He is his Mother’s son. He sure looks like a Spencer.

I think she did it out of respect for him. You notice that she just didn’t give a small ‘whatever’ curtsey but it was a deep and proper curtsey. You really don’t see people giving that kind of curtsey anymore.

Vanessa Redgrave looked upon Prince William with love and respect and recalled how his Mother had once given her an award. Tears shone in his eyes when she mentioned his mother. Hers was a great example of how you can honour certain people without giving homage to an institution. There was electricity between Redgrave and William with mutual admiration glowing.

Yes, Rman, William is still really busy with meaningful engagements. Thanks for the links.That’s an attractive blindfold he is wearing at the archery. Nice he was able to outshine the BAFTA stars.

Here’s the video of Corporal Simon Brown asking about the wedding:

I imagine it gets annoying being asked the same question over and over – but in this guy’s case, I don’t think William cared. The guy was just making a small joke. Anyway, he’s going to have to get used to it – as soon as he gets married, people will be asking when he’s going to start a family.

I think PW knows exactly what he is doing when he answers questions about his engagement and marriage. He has to know his every word on the subject is scrutinized so, IMO, he has decided to give a non answer as an answer every time someone brings up the topic. This may come back to haunt him in the future but it does keep everyone on their toes as far as his marital status is concerned.

“There may not be a royal wedding for sometime”

LOL…poor Waity Katey. The problem with W&K relationship is that poor Waity Katey put all her pathetic eggs in one unstable basket. Kate is loyal, undeniably head over heels in love with William, discreet, with untainted past. William knows she fit the mold perfectly. Unfortunately for her, the guy will be dragging this relationship on for a long time.

I think the sad part about all of this is that people just see this has a way to trash Kate Middleton on the internet even more.

I really do think William is just saying that a wedding will not take place this year because he has 7 months of training to get through and it’s way too early to talk about a wedding invitation. He was very nice and funny about it with Corporal Simon Brown and not at all upset about the joke.

I think bad part is that people continue to have a major issue with Kate’s job at Party Pieces. They don’t think it’s a fulfilling job for her, they think it’s too safe and they think all she is doing is waiting around for a proposal. In other words, people want her to live the life THEY think is best for her. I personally think the record should be set straight in the media. I know people will continue to think the wrong things but I really do think the whole situation should be set straight. The British tabs have given Kate a very bad rep and nothing is really being done about it. Something has to give here. If this will drag on unofficial for another year, the PR must kick in and the truth must be told. It’s insane to let this craziness carry on.

“It’s just a wild thought but it seems that the press is trying to get William to make a declaration.”

Not so wild. The press is and has tried to play that game with the Middletons: repeatedly savaging them trying to force them to talk. Their silence drives the tabs NUTS.

If it is true that she is working with/for her family that is great.

It’s a really great training for her. A royal family is a family firm. Her working for her parents is a perfect example on how she can do working for the British Royal family.

Based on news/blog/etc; she works for her family, promote their party pieces (ex: that roll-skate charity), she support other charities, she is loyal, and patient. She might not seem ambitious; but that is actually a great thing for her image. (If she were ambitious- she would have had more negative stories: gold digger, show-off, and many more). For the most part she conduct herself very well in public.

Most importantly, the fact that both her and Pr.William are taking the slow route to marriage indicates stability, security, maturity, and wisdom.

Rman,
Take heart. The bottom line is that everyody is looking for answers. The press is not looking kindly on Kate, Folr example in almost every article about the Bafta awards, they mentioned that Kate was not there, Like she had a choice due to royral protocol, The press knows that. I frmly believe that Wllam and Kate love eacholther. What the press says will not matter once William Kate declare their love for eacch olther. Willam even said in due tme. I’ve got to go. Thnk good thoughts. Good night all.

William is not nice to Kate. He has to know that an answer like that will lead to several negative headlines, articles, blogs and comments for Kate. Why doesn’t he at least try to help her?

Dv, great post! Hadn’t thought of that angle of KM working for her family!

He could have said, in a joking manner, ” I’ll keep you in mind”, or something like that. What he said, IMO, was stupid and shows that he still has a tin ear when it comes to the public. He can’t not know that everyone is salivating for a wedding. His “people” need to have a serious talk with him.

Good Morning,

True I would have prefer to say something else but I really do think he was saying that it’s too early to talk abour wedding invitation for a 2011 wedding. Right now I think all William have on his mind is his training, this trip to Africa with Harry and just stuff he has to get through this year. We have to look at the list of things that is being planned out for this year. Talking about a royal wedding was jumping too far ahead. He joked about it and that was fun.

What’s not fun to see is the attacks on Kate due to those words William uttered.

