Kate Middleton romance gets more press
The newspapers are still insisting that the now-you-see-it now-you-don’t romance between Kate Middleton and Prince William is hitting new heights.
Yesterday, one tabloid apparently printed exclusive pictures showing the pair enjoying an intimate candlelit drink together before they headed to the dancefloor at the Concert for Diana aftershow party.
A “friend” commented, “Kate was dancing so sexily in front of Wills that chemistry was just oozing off them. None of us had ever seen quite so much electricity between them before. It was as if they had just met and fallen in love for the first time. They didn’t leave each other’s side for the whole party.”
Well waddayaknow. They’ve been at the superglue again.
yeah… I don’t know…. Is she wearing the same clothing she wore for the concert or something different? I mean it could be an archived pic… dunno….

You sound tired of these 2 Ziny… are you?
Wills wears the same shirt that he wore at the concert and Kate seems to wear the same dress. A white dress that shows her shoulders. That photo must be so expensive that the Sun put their logo on it. If it was an archive I doubt that the Sun would have spent so much money for it. It’s more the Daily Mail style.
The day following the concert Ive seen a photo of Kate walking on the street, where she wore the same outfit that she wore on the photo published on the Mirror, just before the announcement of the break up, which was her last complain to a newspaper. Maybe thats not a coincidence
Wills and Kate’s clothes… fascinating

You have to look at the psychology of the situation. After the “split”, Kate was positively blooming. No 25-y-o girl is that happy to be dumped by a Prince after a 4-year romance. It simply doesn’t add up.
By John on July 4th, 2007 at 5:58 pm
I must admit, John, that Kate’s post split demeanor puzzled me as well. I believe I am still leaning toward the theory that the split was engineered by the two of them to get the press frenzy to die down. If this is true, I find it neither inappropriate nor deceitful. The press vultures get what they deserve, in my opinion. Hmmm…once again I sound quite pouty!

I agree. No dumped girl, by her long term boyfriend, prince or not, would appear so happy after that. But that not because they maybe didnt split at all that does mean they were so close to an engagement. I think that Wills truly needed space at that time. And I understand. The public and the medias were hysterical.
If the break up was all made up, then I must say that these 2 are not very good actors

As I have said time will tell.

In either case, she can certainly position herself well in a situation. I am happy to hear their good news and that they seem to be having fun. It seems that they needed more private time to be a couple. However they did it, I’m glad they are having this opportunity.

Does anyone know/guess as to why Henry Ropner and Jamie Murray Wells were not at the concert?
By Chloe on July 5th, 2007 at 5:14 am
They may have been in the crowd, Chloe, rather than the Royal box — it was rather full.
But not everyone fancies a 7-hour concert in the open air during a rainy summer and in the middle of a huge terrorist alert. Dipping into it occasionally on TV was by far the best option.
By John on July 5th, 2007 at 8:36 am
I know what you are saying and she didn’t look as unhappy as you would expect but i don’t think that means they didn’t break up. I agree with Lily, it was a genuine break up but i think she wasn’t left without hope and in fact the excitement of wooing back her man has given her a glow. I think we will know without any leaks when William decides one way or the other. Lily thinks he may dally all summer and well he might but i think it is very unfair on Kate. I don’t think i would be that patient but then Kate knows whats is going on better than i.

He looked so miserable after they broke up, and I thought it was very telling that every time he had any kind of conversation with any woman, she immediately spilled her guts to the newspapers. Obviously he wasn’t having success finding some other girl to confide in at all, and the photos just showed him looking more and more miserable . . . while Kate looked better and better.
If he ever does permanently end this relationship, he’ll be hard pressed to start another one that is successful.

Marie, you nailed it!!!! Very good post.
By Positive on July 6th, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Thumbs up to Marie’s post! You nailed it for sure. Kate has been proven to be a very trustworthy person - she doesn’t blab to anybody and everybody who would listen - and after the April breakup, she could very well have made millions telling the story of her romance with William and she would never have dreamed of doing so. William can trust her - and yes, it will be extremely difficult to find another who can match that.

Aw, thanks. Time will tell if I’m right or not, I suppose. But I think in a situation like this (vis a vis the alleged break up), a guy would have to realize not that he was “stuck” with a girl, but that he was “lucky” to have her. It seems to me that’s the only way he could go from breaking up with her, to wanting her back, and not looking like an idiot.
It’s really hard to tell what William actually thinks with all the rumors going on–everything from “the prince is keen to get married sooner rather than later” to “he was pining for her” to “he has no intention of getting married any time soon.”
But I do think that they are genuinely fond of each other and the fact that they are back together indicates to me that it’s serious.
I have to say, it must be terrible pressure to be barely 25 and to have to think of relationships in such a serious way. Yes, he’s lucky to have found someone who is loyal and gorgeous and all that. On the other hand, he ought to be able to live it up a little–and so should she. And then, finally, if they really do have a connection and can trust one another, then that’s a very lucky thing to have uncovered at such a young age. And if they are able to value their relationship on top of everything else, I’d say that’s quite mature.
Yeesh. Why am I obsessing over this and analyzing it?!
By Marie on July 6th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
We all are, Marie, trust me.
I also agree with your excellent analysis of the situation. I find it somewhat amusing that the current generation feels that age 25 is too early to settle down, since at ag 25 my husband and I had been married for three years. Of course, times change and so do people’s views of what is customary.
I am not sure why there is a feeling that Prince William cannot marry while he is still in the army. I married my husband during the Vietnamese War and he was in the military at the time. Why does military service preclude marriage for Prince William and Kate? Prince Philip was serving as a Naval officer when he married Princess Elizabeth (as she was then.)

Dream on, sounds like more press hoping for mediocre Kate. I just don’t see where anything points to this supposed reunion. Not even WILLIAM, he didn’t even acknowledge her once at the concert and she never even got that close to him at the concert, the photo is of Kate in the stands and WILLIAM not even turning around to acknowledge her. The club photo where Kate is sitting at the table, well Kate looks unhappy, William looks like he’s eating, she went home after that, how does that equal happy reunion for them, sounds like misery for Kate, still trying to get a committment, which I just don’t think will ever happen for her. Too many break ups already..the one made public was about the thrid or fourth break-up, sounds more like misery.

Mandy, it’s apparently going to be announced informally at a polo match today.
By John on July 7th, 2007 at 8:34 am
Mandy, you blamed Kate when she spent the night at CH the last time, claiming that it showed her like a girl for a night, and now you say “she went home after that”. Errrr, what do you want exactly?
He didnt acknowledge her at the concert… ofcourse, it was Diana’s day. If he would have done, then the photo would have been the centre of the media attention the next day. It was not Wills’ goal
I remember the comment of someone here, but don’t remember who, who said that we should focus on Harry and Chelsy who seem to be closer to a marriage than Wills and Kate. And now I read “too many break ups already” then I would like to correct. Harry and his girl had more break ups than Wills and Kate
I adore Harry, ofcourse he must know his brother more than anyone else, but really, who is he for showing his doubts about his brother and Kate’s relationship? His own sulky girl cant even stay discreet toward the press and he still smooch girls after 3 years of a (so called) very serious relationship.
