It is rather unwise on Miss Middleton's part to quit job, even if some favourable developments are underway.
ABSOLUTELY! I agree! It just gives her "what a spoilt girl I am"-image, even if she deserves peace and quiet as we all do.

Having been a royalty watcher, a couple of decades before Diana was on the scene, I have a "feeling"...pure speculation....that we might, just might hear an announcement of Wills and Kate's engagement in a couple of weeks around the 21st of November to coincide with HMTQ's and DOE's celebration.
Kate leaving her job would give her a cushion of time for her to make decisions with the people involved in nuptial plans!!!
I bet they plan a wedding for April!
I also think that Diana understood the importance of duty and hard work. I'm not saying that she always made the smartest decisions, but I think that she was truly committed to giving of herself. I think that she would have thought Kate was the typical, indulged, lazy rich girl.

That would be horrible. I would lose my respect for William to be so stupid and for the Queen to approve the marriage.
(Diana was supposedly always the stricter parent.) .
The Queen doesn't need to approve at this point...he's old enough to make his own decisions...
Sometimes I think Kate will be left high and dry in the end, but I think the reality is that she is for sure the #1 candidate to be future queen...whether people like it or not.
I never read that! Diana was very keen on children feeling affirmed and loved. When William's first nanny was fired, apparently it was on the insistence of Charles and the Queen because they got concerned that whenever William misbehaved, the nanny would just give him a hug. Later the nanny complained that when she tried to discipline the boys, Diana would override her and let the boys do what they wanted. Who knows what to believe but even her bodyguard who saw her with her children a lot never said she was a particularly strict parent.
But I don't think Charles was that strict either, and given his upbringing by Prince Philip, that is understandable but I think with two parents who were more relaxed than strict the boys were used to doing what they wanted.
In this situation, Miss Middleton is likely to be "sacrificed", if the public opinion turns out to be extremely negative. It is not late to do so.No offense, but you live in the U.S., of course you feel that way...but some people who moves or lives in the U.K., like me, should considers to think about the future monarchs who will be responsible for Great Britain. I study European history, there was so many ill decisions by Kings and Queens, which caused them to be removed or exiled. Thats just my opinion.

I mean there are plenty of people who can't stand Camilla either...but she's still there...
Well I really don't think the public should have any say on who their royalty marries...that's ridiculous and these are modern times not ancient. I mean there are plenty of people who can't stand Camilla either...but she's still there...and her reputation is certainly not something to be proud of. But there she stands...she made it. That's just my opinion...whether I'm from the US or not...it is what it is...reality.
See no one didn't like Camilla because of her reputation in the past, but the people grew to like her because of her new role as a Duchess, participating in organizations and charities...she also made Prince Charles happy. When you are political, it is important to see who marries who when it comes to royalty. See in some countries, including the U.S. that have Presidents they are elected on their role in making the country well for a certain time, but for the future Queen or King, whom ever they marry is important, for they are in control for the rest of their life or abdicated; mostly likely is "rest of their life". That is why its important for William to make a good choice, because he is the Future of U.K.
I see your point but I also think Kate is the biggest possibility...her popularity is actually very good at this point and she has a level of mystery to help. I know we were discussing a tide turning in the press but it wasn't so bad...I mean nothing like Camilla has got over the years.
I mean it's the same with Chlesy too...people think she's too trashy but you know...they're going to make their own choices. Despite public opinion and the Queen's opinion, I think. And it doesn't seem like HM is as opinionated on these issues as her mother was...plenty of books say she doesn't really confront on these specific issues.
I seriously don't think Chelsy has a better image with the press than Kate.
I think that the young Diana wasn't that much different from the young Kate - Kate seems to be more self-cofidence and more worldly than Diana, but Diana didn't excel at school, plan a career or do charity work in a big way until she was a young wife. So I suppose she might dislike Kate, for whatever reasons, but could certainly see some similarities to her own youth.
At least Diana was nominally employed until she was engaged to the Prince of Wales.
what a blinder a certain Miss Middleton played while they were "separated" there should be a book on how to re-catch your prince it would read something like this:-
Rules
1) do not appear upset in the public in fact put on the appearance that ending the relationship was actually a relief
2) smile for the cameras it might be the only free publicity i will ever get again in my life - MILK IT!! (Not only good for me but also the company i work - check sales figures for Jigsaw did they rise while Kate worked there)
3) go out clubbing every night of the week and make sure i get my photo taken a some point
4) change your wardrobe to suit your age - wear the lowest cut tops without looking like you are about to get on page 3 but yet still low enough to catch the attention of the press
5) dramtically raise the hemline of your skirt
6) do not sell your story to any paper
7) keep using william's friends to get into all the right and happening places
8) BE SEEN TO ENJOY YOURSELF - flirt with everyone
9) make a double act with your sister who happens to have also recently split uip with her boyfriend
AND FINALLY
be prepared for the call from william saying he has made a mistake and realises that he is nothing without you - deliberate for a few seconds and then run back to his side
Especially, Duchess of Cornwal with her valuable experience in the field of complicated personal relationships.It also helps to have Charles and Camilla on your side.
I don't think Kate Middleton worked at Jigsaw without getting paid, so she was employed there and I'm sure she's not just going to polish her nails and wait for William to propose in the future - even if she'd like to, I think she's too clever for that.
