Kate to wait a little longer as William puts Military first Posted by BRW on September 5th, 2010 at 2:38 am
Prince William is about to graduate as a search-and-rescue pilot, but the promotion spells bad news for long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton.
RAF sources have revealed that the Prince is going to have to move into barracks at RAF Valley in Anglesey after he passes out later this month.
William’s new job means Kate will now see much less of him than when he was training, as the Prince will spend up to two weeks a month on base.
A military source says: ‘The wait for Kate is going to be even longer. The truth is that over the next few months, she is going to be seeing a lot less of William as he will be spending nearly two weeks of every month on base.
Says a friend: ‘Kate’s life revolves around William and that’s what makes her happy. She will probably spend more time in Berkshire with her family when William is on operation.’ (via Daily Mail)

142 Comments »…telling friends she cannot cope with the pressure of her job and handle the intense media interest in the show.
The decision has prompted fresh debate about how she will cope as a future member of the Royal Family amid claims that courtiers are trying to suppress her independence.
Close sources say that, although she has picked out the work she wants to exhibit, including pictures of a hazy sunset and a wild seascape, the project has been put on hold.
“It’s very much still an aspiration of hers but it’s been put on the back burner. If it ever happens, it may be long after the autumn,” said one friend. “She is working full-time as a website photographer for her family’s online and catalogue party business, Party Pieces, and she’s just not got around to it.”

Kate & Wills August Wedding at Westminster Abbey? Posted by BRW on August 28th, 2010 at 2:36 am
She has waited patiently for more than seven years for Prince William to pop the question. But could Kate Middleton’s long apprenticeship as a royal bride be finally coming to an end?
According to well-placed sources, royal aides have made ‘discreet overtures’ to senior personnel at Westminster Abbey to hold a wedding there on the second weekend in August next year.
Although nothing has been set in stone, talks are sufficiently advanced for the issue to have been raised when the Queen and Prince Philip visited the Abbey on an official engagement in May, insiders say.
A St James’s Palace spokesman said last night: ‘The only people with knowledge about any future plans they may or may not have are Prince William and Kate Middleton. We are not aware of any enquiries being made.’
