Kate – Even in jeans and no make-up she looked fabulous
The Daily Mail’s Richard Kay reports on Kate Middleton’s preparations for the Starlight fundraiser held last weekend…
Just hours before the weekend’s event at the Saatchi Gallery, Kate strode into the nearby Chelsea salon of hairdresser Richard Ward – sans make-up and sans fuss.
‘She sat down to wait like any other customer, leafing through the magazines,’ says a fellow client. ‘There was no VIP room treatment or diva demands.
‘She had her hair cut, washed and blow-dried, and asked only for a glass of water. She was in and out in just over an hour. Even in jeans and no make-up she looked fabulous.’

Good Morning,
Here is the Starlight’s website artical on the charity event.
http://www.starlight.org.uk/
October 2nd, 2009 11:28
Thank you Rman, and I am glad Starlight is placing the news, its good publicity.
October 2nd, 2009 12:18
It’s a lovely article. How strange though, that from the photos, one might have thought the Middleton’s were the driving force behind it all, while meanwhile, it was the result of a year’s worth of hard work by “Maggie and Rose.”
October 2nd, 2009 12:20
hi guys,
Check this out…It apears HM is stepping up against the paps!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/6255900/Queens-lawyers-move-to-ban-paparazzi-from-Sandringham.html
October 2nd, 2009 12:23
I love the pic they used of HM for that story!
October 2nd, 2009 12:26
I know,Jayhawk! Funny! Sounds like the Kate at Christmas story just might be true this time!
October 2nd, 2009 12:49
Hmmm I can’t see the article now. Have they removed it?
October 2nd, 2009 13:33
Thanks for the link Lisa. That’s a very interesting artical and I think it’s good that the Queen wants her family’s privacy respected. It may prevent us from having any pictures of the couple at Sandringham this year.
I’m glad some positive attention is being focused on Kate. For a longtime now, she has received soo much negative attention and many people have been brainwashed to think she’s in this relationship for all the wrong reasons. It’s truly time for this girl to shine in a more positive light. So I think it’s safe to say that the charity event was meant to shine some positive light on Kate, her family and the cause they fully support.
October 2nd, 2009 13:52
Perhaps what HM is protecting her family from is the feral press deliberately misinterpreting what is portrayed. The pictures taken of PE last year show that he did not in fact hit the dog. Shows how even the Telegraph cannot be trusted to report the news accurately.
October 2nd, 2009 14:01
Phoebe I agree.
October 2nd, 2009 14:41
With regards to the Starlight event. Didn’t Kate look wonderful? Those classic designs really suit her and I loved the colour charcoal grey which is not a common colour.
Meanwhile, about Starlight. I think its a great thing that the Middletons have become sponsors of this charity and I have no doubt Starlight is benefiting from it. For example, before the Middleton’s became involved I had never heard of this charity, but yet only today we received a leaflets about this charity requesting a donation.
October 2nd, 2009 14:56
I agree with Phoebe. When I read the Telegraph article the first thing I thought of was the Prince Edward scandal last Christmas. Whilst I expect the British press will comply with HMs orders, I doubt the order will extend to the foreign press. Nor will they probably take any notice of the orders either!
October 2nd, 2009 16:31
I agree that it probably has to do with some of the hunting-related stories from recent years, but it sure makes me wonder about William and Kate.
October 2nd, 2009 16:50
I can’t help thinking that if HM released the order because Kate would be in attendance, surely she would also request the order be kept secret to halt press speculation too? Or maybe the Telegraph printed the article out of sour grapes because they resent being told precisely what they can and can’t print. As we all know, the Telegraph constantly swings between being a friend and foe for the royals.
The order probably has something to do with the past hunting scandals, not to mention Prince Edwards animal abuse outrage last Christmas. Of which I must make very clear to any readers he was not found guilty of. In my opinion the order is not a move to reclaim privacy but rather an attempt at silencing critics.
October 2nd, 2009 21:28
i think that kate middleton does not show her face but work hard
October 2nd, 2009 23:02
hello Hale,
yes Kate was glowing at the Starlight event. I was thrilled for her that William appeared there with her and her family. It speak volumes,IMO.
In regards to the Telegraph article, I think this is a continueing effort for the RF to get a handle on these intrusive pictures and maintain some privacy when on their own time. Good for them. Of course as it has already been pointed out,the UK press will abide by the “request” but the rest of the world probably will not so if Kate is there over Christmas, it will be known. I don’t personally think it is such a big deal if she is there, afterall she is William’s longtime companion so it is natural they would want to celebrate the holiday together. Now if she attends church,then we a story.
October 3rd, 2009 11:19
I find it disgusting that she would use sick children to promote herself!
October 3rd, 2009 11:53
No one promoted themselves. Money was raised for the kids. William,Kate and many others participated. Check out Starlight’s website.
October 3rd, 2009 13:11
Oh of course – it was all for charity! – but surely the money that was spent on hair, make-up, and outfits alone could have been donated to the charity, which would have given the children a lovely treat. But no, publicity is what she is after – to make up for her laziness!
October 3rd, 2009 13:11
Donna, you’ve pretty much just insulted the entire royal family! The majority of the royals actively engage in events with sick children to garner favorable publicity.
October 3rd, 2009 13:15
Britt – She is not a member of the royal family!
October 3rd, 2009 13:54
