I saw the cover in E! and is great, Naturally we don't know if the story is true.
Actually, they made the cover of the October 17, 2005 People magazine issue titled "William's Princess?" It was followed by the same frenzy (dreamy speculation and denials) that is now featured in this video clip from CBS news.ysbel said:William and Kate made the cover of People. That's a first for them! Hope its not a sign of things to come for them in the American press.
The cover shot was only of William with a small inset photo of Kate. Since they've been photographed together so often, you'd think they would have picked one with them together.ysbel said:William and Kate made the cover of People. That's a first for them!

There were these rumors when Harry was at this point in his training? Harry did not get it.HRH Kimetha said:The prince is one of six in the running, according to this article that may be true or not.

".......But the source played down the machinegun incident, saying the prince was intellectually and militarily so exceptional that he remained a strong contender for the Sword of Honour.
Skydragon said:To me, that is the one thing that should really matter! Not so good intellectually or militarily to lose a machine gun for 5 minutes, let alone over 2 hours and not have the courage or honour to report it's loss, at once!
If we were talking about any other cadet, it wouldn't matter how brilliant they are, how high their scores are, how many qualifications they have, they would NOT be in the running for any award, if they had misplaced a machine gun!
Still what am I talking about, ask any 'soldier' and they will tell you how unfair the Army is!
Skydragon,when his brother was at this point in his training do you believe that Cadet now Cornet H.Wales Sword of Honour?Skydragon said:To me, that is the one thing that should really matter!

If it's like in the US at West Point and for the other military academies, as well as 'boot camp,' then it'll be part of the passing out.Incas said:I think he will probably get the honor. For the simple reason he is the second in line to the throne. It's the same reason Prince Charles got a promotion on his birthday. It's not PC but sure looks good on the front page. Just curious: do they do a special ceremony for the award or just part of the passing out parade?
Skydragon said:I believe 100% that he did 'mislay' the machine gun.
Why would the MOD or RMAS make it up? With the 'new policy' of rebuttals, I am equally sure that if it was untrue, CH would have spoken out!
