Yes, maybe that’s the way it should be, but when she is out with William is she fair game for the media or not? If you’re a private person with a public figure, think you have to expect the intrusions and be ready for them. And being associated with William (very high profile in Britain with...

^ those dogs look like they are being treated like kings now! :lol: It looks like a PR 'shoot' as opposed to a pheasant shoot! It would be interesting to know how far away these photographers are. Are the grounds not big enough for them to hunt in privacy without being seen or are these...

If there is any kind of understanding between them and marriage is still several years off, Kate probably should be doing something to shed the Waity Katy tag. I think this does matter, particularly to the generation that she is equivalent to and would be most involved and growing with, as a...

OK, though I am on the side with Ysbel above, that she has always been known with her shortened name, Kate. I just don't see why the press would refer to her differently if this wasn't the case; no doubt the paparazzi call her name out when she is seen in public and am guessing they are not...

lol, i've never heard of on/off relationships used as much as this term is used in the British media for describing the princes and many British celebs, with respect to who they are dating!

Why do some call her Catherine? It may be her long name or a middle name, but if the British press always print her as 'Kate', as does Clarence House from time to time (paparazi complaints, etc.) then that is what her name is! Are they all wrong on something as primary in reporting as this...

Yeah, I think they aren't really together in a serious way as the tabloids would like people to think. Because, would you really believe that they could continue in this manner for another 2-3 yrs if it was serious?

It must date back to medieval times, when Kings and Princes led their armies into wars. And, some lost their lives in battle. Now it just seems to be symbolic, but something that is required of heirs to the throne. But as a custom for senior royals to do this, if they are never going to be...

That’s an interesting viewpoint as I tend to see the opposite! ;) Now I'm not even sure they’re really together beyond friends. Maybe that’s the way they want it, hidden in efforts to keep a lower profile but it doesn’t sound like it is working in Britain, where they will always be daily...

In Harry's case this is only partially true, imo. If he were not a prince in the BRF, he would be in Iraq right now with his troop unit that was deployed back in May or June. Now, if he was very clearly informed that he might not serve in a combat role because of who he is when he joined the...

Yes, hopefully Kate Middleton is taking some notes as she wags around London!

There should be no reason why William (and Harry) can't be sent to Afghanistan or Iraq and do military support work within the safety of the main bases, rather than wasting time at regiment bases in Britain. Yes, they are probably not doing legitimate work at their current home-based postings...

I agree that the public does not/should not know everything about the Royal family. However, the way in which they handle the media has been anything BUT shrewd, imo. More like a disaster! The Royal Family and/or their advisors are well behind the times when it comes to media relations. They...

Yes, hope he waits too and dates some other women during that time. There are more pictures of party girl Kate from clubs this week, I'm starting to wonder if they really are together beyond friends?

British news 'journalism' will improve. :lol: Indeed, that alone might just make Britons turf the monarchy!

But it appears that the difference between Kate and most other girls in the same situation, Kate has nothing to fall back on and is just .... waiting! No viable job/career. Seemingly no personal ambitions, plans (otherwise the British press would have reported on this by now), so she seems to...

I tend to think Charles managed to lose a good deal of respect entirely on his own. Among many foot-in-mouth moments, one of his infamous quotes comes to mind, "Whatever love is". :rolleyes:

Well, as the modern world continually moves forward the monarchy is gathering dust. If it is going to be irrelevant and outdated beyond being just a tourist attraction then it should be dissolved. A tourist attraction involving real people and not characters (ie. Disneyland), and for the press...

She has definitely met Charles before. Think she was in the Royal Box for the big horse race one year (the one with everyone in hats). It is too bad that the RF wants to remain as the old-fashioned establishement with the direct heirs choosing conservative women as wives. In todays modern...

Actually, they have never met and the picture in that book is a fake! The picture is originally from 2005 and of Bill Gates recieving his Knighthood from the Queen, with his wife looking on. The book photo cuts out Gates and photoshops Kates head on his wife! Disgusting that so-called royal...

In some circumstances that could be true, but the British tabloids are generally favorable to Kate and promote her because they want ‘the royal wedding’. And given who she is dating, a bonafide job or career would most certainly have been reported in some way as that would be a positive for her...

she is definitely glamorous! Glam and 'beautiful-mysterious' is the image she projects for me and it looks like everyone wants to be photographed with her now. Of all the young royals, she is quickly becoming the most interesting to follow.

Hi, my first post after registering in the summer! :flowers: … BOT, I don’t think that is the reason at all (public envy of her position). Probably moreso, many royal watcher's/publics impression of Kate stems from comparisons with young women who can be considered as equivalents to her (ie...
