A few questions
I am wondering about a few things concerning this young couple. I obviously don't know either one, but the impressions that I have gathered from watching the news about them for a while are not necessarily favorable. First of all, Kate is twenty-five and has never really worked. I know plenty of young women from wealthy families who are far more useful and independent than she is. They work, they have careers, they are not constantly in night clubs until the early morning. As far as her worries about press intrusion, why is it that when she and William broke up she was constantly hanging out in various places that were guaranteed to bring her press attention? I am not saying that she should have gone underground, but she really seemed intent on getting her face (along with her skin tight short skirts) in the papers. Further, the pictures I saw of her with the charity rowers were a joke. Every other girl had their hair pulled back -- there is Kate with her hair down and makeup. I find it hard to believe that she just wanted to "blend in" with the girls. Then, when she is "back" with William, she drops out of the race so as not to distract anyone, and then the powers that be complain about her being bothered by the press. As far as William is concerend, I don't understand all of the free time and vacation time he has. I know several young men who are serving in the armed forces in this country, and I can assure you, they are not in night clubs and jetting off to various locations for fancy vacations. (I also found it strange that Harry's commanding office told him that he could have two weeks off to get over his disappointment about not going to Iraq.??!!) Is it just me, or are William and Kate coming across as incredibly entitled, rather lazy individuals? One thing about Diana -- whether you liked her or not -- I think that she always demonstrated a very strong work ethic. Is this something that perhaps did not get passed down to her eldest son? Diana also disliked the big drinking, nightclub scene. Would she have been happy about her sons' behavior in this regard? Kate and William may be very well-suited to one another; but whether there is any sense of duty there is another story. I am not British, but I have a feeling that a lot of Republicans in that country are having a good laugh. The Queen's sense of duty is incredible -- as any of this been passed down to her grandchildren? As far as the interviews I saw of William and Harry around the time of the Concert for Diana, I could not believe how poorly spoken and awkward William was. Harry came across far better. William may be shy and dislike the press, but a young man of his age and good education should have been much better spoken than he was. Any thoughts on any of this?
Nevertheless, they are back together! 
It's nice to see photographic evidence that Prince William and Catherine Middleton are actually together. The photos certainly help to validate the many articles that have been published saying that they have been back together for a while.
