Dagsi….and let’s not forget the witch-craft and the spells she casts over poor, helpless William. Lol. It would be funny, if it wasn’t so sad.

Right on, Katharine!

I couldn’t believe the evolution of speculation regarding Kate’s role in William’s life. Some nay-sayers couldn’t simply accept the fact that they’re a couple. It’s always been “they’re just friends”… just friends who go on holidays together… friends with “benefits”… and then William mentions having a girlfriend… oh it’s not Kate; he didn’t say the name Kate… Kate’s just a cover… and then the snog in the car park… oh it was staged; he’s not really with her…

Amazing how determined people can get in disproving their relationship!

Anyway, I’m glad to see Wills supporting Kate’s endeavors. As much I wish we could have gotten more pics of Wills and Kate, I’m glad to see bits of the Middleton family — especially the relatively unknown Papa Mike, who seems like a nice fellow from the pics.

It is so obvious The Prince is going to marry her.
Why are people going on about various scenerios.
He’s with her, he loves her, he will marry her. He shows this time and time again, it’s a no brainer.

Lol. Absolutely “no bones about it”, Mapleleaf. I agree!

Oh, I should have clarified my statement. Sorry. When I said, “…he’s been stepping up a lot lately to be there for her (and her family) and send a very clear message to the nay-sayers,” I based it on the period in 2008 when the press was not particularly kind to Kate.

There was much criticism over the disco charity event as well as a lot of speculation about William and Kate’s relationship. We heard it all — from her not being fit for the RF to him not being interested her, etc. The nay-sayers said he was using her, he wasn’t really “into her”, he didn’t look happy when he was with her, she was “just a friend”, etc. I could go on and on but we’ve all read it, I’m sure.

Since the end of 2008, however, I believe things changed. I would miss something for sure if I attempted to list it all but, IMO, William has made a conscious effort to show that Kate is very much his g/f and that he stands besides her and her family. And I believe his appearance at the Starlight event was just one more example of it.

The “Time to Reflect” photobook exhibit that Kate hosted for Unicef was in December 2007, some months after William and Kate got back together. Obviously William was present then to be supportive of Kate.

He was doing the same thing yesterday by being present at the Starlight charity event. Kate hosted a table, and William was there to be supportive. It can definitely be called ‘more of the same’, which in this case means ‘more of the same support and consideration’, which is a good thing for any man to do when he’s in a relationship.

It’s great that William was supportive of Kate in 2007, and he’s still being supportive of her in 2009. That’s the type of ‘more of the same’ that couples should have in their lives. IMO it’s the right thing to do for a guy to be present and supportive of his girlfriend’s endeavours.

I think what William’s presence at the charity event yesterday shows is that Lisa and Katharine are absolutely right as well; William is standing behind Kate and her family, and he’s making no bones about it.

I think the story was already history before last night. The Starlight Event, with William showing up reminded me very much of William showing up at Take Time to Reflect, the show of photography Kate hosted for Unicef. And that was in 2007. I’m not so sure that him showing up to this event is a sign that anything has changed. I think it’s more of the same.

After I posted my last comment, I realized that it really is HUGE. You’re so right Lisa! This is after the Uncle what’s his name story and it’s clear that it hasn’t changed anything. William is standing behind Kate AND her whole family. And that is exactly how the story will become ancient history. Yes!!!

Yes yes yes…William’s message is LOUD AND CLEAR. Anyone who doesn’t get it is deaf, dumb and blind.

Amazing pics. Thanks to everyone who posted them since yesterday.

I really loved Kate’s dress! And Meg is correct that it’s THE color right now. Carole looked wonderful and we can see where Kate gets those gorgeous legs. If a man is supposed to look at his future mother-in-law to see what his wife will look like, William has NOTHING to worry about! And I liked Pippa’s dress too.

And of course it was great to see William there supporting Kate. I think he’s been stepping up a lot lately to be there for her (and her family) and send a very clear message to the nay-sayers. The future is becoming clearer and clearer, eh? ;P