Donna I think it’s important for everyone to understand that Kate’s family is actively involved with Starlight Children’s Foundation. Their company Party Pieces teamed up with Starlight. Here is more info:
http://www.partypieces.co.uk/cm/charity.htm
The event that William, Kate and her family attended was held to raise money for the foundation and the money they gave will grant 100 wishes for seriously ill children. Kate gave money and Party Pieces donated a party to the foundation. I just think it’s important for poeple to know the facts because there are soo many lies and rumors about Kate and her family on the internet. No one bothers to check the facts but just repeat the same rumors over and over again. It’s not fair to Kate and her family.
Kate came out to show her support for this wonderful cause and she looked beautiful. She works and is involved with a great charity.
October 3rd, 2009 14:01
When Kate join the royal family, she will be attending and spending her time with charitable events like this all the time.
October 3rd, 2009 15:02
@Rman, post #23:
The best part is that everything you said was not only the truth, but it was totally factual and can be easily validated by anyone who takes the time to read the information available on the links you posted.
@Donna, post #19:
Donna, every woman who attended that charity function probably spent money on hair, make-up, and outfits; as women, it’s what we do when we want to look nice, whether the function is a glittering high-profile charity event or a church banquet.
As a matter of fact, MOST women spend money on hair, make-up, and outfits when they’re going to an important event, no matter what the event is.
It was not wrong for Kate Middleton to spend money on her hair, her makeup and her outfit, unless it’s wrong for every other woman in the world to do it.
I know I spend money on MY hair, my makeup and my outfit when I’m going to an important event, and I double-dare you to tell ME I’m wrong. My mother does it, my friends do it, and so does every other woman of my acquaintance.
So now what are you going to say, that ALL women in the world are supposed to donate the money we spend on our hair, our makeup and our outfits to charity?
As you said, Kate Middleton is not a Royal. Besides, judging by the photos I’ve seen of Royal women around the world, most Royals spend money on hair, makeup and outfits for an important event. (
with the exception of Princess Anne, that is.)
So Donna, if you’ve ever spent any money on your hair, your makeup, or an outfit for some important function you attended, I hope to goodness you also donated the same amount, down to every single last cent, to charity.
And I hope you’ve done that every single time in your life you ever spent money on your hair, your makeup, or a new outfit for a function, whether it was a friend’s houseparty, or a party at uni, or a big formal affair.
Because if you haven’t given the equivalent sum to charity for every single time you spent money for those things, then why talk about Kate Middleton needing to do something that you yourself don’t do?
October 3rd, 2009 16:14
Hi Mapleleaf,
I just think it’s time for us all to start getting real here. There’s just too many lies about this young lady being spread around the internet. It’s time to stop the shenanigans already.
October 3rd, 2009 16:25
I really think the most effective way to stop the negative comments about Kate would be with an official engagement.
PW should propose to Kate and after that there will be an announcement from CH or SJP.
Once there is an engagement Kate will be under the protection of the palace. She will also receive some PR assistance and then you guys won’t have to do combat on the blogs.
Aren’t you guys getting tired of arguing?
October 3rd, 2009 16:34
mapleleaf – well said regarding post #19. may i suggest that we ignore the person that posted #17, #19 and #21. i believe this ‘poster’ is ininteligente. let’s not waste any engery on the pauvre… i applaude anyone that takes the time to organize and recurit support for a cause to assist children that are terminal. with the economy around the world taking a dive it is great that there are still people willing to go that extra mile.
October 3rd, 2009 16:56
Clover I know I’m getting tired. The silliness often gets soo bad that you find yourself not doing just combat moves on the blogs but also a couple of Bruce Lee moves on the blogs.
Until we get an announcement, I think it’s only right for us to spread the truth around and not the made up stuff. I would do that for anyone, not just Kate.
October 3rd, 2009 17:03
October 3rd, 2009 17:32
Rman,
LOL! I love the “Bruce Lee moves on the blogs” line. LOL!
Katarine,
I really do think you are simplifying the issue by saying people are jealous of Kate’s looks and that is causing all the fighting. There are plenty of beautiful people out and about and some may actually be AS beautiful if not more beautiful than Kate Middleton. Kate is attractive, but I would not argue that is the cause of all the conflict.
PW needs to propose PDQ!
October 3rd, 2009 17:48
Clover, I’m not suggesting that it’s the source of ALL the conflict and people are certainly entitled to their own opinions. However, for a person to get so uptight about Kate’s hair, makeup and dress on a big night, well, it becomes a tad personal, IMO.
October 3rd, 2009 18:20
The press has run the alphabet of excuses of why he has not proposed.
a. Military obligations
b.Queen’s Jubilee
c.He won’t b pressured
d.Kate has to get a job.
e.Her mother is seen as too common
f.Uncle Gary’s reputation damaging the family
g.Kate wants to be single to enjoy herself
h.William’s not ready
i.William will marry her when he’s 28
j.William will marry her when he’s 30
k.William will marry when he graduates University.
l.William will marry when he graduates Sandhurst.
m.William will propose on Diana’s birthday
n.William will propose on Easter
o.William will propose on Christmas
p.William will propose after Peter and Autumn wed
q.William will propose after Sophie and Fred wed
r.William will marry after Zara and Mike engaged
s. William will propose before he goes to Australia
t.William will propose after the Passing Out Ball
u.William will propose in Mustique

