Karla, more intriguing is: do you and your friends at the “other” site believe the story? Let me guess.
Fantastic find, Rman!
I wasn’t too surprised that BBC demoted media attention to the minor royals status. I know this may not be popular, but I firmly believe that the existence of the monarchy is dependent on a complete overhaul. I wish they would take up a more liberal model of monarchy like in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. I’ve read that the Windsors see themselves as more superior to other regal families of Europe, but cleaning house and down-sizing may be the future for them. I don’t see what good other minor royals have done, besides the Princess Royal.
Other than that, seems like the same ‘ole muck-raking too me. Drudging up Harry’s past and the Kate/Diana song and dance, “Unless Kate Middleton – or a future girlfriend of William’s in a Di mould – can bring back the Di factor I really think the monarchy itself will soon die a death.” Kate is no Diana and I’m sure she will use the Di guidelines but the can only be one Diana.
Well we know the royal family will be down-sizing soon, Prince Andrew just mentioned that in his birthday interview. The monarchy is heading towards change.
Everyone must face that Diana brought her own unique qualities to the royal family and no there will never be anyone like her again. Kate will bring her own unique qualities to her royal role. I’m very interested in getting to know Kate for the first time. Over the years the media has sent out tons of mixed messages about her and it has caused a great deal of confusion over the internet. Once the engagement is announced, interviews are given, facts are released and the truth is revealed, the real Kate Middleton will emerge in the worlds view.
Well, that’s good news! I’ve been out of the loop for a month or so. New addition to the family, so not much time for a spoonful of royal gossip.
I wish the press would stop with the comparisons. I know it’s going to happen, but at some point it’s just boring to read about the same things over and over. I expect everyone is tired of it too. More ‘wait and see’ I suppose. LOL!
i think that maybe they mixed them the story of km and pw of puppy story because the paparazi will n0t get anything from km and william i think that km will build good quality of a future princess and i think that comparison princess diana and kate middleton is that they both love prince william good evening..

Hello,
I’m not sure how CH confirmed that KM doesn’t have a puppy. She does but it may be the family puppy rather than hers personally.
Everything else is as good as story as one expects from the perennial M/s N.
However the plan to rejuvenate PW and the elimination of KM’s popular domination as suggested by CH in July 2007 has certainly worked .
However if the PW/KM alliance is to work out eventually then at some stage the reinstatement of KM will have to start before an engagement is announced.
It will be interesting to observe how the mandarins go about it because PW’s stubborn attitude and wilful disposition has certainly clarified his intentions towards KM despite his puzzling and officially neglectful attitude towards her over the past 3/4 years.
Then there will be the attitudes of some ‘senior’ Royals who still apparently believe that KM may bring similar problems as others before her.
It will certainly be interesting to watch both official and respectable public reaction rather than hysterical ‘news hack’desperate attempts to increase circulation over the next few years.
sigh… just tell me Ked, where exactly did you get the information that there has been a plan at work at CH to rejuvenate PW and eleminate KM’s domination? And what do you mean by ‘his puzzling and officially neglectful attitude’? That certainly didn’t show at the wings and garter ceremonies, or the countless times they have been pictured on the polo field or at events during the night time.
Good morning guys,
Well, this latest stunt buy Katie Nicholl in which she writes a completely false story about a dog that Kate does not even own eating pearl earring from Prince William should teach us all a good lesson. We need to stop believing the words of these tabloid writers because they write trash to sell papers and to get their names out there as royal experts.
Below is a link to a tweet buy the royal reports,Richard Palmer,who confirms that a friend of Kate called him to shoot down this dumb story. Sadly it was before this pack of lies was picked up by major outlets in the US such as The NY daily news, USA today and the Chicago tribune.
The writer and the paper should be ashamed of themselves.
http://twitter.com/RoyalReporter
I do think that Kate is beginning to get some support in the PR dept. The lawsuit over the pictures had to be supported by the RF or she would not have pursued it. Now a friend of hers (allegedly) has contacted a reporter to shoot down a false story. It may be small but it is progress. I also think,and this may seem small to some,that William and Kate shopping together in London this past friday was more signifigant then it might seem. If someone can name another time where William was seen out amongst the public with Kate,please do so,as I cannot think of any. Polo matches where she is all but hidden away do not count.

