Prince William has been spotted publicly kissing his dog, Lupo, the same number of times he has been seen kissing his wife, Kate Middleton. And the pecks he gave his puppy were candid and heartfelt, unlike the rehearsed dry smooches he gave his bride atop Buckingham Palace’s balcony in a display of contrived affection. The Royal couple have never been known for abundant PDA’s, and in the past, it was presumed they kept their distance to behave appropriately and avoid offending the Queen. But recent events suggest there may be more behind their chilly, detached brand of public coexistence.
A Couple in Love: Seeing Would Be Believing
At a charity polo match on Sunday, Prince William looked quite adorable as he nuzzled Lupo and held him like a baby. It was refreshing to see his warmer side again, since it has largely been in hiding in recent years. It was also heartwarming to see Zara Philips and Mike Tindall hugging and expressing their mutual adoration on the sidelines. It looked like a fun and casual event for all the Royals in attendance, including Prince Harry, and Peter and Autumn Philips with their young children. The photos show the youthful energy and playful love among the young Royals and their budding families – but Kate appeared awkward and excluded, like a stranger walking by with a dog that the children wanted to play with (Thanks to DOY for the links!).
She also looked like a single woman who was there alone. Without the knowledge that William is her husband and was present, who would guess that the loner walking the dog was romantically attached to anyone there? It’s clear that Zara and Mike are in love, because they behave like they are. William and Kate’s behavior, however, is cause to doubt that there is any romantic love between them. Even if they prefer not to act lovingly in public, wouldn’t a prying paparazzi capture them in a touching unguarded moment every now and then? They’ve been together for a decade, and are still practically newlyweds. Yet they’ve only been captured showing the slightest physical affection and amorous body language a small hand full of times. And they’ve never looked as relaxed, content, and blissful to be together as Zara and Mike did on Sunday. -Not when they were sober, at least. In this instance, and nearly all others, no signs of affection between the two were documented: They did not hold hands, hug, put their arms around one another, socialize much, or show even the subtlest signs that there is chemistry between them and they are in love. When William wasn’t playing polo, he chose to spend his time holding, cuddling, and kissing his cute little puppy - not his wife. Apparently, he didn’t have enough love to go around. That seems very telling about the quality of the Royal couple’s true relationship.
A Royal Mess at the Jubilee
During the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, the ever-present elephant in the room – William and Kate’s absence of affection – was more noticeable than ever. Through the river pageant, concert, Thanksgiving service, balcony scene, and closing service, William appeared mostly indifferent to his wife’s presence, and the pair were visibly disconnected. That’s practically normal for these two, but a couple that’s usually more detectably loving would appear to be in the trenches of a major marital dispute. William and Kate didn’t look angry or miserable when they spoke, and appeared very friendly and positive when they did. However, they seemed to interact so rarely – so briefly, and not with much enthusiastic joy or adoration. Largely, it appeared to be due to William: Through much of the celebration, it looked like he preferred others’ company to his wife’s and callously shunned her at times.
A notable example occurred when William and Kate sat beside the ecstatic Prince Harry at the Diamond Jubilee Concert. It was curious that in many of the released photos, William couldn’t have appeared more oblivious to Kate’s existence as he enjoyed the event with his brother. In some of them, she looked like a rejected third wheel as she sang along and waved her miniature flag.
The Royal Family’s appearance on the balcony at Buckingham Palace was powerful and incredibly meaningful, but William and Kate detracted from the message. The Queen boldly and deliberately chose to appear exclusively with members of the future monarchy (plus Prince Harry of course): The future Kings, Charles and William with their two future Queen Consorts (or so Camilla and Kate must hope). It gave the entire world a visual image of what the people of England and the commonwealth nations have to look forward to in future generations – the family affair that will represent them and provide their heads of state. But embarrassingly, William and Kate’s behavior showed anything but solidarity and a strong separation from the Royal Family’s history of marital dysfunctions. The public saw their future King barely interacting with his wife, and at times, standing an awkward arm’s length away from her. Meanwhile, she often stood close to Prince Harry and giggled tirelessly at his banter (whether he was speaking to her or not). Frankly, the entire situation – especially the abundance and duration of Kate’s attention to Harry – was puzzling and uncomfortable to witness. It was sweet of Harry to entertain Kate through her husband’s inattentiveness. However, by zeroing in on Harry so much, and acting like she was having the time of her life with him, she irresponsibly magnified the potentially dispassionate state of her marriage, demonstrated that she still does not know how to behave properly, and illuminated the possibility that it is in her nature to be adulterous – or at least, deeply conniving.
Seeking Attention Where It’s Lacking
Despite the flirtatious photos of Kate and Harry, it’s not at all likely that she would jeopardize her pampered life of fame and fashion by actually cheating on William. However, that doesn’t mean she’s above pretending to have an amazing time with another guy as though she couldn’t care less about William ignoring her – right where he is sure to observe it, and for the sake of getting his attention, making him jealous, and showing him what he’s missing. That may sound like a boldly speculative idea, but when Kate repeatedly courted the tabloids by going clubbing with William’s friends after he dumped her in 2007, it appeared she was doing just that. As painfully boring as she is, she seems to have a history of perfectly-timed pursuits of the most advantageous types of attention – the types that could have had a large hand in raising the mediocre Middleton girl to a most exceptional social position. Kate is no stunning beauty, nor is she accomplished for her age, highly intelligent, charitable, eloquent, especially talented, or from an upper class background comparable to William’s. She couldn’t be less special if she tried, and some would say she had to rely on playing these types of manipulative attention games to keep the Prince interested in her through the years. Apparently, a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do. Could it be that she still has use for such ploys?
Kate’s flamboyant, body-skimming red dress captured the attention of the media around the world and thousands of onlookers as she floated down the Thames in the Jubilee river pageant. It was one of her best – and most attention-grabbing – looks of the year, and as usual, she appeared to have spent an enormous amount of time primping for the event. It may depend on how attention-hungry she is, but the idea that she would wear something so loud to get the attention of the media and public seems odd – because she already has so much of it. What would be more logical is that she was hoping to catch the eye of someone whose attention she didn’t have.
There is a possibility that Kate’s inappropriately flashy (yet hilariously upholstery-matching) McQueen dress was a cry for William’s attention. Not only would it make perfect sense, given his growing disregard for her in public, but it wouldn’t be the first time she’s appeared to use head-turning fashion choices to intrigue him. Unfortunately for her, if it was her intention, it didn’t appear to work. It’s impossible to know what he thought, but he seemed far less in awe of her in her fiery ensemble than the onlookers, fashion critics, reporters and journalists, and her many fans. If she took his breath away, he certainly didn’t show it at the pageant. It’s expected that when a woman has spent endless hours making herself up and is wearing a showy, body-hugging, custom-made dress, the man in love with her will be visibly captivated and smitten. But William wasn’t. As usual, he often directed and walked ahead of her, did’t look her in the eye much (if at all), and appeared anything but enamored and affectionate.
