It could be that William is moving on from Kate because either the relationship has run its course, or he is starting to feel the pressure from not just the media but the courtiers who are rumored to be trying to shove him down the isle of matrimony and he is rebelling against this. Of course that's if this story has an ounce of truth to it.

Which I doubt. Poor William. Poor Kate. I'll bet he says to her all the time about the press: "I warned you."

It must be pretty tough to be dating a member of the royal family. The pressure must be enormous to always put on a good show for both family and public, especially where there is media around. It doesn't appear one has any downtime to just get on with it and live life with all of its ups & downs being slung at you. Most of us who have had a temporary breakup with boyfriends/girlfriends know the gut wrenching pain we sometimes go through or the ticked off feeling we have for the one who has broken our heart. We just get on with it and put on our best face or sometimes we wear our heart on our sleeve for everyone to see.

God it would be awful to be constantly looking around you to see if there's a Nikon focusing in on you all the time. No time for a sneeze, a scratch, a tear, a yell, a disagreement, a spilt drink on one's clothes or anything like that. I sort of feel sorry for anyone in either of these two positions. Him knowing it's going to be reported back to her because of who he is and his visibility; and, her getting upset or appearing upset sending alarm signals for the world to see. Dating a royal family member is like a co-starring role in The Truman Show.

I agree that it must be most unpleasant having these articles about, whether true or not. I cant imagine when William would have had the time to be having too many drinks and kissing someone. Who could it have been? I was under the impression that at almost every opportunity Will and Kate were together.

generally its the price of fame, specifically (not Kate's case) its the price of wearing prada, dior, valentino and jimmy choo.. on taxpayers' credit

Anyway!! Rumor that Kate and Chelsy have been invited to stay at Windsor Castle for part of Christmas celebration with their boyfriends. That's very nice to include the young ladies finally, if true.

I thought the XMAS celebration was at Sandringham this year?

Suddenly they are seen together for the first time in several weeks. Maybe it is true that they had a "cooling-off" period. Doesn't bode well for the relationship much less an "understanding." Interesting photo op coming amid the buzz about problems in their relationship.

lot's of people have a "cooling off period" and if that's what works for you then maybe it's not a bad thing.

Just because they have not been seen together in public does not mean there has been a "cooling off" period in their relationship. We have only the tabloids and the paparrazzi photos to guide us.

Very well said. Many are celebrating their rumored breakup. Then a cold dose of reality shows up in the form of pictures of them together. I still believe they are thick as thieves. Good for Kate & Willy!!

You're right. At first it was reported Windsor but then reports came out that indeed it is another Christmas at Sandringham.

Here's one for the naysayers: Kate smiles!
