I just get the feeling that those two will talk things about over some time. They've been together for a long time. Not sure they're going their separate ways and not speak to each other. If there's still a spark of love there, they'll talk things through. Could be just a bump in the road.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear about them getting back together some time in the future.
Of course we have no idea why they split in the first place, we can only second guess.

I don't expect them to get back together, or more to the point, I don't think that they should. Some people say it's like William and Kate, who broke up for a while only to get back together, but that happened 3 or 4 years after they finished university, and they were both 26. Dave is 32 and has been working and with Beatrice for 10 years. I just think that if he didn't want to marry her after all this time, then why would she want to marry him now? Beatrice should be with a man who is sure about her and knows he wants to spend the rest of his life with her.

William and Catherine were 24 and 25 when they had their brief split. Also they graduated in 2005, so it was closer to two years after uni.

I don't know if Dave and Beatrice will get back together, heck I don't know if they really split or if it's just tabloid mischief. But if it's the former then I'm not worried about Beatrice. I think she'd move on relatively quickly, like she did after her last breakup. When her and Paolo split, it was only a few months later she was smitten with Dave. I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the year she was in a relationship either with Dave or a new man, with her being happy as a clam. She looked cheery in her birthday pic that her friend posted, too.

No one knows what's really going on with Beatrice and Dave. If they really did split, it could be that they hit a bump in the road. It could be they split for good. No one really know the real situation. Sometimes this happens to couples. Sometimes couples decide to take some time apart to figure out some things, and sometimes couples decide to simply move on.

I'm guessing this story is to be continued...

Neither do I.
I read that Beatrice sounded out Dave about a possible marriage in 2015 but didn't get a satisfactory response.

(I think he used her to advance his career and didn't really care about her. She ought to move on and find somebody better).

Well, you were right about Pippa and Nico, so I'll trust your judgement on Beatrice and Dave.

Now that I think about it, Nico and Dave kind of remind me of each other for some reason.

I wonder if Beatrice has her own James Matthews in her life. I know she's longtime friends with Sam Goldstone, does she have any other close male friends?
 
Oops, I was wrong about William and Kate's ages - for some reason I was calculating it as though they were born in 1981 and not 1982. Then they were even younger than I thought when they broke up, which fits what they later said in their engagement interview that they were still young and 'finding themselves.'

Well, Beatrice hasn't been seen with Dave in public for about 2 months, and no one has come out to contradict the story, so I think that they did split. If the split wasn't over marriage, then maybe it would be different, but so far the rumour is that they split because Dave didn't want to marry her. If he didn't know he wanted to marry her, after 10 years and at the age of 32, then if Beatrice were my friend I would hope for her to find someone new. Every girl (and guy!) should be with someone who loves them enough to be sure about them. Not sure at the outset, necessarily, but sure after 10 years.

Rumors are just rumors. We have no idea what's really going on with Bea and Dave. I'm just saying that this story is to be continued.

Ah, shades of Chris, Swedish Princess Madeleine's husband. :cool: That threat would be enough to scare off anyone, methinks. ;)

Well, if it took him 10 years to figure out the ramifications of marrying Beatrice, he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer! If indeed they really split for that reason, then the only reason he can have stayed with her so long would be "connections", and that would make him pond scum. However, for Beatrice, it would have been devastating. Nobody likes to be used and certainly not publically humiliated.
Lady Nimue said:
And who knows, maybe she already has. ;) New fella, maybe? One never knows.

I would doubt it. Beatrice has spent ten years exclusively with Dave so unless she met someone and lightening struck and it was "True Love", then she will be a real "Princess Bride"! ;)

I don't claim to be an expert, but I did read in another paper that, while Beatrice got a lot of criticism for all those holidays, it was actually Dave who couldn't resist, and Beatrice has trouble telling him no.

That doesn't rule out their reunion; in fact, if the invitations start to dry up, it wouldn't surprise me to see Dave come crawling back.
I hope Beatrice knows better now.
 