Kate has won the case against REX including an apology as well as damages that have been donated to charity.
http://www.rexfeatures.com/apology
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/greenslade/2010/mar/11/privacy-news-agencies
Interesting how the apology states that the photographer followed the family and took pictures on the 24th and 25th. The pictures that were published appeared to be taken the same day at the tennis game,so obviously there were more photos that never got out but were taken. He probably followed them to Cornwall thinking they were headed to Sandringham.
Good Morning,
I’m glad to hear an apology has been publicly issued to Kate. I’m also glad to hear that the money is going to charity. Despite the criticism she has received by persuing this legal action, Kate stood up for her privacy and her family’s privacy and I’m proud of her.
Rman, the article you posted earlier written by Emily Hill was very interesting. I get the impression that she’s certainly no royalist (!)
I do think that a lot of the press will take the view that Kate is a public figure by association with PW and therefore has to take the rough with the smooth. I only hope that there won’t be too much of the rough stuff but I won’t hold my breath.
Glad that the money she has been awarded will go to charity. Good move on her part.
I feel as Ked does, that there has been a policy in place to keep Kate in the background and to promote Wiliam. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that there are indeed some feelings among the ‘higher ups’ that there may be problems in the future as has gone before.
Thanks also for posting those wonderful pictures of the Queen attending the Commonwealth Day service. She looked blooming marvelous!
Hi ladyB,
I have to say that Kate has accepted that there’s a great deal of interest in her because she’s the longtime companion to Prince William. When she’s in public with him she gives the photographers a nice smile and the couple give the photographers the pictures they want. That the lifestyle she has accepted or else the relationship would have never come this far. What I think people have a hard time understanding is that the paparazzi have no business invading her private space. There’s one thing to take her picture while she’s in public but it’s another when the paps are sneaking around private property to get their pictures. This is the same legal action The Queen and her lawyers would have taken if any of her family members pictures had been taken while they were on Christmas break. Kate had every right to stand up for her and her family’s privacy just like The Queen stood up for family’s privacy.
I think we all know that the team at St. James’s Palace is doing what they can to bring the Princes to the forefront of the royal family because it’s time for the Princes to take on more royal responsiblities. That’s the agenda for 2010. I know we all miss seeing Kate out and about but we must remember that in the first couple of months of the year we really don’t see much of Kate. This happended last year and the year before that. Right now Kate is in the background because she’s not officially engaged to William. I do believe that next year their wedding will most likely take place and in the beginning of 2011 we will see Kate more thanever. We just have to wait and see what the couple is planning to do this year, perhaps supporting some charities together or something. I know our friend Ked and many others are quick to write Kate off but we must remain patient because she’s not going anywhere. The main focus right now is the future king but Kate is not too far behind.
Hello,
Rman, I have never written KM off, in fact I think that I have been in her corner more than most.
I am however a realist and there is much that I, like most everyone else, do not understand.
KM has taken more flack than anyone connected to the RF possibly with the exception of the DofC but at least PC supported her, even before the possibility of their getting married.
KM as a loyal friend and confident of PW has had no support over the years from the one person who should be defending her position and many want to know why.
I recently heard that another blog has yet again brought up the comment that KM was being used to cover PW’s other activities. This comment you may remember was from a ‘noted’ Royal correspondent who added that he had known PW since he was a young boy. Why that correspondent was allowd to get away with saying that is also a puzzle and really demanded a response, if not from PW then from CH. None came, and again why?
It is these indecisive occurrences together with the fact that a majority of the negative comments about KM and her family could be linked to ‘friends of’, ‘close to BP or CH’ etc. and some even attributed directly to HM that allowed the popular press and many on the internet to continue and propagate these comments.
Yes, KM is invited by PW to his graduation ceremonies in the Army, RAF and to his Garter induction and yes they are seen out occasionally but where is that definite seal of approval? Remember almost a year before her other grandson became engaged his Girlfriend was publicaly acknowledged by HM when she was invited onto a cruise. So when will KM be similarly recognised so that the doubters will be universally silenced?