Overall, the couple’s displays at the Jubilee celebrations and Sunday’s polo match deeply contradict the press-produced image that Kate is living a fantasy love story with her Prince. For one thing, when William is so distant with her in public, it suggests he’s not in love in the least and has had enough of her at home already. Kate’s behavior is less than loving too though. While she usually appears to be the rejected one, she is not often seen attempting to be affectionate with William either. It’s also difficult to imagine that behavior like wearing a distracting outfit on the Queen’s day or providing negative fuel to tabloids by appearing to flirt with Harry would please William. The situation is a problem the image-dependent couple needs to face and fix if they are to avoid giving the impression that their marriage is one of convenience and based on friendship instead of romantic love. Because right now, that’s exactly what it looks like.
There is more to come in Part II.

@ Eve:
Precisely… the thin veneer of ‘education’ and ‘breeding’ is wearing off. Carole is resorting to her most basic, primitive instincts
one take the girl out of the coal mine, but not the coal mine out of the girl
Have from a really reliable inside source that W and W DO read the blogs also the York sisters and Princess Michael of Kent. See Eve’s comment about MA Mids red dress.
Your source agrees with Eve that it was an eff-you gesture on Carole’s part? Actually, I can see that. She’s her mother, and mothers will take someone down for their child. Also makes me think that DM might have got it right when they printed that the three of them had a red/white/blue colour scheme for the Jubilee flotilla.
Bluhare – yes a definitely perceived eff off gesture. Apparently too, quite a bit of LOL a la Palaces!
Thanks for letting us know Romilly. It is pretty funny!
That’s awesome, Romilly – If your source ever doesn’t mind you divulging certain info, I hope you’ll share it with us! I’m sure we’d all love to know!
I’ve never known whether this blog is read by any of the Royals, but in the past, I’ve suspected that some of Kate’s relatives were reading it. If Kate reads anything that criticizes her, she clearly doesn’t care enough about it to change anything for the better. She made that clear in the engagement interview too, when she basically conveyed that she didn’t care people thought she never worked. But who knows, maybe she tells herself anyone who criticizes is only boiling over with jealousy.
cut to Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep”:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYEDA3JcQqw
PW: “Finally I can see you crystal clear”
Waity: “See how I’ll leave, with every piece of you”
Carole: ”Don’t underestimate the things that I will do”
Orange Pip: “We could have had it all”
Middleton Family Chorus: “But you played it, you played it, you played it to the beat”
LOL Fedi. I don’t think WK would like her other song ‘Someone Like You’. It would have meant that someone else would be with Widdleton and she will never let that happen. Not that he’s a catch in any way.
PS Miss 24, what happened to the emoticons?
Lol, very nice, Fedi!
The midds are stirring the pot and starting sh*& from the looks of it ..
Ladies – I’m telling you something is going on.
On another note – Someone in the comments of this post – posted a link to a website full of photos of K starting from the Bra & Panties photo with the weird cork screw hair to date.
I’ve got to say – I absolutely loathe her sense of style. All of it. And I know everyone is all like she had a healthy and nice and active looking physique and figure – but until I had gone through those photos I had not noticed how the girl has no hips or even a hint of a feminine shape neither up top or down below. I mean she honestly does look like a stretched out 11 year old playing dress up. Her figure really only looked good when in a wet suit for the those rowing events- now I’m not athletic by any means – I ride on occasion and I am in a love hate relationship with the third treadmill in the second row at my gym. So maybe I don’t have the right to comment – but her sense of style and her clothing choices and outfits are bizarre to me. Like it never really quite comes together. Not with boots, not with dresses, not with those super unattractive pointy toed flat shoes that even a kiebler elf in the middle of a snowstorm would be embarrassed to wear. Or those godamned wedges in black.
Honestly I’m done analyzing why he married her and why she married him. I don’t care if he is sad or miserable or regretting every minute of it.
If he hasn’t stepped up and gotten rid of her by the end of 2013 – then whatever happens to him and the RF is their own doing.
I just want someone to sort of kind of like take a needle and thread (steel thread preferrably) and sew that mouth shut so I don’t have to see one more photo or video of her on celebitchy or lainey gossip or whatever other site with that mania inducing grin and her particular brand of passive aggresive psychological torment.
Or that hair. God. That. Hair. Why.
I also really believe they read this blog. Through and through. It only takes a few intelligent people to propegate an opinion over a short period of time and find it accepted and adopted by all quickly.
But just so that there is no delusion – You’re fair game if you act like you do not appreciate the weight and responsibility of the power that has been bestowed upon you by your position and behave in a manner that disrespects the circumstance, intelligence, and expectations of the public. And if you can’t admit that youvé made a mistake well then tough it out without forcing this farce down the throats of those that legitimize your position.
Just had a look at that photo stream. I think it is safe to say that her style improved vastly after the engagement, and that’s not saying much. OMG, pippa has always been tangoed!!!
Love your rant, babykaos. I pretty well feel the same way.
I don’t know why it matters if they read blogs or not, because I could never understand the purpose; I would rather live my life than to read /hear gossip about me- I just don’t care. Still, Waity said she didn’t care what people think. Well, she does care because everything about her is aimed at the cameras. And Willy…here are his own words,
22. If he was invisible for a day, he said: ‘I’d probably go into the newspaper office and listen to all the stories they tell about me.’
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2162555/Prince-William-30-things-know-Duke-marks-30th-birthday.html
So I guess the chance that they peruse blogs is a distinct possibility! I am just not quite sure, given their self-absorption, that it’s the blogs that criticise them.
Oh, and seeing the Midds in the carriage at Ascot, especially Carole, was nauseating. And then in the box, in red, leaning and pointing. There must be a factory in Bucklebury churning out the Midd bots, aka, “party pieces”. Heh.
@ martina martini:
nicely spotted. Carole has worshipped at the alter of the Dark Arts for quite sometime. she rabidly devoured ‘The Secret’ and quietly coached Waity on the ‘Power of Attraction’
there was a big cover-up later on over the PW poster on Waity’s wall. she was coached to daily ‘visualize’ her future as Queen, i.e. “Create your own Reality”
Okay. IMHO this getting a bit wacky. Could we stick to the facts as much as possible? There is more than enough factual and behavioural evidence out there to dissect.
Here, here! Waity does enough damage on her own.
Hey Maven. Not as wacky as you may think. I’ve read in one of the recent books written about William that he’d asked his mother to have a reading done by her psychic but she’d said he was too young. He’s obviously interested in all of that so that could have been part of the attraction between him and Kate! And she DOES look spooky sometimes. That’s a fact!
I wish I could find the video I saw on TV months ago where the poster of William was discussed (Still waiting for it to fall into my lap!). I know I’ve mentioned this before, but a Royal watcher accused Kate of lying about her poster being of the Levi’s guy in the engagement interview. His reason for thinking she was lying was that he’d supposedly interviewed many, many of her friends from the time, and so many of them had claimed they’d seen the William poster/described something identical that he felt there was no way Kate could telling the truth about it.
@Miss24 – sometimes people need something as a point of contact, you know you get these “psychic” people who wants a family member to bring a shirt etc of their dead family, so that they could make an accurate reading, I think that is why she had the poster in her room. I stand corrected :-)
Hey, Miss 24, have you seen that someone reposted your entire post on Royal Dish, and now you have your own page on RD: http://royaldish.com/index.php?topic=11034.0
This is great! Congrats indeed Miss 24!