When Dave worked for Branson I assumed he needed to mingle w/ the very wealthy to sell them those future flights into space. Now that he's w/ Uber it wouldn't matter so much, I assume.
W/ Beatrice reportedly wanting to go into managing other people's money, she'll need to mix and mingle w/ those who have money to persuade them to invest in whatever fund/venture she's w/.
That said, last year Bea and Dave where on Russian oligarch Abramovich's yacht in August (which I dubbed the 'Oprah trip' due to the photos of Bea and Oprah chatting on a neighboring yacht) this August there's been no mention of a similar jaunt for Bea nor has Dave surfaced as being on vacation anywhere.
Sometimes couples stay together long after the relationship's sell by date has passed - it may be convenience, habit, or in some cases one partner wants it to end but the other doesn't and the partner who wants it to end doesn't have the courage to end it or tries to end it but the clinging partner persuades them to keep trying to 'make it work.'
I can't say what the situation is w/ Bea and Dave, but I find it interesting that after he changed jobs & relocated to the USA Bea followed. At the time I assumed it was something they had planned together, but now I'm not so sure, taking the USA job may have been Dave's way of gently finishing the relationship, figuring time and distance would help it reach a natural or less painful end which was thwarted by Bea promptly relocating as well.
 
I hate when the Daily Mail makes it seem like Bea is on vacation 24/7. I don't know about anyone else but I haven't seen or heard about her since July,(unless you count the breakup)because she most likely is WORKING.
 
hmm

well that's awkward. At least they seem amicable enough to be around each other


And bea was at the first day if virgin strive challenge or maybe she meant she''d eventually meet up with them?

I did notice things seem to slip by the press now, but then again it wouldn't fit the bea's a wreck without dave storyline since breakup.

I think the couple is still talking to each other of course. I think there's more to come from those two.

A coincidence, or a date?

Well since Dave was there Thurs. and Bea on Friday it wasn't a date. Interesting that Dave shows up and the very next day Bea shows up.

I meant a date with Barbara Bush!

Looks to me like Dave Clark is busy networking!

I think William was right about him, he's a user.
Now he's working in the USA and doesn't need Beatrice any more, so he's finding a new social crowd.

She's better off without him. But she doesn't look happy.

Not sure that's fair to say.
 
I just think Beatrice and Dave dated a bit too long. When Beatrice got to her mid-twenties, 24/25, and there was no proposal (always supposing she wanted one, of course,) then questions should have been asked then.

If a relationship drifts on for nearly a decade and there's still no living together, no ring, no sound of wedding bells, starting a family etc, then IMO there's something up, and maybe it's just gone into affectionate friends territory.

I don't think they'll get back together, but the DM, in their usual fashion, probably photographed Beatrice at a boring part of the afternoon. Perhaps when waiting for a match to begin. Her escort looks a bit bored too and I don't think we should read too much into it, actually.

I always used to think Dave's smile must have been sewn on, we saw it so constantly!

Maybe not, but...escorting Barbara Bush?

That doesn't indicate a red flag to you?

No real red flags here but perhaps he has a love of tricolored elephants?
 
I still think with Bea and Dave there's a wait and see going on. I think it's just a bump in the road for a couple that's been dating a long time and was just seen happily together over the summer. I don't think the relationship just dropped just like that.

I think it's now down to a period of space and figuring out the next step. Longtime couples go through this on a regular bases.

This is going way out on a limb and then perching precariously on a flimsy twig but Barbara Bush brought an odd thought to my mind.

OK. Dave is an American (dual citizenship actually) and has been seen in the company of the daughter of a former Republican US president. It is an election year. How does one escort a daughter of a former Republican US president? Could it be that Dave somehow has affiliations with the RNP and is actively working behind the scenes for a candidate?

Could Beatrice and Dave have called off their public relationship because of possibly having Beatrice as a Princess of the UK somehow linked to all the political rumor mongering and slander slinging going on from now until November? I can see the DM cackling with glee as it announced that Beatrice supports Trump for president solely because she is with Dave and Dave was with Barbara and so on. Rumors have been started on much less.

Could they be playing be safe rather than be sorry and create a political mountain out of a molehill?

Told you it was really far fetched idea. I have odd thoughts like this sometimes. Maybe I'm seeing too many tricolored elephants and need more coffee? :D
