its posted over @ the royalist....anyway...she supposedly got 1 police officer to accompany her after yesterday warden incident :rolleyes:
QuoteThere was little danger of Prince William's girlfriend enduring another face-off with a traffic warden today.
Leaving her London home for work a few hours ago, photographers were faced with the slightly intriguing sight of Kate Middleton (who, of course, is not yet entitled to police protection due to her still being "a commoner" being accompanied by a uniformed policewoman.
This isn't the first time the royal girlfriend has enjoyed the company of the police as she departed home.
At the end of last year Kate — who'll celebrate her 25th birthday next week — and her mother, Carole, were pictured in similar circumstances as they emerged from the Chelsea home.
i'll post actual article when the press jumps on this one....as we know they will ;)
why was she accompanied by an officer? :blink:
It was her own stupid fault! The girl is an idiot. Seiously, she gets fined for illegally parking her car and now she needs police protection.
I wonder if Midds has heard the story about the girl who cried wolf.
here the photos...

thnx Karla :hug:
sounds like PR stunt actually.. the sign was large and clear.. don't think she missed it... she just rationalized and decided to erase bad PR 24 hrs later 'cuz "police protection" is such a sugar glazed term.
Guess for those of you who thought she'd jump in front of a train or something to save a baby as compensatory action, she'll pick a much easier way.
:rolleyes: didn't I say that they would somehow manage to make this positive for Kate, well here it is. :rant: poor kate being bullied
What does the twit need protection from? Her own stupidity? Dump her William.
Surely the police (and my taxes) could be put to more important use than walking Midds to her car.
Exactly NH, you see how she averted bad media coverage... what's she gonna do, run to Willliam or the cover of the police every time the press print a scathing story about her accompanied with pics? What a whiner, can't even face a traffic violation..
I agree, sandy, boot her out William
Wonder who she complained to ???? she now has this protection who's paying for it???? Parking ticket highly doubts police protection????
first, i dont think shes a twit. :unsure:
however, why was police protection necessary? :blink: the guy that gave her a ticket was a police officer! she wasnt in any danger. :whine: unless there was an occurance we dont know about the other day, the police officer was doing his job. she got a ticket, deal with it like most of us do.
i dont get it.. :hmm: <_<
from what i understand anyone can request police presence...if they feel threatened....so maybe she thought due 2 yesterday incident more pappi will be around....thus...she needs 1 officer to escort her 2 the car....even thou the female officer looks so bored & harmless :shrug:
So she's hired police to protect her from the photographers????
i have no idea its all an speculation....if you believe she's celeb-hungry chick...then she did it 2 counterbalance what happened yesterday...not 2 mention the news about how she got the Jigsaw job...but if you feel like giving her the benefit of the doubt....then maybe her mom felt she needed a police escort & called on the local branch in chelsy :shrug:
The former :P
On the other hand, if fatheaded Mamma Midds is behind this, not bad either..

Yeah maybe.. I bet she called William about it and suggestion for Protection .. I guess she got wish :shrug:
I would just like to know what she needs to be protected from????
karla, I thought she refused some sort of security service from Wills beforehand.. but as soon as this kind of coverage starts, she conveniently resorts to it? :rolleyes:
NH, I also think this had to do mwith photographers, she can't complain that she was bullied by an officer of law when he fulfilled his duties if she wants to be taken seriously!
She did refuse get for protection from last year.. right now She got it... I don't know why Princess Diana never have protection before she married to Charles..
^I thought she was being protected by a husband and wife team- but had declined formal security officers.
diana courtship was for few months....she became engaged immediate afterward...when the queen & palace courtier decided she was perfect for the role...not 2 mention the media & public fell in-love with her........on the other hand, this police officer escorting Kate makes some plp suspicious over how can this girl handle real pressure....if little headlines the likes of of these 2 days results in such a move :shrug:
well hopefully kate's flipping paying the bill would suck it the tax payers are paying for it.
i agree, hippie.
She better be paying!
In quizzical situations like this..I hope ppl are not stupid enough to think these events were a coincidence, a bit too synchronous here. Common, she's pulling strings, we just need clarification if it's official protection. She won't get as many photo opportunities I think if it's that.
exactly hippie, if' shes having this big of an issue can we imagine what a real crisis could be like
i'm lost, so she payed for the police WOMEN, that is a girl, or did PW?
we don't know who's paying for her protection
oh, ??? i thought someone said she payed for it. :hmm:
okay whatever
I was asking if she's paying for this protection or if the tax payers are
now we'll be flooded with more engagement stories :rolleyes:
yay? :ugh: :rant: :rant: :rant:
Can't have it about Kate being a big :baby: about the whole thing that wouldn't be good for her image

