What he like in her?
Hmmm... Maybe her eyes, maybe her body (legs, hands, ears), maby her hair or smile, maybe her sense or sensibility, maybe something in her soul what we can't see... Who knows what does Wills like about her? Maybe private she is a little bit different as we se her on TV, press? As her official image.
We can only say maybe and try to guess because we really don't know her.

I think they are good for each other. Both cherish discretion and seem to enjoy the other's company.

Kate is a strong, independant woman and William needs that because of his mother having problems when she was alive and died when he was a teenager.

My brothers went to Eton with him and Harry and told me one time when William was a child, Diana was crying in the bathroom and William pushed a letter under the door that read 'Don't cry Mummy'.

William needs a woman who can emotional take care of him, like maternally.

As I said in the other thread, we don't encourage personal revelations by people claiming to know royals or to know people who know people who know royals. We have no way of knowing if those claims are true.

While I'm sure it's very nice for you that your brother went to school with William and your friend went to school with Kate, I'm afraid those personal anecdotes fall under the heading of gossip on this site, which isn't permitted.

I don't think the royal family will prevent Will or Harry from marrying who they wish as long as the girl wasn't an ex prostiture or something that severe. I think given the track record of various other royals in the family I think the queen will be far more lenient.

Yes I think that Kate is a nice quiet but independant young lady. I usually dont approve of rich people marrying one another (i think that it is more political than heartfelt) but they actually seem to be suited for one another.

There's really not anything wrong with a rich person marrying a poor person as long as they are in love with each other and are compatible, but I find there isn't anything wrong with two rich people marrying. But, I do agree with you when old money marries with another who has old money. And, all of this is inherited unearned money usually leads a hedonistic life, which is what is happening right now with both of the boys escaping to other parts of the world vacationing whenever time permits. Pure gratification. I don't recall hearing Bill Gates taking alot of vacations.

I think that perhaps the army and their charities are a front to a lifestyle that is beyond yours (whoever reads this that is royal) and mine that we could never imagine.

What circumstances do you feel that two rich people should marry?

he probably just finds taht something special which makes his heart beat faster...and by time he still finds himself comfortable. i think, and hope, taht they are a normal couple with 'simple' feelings...though aware of his, and her potential, responsabilities. i think that he has lived his mother's pain, and his own pain when his parents marriage came to an end, so i think that he is fully cautious and will only get married at the right time, and when they will both be sure that hopefully their marriage will last forever and ever.

I don't know. I have wondered how Catherine will adjust to the "duty" part of the deal. In the years of her being the "girlfriend," as she has become more acquainted with the 'Highgrove set,' I think she has mastered the 'jet set' or hedonistic aspect. Of course, in all fairness to her, that is the easy part, and certainly no one would blame her for loving it. But it might be a rude awakening when she is going on State tours and she can only put her head down for a few hours before going to an Embassy breakfast, followed by a meeting with the Prime Minister So-and-so, and a walkabout or whatever, then a speech/luncheon event, a ribbon-cutting, and finally a banquet for the host royals or head of state, all the while during which Catherine still has terrible jet lag...But she won't get much sleep after the banquet, since she has to dance with numerous dignitaries and stays there until 2am, and the next day she and William have to travel to a neighboring town or village...
In short, the royals have lovely vacations, but some of their engagements are downright annoying, or exhausting, or stupid. It's actually a credit to many of them that they are Amphetamines addicts.
But I think the Windsors are among the less hedonistic of all the royal families. They can be hedonistic, to be sure, as most wealthy families can and do, but when you compare them to the European royal families, like the Liechtensteins or the Grimaldis, the Windsors are actually fairly disciplined.

Thanks for your response. Especially the Grimaldis! And, the British anti-monarchists Parliament, anti-monarchists taxpayers, etc. do keep the BRF in check for everything and don't like to even pay them for their duties and would just love to do away with the monarchy, but probably steal their property and money as well. So, they are checked.

I think that story about William pushing tissues were from that Morton book.

It's more natural for people of approximate means to get together and feel comfortable about having a relationship than for two people from vastly different financial background. For one thing, one party will always be labeled as gold-diggers. Kate's family seems to have sufficient means to support her up to now. My guess is she probably doesn't feel inferior to other rich offsprings when she goes on holidays with them.

I do not think that the two are a good match. I find Autumn Kelly (now Mrs. Phillips) way more charming and appealing than Catherine Middleton. Even Chelsy has a character while Ms. Middleton is always (supposedly) doing the right thing.

Isn't it too early to be doing everything right?

Of course, I wish both of them a stable relationship as it is only the two of them who know why they are together.

I notice some people have said they are surprised that William is not marrying someone like Diana. Kate may not be blond and she seems more emotionally stable than Diana, but I still see quite a few similarities between Kate and Diana. Actually, I've assumed for a while that William likes Kate at least partially because she's like his mom. We all think of Diana as this media star, but before she was married and in the early days of her marriage, she was publicly quite shy. From the limited video footage I've seen of Kate, she has similar shy, reserved mannerisms.

Diana was very concerned with her image and her appearance, and Kate is too. How I do I know this? I've almost never seen Kate in casual clothes or looking slightly unkempt. Other royals, for example the Queen, Camilla, or Zara Phillips--I've seen them dress perfectly on official royal occasions and also dress down when occasion required, plus they show a lot more flexibility in wearing colours. Sure, I've seen Kate dress informally, but even pictures of Kate shopping show her dressed up and usually in black. Usually when people wear a lot of expensive clothes in black, it suggests they're quite careful about their image.

The other thing is that Diana, it seems, never wanted a career--was quite eager to get married and have children. I don't believe Kate is "doing nothing", but she is not someone who is passionate about pursuing a career, or by age 26 she would at least show a stronger direction towards some career than she's chosen now. Zara Phillips is passionate about riding horses, Chelsy is working towards a law career, Princess Beatrice obviously loves fashion (whether or not you think she should pursue a career in that area!). Kate has dabbled in clothing retail and photography but I haven't seen any clear passion. So it seems possible to me that she mainly wants to get married and raise children. There's nothing wrong with that. But it does make me see similarities to Diana, again.

Interesting view. Thanks for sharing!

It depends what you call casual clothes, I think. Even as a youngster I rarely wore 'colours', always black with a subtle top and my daughters are the same when going out. When in the English countryside, it tends to be Greens or Browns, Green wellies, brogues etc. Scotland depends on the occasion (Tartan for formal 'inhouse'), the only exceptions really are joddies. Catherine might just like black or drak colours.

Sorry Mermaid1962, I didn't see this until now. Joddies are Jodhpurs, which are the normal attire for riding. They used to be huge on the hip/upper leg to allow for 'spread' (imagige a key shape) and suede on the knee area, to stop chaffing. Now, due to lovely Lycra they just have the extra padding on the knee.

Perhaps it is more that she was raised in such a way that she does not air her dirty laundry in public, and she is circumspect about her activities. It's a pity when we've been so jaded by the horrible manners and lack of class from celebrities that we assume that is normal, and when someone is going about their life without scandal, it's all of a sudden that they are trying to be Mr/MRs Perfect, and of course they must be hiding something.

Perhaps Ms Middleton just has more class and graciousness about her and was raised right. Frankly, I see nothing wrong with the way she behaves, and am glad to see someone in the media that is not drunk, high on something, stealing, sleeping around, or god knows what else.

This should be the norm. I was raised this way, and I imagine alot of other people were as well. We've just become so imbued with a sense of "we have to know everything about everyone" that if there is nothing to know, then we automatically assume worse.

It's sad.
