called waity katie by the press.
the Prince has not married her.
the prince has not married her, that is a fact.
maybe he will or won’t, but he has not.
kate dates Pr.william both remain unmarried, not engaged.
all the wedding reports over the years have not managed to be correct.
he remains unengaged.
September 24th, 2009 17:45
Me, you made me laugh withthe idea that you would go to law school to meet someone! Definitely not true! Law school is SOOOOOO hard no one would do it for their social life!
September 24th, 2009 18:22
My feeling is Chelsy doesn’t have to study kate
she is too busy ‘partying’ as you all observed : )
she is astute and incredibly bright
her comments about her father were intelligent, woven beautifully and filled with critical thought
Is Chelsy better than Kate
no not in my eyes
but Chelsy IS the picture of the modern women — on a career path — breaking up with someone who was not good to her…
asking them to live to certain standards
really i dont’ think there needs to be a debate of better — just an obsevation of what looks to me as reality
I do think Chelys is WAY more modern than Kate
law school in england is no joke
my cousin completed studies there and was incredibly stressed the whole time she was there
i dont think for a moment that Chelsy has relied on anything but her own acumen to get where she is now
Self – starter because she gets up and goes and does something because she has decided to move toward a professional career still a bastion of men who she will have to compete with
my roomate in college was drunk for six weeks and he still did better than 90% of the people in his class workign hard at somethign doesnt produce the best results necessarily
But having a path in life is important — one for yourself
partying pictures and life pictures and people who love and surround her are all things that are to her credit
i feel for Chelsy — she is so far from home and england isn’t really and never was home for her
Harry is most certainly the draw but i get the feeling they compromise and when they dont they split
i think that is healthy
i am so sorry so many people are so down on Chelsy
it is sad really – because you are missing out one one incredibly bright educated and fun person…
your loss i suppose
and i get the feeling chelsy feels that way – your loss that is– which makes her even more modern grounded and pretty wonderful
September 24th, 2009 18:47
Benny @ 96 its not my idea, I have read it from law graduates who never practiced it (female) and I also know a few who studied law just for social reason and/or to meet the potential one and landed marriage. Doesn’t mean they where the best students but most likely average.
September 24th, 2009 18:58
Hale, thank you very, very much for the offer of help in your post #80. I have most of my arrangements finalized, but am down to the wire on my visa timeline. I might PM you through the other forum after things have quieted down, if everything works out. I have never been to the UK before, but am excited at the prospect of being a weekend train-ride away from major landmarks I’ve only read about and seen pictures of up until now. Hopefully everything comes together in time.
Benny, that is funny . . . the prospect of meeting someone at school. If my plans work out to travel to the UK, I will be going solely for the education and experience of living in another culture, but since I’ll be attending a quality business school, I can’t say that I’ll mind if I’m surrounded by a lot of, say, hot, male, management students? LOL.
September 24th, 2009 19:02
Who knows, it like Holly Branson might end up marrying a NSA morning Doctor, private consultancy afternoon Doctor, while she never was a practitionaire. Anyway she decided to quit public service for the tuition entered at university for medicine, which she was obliged to give service to for a certain amount of minimum years, and decided to work for the Medical Research facility of the Virgin Atlantic FAMILY BUSINESS. How did she do that without a scratch ?! A few broadsheet and tabloid mini critical non light scandal ! She was even compared to Kate whom quit Jigsaw to work for the family business.
Like William in the SARF/RAF he will render a minimum of public funded schooling via rescue work, although it is said that royal duties is a take off obligatory time. I do not know Harry’s case, will he be deployed for all the public funded schooling at the Aircorps ? Not sure about that, he might be grounded.
September 24th, 2009 19:13
Well I did say I found it funny ! And I also said think what you want, peculiar eh. One of the I know law and proved to be correct, did it, and knows it does happen in the lecture room.
September 24th, 2009 19:52
I think the forum seems really different without RMAN posting.
September 24th, 2009 22:23
Hello My Royal Peeps!! Thought I’d try using his line, but seems sort of flat….! Miss you RMAN!! Come back to us soon.
September 24th, 2009 23:38
Nicely said, really. Having a path for oneself is so important, a path not dependent on the outcome if a person will marry the person or not.
If Kate had a law degree, she would be given accolades for accomplishing something.
Chelsy getting a law degree is a wonderful accomplishment, the girl is to be applauded, in her early 20’s she is onto a career path and not faltering.
Kate at almost 30 has a different unexplored career report every few months and never does it materialize.
There have been several reports that Kate will go to NY work in a fashion house, or with Anna Wintour of Vogue, which never happens. It is amusing the press reports Kate’s interest in fashion, when fashion week was just in London,NY this past week, I wait to read or see a report that maybe Kate has joined a design house and nothing materializes, she does not even attend a show.
At this point it appears obvious what her real career is, “waiting.”
William has a career. Pr.Harry has career. Chelsy has a law career.
Kate has no career.
September 24th, 2009 23:52
I can’t believe there have been so many posts on this?!?!?!?
Honestly they are just two girls who happen to have the misfortune yes I said misfortune of dating two princes.
Both of them are private citizens and we don’t even know if Chelsy and Harry are back together. Both have scandalous relatives attached to them of which they have no control or power over.
I don’t think one girl is better than the other or should be compared or pitted against each other. They are both girls who have different attractions to their princes neither girl would work with the other prince IMO.
I hope some other news comes out soon because IMO this is cabin fever…..