Yes, I saw that yesterday. Of course, I think it’s awesome that they are interested in what I/we discuss over here, but I wish they wouldn’t plagiarize my entire articles. It’s happened several times that I’ve noticed. An excerpt plus a link back here would be great (what they should do), but when someone there posts the entire thing and someone searches for terms in an article of mine in a search engine, Royal Dish comes up and people are directed there instead of here sometimes. I assume that some people will not click the link and visit Enclave 24 when they can read the entire article (a collection of them at this point!) there where they have landed out of a search engine. On one hand, I’m very flattered to receive the notice. But on the other, although I’m sure no one has meant any harm by it, I have not given anyone permission to publish my full articles elsewhere. I love Royal Dish, but I wish their admin would stay on top of this stuff!
Well said, Miss 24. I wondered about copyright too. Is there any way to contact Royal Dish and ask them to provide a link instead of the entire article? Your site is great and deserves the attention.
I wondered about that too. I agree: you should contact the administrator and/or post a gentle note on RD suggesting that next time, the poster links back to you. It’s not right to plagiarize your entire article without, at the very least, linking back to you. In my business, I deal with plagiarism from time to time, and always tell people it’s important to fully cite the source.
Edit/update: Actually, I see now that they did provide the link to your site. Still, it would have been better if they’d gotten your permission to reprint the entire article. I’ve never seen an entire article reprinted on RD before.
Thanks, Jen, I am looking into doing that today :-)
Hi Miss 24 and everyone. Is there is a way you contact Royal Dish Adm? It’s not fair they are using your articles without your permission.
Another thing, to help you to put this blog on the top, can we have your permission to post a link or mention your blog in other websites such as celebitchy, even Daily Middleton, etc?
I ask you because I thought of posting a link to your website in others sources so everyone can know about your blog. Of course first I want to have your approval.
This way this blog can go viral. Your blog deserves the Viral Effect. More people, that have something to say about whats going on, coming to this blog…The comments are gonna get interesting and juicy… More than they already are :-)
By the way, I tried to post a comment from my android phone and somehow it doesn’t allow me to write in the “leave a comment” field. It’s a samsung. Please let me know if you need any other details :) Thanks!
Thanks Isa :-) Of course, you can post a link anywhere, anytime and it’s fine by me! As far as commenting from your phone goes… I’m not completely sure what the issue would be because I’m new to using the plugin that makes the blog mobile-friendly, but I will look into it. As is, I don’t think it’s compatible with all phones. Would you mind telling me exactly which phone you have so I can check the compatibility? (If you don’t want that published, just use a different email than you usually use (or a fake one) to comment and the comment will be sent to moderation where only I can see it).
Hi Miss 24.
Regarding your question, my phone is a Samsung Dart (T 499 with android 2.2). Do you need to know the carrier? Let me know in that case.
I tried to post from there using the blog mobile theme but no luck yet :-(
I do not know if this is a problem with this phone version but in the meantime I will keep leaving my comments from my computer.
I agree with everyone else, Miss 24. Let them know that if they’re going to reprint your articles (thereby making them open for discussion on their site) you would at least like a link back to your site. I don’t think it would be out of line to request they not repost yours verbatim, but that’s just me.
@Miss24,
Legally, your work on the net is automatically copyrighted. It is your intellectual property. I would suggest that you get a Creative Commons Licence from here:
http://creativecommons.org/
It is free, comes with an authoritative logo, and it allows you to decided how much content you want to permit be recopied. I have it on all my blogs. It actually does carry teeth.
I imagine that the people reposting your work do it in good faith. I would agree that contacting the admin at Royal Dish is the best way to go, and spell out to her what you agree to. Right is on your side! But I am sure she would do it anyway just out of common courtesy! Everyone seems a decent sort.
They do seem like decent people over there on RD, very respectful of each other. I enjoy that site — posters are smart and funny and I’m always laughing at something witty and clever. I especially love the emoticons!
Miss 24, do you ever post on Royal Dish?
I see the same poster on RD has posted another full article of yours, “Kate Middleton Prince William’s decade long mistake,” although she does post the link to your site: http://royaldish.com/index.php?topic=11036.0.
Some comments on RD in response to your article were a bit critical of you (your abortion remark). What strikes me as wrong about copying your entire article there is that you don’t have a proper chance to defend yourself unless you’re actually on RD and check the comments every day.
It seems soon every post of yours is going to end up on Royal Dish! I also saw one of my more lengthy comments on one of your posts here copied and posted on RD in full. I was a bit taken aback to see my writing there, although I didn’t mind.
I check Royal Dish from time to time, but I haven’t actually posted there (I get all the Royal gossip off my chest right here :-) ). If people want to discuss/criticize my articles, they are free to do so wherever they prefer to – we discuss articles from the DM and other sites all the time here – but the difference is, I’m not posting entire DM articles (or ones from other websites) so that people can read them here without having to visit the source website. I really appreciate your point though (and I was also taken aback to see articles plus your comments on there).
Thanks for the advice, maven! I will definitely look into that. Would I need a separate one for each post, or can I get a license for the entire blog as a collection? (Also, just out of curiosity, are any of your blogs Royal-themed?)
I agree… I think the posters doing it are probably just unaware of copywrights and courtesy regarding blog/website content.
Miss 24,
It covers all your content on the blog. Just place the logo where you want it so every page will show it (left-hand menu I’m guessing). I think the info on the site will be helpful. Even if you didn’t have it, all your content automatically is considered copyrighted. But you can control how much content you want copied on other sites. A teaser paragraph and a link are fair, IMO; it must always have a link.
And, no, I don’t have any royals blogs- far far far from it. :) Yours is a nice change of pace.
Thanks so much for all your help, maven! I really appreciate it! -As an amateur, it’s so nice to get advice from a more seasoned blogger :-D Signing up and getting one of those licenses/logos is definitely on my agenda for later or tomorrow. I agree – the teaser paragraph and link are what I would prefer.
I keep finding more and more stuff on Royal Dish — yet another of your articles was reposted in full further down on their list, along with a whole whack of our comments on here — copied in full! I was shocked, actually. That really isn’t right, even if they provide the link.
Most excellent job, Miss.
Congratulations!
Gosh I have just read Miss 24′s article + everyone’s comments and it just reminds me how much I love visiting this site: that we are able to have intelligent and humorous discussions. It is so nice to hear everyone’s views.
Also if I were PW I would rather kiss Lupo, too.
After reading comments (with white knuckles) on the daily Middleton for over a year someone posted your link. Keep up the comments and blogs, a growing number of us feel the same.
Does anyone know WHAT exactly Willy is training for in Gloucestershire? It has all been kept rather suspiciously quiet. There have been many comments on other blogs that a vacation is due probably with Ma and Pa Middleton ‘flushed with their success’ at Ascot!, LOL
If William goes on one more vacation with the Middletons this year, I will have not one stitch of doubt left that the romance is 100% dead between him and Kate. —Among other things! He should not be associating with those people. The public disapproves of them, for one thing. By my estimate, close to half of the people disapprove of his tawdry bride too, so he’ll only damage his (and the entire monarchy’s) image further by spending time with that family.
