William and Kate: engagement and relationship rumours and musings 2009

[ghost_night554]

It's hardly Williams fault some of you people haven't been on vacation in so long, and it's hardly fair to say William doesn't work, just because it's not documented for the world to see doesn't mean he doesn't work, same thin goes for Kate anyways doesn't he start an attachment with the RAF next month.

If Kate is to marry William she needs to have done something with her life that the public can recognise and respect

Are they engaged yet and was she at sandringham? It's the same old same old each year.

You see it is all in how people perceive them to be. With priviledge comes responsibility. William will inherit a throne someday and he needs to cultivate a relationship with his future subjects. Someone in his position needs to come across as responsible, thoughful and respectful.
It does not matter what he does and how he does it. He needs to keep up appearances. Whether they have an understanding or he strings her along, the way it looks they get along just fine when he is available and life goes on. Her mother's "interview" was not denied by the Middletons and the way some see it, it may have been an act of desperation on her part to get William to decide to ask her hand in marriage.

Her family was probably advised not to issue a denial, as once you start reacting to the lies, they wouldn't have time to run a business.

If William does ask for Kate's hand, lets hope the Middletons say NO. Having seen the comments posted about their daughter now, they might have some idea of what will be said/invented after any engagement.

Surprise, surprise, I agree with you! Work wise William is in a difficult situation, there was very little released on his placements with the SAS or any of the other elite services he has had a taster of and some people presume he has been sat on his hands these last weeks. Apart from postings to war zones, all service personnel are entitled to holidays which might include extra days they have built up. Again with Kate, just because she is not seen on the tube every day people are presuming she is not working her socks off.

They are able to take luxury holidays, just like many others in the UK and I would imagine, all over the world.

In reality, there is very little Kate can do with her life, that would satisfy everyone or be called 'worthwhile'. As it stands she is merely dating William and is under no obligation to please anyone other than herself!

In the meantime she is pleasing William...

But how do we know that William has not been down on one knee and begged for her hand in marriage, only for her to disdainfully turn away. After all he may be her plaything!

[Menarue]

What Sky? Prince William a toyboy? Heaven Help Us.

[Lady Ann]

Now there would be a turn in events lol.....

I really do not know how it works but if I were in Carole's position and my daughter was the subject of that speculation, I'd make sure people knew I did not doubt William for a second.
Do you honestly believe that William will ask for her hand and the Middletons will say NO??

[GovGen]

Until she exits the church on William's arm as Princess Catherine, what she does, how she lives her life, where she does it, and with whom is completely her business and no one else's, certainly not anyone on the internet. And especially since she has not been officially acknowledged by William nor the Queen nor Prince Charles as William's girlfriend.

Yes, maybe that’s the way it should be, but when she is out with William is she fair game for the media or not? If you’re a private person with a public figure, think you have to expect the intrusions and be ready for them. And being associated with William (very high profile in Britain with future direction/responsibilities already known), whoever he is with will always be vetted by both the media and his family. Whether fair or not, that is the way it goes with him. Since Kate has been with him for 4-5 yrs now, despite no acknowledgement, there is probably reasonable expectation for her and family to act responsibly, even while in the shadows of the spotlight. Ironically, it will probably be easier for her family after marriage.

[Menarue]

But the question, marriage to whom?

Although I can't imagine it that would certainly be quite a sight one I would love to see!

[Kezza]

Well he needs to get a move on then! I dont want to read another thing on Kate this year until he either pops the question or moves on from her for good.

I'm getting fed up with this limbo garbage.

So am I ............ but I still read this thread.

[Kezza]

I know it addictive.

[carinthia]

sorry, girls, I am not keen on this kate middleton and find, that she is a boring person, who will not bring an affirmative incentive for the british monarchy.

waiting for years for that prince....ask yourself, will she also be waiting for william if he would be a taxi-driver?...and that is the point: is she a calculating person, or should be discussed about the other point of view in this matter: is it the real, the true love, that is worth to wait and wait, to sit it out and hope for the positive acquisition of this affair.

[Jo of Palatine]

If they really spend a week up there and arrived on New Year's Eve, the 6. is included which would make for a perfect occasion for an announcement.

[msleiman]

I just wish that they would stop playing all of these games and get on with it! If they are going to get married then why keep putting it off!