she's achieved what she wanted... CH announcement was a letdown, but she stirred the mud anew
(http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/yuk.gif) just want I don't want to hear more marriage rumors, cause that's all they are rumors.
Yeah I agree.. :gaah:
Maybe Kate thought there were going to be more paparazzi outside than normal given she got so much press the day before. She could have thought it was going to be hard for her to walk to her car and get on to work in the morning. It could have been her who called for police protection, maybe someone else thought it was best for the meantime like the grey suits..who knows? :shrug:
I wonder why she needs the extra security for the photographers though, maybe her life has been threadend, she's had photographers around her for 3 yrs now never had security then and I don't think getting a traffic ticket would bring in more photographers
this girl is just getting more and more ridiculous! one minute she is just smiling insanely for the paps and posing, the next she is calling for a policewoman to walk her to her car! like the paps are going to really be scared off by one lone police officer! does she really expect the paps to be all nicey 24/7? also, where is pw in all this? if he offered her protection officers before then why not be able to do that now? i think km is jumping the gun w/all this crap! does she really think that this is what the RF would do? or even an actress/celeb? if you are a "public person" and yes, she is one b/c she is the current gf of pw and i dont care who thinks she is suppose to be a "private person"....she isnt as long as she dates pw, then you have to accept and deal w/this crap along w/all the "bells and whistles" that go along w/it. i am beginning to wonder if she is either extremely moody or she has some sort of personality disorder b/c her moods are so extreme and change daily it seems. i dont mean that in my usual sarcastic way either. i think she has issues that are now coming out....and did that police officer stop her from getting her pic taken by the paps? no....got her in the papers again.....guess she is willing to do whatever it takes to stay in the spotlight or she is just not "princess material" afterall, b/c others have dealt w/the same pressure and figured out how to handle it and still have a life.....something km does seem to be able to do. :gaah: :hissyfit:
Lola, Capricorns are rumored to be mercurial (if you believe in that sort of thing). They also don't go well with Geminis :happy:
NH, again you hit the mark, why security now? Well, we'll know it's formal protection from Wlliam if she's to be accompanied by policemen everywhere from now on (snap, snap camera) or if she "commissioned" their help to ward off paparazi this one time as pri suggested. Either way, I think she whined her way through, reminding us how the paps hound and bully her, so that we forgive her yesterday's transgression-- she must rstay perfection in the flesh. :wacko:
i have read their horoscope compatibility and totally agree w/you on that! i dont understand why she reacted like she did.....are the paps really as bad w/her alone as they are when she is w/pw? its too bad that we a video of the paps w/her like we have of pw and ph so we can see if its as bad as she seems to think it is or she is just being a little drama queen! i also wonder how long the paps will continue to follow her once monday rolls around and pw is off full time in the military and wont be around even for the weekend? ???
I still don't thınk she ıs gettıng annoyed of paparazzis,stories etc because obvioısly she is aware of the next day's headlınes when callıng police protection she seems lık.pERFORMıng the vıctım of paparazzıs and baskıng ıt at the same tıme.Maybe she thınks that kınd of move could her her to convınce people that engagement ıs gettıng closser as much as requıres police protection for her...
Lots to say on this topic....
First of all, please keep all the name calling out of the thread.
Secondly- the only picture I saw of a cop with Kate was the one where she was walking behind Kate... maybe it was just a coincidence and paps are twisting the photo to make it out to be something it isn't. They do that all the time!
There were photos of Kate in her car-- alone. I would have thought that if she had police protection, they would be in the car with her, like William's are (most of the time) or there would be a police car following her to work.
Because I did not see any evidence of either of those things happening, I am going to reserve judgement for now, until more info comes out. I highly doubt she had around-the-clock security, and if she did, it would not be in the form of a uniformed police officer, as city police do not do that sort of thing. She would have had to hire someone on her own. If she was being harassed at that very moment, she could call the police for an escort, but it would not be like she hired them, or was paying them-- anyone who is being harassed can call for a police escort.
QuoteSurely the police (and my taxes) could be put to more important use than walking Midds to her car.
You got that right! this was done to take the heat off of her ticket yesterday. I agree Royalphile she got exactly what I do believe she wanted. Though I agree with you Jenee as well we need more info on this. :happy:
My best friend growing up was the daughter of a Federal Judge (talk about a friendship of opposites, as I live to bend the law to suit my own bizarre moral code!) -- anyway, after a sentence was handed down her father usually appeared in the paper, which was then usually followed by some death threats and well, you'd be amazed at the things some crazies will threaten to do ... so for a week or so, they'd have a police officer outside their house who probably wouldn't help much against an armed gang but who at least made them feel safer ...
Maybe Party Pieces or CH have been receiving threats of some kind against Midds that we're not privy to? Especially after all of yesterday's publicity?
And if any of you poor taxpayers out there are annoyed that this might be yet another frivolous example of your tax dollars at work, you can always look at what we have in the States as a consolation: look all the bratty kids of former Presidents and VPs we have to pay the Secret Service to protect ... 'til death do us part.
I find the way she plays the media really interesting.
And there seems to be a chronology of known occasions of Midds complaining of media harrasment and her advancing up the 'levels' of her relationship with Wee Willy
1. First photographs of her and Wee Willy together published in The Sun
Result Annoys Prince Charles ('these bloody people'), The Sunis banned from photographing royal events
2. They photographed her on a bus
So solicitors acting on behalf of her and Wee Willy issue a warning/threat that Midds is a member of the public and harrassing her could lead to action being taken in the European Court of Human Rights
Result She is offered protection from Wee Willy's security guards
3. For the second time she is photographed waiting to get on a bus (I suspect she complained about this)
Result she is offered formal diplomatic protection
4. At the Cheltenham racing show she arrives smiling and posing for the awaiting photographers- she rings a friend of Wee Willy's and complains of being hounded by the press
Result Wee Willy informs Charlie and Cam and she is invited into the royal box
5. She is photographed being given a fine for illegally parking her car and holds her hands up so as not to be photographed
Result the following morning she is photographed leaving her flat accompanied by a police office
Suddenly it all starts to add up...
And you have to hand it to her she knows what she's doing- Midds is quite the strategist.
there's a pattern there...lol