See attached article. Quite illuminating.
I cannot slice this anyway that makes KW look good.
She is either immature, quite childlike, and dependent.
Or threatening the RF, if PW goes away again, no baby.
(If she doesn’t eat and get some fat on her frame, no baby.)
Also playing the victim card, poor me, hubby gets deployed (doesn’t mention that she lives in the lap of luxury while he is gone.)
http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celebrity-news/535908/kate-middleton-was-dreadfully-lonely-and-lost-her-appetite-while-prince-william-was-away-from-home
Thanks for sharing, Cassie :-) It’s definitely not flattering to Kate. But I suspect what the author was probably going for was the suggestion that she is lost without William – but in a positive way: they are two peas in a pod, helpless without each other, and too passionate about each other to spend even a few weeks apart. The article also subtly suggests, in Kate’s favor, that she is not looking forward to a fuller deck of Royal privileges (living in a palace – she didn’t marry for money and status, after all!), living with less privacy in London (because she abhors media attention and is scared to lose private time with William – it’s the burden she bears for loving him!), and as a cherry on top, her low weight is (again) justified – chalked up to immense emotional pain over missing her dear husband for six whole weeks. No one likes it when a beloved spouse is away for a any period of time, but for crying out loud – by this account, she’d starve to death if she were an average military spouse! Some soldiers are gone for years at a time!
Yes I agree that the author was trying to spin this in a flattering way, Kate pining away from the brief loss of her soul mate, will starve to death without him and just cannot adjust to being by herself. And all she wants is her hubby in a modest setting.
Under the sugary veneer however, it would appear that either WK is quite childlike, immature, needy and dependent. And may not have mature inner resources to cope with life stresses. Seems fairly spoiled and fragile. I also think she cannot stand to be apart from PW because she doesn’t trust him. She cannot stalk and monitor his every move when he is away.
Also the article has the Middleton fingerprints all over it….. their hallmark is the victim card which hits PW’s Diana button. WK pressed for an engagement some years back based on her harassment by the paps and claimed she needed PW protection. The Middies “didn’t ask” (Ha) for all of this and need a mansion off the public road for protection and safety. PW forks out the cash for one.
The timing of this article is interesting, it has been widely reported that PW is making a decision about his military future. And we know full well that WK has used the press in the past to manipulate PW…
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Great points, Cassie, and I completely agree – What you suggested is “under the sugary veneer” is what is implied to anyone who sees through the attempts to spin who and what she is. How can someone who’s been spoon-fed and swaddled through life – never fully responsible for herself – ever be strong, successful, and independent? William and Kate may relate in the sense that they both have a form of “Peter Pan Syndrome,” but there is a lot more life experience, tragedy, and responsibility that (I feel) may have driven William to his (I still think he needs to quit playing around and accept his reality (or step aside), but that’s beside the point). Kate, on the other hand, is stuck in a careless, childhood frame of mind, not because she fears her future and mourns her past, but because she doesn’t know that any other reality exists (in my opinion, of course). In some ways, despite his privileges, William has had to face many challenges in his life that would have forced him to develop into a fully functional, independent adult (his parents’ terrible marriage, his father’s adultery and accepting Camilla, the death of his mother, accepting that the world has obsessed over his every step since he was born, etc.), but from what I can tell, Kate hasn’t faced much of anything she didn’t enjoy. -Nothing that forced her to grow and maneuver around horrific or uncomfortable obstacles she had no choice but to endure.
It’s also a great point you made about Kate pressing for an engagement by playing a victim who needed the protection of being an official Royal to save her from the press. I suspect that as well. In fact, I think a lot of why William married her had to do with him being manipulated into feeling that he owed her (and her family) for her “sacrifices” over the 8-9 years they dated.
Helicopter polo!
Seeing Mama Snake eyes in the landau and buddied up to Prince Phillip at Ascot–oh my word, I felt my dinner coming back up. I’m referring to Carole. I was thinking she had had a face lift until I saw those photos–now I’m pretty sure that’s not the case. Vulgar, vulgar woman. So out of place. She is doing the same maniacal Waity grin in the landau. I’m sure she was momentarily pretending to be Waity, looking at her lowly subjects. Just when you think the Midds scheme might be coming undone a bit–you get served up photos like this. Buying the horse was part of the scheme to get near the royals. You could not convince me otherwise. If you start to connect the dots on Ma Midds scheme–it is SOOO transparent. I wish Princess Michael would sink her claws into Ma M–just seeing photos of her (P. Michael)–makes me want to run and hide under my bed. haha. I can’t imagine actually meeting her- I would die of fright. I have to wonder– as the growing tsunami of negativity toward the lazy Waity grows–how does that affect Party Pieces? I would imagine that could be bad for business-??? I googled Party City (a large party resource in the US)–they have been in business since 1947, have HUNDREDS of stores, 13,420 employees, and they did $1.6 billion in 2010. Party Pieces is nowhere near this size. Yet, I am thinking it would take owning a company of this magnitude to fund that sort of lifestyle. But that is just my common sense not quite understanding how you can operate your company out of a barn (is it?) and live like royalty. Barns aren’t THAT big. I had read that they were moving to a new space–the photos showed a space that looked average, not monstrous. And then you start to do the math on the lifestyle, the London apt., the horse, the fancy schools for 3 kids, the Prince William stalking campaign. I am self employed also, and I know lots of other people who are as well. Let me tell you, what you make flies right back out the window on expenses and taxes and insurance and ETC. Nothing about this makes ANY sense. I am just throwing this out there–does anyone else think Prince William’s hand gestures sometimes look a bit feminine? My gaydar went off when they were in Canada last year–he was putting the finishing touches on something they had just baked. The hands, well, I definitely noticed. I have also seen it since. I will, then, ask myself–could I see Harry’s hands doing that? The answer is a quick NO. Sometimes clues lie in very small, subtle things……
I think (or I feel sure) that the Palace or Mids PR’s thought they had come up a BRILLIANT plan when they put mama snake eyes next to the DoE at Ascot yesterday. They obviously hoped that the sympathy for the Duke would enhance mama snake eyes reputation whilst she tried to look like his BF! What they hadn’t bargained for was how it would spectacularly backfire ie highlighting everything that is wrong with that awful women (see previous posts) and see where some of Waity’s ghastly gestures and mannerisms come from.
History has a way of repeating itself. Think back to how long it took before the press released the Squidgygate conversation, and Chuck’s phone call to Cammy. They sat on that stuff for over 2 years, if I remember correctly.
I suspect that some strange stuff has been going on between Willyboy and Waity and that the press is holding it for the perfect opportunity to release it and embarrass them. It is building……we just only have to wait. (We can wait, just like Waity has……. LOL).