x William will propose at the holiday Cabin
y.William will propose 2007,2008,2009,2010,2012

October 3rd, 2009 18:41
Ginger I think you’re right, and I totally agree with what you said about applauding anyone that takes the time to assist children that are terminally ill.
Clover I agree with you about being tired of arguing, but you are a reasonable person, and you express yourself in a reasonable manner that gives respect to everyone you express yourself to, whether you agree with the subject or not.
Unfortunately there are some people who don’t have any desire to be reasonable when it comes to the subject of KM.
There are some people who are so determined to find something negative to say about KM that even if William and Kate did announce their engagement, it wouldn’t stop those people from making the sort of comments that were made by ‘Donna’ at post #s 17, 19, and 21.
‘Donna’ stated that she was sickened by Kate doing something positive for the Starlight children’s charity. She claimed she felt Kate was ‘using’ sick children for favourable publicity. What type of decent person sees charitable work for sick children as something bad, no matter who’s doing it?
For some people, logic and reason and decency don’t factor into the situation when they dislike a person. There are some people who will find something bad to say, no matter what the situation is.
For instance, let’s say that in the future William and Kate are married with beautiful babies and a schedule full of Royal duties.
There are some people who would still insist on saying something negative or bad about Kate. Being engaged won’t stop negative things from being said about Kate, even being married won’t stop it.
It wouldn’t matter if Kate was feeding the needy and sheltering the homeless every single day, there are some people who would find something wrong with it or have something negative to say about it.
IMO, when those types of comments are made, if possible they should be addressed in a reasonable way.
October 3rd, 2009 20:31
Everyone, ignore these trolls. We all know what royalty site they come from, so why entertain their nonsense? They come here and bait for sport. Ignore them. They are not worth any response.
October 3rd, 2009 20:40
I have been following the hair discussion. My brother is having a wedding reception. I will get my hair done. When I go to a special event, I llike to look my best. It is part of the festive event and wanting tol put your best foot forward. It is what it is. The fact that Kate went and got her hair done is making a mountain out of nonstarter, Second of all, this is one of the first times she has come out in publ.ic for this charity. How many hours has she worked behind the scenes? We will never know. Finally, I don’t think that William would have been there supporting Kate if there was not an understanding between them. The fact that he was with the Middletons after the event shows the deepening relationship between him and Kate. Finally, something that was telling is the fact that Harry joined them. This was not done at the last event that Kate hosted. It seems that William is showing that he is supporting her. Nolne of this would be happening if he did not love her a lot.
October 3rd, 2009 20:49
Mapleleaf,
I do understand what you mean. Also, thanks for the compliment.
Just understand that I am tired of the fighting and just wish it would all end. I guess the best way for it to end is for there to be an engagement/wedding between Kate and PW.
However, you did say that you thought a wedding would only mark the beginning of more rounds of fighting!
I am not sure how much more I can take! I really hate the fighting.
October 3rd, 2009 21:24
everybody i think that Kate Middleton will not getting engage with pw wont stop the negative comments about her
October 3rd, 2009 21:39
Good Night All,
Clover I’m with you, I’m tired of the fighting too. I guess the main reason why our undies gets all twisted is because Kate cannot speak up for herself. She’s not allowed to say one thing about herself and her relationship. The only thing she can do is ignore the bull. I do think we should follow her lead but it’s hard when your constantly coming across such total nonsense. I personally don’t like to see anyone suffer the way Kate has suffered publicly. No matter what, Kate keeps her head held high and she seems to be winning the battle. I have to remind myself that this girl will be okay despite the obsticals thrown her way.
I like you Clover can’t wait until the announcement is made, the celebrations get started and the wedding day arrives. She still will receive harsh criticism like other members of the royal family but at least she will have a voice of her own.
LOL, alpha-d that just mean that we have to patiently wait for the couple to give us the OFFICIAL 411!!!
October 3rd, 2009 21:48
One small correction, it’s undies for the girls and underwear for us guys.
Lets just not get them twisted anymore and keep the peace.
October 3rd, 2009 22:19
Rman,
Great post!
I really believe an engagement and wedding would be the LAST WORD. What can anyone say once PW marries Kate? As a Princess and royal family member everyone, like it or not, will have to accept her. THE END.
I am trying very hard to keep the peace. I do understand why you defend Kate the way you do.
October 3rd, 2009 22:55
Guest,I agree with you 100%.
I suggest we hold our heads high and not allow a few people from a very negative,nasty site ruin this great site!
October 3rd, 2009 23:04
I haven’t been keeping up with things-buzy at work, colmputer on the blink-the bottom line is that everyolne has an opinion. It seems like this site was a gathering place for those who are in support of William and Kate. However, there are those whose opinions run contrary to that. Unfortunately that causes conflict. For those people, there won’t be any resolution no matter what. When William and Kate get married, they will jump on any bit of conflict between them, So it up to those of us who are positive about William and Kate to just relax and realize that things will be revealed in time. No one is going to change anyone’s mind pro or con.So let’s enjoy the event last weekend.
Patience is a virtue or so they say. Let’s think good thoughts. Rman you are staunch in your support of William and KJate. You have your beliefs in William and Kater. If they do read the forums, they are I am sure appreciating yours and others support.
October 4th, 2009 03:01
Hello,
I’m not able to post as often as I used to but manage to keep up with the trend.
