William was definitely there too. You can see him in many of the pics. Zembla, doesn't it say in the Tatler article that William is dating Jecca Craig?
Also Emilie, their mom, was definitely there. There was a pic of her arriving at the concert and you can see her in some of the pics in the rows.

Tatler says William is now dating a girl called Rosie Ruck Keane, she's 24. She's not that cute...her face looks alittle old. But apparently she was spotted at Mahiki with both the Wills after the prince supposedly split with Kate back in April.

Jecca was positioned right near Hugh at the Diana concert...if he was dating Jecca, I don't know why dumped her cause she's so beautiful.

I know she is really pretty huh? Her eyes are exotic. Thanks for answering though. Yeah, now that you mention that Rosie Keane, I think I vaguely remember the picture. She was okay I think but not striking.

Didn't Prince William used to date Jecca too?

[CasiraghiTrio]

Apparently so, indeed. The common scoop is that they met in Kenya when he worked on her daddy's game reserve during his gap year, and the rumor is that they even had a "pretend engagement". Google her name. You will find it all.

Does anyone know anything about Rosie Ruck-Keene apart from being William van Cutsem's girlfriend?

.

we dont know what she's like. she might have a really sparkling personality. all i really know about her is that she seems to prefer geriatric unflattering outfitis. but that's easily remedied.

i've read that they've known each since childhood. that's a good foundation for a happy marriage.

Not really. One sees her name crop up in Tatler Little Black Book and tabloid stories about William's friends. For example:

ROSIE RUCK KEENE: An old and trusted friend who William partied with on Friday night as the split became public. The pair danced at Mahiki, but were with her boyfriend William van Cutsem.

Source: The Daily Mirror

Apparently she ran for a charity marathon in Dublin and plays polo.... As for pics of her, there is only the pic in the Tatler issue for October 2007 that I know of. I don't actually have the issue, though. I just perused through it in a bookstore.


BTW, several posts upward, I asked a question about the van Cutsem heritage. I wasn't sure whether they are Belgian or Dutch by descent. But I found out for sure, kelly9480 is right: Their heritage is definitely Belgian.

Maybe this isn't the place to ask, if it isn't sorry feel free to delete this, but does anyone have any pictures of the Grosvenor family? I really want to see some current pics of Tamara's younger siblings and the Duke and Duchess. Is there a thread just on Grosvneors?

As for those two Van Cutsem marriages, I think the one with the straight hair who married the red head, well, I wouldn't be surprised if that marriage was probably for more than love on his part. She looks like she battles her wait valiantly but is losing the fight. She looks larger than him in some photos, especially one where she has on a green sweater, long skirt and he is holding an umbrella. She looks dowdy next to his very handsome/dapper look. Very sad photo. (If you go to Getty Images and type "Van Cutsem," you will see the photo. Bless her heart.) He on the other hand looks like a playboy and she looks like the rather plain, rich girl of average looks who is fighting her weight, who he's with for her connections. I have seen photos of him with some knockouts on his arm before his current wife.

As for the Van Cutsem brother with the dark curly hair and the funny eyes, he and his wife (Rose Astor, I think is her name) seem better matched.

I'm sure I'm totally wrong about all of it but the pictures of them are kind of....telling....

But, if they are both happy, then that's all that counts.

There was a lot of snickering and speculation a the time of their engagement as his friends said that he always preferred model-type girlfriends, and all of a sudden he's engaged to Tamara who is evidently a very sweet and unaffected person. Only time will tell...

Well, Tamara is the daughter of one of the riches men in Great Britain.. ;-)

I have never been impressed with this family...hangers-on all of them right up to the parents.