BP and St. James are scrambling to do damage control after Willy’s performance towards Waity at the Jubilee functions. It’s a PR stunt, and if will fail unless Willy has a change of heart regarding his bride. Although I may be wrong, I think this is going to escalate in the future. Even a new baby cannot usually change the underlying animosity that a disgruntled spouse may have for his wife.
Waity has come out of her cocoon and Willy would be hard-pressed to stuff her back into it. My interpretation of her behavior is that she wants to showcase herself – just as Diana ultimately did – and it destroyed the marriage due to jealousy.
I began to be very suspicious of Waity when she returned from her honeymoon. She looked absolutely gaunt, and had lost additional weight while relaxing in the Seychelles. One would think that would have been the time for rejuvenation after a stressful event – but I interpreted it as her obsession with her figure, thinking that thin is beautiful, when in fact IMO she looked worse than she ever had before. I believe that her weight loss is linked to her own insecurities about Willy’s feelings about her. Again, just as Diana dealt with her insecurities about Chuck.
Interesting comments about the press, but I disagree with you about Waity’s weight loss being about insecurity. This woman is cold and calculated. Now that’s she’s secured PW in marriage, her entire focus is the camera, the public eye. I doubt she thinks about anything else. At events, she ALWAYS finds the camera, even when everyone around her is focused in an entirely different direction. It was painfully obvious on the Canadian tour.
I remember seeing her at the Diana concert. Initially, I had no idea who she was. I just kept thinking that is a woman obsessed with PW. It was creepy, not romantic, the way she watched him. When someone told me he had been dating her, I was floored. Waity just struck me as being stalkerish.
One of the issues they may be fighting about is whether PW stays in the military or not. He has made it clear he loves his work in the Air Force, detests the idea of facing royal duties in the future. WK on the other hand is falling apart, in tears and starving herself when he is deployed. She obviously cannot hack being a military wife in the least. Wants hubby home 24/7.
I agree she seems obsessed with PW, needy, dependent and highly manipulative, like her mother. Will use whatever opportunity they can to connect to the RF, including the press.
Hopefully her whining will force him to leave the military. He will harbor resentment towards her and get out of this mess by seeking a divorce. No need to ask the Queen’s permission. He obviously did not seek it to marry her.
Are all comments being moderated/awaiting moderation?
Hi Jen,
I stand by my impression that Waity is truly insecure, however I can certainly appreciate a different opinion. I think that insecurity is one of the roots of her strange behaviors. She IS cold and calculated, she has stalked Willy, and she does seek out the cameras. But I believe the reason why she does all these things is because she is looking for attention, that she doesn’t feel Willy loves her as much as she loves him, and she just isn’t confident in herself. Sometimes the most arrogant individuals behave that way because of a deep seated insecurity within themselves – and so they push themselves on others in a way to compensate. Her weight loss (IMO) is linked to some odd self image issues she harbors.

Elaine2,
You could be right. If so, we will certainly see more strange behaviour and radical dieting in the future.
I think that’s an easy trap to fall into, attributing insecurity to behaviour. If Waity feels insecure then it would be about her position, not Willy. But I don’t think she feels insecure. She won the ultimate diamond ring/crown and she is not going to be budged. All her behaviour since then suggests something other than vulnerability. All questions, probing of Willy, IMO, is Waity’s way of manoeuvering. She needs to test the wind at all times to see how it’s blowing so she can right course. She’s tough as old boots (And looks like a pair, too).
As I’ve said before, she is a control freak and keeping herself thin is, as she confessed, “part of the plan”. Those four words tell me everything I need to know about her. And, indeed, it’s obvious that she subscribes to Wallis Simpson’s credo, that “you can never be too rich or too thin”.
I think all of you are correct.
Sometimes seemingly opposite behaviors in a person are
merely the flip side of the same coin kind of thing.
I think there is the arrogant determined entitled piece and the deeply insecure piece.
This is a woman with more ambition than pride. Anyone else who was dumped as many times as she was by PW would have licked her wounds and found someone else who truly loved her without all the ambivalence shown by PW. Ambition combined with obsessive co-dependency and more of a neurotic attachment than mature love.
And needed to resort to tricks and manipulations to get a marriage proposal. This does not make for a secure marriage and she knows it.
My .02.
I’m…very into psychology, and you hit the nail on the head with the “codependency” (non-alcoholism related). —The condition of giving someone everything, bending over backwards for him, being everything he could need, want and more despite how you are being treated and especially if your efforts are not reciprocated – because when you fill such a large void in someone’s life and provide him with so much, you have leverage – control. You force the person you depend on to depend on having you around. It’s what is done, consciously or subconsciously, to “earn” love and reduce or eliminate the chance of being abandoned by the target. The target is usually a narcissist of sorts who does not reciprocate the “love” or effort (which drives the codependent to try even harder to earn his love) and often, he doesn’t love or value her – only what she does for him. Many codependents act this way because of childhood abuse, abandonment, or parents/guardians who were extremely critical of them (hence, the need to earn love and prevent abandonment). Just saying…!
Yes I think your points are well taken as we are attempting to sort out the complexity of their relationship. It is certainly not black or white, but more shades of grey.
There is enough blame to go around on all sides of this family dysfunction.
And water does seek its own level, meaning that whatever we say about KW, we must face the fact that PW married her despite it all.
And to respond to one of your other posts, yes there can be a number of reasons why an individual is blocked from normal maturational development. One is certainly childhood trauma and isolation. Another is a family who smothers or exhibits extraordinary control over a child. A teenager whose parents made it a life goal for their child to become the Queen of England. Who spent a decade pursuing this goal, with a great deal or work, thought and strategy. At what price? A consistent theme is that KW operates about a decade younger than her chronological age. Childlike mannerisms and behavior.
I could go on and on discussing these complex dynamics, it is fascinating and sad at the same time. Of course it is all speculation, but we can all plainly see that something is wrong and we are tying to understand it.
Cassie, please don’t say that Kate acts a decade younger than her chronological age. That means that the way she is acting is with the mindset of a twenty year old. I am not even twenty yet, and even I don’t act like she does. The way she acts and what she says, socially inept or not, are much younger.
Thanks for straightening us out, Rose. My cousin is 20, and she’s in Haiti where she founded a home and school for 80 orphaned boys last year. At 19, she was running a huge orphanage. Now that’s what I call accomplishment. It’s people like her who should be getting worldwide accolades, not the Waitys of the world.
@Rose: Actually you are quite correct. I confess I wanted to say that I thought KW acted about 12, junior high school age, but I thought it too harsh to say outright.
But you are right, many 20 yr olds act in a more mature fashion than KW. Thank you for making me clarify my answer.
On another note, did any of you ladies see the estimate of Kate’s yearly hair and beauty spendings? OMG. The article is on Yahoo Shine (or something like that. It’s on Yahoo, anyway.) and the writer estimates that Kate spends over 30K on hair and beauty! 30K!
If true (I’m not sure how accurate the estimation was), this proves how vain and superficial and self-obsessed she really is! I hope Will divorces her before they have kids.
PS. I absolutely love your blog Miss 24. It’s good to see that not everyone has fallen into this the RF PR trap and the media’s whitewashing of Waity.