Maybe. I have no idea what the general public opinion is of Kate in Britain, but if it is anything like this forum, I wouldn't be surprised if she's gotten a threat or two!
And did someone say she recently moved? Maybe that's why??
In a way (a very
small way) I do feel bad for her. It is a lot to deal with, and because of royal protocol, she is pretty much on her own. I've been with a military guy before, and you really are left to deal with everything on your own, because the military takes up so much time. It will be worse after William is through his training, because he may have to do a lot of traveling.
William needs to step up and make an honest women of her, or break it off. Either give her the status so she can get the protection/privacy she wants/needs or end the relationship so she can get back a semblance of a normal life.
who is calling plp names? i thought we were all getting along...... ???
margherita: pw had nothing to do w/the cheltenham horse show....he wasnt even there....she supposedly called one of pws friends who was already in the royal box and thats how she got there....
QuoteAnnoys Prince Charles ('these bloody people'), The Sunis banned from photographing royal events
I don't think Kate was the reason for that. One of the reporters said something rude. Like "are you happy this time or something." Or maybe wtf i don't even know. But i don't think that was Kate's doing.
QuoteWee Willy informs Charlie and Cam and she is invited into the royal box
Kate whined to a friend of PW's that was already there, he invited her up, Charles said "i was surprised to see her there."
she seems to be quite "clever" in getting her way.....and playing the victim to the paps "bully"....... :thumbsdown:
I think she wanted the officer so that she doesn't get another ticket. To me this keeps in line with the "dont you know who I am thinking". This way she doesn't have to say it, she can let the officer speak for her.

At the time it was reported in several newspapers that it was the pictures of Wee Willy and Midds that had put him in a bad mood before he'd even got to the press call
Quote

Ah, ok got me there. But she still complained about being hounded by the press, when she clearly wasn't, and that's what got her in there.
The pattern still stands!!
But it doesn't alter the fact that Midds has been using the paparazzi interest to further along her relationship with Wee Willy- she clearly knows how he feels about them and so plays it to her advantage.

The first time round she was offered the husband and wife team, the second time more formal security- sorry did I phrase it wrong? I'll find the article
Please do not double post
Those are hyped up rumors though, i doubt she was even offered. :shrug:
QuoteAccording to former royal bodyguard Dai Davies: "Camilla got a husband and wife team of ex-royal protection officers before she married Prince Charles which was a clever move by Clarence House because it was a halfway house. But if Kate doesn't want it, you can't force her."
Is this what your talking about margherita????
^Yep
Well, if she was offered the husband-wife security team-- she didn't take it.
Kate has never been offerred diplomatic protection--which would be more invasive than a small husband-wife team?
The Prince Charles thing with The Sun had absolutely nothing to do with Kate.
I'm lost as to how this highlights her using the media to make herself look like a victim.
Truth?? I think the press wants a freaking royal wedding, knows it sells newspapers, nearly the whole world's interest is peaked--leading to more sales and profit. People have been wondering who William is going to marry since he hot puberty. Naturally, Kate is gonna be a target for paparazzi and the media. She really doesn't need anyone to generate interest in her. The interest is already there. As a result, I think people are trying or could be trying to protect her from being swallowed whole in this circumstance. She is common, ordinary in an extraordinary situation--what the hell is she supposed to do? She is a odd dichotomy of being a private person and public person because she is dating an insanely public figure. Ideally, I think they want her to maintain this balance of being a private citizen (because she is) while knowing people are interested in her and as a result she is becoming a public person--I'm not sure how you deal with a situation like that. I'm not sure the suits do either.
Anyway, this whole machine is far bigger than Kate or her mother could never control. As has been suggested in the past. Kate, her mother and their family doesn't have this Stalin-esque control over every publication and every media outlet in the UK or elsewhere.
I agree with you, Pri.
I think Kate is trying to deal with a very difficult situation - although the way she handles it and lead her life may not always be to our liking. The media are just dying to have a Royal wedding - the ultimate cash cow. But for now, it seems that articles and pictures about Kate and endless speculation about a future engagement are selling big so that's what is being printed.
Pri, thank you for making sense and being grounded in reality. The Middletons do not have the power or the connections it would take to control the press. The media is a beast that feeds on whatever it thinks will sell. If good Kate stories won't sell, then bad Kate stories will. It doesn't matter as long as the beast gets fed and it gets what it wants. :shrug:
Mama Meds is very aware of publicity. And having a PR person does help in dealings with the press and I think the Meds hired one. Maybe they don't "control" the press but I think they have an influence over daughter dearest's media coverage via some PR spin. The baby clothes line was pure spin for instance neither confirmed or denied by the Meddletons. I think they do have someone working for Katies' PR.
more photos..
http://colourpress.com
you can find photos of her.. but requested register.....
But we don't know that for sure and this is all speculation on everyones part. I'm tired of some people here trying to point out what others are saying as incorrect but with that kind of money the middletons could very well have PR helping the dearest out.
You want logic? here's logic.....
A) I doubt that her being pictured with a police officer adds up to her having police protection.
B) Other residents (and/or Kate) may have complained regarding the paps being/hanging out in the street.
C) If it were official police protection, then it would be plain clothes and the royals would be paying for it.
D) You cannot pay police to protect you. You can hire an off duty police officer or alert the police that you fear for your safety, then they'd investigate/issue protection.
E) I doubt she's gotten death threats. I doubt her safety is compromised. This is not an area where crazies live. This is an upper class suburb. People may have complained, but it's highly unlikely that someone has threatened Kate.
I'm thinking Kate herself complained, and the police came to investigate. This will no doubt have the tabs jumping onto that "imminent engagement" bandwagoin....yet more stories..more speculation... :brainwashed:

DUMP HER WILLS!! NOW!!
Not going to happen :laugh:
yeah....then again willites might get their new yr wish...afterall i hear major longterm celeb relationships have ended in the past 3 wks.
Wills isn't a celeb..even though Kate is a demi one :windsor1:
true...he's in a more high stake position as a royal & future king....& she's a 'b' lister @ best....unless he marries her.....anyway...2 be on topic....I think the police officer was dispatched 2 her cus her mom or herself called up complaining about the press.
Or someone who was parked illegally :teehee:
I really doubt the Palace is paying for Miss Kate, I think Mother Midds made a phone call and had protection put in for her haggard,tired looking baggy faced little darling. The Midds probably made the call and the payment if necessary.
I don't know if this already has bee posted or not :shrug:
Six police see Kate gets to work on time

Over kill IMO..and a total waste of police time and tax payers money :thumbsdown:
Well she has to get William's attention some way, he's somewhere doing his own thing and she can't use the lost keys excuse, so she gets police escort to make it look she really needs Big William protecting her or she needs to let the Palace know she needs protection. Mom midds could be at work behind this one.
I don't see that many police protecting other celebs? They pay for their own protection. If Kate wants protection then she should allow her millionaire parents to foot the bill, marry Wills so she can get PPO's or lose the prince completely..I cannot find any sympathy for her at the moment :notamused:
I think she is trying to use the "help me...they want my pictures...." :waaaah: excuse to let the palace know that she is in such great agony without William. When the palace people see this, they, accoding to her plan ,will feel sorry for her and would want William to marry her because she going through such torture alone. :whine:
That's her plan, according to me. :teehee:
:laugh: well if he or the palace fall for such a plan...they deserve every grieve they might get in the long run :fool:
what's with the overkill of 6 police officers thou.....she usually have about 2 idiots following her around....if it was real media frenzy.....like it was with diana or even current celebs like angelina jolie....we'll see 10 cameras on her face...while another 10 are filming her going thro them with the police :rolleyes:
Hoards of them too and we'd see paps jumping onto her car and holding on like they did with Di...
She's such a spoiled brat. She needs the fashion police to protect her from those beige shoes with those black stockings. She has no style and she just looks so old. I mean, look at her! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/jean64/Park0401b.jpg
Even her forhead already has creases. That's so unusual for someone who's 24.
That's just an unfortunate picture ;)
So, is it 100% true she has a bodyguard? Or is it just strong speculation? :shrug:
She's has police men/women following her around from what i understand
yep...thanks 2 that 'evil' warden...she needed protecting by police officers...wasting tax payers money.

I think Kate is prettier than that and the pic was taken from a bad angle, but she
does need to discover moisturiser!!
I don't have any sympathy left for her, either.
I don't tend to admire people who choose soft, cushy lives. That's JMO.
William needs to pi** or get off the pot.
I'd prefer he find another girl, preferably one who has made her own way and shown great initiative in her life -- other than in the romance dept.
I don't count getting a rich girl's bachelors degree while her parents paid her way through as a major accomplishment. Lots of people manage that. Big whoop.
I have no idea what brought on this police protection.
Maybe some nut from somewhere else might have threatened Kate?
Maybe MaMidds disguised her voice and phoned in the "threat" from deepest Berkshire so that her daughter would get extra protection. And publicity.
Diana's courtship was shorter but she had paps actually falling off her car. She didn't require police protection prior to 24 Feb. 1981.
I have seen video footage of Midds and her stalkerazzi and they seem rather polite and orderly when she is alone w/o William.
They seem relatively respectful towards Kate ... why should she need them?
Oh but she needs the K-team to follow her to work (http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/angry008-1.gif) (http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/angry041.gif)

I saw one of the days Diana was trying to get to her car...she had at least 20-30 paps around her all yelling at her to look this way..come on love...my kid needs an operation...what are you stuck up? Things like that.then one guy walked into a pole and another hung onto her car whilst she tried to drive off....it was awful..how a 19 year old could endure that is beyond me. Kate's lucky that the press seem to be a lot more restrained.. :notamused:
hey...La Cia comment isn't there....so plp don't think i'm out of wack....she was talking 2 us :lmao:

There are a lot of those unfortunate pictures. At some point you have to conclude that's just the way she looks. Maybe the tabs have stopped airbrushing this fake beauty.
In all honesty, the booze and late nights don't help. She doesn't take care of herself at all.

OMG. :ninja:
About the age, she DOES look old, maybe she faked her age upon entry into St. Andrews and is really an aging housewife who underwent a facelift before and faked all her i.d documents. :ninja:
Hi Mapleleaf. I saw the PIC too but think upclose Kate's face usually looks like this. (Drinking can cause deep wrinkles, moisturizer will not do much for crevices, and bags under eyes symbolize puffiness or bloating due to crying, being tired, or hungover?) Early aging can also be hereditary or due to too much sun, booze, drugs, and smoking. I think in faraway pix she looks much better. She seems big boned or tall, so that photographs as 'stately' which in full-length pics looks good. Fotogs need to avoid close-ups unless the woman has stunning or exquisite facial features, like nice bone structure and large eyes, AND striking color contrasts too (ie: Dark Brunette hair against porcelain ivory skin as in Joan Collins beauty). ON THE CONTRARY, KATE'S color contrast is MINIMAL & appears to be lighter brown (NOT darkest Brunette) against same color skin tone (average beige skin type, NOT porcelain ivory , nothing striking. Although from afar, she photographs well. (MY professional photographer's insight ONLY) And NO, I am not a pap, but an ARTIST. :) Another observation: Kate's face is full, which is nice but lacks high definition via bone structure and does NOT look 'chiseled' , however, close-ups do tell so many women detest closeups! ;)
I don't think how Kate looks is a big issue at all...put any normal person out there and we all could find faults.
The real issue concerning this girl is her herself..the way she lives, conducts herself and is protrayed by the media.
She does need a moisturizer w/sunscreen! The make-up won't help if she's aging as fast as she appears to be due to sun damage and her boozing.
How she can manage getting 6 police officers to escort her around
Quote from: Countessa on January 05, 2007, 12:20:11 AM
She's such a spoiled brat. She needs the fashion police to protect her from those beige shoes with those black stockings. She has no style and she just looks so old. I mean, look at her! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/jean64/Park0401b.jpg
Even her forhead already has creases. That's so unusual for someone who's 24.
well...beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.... :shrug:
I agree Countessa, everyone has flaws, but she needs skin intervention desperately, or else I"m gonna keep cracking jokes about her mug and real age ;) Plus she should TRY to live up to her reputation. Not trying to be (too) mean.