I believe that something I mentioned months ago is very prevalent now and may even be more acceptable to many other guys.
The less we say or post about PW and KM the less attraction it has for these slobs and therefore the less they post. They have this
weird state of mind which requires them to contradict all that is thought, posted and discussed about PW and KM and most especially on this site as it’s identified as an easy entry point to contradict the truth, or at least what is known of the truth, about the relationship.
This is just something I identified several months ago when several of the regular posters were away or resting and the number of negative posts reduced by a much higher proportion. As we regulars gradually started posting or expressing our thoughts again so the number of derogatory posts increased.
I believe they adopted this methodology on
other blogs in the past and were stamped on very hard and virtually banned, so they moved to this more liberal site to intensify their twisted and hateful comments especially against KM’s family members, which is the most hateful of their twisted mentalities.
If we therefore stop inflaming them they will stop reponding and vanish in the way we would all like them to do so and we may theb get back to what we had.
Bye guys.
October 4th, 2009 05:20
Ked, I totally agree with you, but my english is not good enough to express it that way. So thank to have done it for me !!! I AGREE
October 4th, 2009 06:49
Great post, Ked. All very true…
October 4th, 2009 08:48
Criticism of fund-raising events for spending money in order to raise money, and the idea that all the money should go to charity is as old as the New Testament. Therefore, although I don’t agree, this criticism is legitimate. However, attributing the expenditure to the spender’s laziness is at best illogical and at worst, totally bizarre, and therefore, not legitimate. I agree with Katherine: the basis for the criticism is some unresolved problem with the criticizer.
October 4th, 2009 10:08
Ked,
I hope for more posts from you that are full of information about Kate and William, they were usually fun to read. I am not sure where this last post comes from or is going, but I really miss your old style of talking about KM and PW.
I hope to see more of the old style posts soon.
October 4th, 2009 14:01
Ked, I hope you won’t let those with several loose screws stop you from posting because I look forward to your comments.
Just to reiterate what I said in my post at #11. I had never heard of Starlight until the Middleton’s got involved and we had never received any info through the post before. So good for the Middleton’s on that one.
As for ‘Kate promoting’ herself, frankly that is the most silliest thing I have ever heard. In England there are many who are involved in charity work. Including the wives and girlfriends of known celebrities. I see nothing wrong with that. If it gleans publicity for that charity then more power to them.
By the way, next weekend I shall be attending a social event which is in aid of a local special needs school. I’ve booked my hairdressing appointment and have already bought a new outfit. Do I feel guilty????? NOT!
Everyone, take note the shooting season is well and truly underway therefore retreating to their country estates which usually lasts up until next Spring. So I guest the next invasion of ‘Katie Haties’ will be posting their beliefs that W & K have split up because they haven’t been seen together for sometime.
Be Warned and stay
October 4th, 2009 20:14
A rageaholic is a rageaholic, its not us, it’s Kate that get them all worked up. Got to read twice all the crap against her, it all comes down to green and jeleous.
October 5th, 2009 07:54
Good morning guys,
Kate is featured on the cover of the new Hello! As soon as the digital version is available,I will purchase it and post what is in it. Here is the link to the cover for you.
http://www.hellomagazine.com/
October 5th, 2009 10:40
Thanks Lisa!
I found a blog entry that sums up nicely Party Pieces’ partnership with Starlight…
http://britishroyals.ann2.net/?p=72
What I found really interesting was that over this summer, Party Pieces has been continuing to provide party packs! Starlight’s website says so. Their party application forms even has Party Pieces’ logo on it. I think it’s wonderful that PP has been involved with Starlight even behind the scenes.
October 5th, 2009 10:58
Thanks for the links,dagsi. Starlight is a great charity and I am happy that PP continues to support it. Hopefully Kate will be in a position in the future to really help them in a big way.
October 5th, 2009 11:49
OK, guys, I have purchased the digital version of Hello. There are not new pictures but the article is a good read and offers some new info. I am not going to risk messing with copyright laws by posting it but I will recap for you.
As we already know,Issa did Kate’s dress and Pippa’s as well,which was a sequined number that cost more then Kate’s at nearly 1500 pds and is from harrods.
They talk about the event and the auction in which Carole spent bug bucks to get a dinner for 8 I think by Gordon Ramsey. The auction raised 120,000 pds.
They discuss the little girl who performed and her story a bit.
Kate and William were one of the last to exit the event. Michael Middleton and James hosted their own table. Kate hosted a table for 10.
The article quotes William saying “Its great so much money has been made for such a worthwhile cause”
They also have a short article talking about Kate’s style,fashion,make up hair etc, which I found interesting. She does very little to her hair except a little color and does not like to make it look over done. her bracelet was Swarovski. Kate is apparently allergic to Nickle and can only wear gold or silver.
Overall it was a good article. It was good that they highlighted the charity and the little girl who sang and not just talked about Kate,William.
I am still looking at the mag so if anything else pops up or if I forgot something,I will post again.
October 5th, 2009 12:11
Thanks, Lisa – I was just coming over to this site to say that Kate was on the cover of Hello!, and to ask if someone could say what was in the article. That’s the problem with getting their e-mails – if the cover looks good, you can’t get the article.
October 5th, 2009 12:21
Thank you for telling us about the article, Lisa. And dagsi, that’s an interesting link. Thanks. Yes, it IS wonderful that PP is involved with Starlight.
October 5th, 2009 19:50