Thanks, TheOnlyCleo :-) I saw that article too – it really puts things into perspective! I wish someone would add up what all her outfits, shoes, and other accessories have cost too! I think that would be even more mind-blowing!

OMG. The Waitbot is programmed pyscho b****. Jesus, I would be afraid to be in the same room with that serial nutcase. RUN WILLIAM RUN.
Hi miss 24,i agree with you, to read your articles they should visit your site.i think they have moderators on that site so you can post a message and get the while article down and have only your site links.
I think media is building Kate up to bring her down.i remember media got against Diana after price Andrew wedding, they thought that fergie was better then her.if Harry marries an accomplished woman without a scandalous past Kate will be forced to compete because at the end of the media want to sell and loser Kate vs an accomplished woman will be very good for the tabloids.Diana was able to compete,i don’t see Kate doing the same because she has nothing to offer except she waited years for a ring and that’s it.
Interesting point, w to d, about the possibility of Harry marrying someone much more accomplished than Waity. I have thought of that myself. Harry did, after all, go for Chelsy Davy, with her law degree and actual, real job in London. Could you imagine the problems Waity would have if Harry’s wife upstaged her naturally and effortlessly. Poor Dolittle would have a meltdown. I’m guessing that she would try to pull rank over whoever Harry married. Diana had IT, Harry’s wife (theoretically, of course) has IT. Waity has…………..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I actually think the media would sell more papers if they did turn on Waity and start telling the truth about this lazy apparently money grabbing woman. Even the most devoted of fans must be questioning the overdose of sugar coated drivel against what they actual see. Whether the Daily Middleton or Hello would ever turn remains to be seen, the former perhaps, the latter I doubt it although as it is often only being sold for a £1 the extra revenue might tempt them. After all, it’s ALL about money isn’t it?
The video clip is hilarious…. Where it appears William calls Kate a Bi*ch and then her blinking deer in the headlights look. Priceless!
PW said something inappropriate. Prince Harry looked surprised, and kept his eyes on Waity as though he felt sorry for her. He then remembers the cameras and stoops to look ahead.
Re Cassie’s comment above “He has made it clear he loves his work in the Air Force, detests the idea of facing royal duties in the future” – I have heard this before too several times and have heard him interviewed saying this so it is not just idle gossip – how wonderful it will be to have those 2 on the throne – one who hates his job and appears not to give a hoot about his subjects and the other milkng her position for all it is worth – oh, yes – and old Mama snakes eyes meddling in the background – I only hope I am not around to see it unless of course he comes to his senses and gets rid of K before then –
Had to laugh at snakes eyes being inviited to LADY’S Day at Ascot!!! Does someone in the RF have a sense of humour after all??!!
I enjoy reading the articles and the comments.Kate is a manipulator of the Prince & the Media. Please Watch Below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BncJtQlz94
I have always loved that video! -willharrydiana of YouTube is amazing. I wish she’d make a sequel to her video about William being a not-so-charming prince now that the post-marital lack of affection between Will and Kate is such a hot topic!
Re above video, I was so sorry when James Whittaker died not so long ago. He was an extremely knowledgeable and respected Royal reporter who would have endorsed everything we say on this blog. He had enough courage to voice his views that Kate Middleton was totally unsuitable for the role We have been left with a lot of sycophantic females who give gushing reports on television documentaries.
@ Romilly , Yes I miss James Whittaker as well. He had great insight on the relationship between Diana, Charles & the Queen. One of his best insights can be seen on the documentary ” the Diana Years” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFSJcSUmfMU&feature=fvwrel & “the queen docu drama”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSlyzwefR1Y&feature=related
@ all the wonderful women on this site …
I’ve been coming to this blog/site since the beginning of this year.
I didn’t want to comment before hand because like many of you I could not see in K any qualities worthy of the position she now finds herself in.
And like many I was and still am quite frustrated with the media coverage and the spin that she receives.
And it was quite refreshing to see that so many people saw what I saw and agreed that this woman was completely lacking in every single way a woman in this day and age can be.
But there is something so much more valuable here that I’ve become aware of as a result of visiting here regularly – where I used to think that we were done for and beyond redemption – particularly the up and coming generation of females – in the sense that there were very few role models for young females – good values and good morals seem to be on the fast track to becoming obsolete – i sincerely worried for the next generation – who was going to teach them and who was going to guide them towards becoming women with cultured and mature world views with love for themselves and their fellow human beings ..
I have come to see that my worries were unfounded. So many of you beginning with Miss 24 who without her efforts we wouldn’t be congregating here – and posters like DOY, Maven, Arlie, Romilly, V flower and more .. So many of you – of us – we can still uphold those values and we can still pass them on by good behaviour –
Is it wrong to want to see someone more worthy and more suited for the wife of the Future King of England? Is it wrong to want to see someone that propegates a message to women and girls first and the world at large ? I don’t think we want perfect but I think we want someone that can make a difference . A woman that could inspire countless others to partake in the healthy development of society.
While in principal I do not agree with the idea of a monarchy or the disstinction of royal blood vs non royal blood – the embodiment of these ideas exists and it is a part of the fabric of society for good or for bad .. its here to stay for the foreseeable future .. and whether I like K ‘s banal existence or not – her make up and expenditure to me would be the last thing on my mind if she even hinted at having or possessing the basic ability to see beyond her immediate needs .. I don’t begrudge her her blush or her eyeliner – but I refuse to let that kind of expenditure slide when nothing has been done to offset what surely is the tip of the iceberg in terms of excessive expenses for the sake of nothing but her own fulfillment.
We all have a duty – those of us who have stature and those of who don’t. We have a duty to be responsible and to educate and to support each other ..
I am saddened mostly because – girls – young girls – for the most part all across the world now believe that to marry their prince charming all they have to be is thin, made up all the time with spray tans and blow outs, and to completely loose their identiy in the process fueling a one sided co – dependency that will more than likely result in a crushing and devestating loss when the would be prince charming ultimately does not come through with a ring after 9 years of waiting.
The logic that – well if she was going to wait for anyone it would be to wait for PW – is so flawed.
I can’t even stomach seeing a photo of her anymore or hearing the blatant spin. I can’t even tolerate the thought of said spin being weaved in what is most certainly the well lit offices of the PR practitioners of the palace alongside her own team.
Such a waste of money on everything from aforementioned practitioners to grooming expenses to the chef that is probably on hire to make her the zero calorie meals that she nibbles on before the over paid personal trainer puts her through the duchess’s very own training circuit.
I can’t wait for this farce to be over and for W to get a clue and grow up.
@Baby
Well said.
It is rubbing a lot us the wrong way.
Many of us obtained training, education, job, husband.
Worked hard, got it all fair and square.
Didn’t resort to tricks, manipulations.
Sure we made mistakes along the way, but don’t have a PR machine spinning our mistakes to make us look good.
No wonder we feel offended and insulted.
Brilliantly put. I cannot wait for part 2, will comment further once I have re-read your article :-)
I agree — that is very well said, Babykaos. But please don’t despair of the younger generation of women. I don’t think it’s as bad you say, although it seems we will never get away from the Hollywood-style sexualization of young women’s physical attributes in movies, advertising, and the media.
