IN case you woke up this morning and asked yourselves, "Selves, is Prince William going to really finally eventu ally marry this Kate Middleton pip he's been dating?" At least that's what I wondered when I woke up, and here's what one court-watcher replied:
"He has to. Been seeing her too long not to. It would be another embarrassment for the Palace. The Queen's accepted her at events, which means she's got the royal approval. Understand, he's not all that easy and affable as he comes off. He's a bit of an arrogant young man who expects people to bow and scrape."
And Middleton herself? "Not smart. Hasn't picked up a book in her life. But very calculating. Her mother's been planning this her whole life. And she knew how to play hard to get."
"The wedding will probably be next year after he finishes military service. Face it, London is very depressed. The Crown could use a royal wedding at this point."