Rman please? Puzzled yes but right off no and I sincerely hope that one day all will be well but say again that it could be a lot longer than we would like it to be. There is so much baggage to be shod and a DofC type campaign by BP/CH urgently required to bring KM back to that level she occupied in the hearts and minds of all just a short three years ago.
Hello,
** write not right. sorry
Ked, I think PW and KM are doing just fine and are very wise not to respond to any negative comments made by royal correspondents or anyone else. Most of those quotes of ‘people close to the couple’ are made up and complete rubbish. Why would they respond to them, when PW and KM know perfectly well where they are in their relationship and how they feel about each other? Why would they dignify such silly stories by responding to them? Besides, it really wouldn’t help. PH has defended Chelsy in his 21st birthday interview and that didn’t make much of a difference. negative stories sell – as do positive ones, and that’s all the tabs care about.
After they get engaged there will be plenty of time for KM to show her worth, and even then she won’t get the respect she deserves from the media, because that’s the way of the world. She knows that, and she’s dealing with it, and very well might I add, with the help of PW and her family and friends.
Hello Ked,
I do agree with you that Kate does need more public support from William. I do hope that happens soon.
Ked, what Richard Kay said about ‘KM was being used to cover PW’s other activities’ was a joke and other people over the internet took that too serious. Infact when Kay said that he laughed because it was a joke. He knows, William’s family & friends know that William would not use Kate all these years to cover up some unfounded “activities”. Kate’s family wouldn’t let her get used like that and Kate wouldn’t take it. I know some people think Kate is just a pretty girl and would do anything for William but that girl is not that simple minded and she don’t have a boyfriend that would treat her like that. Without even knowing them personally, I can tell that the couple are very nice people and really do love one another. They would not have come this far if real love wasn’t involved.
We may haven’t got a picture of The Queen & Kate together but Her Majesty did publically recognize Kate by inviting her to the Order of The Garter ceremony. Kate also stood and sat with the royal family at the service.
I do agree Kate is currently going through something that no other royal girlfriend has gone through before. Sophie also went through a long courtship before her marriage to Edward but the media wasn’t all that bad back then and she did confront the press and told them to respect her space. Right now Kate is going through a battle and I wish she didn’t have to go through all of that but she is still in the running. She receives a great deal of criticism for every little thing and to be frank, I think some of the people that give her a hard time for everything head is not screwed on too tight but she keeps on going and that tells me that she’s in a relationship that’s worth fighting for and not being used.
I’m also realist and I try my best to not much attention to all this tabloid junk. I think that’s one of the reasons why people have turned on Kate so badly because they are busy listening to what the tabloids say but I’m no fool. I have been a royal watcher for some time now and I know that nothing but crap is made up about these people. I’m in Kate’s corner no matter what happens.
Most recently KN came up with this crazy story about Kate’s dog ‘Otto’ eating the pearl earrings that William gave her. It was a very colorful story and it was a bit funny too but the press needed a royal story to report and they blew this picece of fiction up.
It’s crazy but I’m hoping that she will make it.
Love the photographer’s defense.
1. Did not follow, simply showed up on a tip — I assume he means he did not “tail” her all the way from Berkshire to Cornwall
2. She even said Merry Christmas — anything short of yelling like a fishwife would be interpreted as a “welcome you here.”
:rolf:
Or the tip came from whomever tailed them from Berkshire to Cornwall.

Isn’t Kate Middleton a public figure, regardless of whether she is married to Prince William? http://www.answers.com/topic/public-figure

The rumors of William being a homosexual and using Kate as a cover are disgusting and baseless. This is the sort of FILTH that I have read at those other internet sites that exist only to attack Kate Middleton and her family. To even suggest such is actionable, in my opinion. Anyone who even repeats such rumors or questions is highly suspect and totally discounted. And I mean anyone.
BRW, you need to monitor your site even more carefully with the TRASH that is showing up here.
** BRW – OK ?? **
Why does John keep on sending the wrong transcript of Richard Kay, when in February 2009 he was corrected by Mapleleaf – he apparently didn’t like it and banned her.