Again, I point to young women like my cousin (actually my cousin’s daughter), who at the age of 20 is running an orphanage safehouse for 80 boys in Haiti. She started the orphanage a year ago at 19, leasing a building and hiring staff and buying supplies with money that came solely from her own fundraising efforts. This young woman is a shining example of what young people are accomplishing these days. So don’t despair!
That said, Waity is a horrible role model for young women, for all the reasons we discuss here. Beyond frightening. I can only hope that Harry marries someone smart like Chelsy, so the Royal Family can at last have a decent role model for young women. I had high hopes for Autumn Phillips, but she hasn’t done anything except have babies. Maybe once her children start to grow up, we’ll see some “make a difference in the world” kinds of achievements from her. Sophie doesn’t seem to have done much in this regard either, alas.

Good evening all :-)
What I perceive of this whole saga, is that the BRF is trying to right the wrong they did to the late Princess Diana, all Kate is doing is gleaning Princess Diana’s spoils if I can put it that way. Whatever she needs she is is going to get, and I have discerned since their wedding that she has some leverage/secret that she is holding over Prince William, hence why the BFR is spending so much on her. Their PR machines are working overtime to make the masses believe that she has been “accepted” into their inner circle, she might be “accepted” in Public, what we need to ask is she “accepted” as much behind closed doors.
As we can all see, she is losing weight rapidly, and I keep asking myself with all the funds in the world, the title that she chased after yet she is not happy, her grinning does not even reach her eyes. She seems to fawn over Prince William and yet he does not reciprocate same, even as newly weds, I am sure as modern royals they are allowed to show some PDA, yet they don’t. They seem to be very icy towards each other, as though this is a contract marriage, it is like Prince William owed her for keeping her “silence”.
Ma Middleton will milk this for all its worth, as she might know what the “secret” is as well, and she will be invited to be apart of everything and the masses will think that both Kate and her family have been accepted into the inner circle of the BFR – to me this is all a smokescreen.
I stand corrected with what I have perceived of all it.
I welcome correction/comments/thoughts :-)
Perfume
Couldn’t agree more re BRF trying to right the wrongs of the Diana years also that undeserving Waity is reaping the benefits. The RF tried their best but got it COMPLETELY wrong ie allowing the Middletons to infiltrate and control and a vapid, clueless girl to ensnare Willy.
@Romilly and we must also bring to the fore, that as William grew older, he must of perceived the pain his mother went through, he must of been rebellious towards the BRF by marrying Kate (again I stand corrected), after breaking up with her on numerous occasions why decide to marry her, why did he not walk away for good, even being the most prized batchelor in the world, he could of stopped this tsumai looming yet he chose to continue with it.
Why did he rebel????? LOL I am sounding like a psychologist.
Excellent question. I do think there was an element of rebellion in his choice or at least how he rolled it out. In some ways however I think she was a safe choice. Not the most popular, but the safest?
The list of why he might rebel is a long one. No psychology degree needed to make that list!
Perfume – I couldn’t agree more with you re BRF trying to right the wrongs they did to Diana and how true that the undeserving Waity is now reaping the spoils. Unfortunately Waity comes with a price – the Middletons and I am certain the RF did not realise how much the Mids are despised by the public and the enormous damage they would do to the Monarchy.
@Romilly, exactly and to Kate, in her mind she thinks she has replaced the memory of the late Princess Diana, she also has this perception that the media and the world love her, and that the masses have put her in the same category as Diana (she has perceived wrong). I was reading an article on DM earlier whereby Prince Charles said that he is funding her clothing budget, did he ever do this for the young girl he married, I don’t think so, and why is it being done with Kate. I also discern that Charles is wanting to make right with the wrong he did to Diana, a bit too late for my liking!!!!!
What is the crippling secret she knows about Prince William???
When I told my colleague last year of what I discerned, her response was like many “are you jealous of her?” – and I said how can I be jealous of someone who manipulated herself into the most high profile family in the world, that silenced her for awhile.
Kate is not seeing ahead of her, all she sees at present is the title, the finances, the many houses, subjects that must bow before her, red carpet attendance, waving her and there, attending art galleries etc. This she craved, with the help of her mother, being told that she will eventually demand the respect she deserves. Her former life I don’t know much, as I started taking interest when he announced their engagement. She also fails to understand is that the “world” is accepting towards her because she married the late Princess Diana’s son, that is also part of the reason why the media is interested in her, they knew in times past Princess Diana helped sell their papers, and now they are expecting the same of Kate.
In closing from the Queen right down is using this girl as their “whiteboard” and trying to rewrite their deviousness they had towards Princess Diana, and what I see is that whatever Kate demands she will get, and in the end she will end up reaping in pain (I am not being nasty towards her, I hope it does not end up like this for her)
I do
I agree, whether to right the bad karma, or at the advice of their PR team,
the RF is trying to treat K right. But yes. it may backfire.
@Perfume
You are spot on re Waity and Diana – the Mids knew this too and are playing it for all its worth and milking every possible benefit. I spotted this initially when Chas and Cam appeared to be cozying up to her. The Queen would not normally have let a family like the Middletons anywhere near them if it wasn’t for the Diana situation. At least the York sisters have got their heads screwed on the right way and appear to see the family for what they are. It will be fun watching Waity having to curtesy to them!
The numbers are in – $35,000 worth of clothing fr Kate middlton alone just for the 1st half of 2012.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/meghancasserly/2012/06/25/kate-middleton-54000-clothing-budget-pretty-pittance-or-royal-pain/
This is a load of crap. Just do the math. More like $500,000. Even at the the end of the Forbes article, the editors themselves show skepticism by suggesting they have yet to do the math, but that they will be checking it and for readers to stay tuned.
Also, for some time we’ve been reading about the “Discount Duchess” and how she bargains prices down and buys things at discount. Now suddenly we’re supposed to believe she has always bought everything at full price. Puh-leeeze! How stupid do they think the public is?
I am so disgusted with all this media BS and sick sick sick of all the spin.
The hats, accessories and shoes alone woulD easily cost more than that. They think the British public are stupid. They have very short memories. Less than a year ago the country experienced some of the worst riots in its history! Then in 2012 we see a new person added to the glorified dole that is unashamedly parading around at the public’s expense in designer outfits. This person is pandered to and worshipped by the media, and all the while large numbers of young people are struggling to get a decent education. WK is a symptom of a lot of what is wrong with a society not based on merit. Eventually there will be a revolt that will be difficult to contain.
On another note, the Queen put her in her place. Something is going on behind the scenes of the RF. The senior royals are clearly unhappy with her per-eminence. How humbling to have to curtsey to Beatrice and Eugenie in public and private if PW is not present. I anticipate more public humiliations for her. Eugenie and Beatrice fear no reprisals if she becomes Queen. They probably don’t expect her to be around that long. Even Camilla is beginning to look good compared to this parasite.
