This story is ridiculous, a week ago The Daily Mail ran stories that Kate was definitely going to be at Sandringham for Christmas. Proved wrong ( yet again) they make up the story that Kate says she won't go until she's married. The reality is that none of the girlfriends of the royals get invited to Christmas at Sandringham! Sophie when she was dating Edward was so involved with the royal family that she was invited on their annual holidays on the Britannia. In November 1997 (Long before she was engaged to Edward) Sophie was sitting front and centre with Edward and the Queen and DoE at the decommisioning ceremony of the Britannia. Yet Sophie before her marriage was never at Sandringham for Christmas.

Last year Kate and her mother were photographed in London at the sales on Boxing Day, so the article was wrong.

Ooooh! Isn't that the sort of comment that gets you frozen out by the Royals? This is going to be very interesting.

Catherine did, apparently, go to the ball and I'm sure at some point pictures will surface. Just like at Harry's passing out, nobody was supposed to take pictures except the official army photographer and we all saw how someone added to his income, by taking and selling some!

I think the press is having a field day with Kate the last few days. First the article about reading her lips at William's graduation from Sandhurst and then the article about snobbing the royal family for not attending Christmas.

I think the press is after her because there is no announcment of a wedding.

The Daily Mail really is too much sometimes. But I suppose there are still a few people out there who take that paper seriously. Whatever sells more copies, I suppose...

The NEWS OF THE WORLD has one picture, bad quality like the Chelsy one. I assume it is a phone picture, Kate has a long, floaty white dress on.

Anyone who follows the Royals should know she would not have been invited for Christmas lunch, this will be reserved for William's finacee or wife.

If Kate is to be William's wife in the future then she is right to spend as many Christmas periods with her family while she can.

I doubt Kate was invited to spend Christmas and go to church with the RF in the first place. The DM is just covering its butt with that ridiculous story about Kate turning down an invitation from the Queen. And why would she be invited? She's not engaged to William. One thing we know about QEII is that she holds to tradition in these circumstances. She didn't even attend her own son's civil wedding, only the CoE blessing ceremony. And if she invited Kate, wouldn't she have to invite the beau of Zara Phillips and girlfriend of her brother too?

Kate Middleton pegged to be the next British princess

London- She's pretty, but not drop dead gorgeous. She's clever, but quiet. She's got style, but she's not showy. The British public has made up its mind.
