I have become increasingly more respectful of William and Harry. In the lastest photos of them, they seem much more mature and very diplomatic
towards everyone in their family. The seem many years older than their chronological age. Good for them!!!

Will William be At the Order of The Garter?

i dont know if he will still at sandhurst or he will do world cup maybe he will attend at order of the garter we have wait and see if he there or not!

I am very happy for William and his new love Kate Middleton. They both really seem to deal with the press very good. I wish them the best of luck in their relationship!

Kate Middleton has elevated herself to a whole new level in terms of how she deals with the press these days. She is dressed much better than ever, she only wears flattering clothes, has perfect hair, makeup and acessories. She is fully engaged in the media attention now. A part of me hates to see the transition from naive student-type to London-glamor-girl.

There is a comment piece in today's Daily Mail saying how if William had time off to play polo on Saturday he really should have been instead at Trooping the Colour as it was such a special occasion with it being the Queen's 80th birthday celebrations.I tend to agree but it also goes on to say that the polo match was for charity do I suppose that's one plus!

William Puts Kate (and Polo) Before Duty

To skydragon
At what time was the game played and when was the Trooping over?
I had seen somewhere that the game started at 12:00.


William Puts Kate (and Polo) Before Duty
Sunday, 18 June 2006
The mystery of why Prince William wasn't on duty at the
Trooping The Colour ceremony on Saturday has been solved.
The Prince, who celebrates his 24th birthday on Wednesday, was at
a polo match not far from London with girlfriend Kate Middleton.
The Sunday Express is one of several newspapers to publish images
of William and Kate at Ham Polo Club in Surrey.

Hilariously, the paper publishes a photo of Kate's hair or face
being touched by a member of William's staff, Jamie Lowther-
Pinkerton, with a caption underneath reading: "....sharing an
intimate moment with her boyfriend's private secretary".
Tickets to attend the Chakravarty Cup match cost £1,000 each. By
the end of the day around £150,000 had been raised for The Prince's
Trust and other charities.
Businessman Saroj Chakravarty, who gave his name to the trophy
when he founded the annual event in 1997, said of the 24-year-old
who could one day be Queen: "I had a few exchanges with Kate. She is a very nice girl and very glamorous."

i think that Prince William will marry Kate Middleton after he finishes at Sandhurst. Which makes complete sense really.

i think they have already got engaged but they r not telling anyone until they are ready to get married. i dont think prince william would want to put his girlfrined through all the media publicity while he is in sandhurst unable to be by her side and protect her

I agree!! William's intentions must be serious for him and Kate to come this far into their relationship. William, I agree with you, would not have led Kate in this deep without having the most serious of intentions. They will have a long engagement and they will get married eventually.

I had heard the polo match was actually a charity match in which funds were donated to the Prince's Trust Foundation (or whatever it's called) this could be why he was there rather then at the Trooping of the Colour. Couldn't it? Maybe he was doing his part at the charity...

I think it would have been very awkward for William to be at the trooping, as an Officer Cadet now that Harry is an Officer, the poor thing would have been saluting left right and center. As you say the polo match was for charity, which would have been more acceptable to the OC and other cadets at Sandhurst rather than a birthday bash, even if it was for the Queen.

Does anyone know what are his plans for his Birthday?

[coolgirl]

yeah, i heard so too.

oops, we've already spoiled kate's surprise party for PW.

 

[kpusa1981]

Were the pics of Kate leaving CH taken on Saturday or Sunday night?
Ie it been Monday morning William would have been back to Sandhurst no later than 12:00 Midnight.

 

[kpusa1981]

Is it my imagionation or were there more pics or Harry doing Sandhurst activies in his first 5.5 to 6 months there than there has been of William?

Naturally have been more pics of doing royal related things duties etc.

 

[CasiraghiTrio]

Really? I always thought they are very alike.

Both of William's parents are/were right-handed, I thought, and Harry is right-handed, so William is the one Wales leftie. Charles also passed to William many mannerisms, his voice, and his body-type (the long torso).

 

[kpusa1981]

Were there more pics Harry doing Sandhurst activies in his first 5.5 to 6 months there than there has been of William?

Does everyone else think that too.

I think there was more news about Harry, sometimes for the wrong reasons though and security is tighter around William.

Oh. Maybe Iam a little late, but has the party already taken place or will we (luckily ) get to see some photos? Thanx for answering.

 

[ysbel]

I seriously doubt if William and Harry are competing about which one of them is getting in the papers more.

Britain's Prince william's rifle gift.. also Kate gave him the lamp what strange gift????

[Chiyo]

Well, if you're looking for something to give the man with everything, I guess a genie lamp is the way to go!

I tend to like quirky gifts like that.

 

[karla64]

[Chiyo]