I agree although I do believe that to some extent, the way she lives and conducts herself reflects the way she looks. The drinking, personal laziness and bad attitude all show on her face.
QuoteHow she can manage getting 6 police officers to escort her around
Deep down, I have no idea. But I must admit, she certainly is giving herself enough airs. Ido agree that her personality seems quite warped, she was at first a girlfriend, but now fancies herself a future princess. Didn't she supposedly "dismiss reports that her romance with William was a simple 'university affair,'" or some such snobbery? I think it was and Kate is just in denial. I don't think that she is the type of girl that a lot of royals would consider suitable material as a royal wife.
As for living up to her reputation, she should live up to the basic expectations that are expected of many young adults in their mid twenties.

I apologize for the double post, but she shows how she's been bred. What's bred in the bones comes out on the flesh.
okay....i am gonna try to be really restraint w/my questions...feel free to answer them if you can:
-do we have pics of the all six police officers? besides the lady officer that walked her to her car and the pic of a police car behind her (which could have been the lady officer following her) do we have any real proof there were six?
-if indeed she had a total of six, the why? what is going on now that requires her to all of a sudden need this kind of help and the very next day after the ticket incident?
-why hasnt her parents stepped in and got her private protection? heaven knows they can afford it!
-were the heck is pw
-why hasnt CH stepped in if its this bad? (ie she received death threats or whatever....)
-why didnt the first story we got about this not mention the six officers? surely they would have noted the two standing in front of her flat? and the one tailing her?
this is getting really weird....either she is WAY OVER DRAMATIC or something is SERIOUSLY going on....ie the paps are have got way out of line? just how many were out there?
AGAIN: WERE THE HECK ARE HER PARENTS AND/OR BF? this is nuts!!!! :hissyfit:
one note, "the way she conducts herself" DOESN't really sift into the media. They don't depict her as a party girl/boozer exactly. They call her 'pretty' and 'stunning'-- she should at least attempt to live up to these stupid labels
Edit: btw, Lola, all excellent questions. I'd like answers as well
(http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/headhurts.gif) I can't help you lola but I am sure you'll get all kinds of answers and some of them I won't like (http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/chores033.gif)
There's no indication that Kate received threats of any kind...it could have been a case of over kill on the Metro Police behalf :shrug:
I think when poeple harp on about her looks they can appear petty..that said I can understand how feel can feel that Kate is over-rated in the looks department. However, I think it detracts from any valid arguments people may have so personally I'd rather concentrate on the real issues concerning Kate.
its the (http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/create-5.gif) so I need protection from the photographs (http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/char098.gif) that caught me while I was getting one.

What??? Where did you get that from????? :hmm:
i am going to do a "mapleleaf" ( :flowers:.... :teehee:) and ask: what is really going on here? did she really get six officers? was it overkill on the metro police or km or both? do we have any PROOF she got that many officers? i am thinking NO she didnt have that many....we would have known that wouldnt we in the first report? they wouldnt have missed that oppty to shout it from the rooftops....so i am thinking that MAYBE she only had the one lady officer who followed behind her in the police car we seen in the one pic....just a theory....dont shoot me down.... :lmao:
sorry, I know the post wasn't intended for me, but i think you're freaking out for no reason. wombat made the logical conclusion, death threats or anything serious is out of the question, it's likely outlets saw a few wardens (maybe just that one woman) and blew it out of proportion.
I'll answer Lola =]]
-do we have pics of the all six police officers? besides the lady officer that walked her to her car and the pic of a police car behind her (which could have been the lady officer following her) do we have any real proof there were six? of course not, do we ever get the whole story?
-if indeed she had a total of six, the why? what is going on now that requires her to all of a sudden need this kind of help and the very next day after the ticket incident?she whined to mommy who asked them to do it. police will follow anyone who feels threatened, at least here.
-why hasnt her parents stepped in and got her private protection? heaven knows they can afford it! they want PW to do it
-were the heck is pw hiding until he is horny again
-why hasnt CH stepped in if its this bad? (ie she received death threats or whatever....) because CH doesn't care enough, and i'm pretty sure if she did whine to them they'd say something like "and you want to be in the royal family"
-why didnt the first story we got about this not mention the six officers? surely they would have noted the two standing in front of her flat? and the one tailing her?it probably wasn't six.