September 25th, 2009 10:33
Carlye,
In that respect, I do feel very sorry for Kate.
And it’s not necessarily that she wants to not have a definite career path. It may not be something she can just force into existence right now.
But to the outside world, it looks very convenient, as though it is a means to put pressure on William, or a result of focusing too much time on being available to him.
I think if William marries someone else, it’s going to be a double whammy to Kate, and I wonder if William knows this and is overly sympathetic to her as a result.
Not only will someone else be on his arm, but watching William move on in life with his own bride, if she herself suddenly yearns for her own freedom (and I do suspect that to some extent she plays follow the leader with William) from her parents and current life, she’s not going to be very well equipped to do so.
I think she’s going to find herself with not too many professional options, and lets face it, there are some jobs that I’m sure she would be too proud to take now that she’s experienced the kind of lifestyle she’s experienced.
There may be some very hard times ahead for her if she decides late in the game to create an independent life for herself. It would be difficult enough without the world watching.
September 25th, 2009 10:54
Regarding the Holly Branson comment, surely you could see the difference between:
a) quitting work at a shopgirl because you cannot handle the paparazzi attention and the fact that an employer cannot be flexible every other day to your royal bf’s needs, to work for your family business of taking pictures of inanimate objects such as transformers themed party hats and cups and other exciting things.
and
b) realizing that you might love the art of medicine and its various other applications, but not the clinical aspect (which is a lot of people… hello, how many doctors work for consultancy firms, research institutes, the government, universities, even emergency hospital work), and transferring to yes your family business, but hey, unfortunately you can’t be compared to Kate in the papers, because instead of choosing to serve the under-funded and critical industry of party supplies, you’ve chosen to move to a private medical research firm, which not only probably has huge potential and backing, but is probably involved with extremely important and emerging medical research.
ME, you need to learn how to critically analyze situations and understand what people are really frustrated about regarding the royal family that they fund through their tax dollars, and not just hate on one royal gf in favour of another. I’m not even a fan of Kate, but they’re not even each other’s competition or anything. If anything, compare Kate to the other women in Will’s life, and then you’ll realize the saddest thing- that Kate, this private, middle class girl whose family has worked immensely hard to educate their children in every way, has gotten an excellent degree but given up on every idea of a career she’s had in each year, and like Chelsy, continued to be funded by her parents who had bought her a very expensive flat in Chelsy, buy her an Audi, her lifestyle (this has all been documented in the tabloids). Chelsy is at least pursuing a concrete career with her parents backing, Kate seems to be vacationing and waiting and showing up, as I mentioned before, to photograph inanimate ‘pieces of art’; I would hardly think that one would need little more education than how to operate a digital camera to take such picture for a website. To collect my thoughts, anyways, I think it’s worse to see this middle-class girl who had everything given to her to support her rise upwards, and then see what she had done with it all compared to the other aristo’s in Will’s lives, all of whom were definitely born with silver spoons in their mouth, funded by their parents in all of their ventures, but alas, have established admirable careers in fields of their interest, such as Arabella Musgrave, who I believe is working in PR at Gucci.
An interesting thing I found about Kate and Isabella in a 2007 article from the Daily Mail:
“”Isabella was very much on the scene that summer. I would go so far as to say that William dumped Kate because he thought he had a chance with Isabella and Kate knew that.
“Kate’s a tough cookie, though, and stood aside and waited for William to come back to her which eventually he did. Before that, though, he did everything he could to woo Isabella.
“He had fallen for her in a huge way and wanted to be with her. He propositioned her several times that summer and although Isabella was single, she knocked William back and said it would be too damaging for her and her career.
“She is a name in her own right and on her way to becoming hugely successful. In her view, being affiliated with William in a girlfriend capacity would be damaging for her.
“William was madly in love with her but when he knew there was no chance of them getting together he went back to Kate.
“Kate was very aware of his obsession with Isabella and she was incredibly threatened by her. Isabella is drop-dead beautiful and would leave any girl in the shade.
“Kate accepted William back again but on the condition that he would not speak to Isabella again.”