Well Lisa, I really do respect William’s private life and I think it’s beautiful that the couple has remained in love all these years. I also like that William is stepping up his game and taking on a more important royal role. I totally understand the royal team at St. James’s are mainly focusing on the princes. I just hope Lisa that this wedding will take place next year. I do understand that William have a lot on his plate this year and he’s not thinking about wedding invitations right now but i’m just think about Kate now. William is fine, he’s protected behind the palace walls and it’s seen okay for him to make these comments but my thoughts are with Kate. A person who has no voice of her own and no one really bothers to straighten out the ill information that is out there about her. The team could still focus on the princes and still somehow state some facts about Kate too. I’m just thinking about a person that is stuck between a rock and hard place.

Yeah it’s coming but not this year. I just dislike the mean remarks but I’ve got my fingers crossed for next year. Here’s the Telegraph article on it:

Yes there will always be those who can’t stand to see happy couples and have to rant and rave about them. I doubt we will wait much longer for an engagement.

Pippa has been spotted at fashion week at the Issa event. No photos yet.

Lisa thanks for letting us know. Here are three pictures of Pippa, James, Beatrice & Dave at the Issa show:

Why is Dave Clark’s mouth always wide open? It’s really annoying.

This is the link, i clicked the wrong thing.

Its to bad KM is not at the Issa fashion show – you know she would like to be but we know what would happen if she was.

Interesting – I never thought about the media
possibly trying to annoy the Middletons or Kate into making a public statement. It does make sense.

Good Evening,

I still think their wedding will take place next year and that was what William was talking about. We are in the beginning of 2010 and there’s so much being planned for this year and a wedding is not on the agenda at this time. That is most likely what he was getting at. If you really think about it, his remark was basically the same as the remark he made in Australia. We just have to wait and see. It’s not that far off my friends, we just have to get through this year.

kd, it would have been nice if Kate could have joined her sister and brother at the show but Kate’s public appearences seems to be very controlled. It seems like she only make appearences when it’s necessary.

I do think Kate need more public support from William. She gives so much with very little in return in my opinion and it one of the reasons why we get these confusing articles.

I wonder if Charlotte Casiraghi was there.

i love the pics of bea and dave especially james and pippa sorry i i’m having a trouble in the net by using blackberry be back tommorow evening bye im sleepy

What do poeple expect PW to say about a wedding – yea, it will be in June! He is saying what every public person says about their private relationship. It has nothing to do w/KM & him not marrying. They know exactly when it is going to happen. There is no waity katy. Personaly I think it is KM that has put off the wedding for so long. Who would want to live that kind of fishbowl life?

Lisa my friend, I really have no doubt that William really loves Kate and She really loves him. I do believe they are doing just fine. I think William should know by now that his girlfriend need more public support. Over the years Kate has made a great deal of sacrifices for her relationship with William. She has never talked to the press about their relationship, when the world came crashing down on her after the short split, Kate was even offered a great amount of money to talk but she just ignored it all. The media ate her and her family alive during that time (haven’t stopped since) and I’m sure there were nights of frustration and screams under her pillow but she never uttered a word to the press to defend her family. Her family also haven’t talked to the press about the relationship and what they think about the scrutiny they face on a regular bases. Kate has remained very supportive of William’s military career. She puts up with him being away for long periods of time but she’s always there for his end achievements. She now fully understand his royal role and his commitment to royal duties. The protocol that prevents her from taking part next to him. Kate also give William the love, friendship and care that he needs and that’s beautiful. I just think he should be bending over backwards more to give her some public support. Mention how much she means to you or what a great job she did for the charity roller disco. I’m not saying that he should pour his heart out to the media (I understand the privacy issue) but after all this time, she really do deserve some public praise for the strength she has shown over the years.

Yes I think her appearences are controlled. Maybe this is fully her doing or maybe William’s team has given her some advice. She is close to them so I’m sure they will give her advice if she asks.

Lisa, I have never seen so much hate directed towards a royal girlfriend and her family in all my days following the royal family. There were talk about Diana’s family, Sarah’s family, Sophie’s family but never like the Middleton family. Over the years there has been so much misinformation and crap printed about them it’s not even funny. The comments (although just repeats) have a way of being so hurtful and just rude. All though this, the Middletons still remain silent about it. Sure there has been some articles that have come to their defence a bit but in my opinion, no one can do it better than William and the royals. He could at least say something about them and just express some appreciation publicly. I have no doubt that he does privately. They just wouldn’t be able to carry on without some private support from him.

I do hope the royals appreciate the sacrifices this family has made for William and them. The Middletons are not perfect but they are trying their best to be supportive to the couple, not letting the media get under their skin (I think it does privately) and they are trying to not mess things up for Kate. Kate really do have a great family and so much support but there’s a lack of appreciation going on here and to me, it’s just not right.

I have showed the styled comments and that site to a professional psychologist friend, he said zenophobic – hate towards strangers – repeated constantly – jeleousy mirrored because of Kate and the relationship with William.

KM & her family are truely a class act.