October 5th, 2009 20:05
Thanks to Lisa and Mapleleaf.
Mapleleaf, I too wonder why the press really don’t mention Kate and her family’s firm involvement with charities? If they had been printing this information before, maybe people wouldn’t have their knives out for this family.
I look forward to seeing what Kate and this committee will do next.
October 5th, 2009 20:52
Thanks for the links and info, everyone! I’m quite impressed with Kate and Party Pieces for these charity associations.
Rman, I think the reason why the press hasn’t mentioned these Starlight involvements in depth is quite simple: THEY DIDN’T KNOW. And I think that’s the way it should be done. If PP announced their every charity work with a loud trumpet, Kate would be blasted as a desperate show off. But I’m glad for their involvement… and for their discretion.
October 5th, 2009 21:06
Perhaps you are right dagsi, they didn’t know about the family’s involvement. I do see your point. I’m happy this foundation is being recognized.
October 5th, 2009 21:10
I think it is quite possible that the Middletons want to keep their connection to Starlight low key in order to avoid accusations that Kate used her connections to promote Starlight. Lets face it,these people can do no right in the eyes of some people,which is quite sad and I am happy they seem to take it all in stride and push on. Some of the comments I have read on the internet regarding Kate and Carole recently are disgusting to say the least. Thankfully most of them are from one site which seems to be filled with hateful angry people so I take it with a grain of salt and move on. I think in the end, the cream will rise to the top.
October 5th, 2009 21:30
Since the Middletons can’t do anything right in some people’s eyes, it’s best that they didn’t advertise their involvement. Kate would be accused of being involved for all the wrong reasons.
And Lisa, you said it best — cream rises to the top. Just wait until the engagement is announced — that should curdle a sad pint or two. Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The DM has resurrected and recycled the Uncle Gary story in three, count ‘em, three new articles. Won’t post a link because it’s the same old trash.
October 7th, 2009 15:51
Phoebe,
There are NO Uncle Gary stories in the DM. I am not sure what you are talking about. Maybe they were removed? Are your sure you saw them in the DM?
October 7th, 2009 15:59
Well, here’s one.
http://tinyurl.com/ldr58f
The byline says October 7, 2009, although the article appears to be the original published back in the summer.
October 7th, 2009 16:01
I think the dates are screwed up, but these articles come up as the most recent on KM and her family.
October 7th, 2009 16:59
Hi guys,
Just a quick word, I had came this Hello! artical but I can’t view it. It’s on W&K so can someone please tell us what this artical is saying?
http://tinyurl.com/y9lgv9p
Later.
October 7th, 2009 17:18
Phoebe I was able to see the 3 articles, and you are right, the byline says 7 October, but the article itself AND the comments are all from this past July.
There’s even a statement at the bottom that says no more comments are being accepted. It’s really strange, I read all 3 articles through completely to see if they contained any new information and they don’t. The information in the articles is the exact same wording and paragraphs that were published in July. It’s really strange. Something else that’s strange is the fact that the comments have been turned off for those 3 articles.
I’ve seen articles in the DM that were over 5 years old, and those articles still allowed new comments to be posted. It’s strange that the DM reposted those old articles with a new date, and turned the comments off. I wonder if this has been done because of some sort of legal action against the Daily Mail?
Because I noticed as well that there are a lot fewer comments now than when the articles were originally published. I think a lot of the comments were removed. There is a sentence at the top of the comments that says the comments have been ‘moderated’.
Most of the DM’s articles have a sentence at the top of the comments that says the comments have NOT been moderated. I think this was done to satisfy some sort of legal pressure or coercion, possibly brought to bear by Harbottle & Lewis.
October 7th, 2009 17:22
Phoebe,
Thanks! I found them and the date does say October 7, 2009 BUT the text is identical to what they ran in July. For example,
“Prince William was last night forced to cut ties with Kate Middleton’s uncle after he was filmed giving hard drugs to an undercover reporter.”
So, there is NOTHING NEW being reported here, just a re-posting of an old article. Also, the articles are literally buried and one must work to find and will look for them if they know to look for them.
NOTHING new here.