I’m one to always believe that where there’s smoke, there is some sort of fire, and time after time, the stories we read about the royals and their associates only further shed light on what types of people they are. I do believe that actions speak louder than words, and if any of this is true, I’d rather have beer guzzling (and interesting side note, while many of us volunteer in numerous capacities and work for charities as private, less resourceful citizens, Kate’s only contribution to St. Andrew’s social scene was forming a Beer Appreciation Society) Chelsy as my queen, for she at least seems to respect herself, and knows that not even fame, royalty or status should shadow her self-worth, it that’s what dumping a philandering Prince Harry was.
September 25th, 2009 11:00
Do excuse my atrocious grammar in my post!
PS. Where is RMAN, and there also used to be this poster in the past, Will?
September 25th, 2009 11:02
I loved Will, but he hasn’t been around in forever. Someone asked about him once, and were told he had moved to the states. I have no idea if that it true. There also used to be someone named Claudius around I think.
Ked took the place of Will for me, but Ked is somewhat gone now with his recent marriage.
I can’t imagine that RMAN will stay away for long.
September 25th, 2009 11:07
I am sorry,Rina but I doubt there is barely a shred of truth in that 2007 Katie Nicholl article. She quotes “family friends” etc. The Middletons or their friends do not talk to the press. That article is pure fiction with the exception of the documents incidents. All the stupid quotes are bogus.
If your holding your breath for Chelsy as your queen,I hope you like the color blue.
I will leave the rest to Mapleleaf.
September 25th, 2009 11:18
William, Harry and Kate have career paths, Chelsy is still in the initiation of obtaining a career.
September 25th, 2009 11:27
Where is Rman?
September 25th, 2009 11:30
Me, saying that Kate has a career path implies that she can be self-supporting for the rest of her life. Hypothetically, if it doesn’t work out between KM and PW, what is the career path that your alluding to- that she either work for her family business for the rest of her life, or someone other Internet/Party/Fashion business?
September 25th, 2009 11:30
Think he said he was leaving for a vacation.
September 25th, 2009 11:35
Thanks,Me,I was worried. Hopefully he is having great vacation and will return soon.
September 25th, 2009 11:46
Lisa, why would I be holding my breath? I merely stated that she would make a better queen and would speak moreso to the modern woman than Kate, but it’s not like Kate is, say, the cover girlfriend for William’s real gf, who is actually really Chelsy, who is just being Harry’s gf as a cover. LOL! It’s ridiculous enough for someone on the RIF to pick up and actually believe.
September 25th, 2009 11:48
A CAREER is the sequence and variety of occupations (paid and unpaid) which one undertakes throughout a lifetime. More broadly, ‘career ‘ includes life roles, leisure activities, learning and work.
Kate Middleton actually works for Party Pieces. One should leave OPEN opportunities that may arise.
Therefore Jayhawk and since I am not a psychic nor do I believe in anything related to it, I do not know. But I do know that she has practiced all the characteristics in general described to be in a career.
In the 21st century one of the most important characteristic is to be OPEN for different opportunities. You do not need to stick to one job, for example, when and if something better to YOUR OWN concideration arises. Each person has different needs and knows what is good for him/her.
This is general, but its in all the books.
September 25th, 2009 12:29
Oh dear,I do hope we get some royal news soon. I think I need to go wash my hair now,lol.

Rina,
I wouldn’t take too much stock into the DM article, but kudos to you! My thoughts exactly regarding the comparison to Holly Branson! I feel the same way about Chelsy.

OT the broadsheet article, Holly Branson the qualified Junior Doctor used the costly training at this public university but did not comply with the minimum years to cover that cost.

The definition of ‘Career’ via Websters Dictionary…
Main Entry: 1ca·reer
Pronunciation: \kə-ˈrir\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle French carriere, from Old Occitan carriera street, from Medieval Latin carraria road for vehicles, from Latin carrus car
Date: circa 1534
1 a : speed in a course b : course, passage
2 : encounter, charge
3 : a field for or pursuit of CONSECUTIVE PROGRESSIVE ACHIEVEMENT especially in public, professional, or business life
4 : a profession for which one trains and which is undertaken as a calling
I’d like to direct Me’s attention to 3 specifically. I’d say Kate’s only ‘consecutive permanent achievement’ is sitting idle and twittling her thumbs while waiting for her tiara.

