Add to the fact that there isn't any news and it all becomes very boring.

I think if Wills and Kate get married, they'll give us enough to keep us from getting bored.

In fact, Kate reminds me of one of Charles' old girlfriends, Lady Jane Wellesley, and that lady had some spunk.

Maybe that's why they didn't get married.

I agree with you Ysbel. I think Kate will make a lovely princess and someday consort and will have cute kids with William as well.

I think Kate shall make a very good consort.

If the poppies should ever start to grow, I'm sure she shall be pruned back down to size but other than that I feel very positive about her

What is a WAG?

A WAG is a wife or girlfriend of a footballer. Victoria Beckham is the Queen WAG. :)
If you saw the show on BBC America - Footballer's Wives - those are WAGS.

Although now I think the WAG expression is used in any sport. I saw it recently used for golf.

But usually WAGS have a connotation of being very low brow. Most golfer's wives don't fall under that catageory.

Thats right. WAGS are extremely chavvy, very common and extremely tacky. Golfer's wives tend to have a bit of class and are usually called Golf Widows not Golf WAGS.

Well actually the term is more exclusive than I had thought. www.acronymfinder.com limits a WAG to a wife or girlfriend of an English football player. I guess the wives and girlfriends of the German, French or Italian players aren't WAG-gy enough

Maybe Harry is just showing solidarity with English footballers. What is it about these English men? Hmmm.

They are not getting married anytime soon. William has a commitment to The Queen to complete his military service and take up his public duties before asking permission to marry.

A marriage for Kate is at least two years away in my opinion.

I agree with you branchg.

In New Zealand "wag" also means to stay awayfrom school illegal. A slang word for playing truant.
