Friday could bring the summer’s biggest romance news. Or it could bring nothing but Friday.
A couple of months ago, the Daily Beast’s Tina Brown dropped a few hints that, come summertime, Britain’s Prince William would finally pop the question to Kate Middleton, his girlfriend of seven years.
“A highly placed source in royal circles said that two days in June have been mysteriously blocked out on the palace diaries – June 3 and 4,” Brown wrote.
Well, that day is almost at hand (the day that may announce the day, anyway) and so far, there’s not much to tell.
A few days ago author Nicholas Davies, who penned the biography “William : King for the 21st Century ,” stoked rumors by telling Star Magazine: “William has always said he will be ready for marriage after his 28th birthday — that’s next month.”

The Daily Mail has posted more excerpts from Katie Nicholl’s new book ‘William and Harry‘…
When Harry travelled to Cape Town in April 2004 he had every intention of reconnecting with (Chelsy) after getting her contact details from Simon Diss, the mutual friend who had introduced them.
‘He got straight on the phone to her,’ recalls a friend. ‘Chelsy wasn’t impressed that he was a Prince, she just thought he was cute, so they met up.’
The chemistry was immediate. They went out with friends to a nightclub and by the end of the evening were locked in a passionate embrace on the dance floor.
The article later details the couple’s relationship while Harry was serving in Afghanistan…
They also managed to communicate intermittently via email , with Harry using the pseudonym ‘Spike Wells’. One time he wrote: ‘******* cold here. Like insanely cold bit weird!! Anyhoo, gotta go, lots of love to you, probably see you soon unfortunately for you, hehe! Laters ginge!’ In another he simply told the girl he calls ‘Chedda’ he was missing her. ‘I love you. I mis (sic) u gorgeous.’

Some excerpts have been published in today’s paper…
It was the night of the annual Don’t Walk charity fashion show – March 27, 2002 – during Prince William’s second semester at St Andrews university, when it hit him.
As Kate Middleton shimmied down the catwalk, William, 19, turned to his friend Fergus Boyd. ‘Wow, Fergus,’ he whispered. ‘Kate’s hot!’
He had paid £200 for his front-row ticket, and when Kate appeared in black underwear and see-through dress, William barely knew where to look. At a party afterwards, William made his move. He and Kate, then 20, were huddled in a corner deep in conversation. As they clinked glasses to toast her success, William leaned in to kiss her.
Kate pulled away, momentarily stunned that he had been so bold in a room full of strangers. At the time she was dating a fourth-year student, but William didn’t seem to care.
‘He actually told her she was a knockout that night, which caused her to blush,’ remembers a friend who witnessed the moment. ’There was definitely chemistry between them and Kate had really made an impression on William, but she played it very cool. She didn’t want to give off the wrong impression or make it too easy for him.’

It is often claimed that public interest in the Royal family has diminished since the days when the wedding of the Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer achieved a television audience of more than 750 million.
John Humphrys says the BBC will, however, give Prince William’s expected marriage to Kate Middleton the same level of coverage.
“I suspect we’ll mount a very similar news operation if/when William marries,” the Today presenter tells the Radio Times. (via Telegraph)