The articles are not that buried. Do a search on “Middleton” and they come up at the top of the heap, whether you are searching by relevance or most recent. But, giving the DM the benefit of the doubt, probably someone coded the date backwards, i.e, as we would do it in the states, “07/10/2009″, and that was picked up as October 7, 2009.

You’re correct Phoebe. They are not buried. Maybe KN was suffering withdrawal symtoms after reading some of the nicer recent articles about Kate and the powers that be at DM decided to rehash some old trash.

the article is buried it should be in and i think the dm making out of cash out of it

As fond as I am of godiva’s, I am going with Phoebe’s intution on this one. Its too bizarre and pathetically unprofessional otherwise…

Phoebe,
For me the articles were buried. My personal experience was that I could not find the articles easily. I came back here and posted that I could not find them and then you provided me with a link. Our personal experiences do not need to match for you they were not buried for me they were hard to find, that is what makes the world interesting.
Thanks for the link!

Sure Rman,
anything for you! But I hope you don’t mind that I always put a watermark on my scans.

LOL, no I don’t mind Mapleleaf. I look forward to reading the scans.

Well it looks like Mapleleaf won’t have to scan the artical after all, thanks Mathilde.
I believe there’s a plan for William & Kate to become a more hands on duo. I think they will end up doing some great work together.

It took me a long time to get the article scanned, I’m glad you were able to provide a pic for everyone to see and read the article.