I wonder if Ma Mid ever considered the security risk she was creating for her daughter with her planning and scheming. I would be extremely concerned if my daughter was in that position. Yes, they have the best Protection officers but nothing is infallible – look at the Kennedys, also the attack on Princess Anne in her car, the fake gun waved at the Queen, the recent attack on PC and Camilla’s car etc, etc. There is always a crazy person out there wanting to go down in History!
$54,000! It says $54,000 now! (Don’t know if it was edited since you read it – or perhaps it’s £35,000?). By the end of the year, it’ll be over $100,000 at this rate. —Oh, but poor Kate, she’s so thrifty, always “recycling” those outfits. What a frugal, economically aware and empathetic lady ;-) Great find, Maureen – that may be an excellent source for a future post.
Miss 24, I believe USD $54,000 is about the equivalent of 35,000 British pounds. Is that what you’re referring to?
Yes… that does sound about right.
So $35,000 for clothing, $35,000 for make up and hair…. this woman is outrageous,
@ Maureen
ahh, but this is EXACTLY how a high price call girl/courtesan spends.
Carole had Waity study the tactics of ”Les Grandes Horizontales”, that much is clear
Oh, yes sorry, I realized the Forbes amount was $54,000 american dollars ($35,000 in British currency), so I edited my response to both be in the same currency (British)
-And $35,000 sounded high priced enough!
I think it’s great that all of this is coming out. With all the media spins, it’s nice to have more pieces of the reality puzzle.
Good evening ladies,
I might respond late to the articles because of time difference lol.
Let me browse through the comments and reply :-)
Don’t worry ladies, the Olympics are just around the corner! A fresh new crop of beautiful and eligible young ladies for PW to meet
To ensure this happens, here’s what the Firm should do:
1. Stash Waity away– perhaps at their new cottage in Sandringham– under the pretense that her ‘busy’ workload is making it impossible for her to take care of herself/gain weight. A doctor will prescribe complete bed rest and high caloric meals to strengthen her emaciated frame
2. The Golden Boys (PW and PH) along with the Golden Girls (PE and PB) will spread the fun, healthy glow of the ‘Young Monarchy’ during those 16 Days of Glory.
3. PW will mix and mingle with hundreds of fine young fillies; mobile numbers and email addresses will innocently be exchanged at the end of the Games ‘just to keep in touch’
The thing that gets me is how in the world Palace PR can allow this image between them to go on yet at the same time try to spin stories about how the Royal Fam is accepting Kate. Even between Will and Kate it amazes me how they haven’t gotten a tongue lashing ordering them to be more affectionate in public by now.
The media pictures can say one story and they can choose the ones that best suit their spin re: only the ones of Kate and Harry mucking it up. Of course they only include pictures of the two laughing and cropped of everyone else so you can’t see the whole angle. Because everyone else was ignoring her, even Will at times!
The full spectrum of shots with everyone in the frame tells a completely different story.
Even video like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4ATm5UtXG0 tells yet another and clearly shows Kate going out of her way to stand apart from the Royal Fam until Harry literally has to put her in place. Even then she is as far apart from Will as can be, at times it looks like they are clearly ignoring each other and instead she is sidling up to Harry. In contrast, even old bird Camilla plants herself firmly and snuggly next to her Charlie.
Wow. WK deliberately places herself away from her husband, and even tries to get Harry to stand between them, but he graciously indicates she is to be near her husband. WK then stands next to Harry and starts the silly pointing and inane giggling routine with him. Doesn’t even look at her husband. All in a what was called a carefully choreographed script on family unity and continuity of the monarchy.
Yes Cam and Charles get it right.
VFlower, now that I review that balcony video again, it sure looks odd the way Kate stands so far from Wm. & spends way too much time leaning over to talk & giggle with Harry. Camilla does stick close to Charles and I have noticed that in other photo shots, Camilla turns slightly to face Charles in a way that Kate does not. It’s as if she is saying Charles is the one you should be looking at, not me, while Kate does just the opposite. I believe Camilla understands Charles’ anger at being upstaged by anyone, while Kate doesn’t understand this yet. Not sure she ever will, as she appears totally unknowing about basic royal protocol.
Such a good point Jennie12, Cammie does indeed seem to have an understanding on where her place and position are.
I almost think she considers herself a star in her own right and Will’s equal, I don’t think she fully understands that Will inheriting the throne won’t make her the queen, ever. She will only have titles in relation to him but not any of her own.

As mentioned earlier, since alterations made for mobile access I can only get post headings on IPhone4, not recent comments scrolling bar on the left etc which I depend on a lot. Still ok on IPad tho.
Miss 24 – There is a school of thought that royals aren’t allowed to touch or even be connected in public in any way which got me to thinking about PC/Diana and their early relationship. He has been tarred with the bad husband brush but really, he tried at the begining. Then i found this video on youtube which is part of a Diana Biography. It shows Charles being quite affectionate in public with Diana. There is a moment he gooses her whilst they are out on public duty, her reaction isn’t the often repeated view, that their sex life was a dud or that the marriage was dead on arrival. Of all the talking heads on it, Sarah Bradford is the one i believe. She is reputed for her even, impartially written biographies. everyone else on there has an agenda to push. i know this blog is about Willam/Kate, but i thought this little snippet may be a good comparison, certainly of the first year of marriage.

Thanks for posting. I’ve never seen this series. They were clearly in love. Princess Diana had so much charisma, and was such a natural person. Many Brits will never accept Camilla because of her role in breaking up PD’s marriage. PC and Camilla’s people can try now to rewrite history, but not everyone has such a short memory.
@DOY I just had a look at the Youtube video posted and asked myself, “what went wrong, Charles loved his young bride at one time, what truly went wrong in their marriage?????”
Another interesting link. This scandal won’t go away whatever the palace does!http://www.newnotizie.it/2012/07/kate-middleton-e-la-presunta-gioventu-a-luci-rosse/
I am getting flashbacks to lessons about the Boleyn family and their relentless scheming for 6 years to make Anne Henry’s wife. By the time they got married they had torn the country apart and only married then out of obligation (and because Anne was already pregnant with Queen Elizabeth I), but they did not love each other and the marriage obviously failed pretty soon after. Kate should watch that her lovely head stays attached to her neck!!
Some of you suggest Will does not want her? How is it that he changed so much in just a year?
@ana. Kate and the Middletons have changed dramatically since he put the ring on her finger. She appears media hungry, primping and preening for the Press every time she spots a camera which is everything he didn’t want. Now money is no object she appears to spend all her time shopping, having beauty treatments, holidaying and with no real, genuine interest in the less than handful of charities she became involved in. Her mannerisms, gaffs, cluelessness and hyena laughing cannot have gone unnoticed by him to name but a few things. The Middletons, after appearing to have deliberately kept under the radar for 10 years, are now in everyone’s face, grinning and waving at every opportunity which is totally alienating the public, especially as the other Royal relatives behave with decorum and discretion. Rumour has it too that Mrs Middleton can be unbearably and undeservedly hoity. The behaviour of some of the relatives has been beyond the pale too and not to forget Kate’s alleged connection to Killing Kittens and the potentially extremely damaging ‘photos in the pipeline. These are to name but a few. Perhaps he is finally seeing what the public saw a long time ago.