The transcript of the RK decoy in the TV Doc of “William & Harry The Truth”, with JW, RK and the other third fellow:
“…’some cynics may say William is using her as a decoy so he can go away and do whatever he wants…”‘
Is being taken out of context, he does NOT say that he thinks Kate is a decoy. He is referring to the Cynics who think she is – he is probably reflecting the frustration and whatever they feel out of the relationship of W&K. The ITV video, if you watch it today compared to February 2009, you will have a laugh of the many other things spoken by the 3 guys about William and specially Harry, who they bashed as a useless do nothing and predicted won’t do anything. But isn’t he about to graduate as an Apache Pilot!!!
We have to stop citing these senseless rumors and the ‘decoy’ statement was taken too serious on the net and by those who really enjoy bashing Kate and her family.
Don’t worry Rman, the forums probably have more feuds than William and Kate ever have. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if they buahahaha on all of us!

Guys,I must be quick as I am running off to work. These rumors and false stories are a large part of why my royal watching has begun to wind down. As fun as it is,you cannot believe most of what is written and then blogs like the one at RA where he twisted RK’s words around to suit his own theory just make the whole situation worse because it feeds the other ones out there who are on this vicious mission to spread rumors and rewrite reality in regards to William and Kate.
As far and W/K go, here is where I am starting to agree with ked. I think the wait will be a long one as I have come to believe that the reason these two are not married is because neither has any desire to deal with what will come along with their marriage, i. e. the public role of them as a couple. After a short exchange with Richard Palmer yesterday morning on Twitter (my twitter,BTW, is LisaMRKS if anyone cares,lol) I have come to understand that at least some of the press and some of the public consider Kate a “public figure”.I contend that she is what the law refers to as an “involuntary public figure) After 7 years with William she has all but been hung out to dry,IMO as far as her public image is concerned and that is a shame. CH and BP act as if she does not exist, calling her a”private individual” when asked about her. Now after all this time and all the tabloid and pap abuse,she begins to fight back,assumingly with the backing of William and the RF,although,once again,they all but deny she exists. She is damned if does does and damned if she doesn’t. Every year we say “next year is the year” but “the year” never seems to come.
I also have to say that once again,I cannot disagree with ked in that in the last 18 months or so,William’s public image has been clearly the number one item on the royal agenda and I have come to believe that Kate has been asked to stand back so that can be achieved without her presence confusing the issue. It is a long process and I believe it will go on for sometime with things pretty much staying the way they are. How Kate feels about all this is anyone’s guess. I know I would be frustrated and feel boxed in. If she comes through this and they do end up married,I think they will emerge a strong entity and will have a long,successful union. I support them and pray for the best!
I agree that improving Williams image has certainly been firmly on the aganeda in the past two years – this is not surprising, after all he is the future king. I’m just surprised Ked is apparantly in the know and telling us that this has been decided at CH in july 2007, and has coincided with a decision to push Kate in the background because she’s a distraction. I’m just wondering where he got this information?
As for Kate asked to stay in the background: I don’t think that she’s been asked to do that. I think she was simply fed up with the paparazzi in London and decided to live with her parents, which has inevitably led to her leading a much more quite life. She still attends certain charity events, but it seems obvious she’s no longer interested in going to nightclubs. I think this also has a lot to do with the fact that she’s getting older and a lot of people stop caring about clubbing at her age (I know I did). And of course she has a job now which prevents her from going out during the week. I think in the weekend William and Kate prefer to spend nights in or with friends at a quiet pub than in London with the paparazzi hanging around.
oops, agenda, not aganeda

Good Evening,
Lisa, I’m still hoping that their wedding will take place next year. It’s true that no one should be surprised that William’s image has been on the roll lately, we knew this was coming because it’s time for him to step up his game. Notice we haven’t seen Chelsy since last year. The focus for 2010 is the Princes and I’m glad to see them taking on more royal responsibilities.
Rachel, our friend Ked is not really in the know but have known the same information that we have known. The team at St. James’s is currently working on William & Harry’s image that’s just where the focus is at this time. This information has been in the press for some time now.
We all know that within the first couple of months William & Kate’s public appearences are very rare, unless William is out doing royal engagements. They usually they have some kind of vacation planned for March or April. With William’s training, I really don’t know if that will happen though.