Atx that is a general basic term from a Dictionary. Everyone and anyone may use search engine and will understand that career encompasses a wider berth.
Now your underlined statement is your sole opinion based on no evidence whatsoever. When searching for any article, inclusive from a rag mag, a small, medium or large tabloid or broadsheet, none of your statement appears in any way, shape or form.
September 25th, 2009 14:22
The underlining was not intentional. I don’t know what that is. And I realize that that is my opionion. I don’t know why it hyperlinked or whatever.
September 25th, 2009 14:23
Atx, but perhaps to your surprise, like the broadsheet that I linked above, where Kate Middleton is working for Party Pieces and in general speaks about family business firms and the “girls” whom form a career their, you will find plenty via the search engine.

I just don’t understand how some people can be so critical of CD and think KM hung the moon.
September 25th, 2009 14:31
Well, Me, very true, but at the end of the day I really don’t care about people I don’t know personally. YAWN… I’ll just file this one in the ‘Live and Let Live’ category. Unfortunately, not all of us have copious amounts of time to fritter away in front of a computer.
September 25th, 2009 14:35
I don’t think anyone nor the hard Kate fans think she is (If you refer to someone as having hung the moon) EXTREMELY wonderful, or amazing, or good.
Most likely as simple as good, no adjectives.

Am I the only one getting tired of all this career discussion? The topic of Kate Middleton and her “job” has been hammered over and over with no real conclusion. How can there be when she’s a private citizen working for a private company? The arguments don’t really help in the discussion either… they just make people from both sides more determined in sticking to their beliefs.
atx, I think I can understand your plight. It’s very easy to prefer one royal gf over the other, especially since they are so very different. And since harsh words are easily written about one gf, people tend defend her by pointing out mistakes of the other. It’s exactly where the nasty mud-slinging originates. Let’s be fair. Neither Kate nor Chelsy deserves any of this.

I’m sorry Me, but apparently you’re confusing the word Career with the word Living. The description you’ve just given could basically fit anyone doing anything at all in life.
September 25th, 2009 15:19
I’m not confusing anything, the author’s who write about career and may be found via internet, bookstores.
September 25th, 2009 15:21
And yes, that is the idea which if your interested may find via internet and bookstores; basically fit anyone doing anything at atll in life (according to your needs and what you think is convenient for you)

So, actually, by your definition, Chelsy is not obtaining a career, they all have careers. Chelsy fits under your category of “learning.”
September 25th, 2009 15:38
Initiating: To set going by taking the first step; begin.
Which in Chelsy’s case are studies and perhaps one or two more of the following:
* Work experience
* Community involvement
* Employment
* Life roles
* Enterprise activities
* Cultural activities
* Training
* Education
* Interests
* Sport
* Volunteer work.
As you gain more experience in the world of work and undertake a variety of life experiences, you are building YOUR UNIQUE career path. All life experiences, including paid work, sporting interests and managing a household should be drawn upon as evidence.
I can PM you various interesting books, people tend to grand or belittle what each think is a grand or a belittled person (career).

“Hypothetically, if it doesn’t work out between KM and PW, what is the career path that your alluding to- that she either work for her family business for the rest of her life, or someone other Internet/Party/Fashion business?”
Yes, why not? She can take over the family business. Her parents aren’t going to be around forever. I think that’s what her mother wants.
September 25th, 2009 20:54
“and knows that not even fame, royalty or status should shadow her self-worth, it that’s what dumping a philandering Prince Harry was.”
i like that line
And i think that unfortunately for William and his position he has to take on someone who doesn’t care about that kind of thing – the Royal Family as it stands needs someone who will put up and shut up
pss would you want the daughter that is licking stamps and rearranging the website every so often to take over your family business, the one that is away all the time with her boyfriend? or hte son who has started his own business with his own line of credit from the bank and who is attached as a senior person to your firm
please Kate is not on the track to take over the family business – that is just not in keeping with her ‘career’ path
James maybe but not Kate
The only type of person that is going to do that with a guy who has strung you along for that long is someone who isn’t like Chelsy
Again i am not saying Kate is wrong – she may be just the right thing for the
RF
I just question whether there could be another type of RF – one that showed its mercy for the people entering it just like the show mercy for the citizens they serve
one that tried to help the person get a life outside of them prior to entering their domains – one that did sit idle until you entered it and then annialated you and your personality “for the good of the RF”
But if she is or at least what her
September 25th, 2009 21:41
Really?
I think you are making a lot of assumptions about Kate’s work history and ‘life experience’.
This discussion has run its course.