btw: thanks for giving me some answers, bxh! :thumbsup:
welcome la cie, I always feel like a newbie myself. :flowers:
I love wry humor, so I try to imagine scenarios (unreal) about her, how she came about looking about 30 -- her "real age", but I do know she's 25.
Edit: Lola, (love the new "modify button" can't quit it) I meant everyone who's freaking out really, but you're calm, okay. I'm just saying I think tomorrow you'll see it wind down a much lesser story-- nothing as melodramatic as threats.
For Lola...
-do we have pics of the all six police officers? besides the lady officer that walked her to her car and the pic of a police car behind her (which could have been the lady officer following her) do we have any real proof there were six? I'm leaning towards the 6 being there. Its feesible to think that the Police overreacted becaue they received complaints about the press. It is just over kill.
-if indeed she had a total of six, the why? what is going on now that requires her to all of a sudden need this kind of help and the very next day after the ticket incident? I think she or the other residents complained..more likely she complained as the police stood outside her place.
-why hasnt her parents stepped in and got her private protection? heaven knows they can afford it! Would it look as good and get the press going if the Middletons displayed their wealth by providing their own daughter with protection..which I think most parents with the Middletons means would just do?
-were the heck is pw? Who cares?
-why hasnt CH stepped in if its this bad? (ie she received death threats or whatever....)? Because unless she is a member of the royal family she is not entitled to their protection. And why should they help her. She's a grown woman with bucket loads of money..let her and her parents protect her using their own money...not taxpayers!
-why didnt the first story we got about this not mention the six officers? surely they would have noted the two standing in front of her flat? and the one tailing her? Press don't always get it right!

thanks, wombat! :thumbsup: so this may have been her neighbors getting tired of all the paps hanging around? interfering w/the parking or what have you? and km :whine: b/c the paps are being so mean...its so easy for her to smile and pose for them when they call her "stunning" and "perfect" but its a big NO-NO for them to take pics of her in a less than perfect situation (ie getting a ticket and arguement w/warden).......now i feel less worried about her.....just more crap courtesy of the Queen of Drama! :gaah:
oh and thanks to Royalphile and brokenxhearts for the welcomes and that pretty welcome sign!
her "neighbours" have never complained about the press before.. also, why isn't it in any article? I still think she stirred the fiasco herself, never underestimate Kate.
Maybe her neighbours haven't said anything to the press. I'm sure they'd find the whole thing vulgar.
I think Lola hit the nail on the head by saying Kate chooses when to like the press...golden rule #1 You can't turn the media off like a tap...you either welcome them all of the time or none of the time.
Therefore...smiling insanely and chatting with them/posing etc..only leads them to believe that they have the right to follow you. If she was that unhappy with the press then she should have just gotten on with her business and not given them the time of day...ever. I'd have a lot more respect for her then :notamused:
i don't think this has been posted yet
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23380507-details/Six+police+see+Kate+gets+to+work+on+time/article.do
btw: if she goes out w/pw and company this weekend, you can bet she will be smiling insanely at the same paps she supposedly needed "protection" from....sheesh! :rolleyes: :gaah:
..then Kate is stalking the paps, not vice versa. wombat said if she's wise she'd ignore them altogether. Or she indeed doesn't understand that they'll sell her out for any story for publishing. Dang Kate, you're naive.
Kate looks a lot happier today than she did yesterday. This young women, is again, going back and forth with the press. yesterday she covered her face, today she's all smiles.
It seems now the DM are starting to pull stuff out of their a**. We don't usually get pictures of Kate's destination, and in this case we don't. So how are we to know the police followed her to work? Kate wears those same see through stockings and another mini-skirt. Nothing wrong with that but IMO it isn't too appropriate for work.

Which doesn't bode well... :notamused:
I agree NightHawk. It'll come back to haunt her (and IMO soon). I'm starting to wonder, what exactly is it going to take for her to get bad press? it seems, according to the press she can do no wrong. Would a break up do it? or would she still be held in high regards? I assume she won't since if the press continue to praise Kate (and not giving as much to William) it can end up hurting them, when he does get engaged. Kate will do something though (or perhaps she won't have to sometimes the press just turn on you to sell more stories).
I think it was Maple or someone who said something about good/bad press selling..anyways...I think if the press gets a sniff that bad press sells more than good..that could be a turning point for Kate :notamused:
this is actually a little worrying....i'm not sure if the police were there just bcuz of the photographers. :unsure:
photographers can b a pain in the neck....they can hassle and even endanger the people they r trying to get a photo of but......6 police for that? if the police were just there for the photographer problem Kate's been having then surely 1 or 2 would b enough to give Kate some space? William doesnt even have that many bodyguards folowing him (so far as i kno! :happy: ). maybe there was a more serious problem we dont kno about. like why Chelsy had a police escort when she was leaving Heathrow when she came for Harry's Sandhurst graduation....

QuoteCopper-bottomed proof that Kate is now a royal
Evening Standard (West End Final)
January 04, 2006
YESTERDAY Kate Middleton was photographed near her home in Chelsea with a traffic warden who was gesticulating at her with a pencil. This was clearly no way to address the possible future Queen of England.
Prince William's girlfriend, who was given a £100 parking ticket, handled the incident with outstandingly good grace, even letting slip a gentle smile.
Indeed, Tim Cowen, of parking firm NCP, said she behaved "in the way one would expect of a future queen".
:lmao: jophson's paper is @ it again....i'll pm actual article 2 Smartie**, wombat...smarty 8)
:gaah: Good grace my arse :gaah:
but you gotta understand.... according 2 this paper....reason for the police escort is...
QuoteAt least she will not have to say: "Don't you know who I am?"
not 2 forget
QuoteA police escort does set the seal on her widely perceived status as the woman Prince William is most likely to marry.
:fool:
:gaah:
I bet you anything her Mummy paid for it. The only reason Cams got it before an engagement was because it was already, basically, in the bag that she and Charles were going to Marry. And because of the history and open dislike and hate towards her because of the triangle fiasco it was smart and completely necessary for her to have it, not to mention understandable. But with Kate there is NO obvious reason why she should have it except to show that she is "in" with the royal family. Also with Cams they were undercover and not just standing directly beside her and obviously following her car.
Kate is a Pretentious little-edit-IMO. :notamused: <_<

Police guard for clubber Kate ~ Daily Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=426623&in_page_id=1770)
QuoteTen police officers were called to escort Prince William's girlfriend from a London nightclub early today.
They arrived in two vans and formed a cordon to protect Kate Middleton from a scrum of waiting photographers amid increasing fears for her safety
:gaah:
why would 'six police see that kate gets to work on time'? as if she is a hard-working, needed employee, which i doubt given that she only works 4 days a week and is given a 3 week vacation after only 7 weeks.
police should only be called in when she is under threat. i think she called them because she does feel under threat - its her ego that is threatened. getting a meaningless parking ticket was a slap in the face for her because she feels she is too special to get one; she hated being under the same rules as the rest of humanity. she needed to feel important again so called in a police escort so she can be comforted and reassured by the sight of being escorted by police like a true V.I.P. she has become quite big-headed.
Dump her, dump her, dump her dump her, dump her, dump her, dump her, dump her, dump her,dump her,dump her dump her, dump her,dump her,dump her, dump her, dump her,dump her. :kate: :overhere:
Yes dump dump dump dump her. YES!
She whined to William. She is no people's princess but a rich spoiled little brat. She is so stupid that she doesn't realize how her demanding police protection after (gasp) getting a parking ticket made her preciousness look.
How pathetic that she has to have 10 now police officers, I guess this is one way of saying Now do you know who I am. (http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/talk024.gif)
. She is another arrogant rich ~edit~ . And it does demonstrate her self esteem issues. If she had just taken the parking ticket and paid it quietly the ~edit~ could just get on with it without police protection. The hysteria from this episode makes it seem like she was robbed at gunpoint. Lighten up Kate.

Let me :whine: some more
so now she is all smiling....like she is just loving all the attention she gets and the paps can take pics today i see....no tickets being handed out so i guess she is :thumbsup: with them as long as its all nice reports......sheesh! :hissyfit:

she has that stupid smirk on her face...she doesnt realize it yet but by doing this she just kissed the "stunning perfect" image the paps have build up good bye....the blacklash is going to get REAL NASTY.....
btw: the "K-team" is lucky the "L-team" didnt kick her sorry butt...... :rolleyes:
She's got that smirk on again... scares the **** out of me! But guys, sorry to be a traitor, that does seem an indication they may get engaged. And I'm tired of the "mays", and I have to say, I'm betting on "yes" again :(
Why because the papers would like to believe that with the protection for the photographers it's an engagement to william???? I don't think so it's because she got caught doing something wrong pictures wise and now she has to make up for her frowning angery face. She's all smiles again now because she's getting great coverage once more from the papers :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: Come protect me I can't handle it no more when she was doing just fine before the write up.
Oh dear! I can't find words. 6 policemen?!?!?! Who the hell is she?! The President of the US???? Why does she need SIX police officers?!?!? And I don't like the fact that she is smiling while the other day she was sooooo soooo cross! I mean I would like to have 6 police officers every time I go out. Having been fined is no reason for providing her with police escort. Also, does she wear the same clothes as the day before? Then what's the point of all her shopping?
This woman is just getting more and more irritating!!! :gaah:
It's 12 now when she goes clubbing with william She has 12 officers.
well, 2 were pws personal protection officers and the other ten were outside and only came at 3 am when there reportedly were a whopping 12 paps waiting for them...so it wasnt for km that they were there it was b/c supposedly pw was w/her.....or maybe its she was w/him?
btw: do we have any pics of this supposed night out w/pw? seems kind of odd that she would go out the same night that she had all this police protection just to get her to work?...... :shrug: ???
Well the papers
QuoteTwelve police officers were used to escort Prince William's girlfriend
but that's off topic was for clubbing last night, but still I think its ridiculous to pull out protection officers now after what 3 yrs dating smiling for the cameras and not once covering her face until she got caught with a violation from the law.
I love the comments on the DM site regarding the protection officers being used this way. People are waking up to the ways of this spoiled, rich girl. More and more of us see right through her. :yay: She's the one who loves being seen w/Wills. As someone has already said, she's telling the world "Do You Know Who I Am?"
in those pictures, km doesnt look like shes beaming with pride or is happy.
imo, those pictures make her smile look much more annoyed than anything. :shrug:
this is what dating pw is like. youd think shed know that by now. :unsure: the press wont turn on her when she expects it. itll probably just happen overnight. its just going to get worse fom here as specualtion increases. the press arent going to treat her like a baby forever.
i agree, propose to her or let her go. it is unfair to have kate go through all of this. :notamused:
What i am saing is she didn't have a problem with the press hanging around until she got (http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/busted.gif) for her parking ticket and pictured all over the newspapers and the phots from it now it's fear of her safty give me a break.
he needs to just go ahead and end it....he isnt ready to marry and heaven knows we dont want to put up w/this crap for the next 3+ yrs..... :thumbsdown:
:hissyfit: She got a ticket from a cop not a death threat or a love letter from a stalker! :gaah: :gaah: :ugh: :ugh:
Quoteitll probably just happen overnight. its just going to get worse fom here as specualtion increases. the press arent going to treat her like a baby forever.
If she continues to use excessive protection, acts like a spoiled snot when she gets a ticket, blames the press for everything, etc. they'll turn on her. She's been inadvertently giving them ammunition (Human Rights Court, shifting moods, threats of restraining orders, putting on airs, etc.) and the press will rip her to shreds. I don't know what my fellow posters here think, but she gives herself way too much credit and airs. The press as we all know (paparazzi included) are human beings who just want to make a bit of money to support themselves. Sooner or later it might actually begin.
Quote"Everyone appreciates that Kate is entitled to protection but until there is a formal announcement about her and William getting married she is not entitled to a full-time guard. The problem at the moment is that everything is being left to the last minute so we can't plan weeks ahead.
QuoteIt was a much smoother start to the day than on Wednesday, when she emerged to find a parking inspector writing her a £100 fine. As an ordinary member of the public, Miss Middleton is not entitled to formal police protection. That only happens if she gets engaged to her boyfriend of four years, Prince William.
It happend over night because she was photographed getting a ticket.
She looks pretty smug in that picture. If she's so worried about her protection I am sure mommy and daddy can hire a team of body guards for her, not like they don't have the money to do so. I still don't understand why all the fuss now after she's been followed for 3 yrs.

According to a genealogy expert quoted by the Daily Express, "Kate is a descendant of a well-heeled Leeds dynasty, the Luptons, and is a cousin of two Lupton sisters - Elizabeth and Elinor - who were cousins of Miss Potter. They received illustrated greetings cards from the author in the early days of the Twentieth century
What happen to the humble coal-minners daughter.
Well, the coal mining heritage is broght up when they want to make her sound like 'just folks.' Now she's apparantly related to anyone who counts in Britain. At least, interestingly, the elite when they want to make her out as good enough (or better) as William.
Police aid for royal girlfriend

she is just an attention grabber..nothıng more or less... :ugh: :ugh:
her boyfrıend wants to be treated lıke an ordınary man, but she wants to be treated as a queen... perfect couple.. :hissyfit: :hissyfit:
Such are the ironies of that relationship. Of course, William is actual royalty and Kate isn't. Come to think of it, Kate isn't much of anything.
finally daily mail is actually publishing plp's real comments.....what the heck is going on....i mean why isn't the royal family sitting this guy down 2 grow up & get out of this drunkenfest of a relationship...not 2 mention these kind of headlines :thumbsdown:
...my favorite comments are:
QuoteWhat a contrast between Miss Middleton who gets the protection of twelve officers because she is being 'harassed' and the recent murders of women who the police failed to protect despite knowing of threats to their safety. I cannot be the only person who thinks the police have got their priorities somewhat wrong here!
- Linda, manchester
This is outrageous! If Ms. Middleton was doing real work she would not be out clubbing everynight. There are plenty of animal and children's groups that could use a volunteer. Clearly, she is just another spoilt girl who will drain the English taxpayer. With all the terrorist threats, I think money for her protection could be better spent elsewhere. Perhaps she should try staying home some time. If she becomes Queen, I shall leave England.
- Sophie G., London, UK
QuoteIf she becomes Queen, I shall leave England.
That sounds like the "if bush becomes president i'm moving to canada" crap :rolleyes: that happened last election. They aren't married yet, don't get your plane ticket Sophie G from London. :thumbsup:
??? I just read all those comments, and the tabs are really building her up to tear her down. I couple, well like 12, months ago all those comments would have been "well good for her" or "i hope they marry" the tabs are manipulating this relationship for all it's worth
sorry for the double post.
actually most of the comments in the pasts consisted of 4-5 of the same plp mostly from the state commenting how wonderful she is....with others just saying why are we constantly on these plp's case since no one really knew what kate middleton was besides dating prince william.............it seems suddenly more plp are posing @ these articles due 2 the outrage many feel towards celebs & richie rich getting away with things avrg joe could never imagine :shrug:
Quoteits her ego that is threatened.
I agree. Especially since the cop who gave her the ticket didn't even know who she was. She must've felt crushed and probably pissed that he did not recognise her. As far as the geneology goes, now they want to bring up Kate's wealthy and powerful side of the family. :french:
I do believe the tabs are getting sick of this. It's the same thing. Kate goes shopping, to clubs, and maybe to work. They will turn on her they always turn on you. :notamused:
^ I agree and people like - Linda, manchester have a point.
QuoteI do believe the tabs are getting sick of this. It's the same thing. Kate goes shopping, to clubs, and maybe to work. They will turn on her they always turn on you.
The strange part is, she's handing them the ammunition. It's funny, because every time when she gets snubbed by someone, the more illustrioous side of her family is released, as if to remind people of their place. The press gve her plenty of goodwill too, she could have capitalized on that and what not. But no, she had to soak up the praise and get involved with games with the media. Has she learned nothing from Diana and Fergie's experiences? They both had pretty illustrious ancestors, but they played the media game and got mangled as a result.

this is what dating pw is like. youd think shed know that by now. :unsure: the press wont turn on her when she expects it. itll probably just happen overnight. its just going to get worse fom here as specualtion increases. the press arent going to treat her like a baby forever.
i agree, propose to her or let her go. it is unfair to have kate go through all of this. :notamused:
I agree..except for your last line...Kate knows what the go is....she's known Wills for a long time..she would have expected this..if she didn't then she is naive and therefore not ready for marriage. The media attention will only get worse if she married him...then what? :shrug:
QuoteAt a time when the Met is stretched making sure there is proper cover against a terror attack we really need to get this on to an official footing."
A recent report revealed the Met spent twice as much on terrorism and specialist operations, which include guarding politicians, royalty and VIPS, than tackling burglaries and robberies.
The bill for specialist operations last year came to £505 million while the amount spent on routine patrols fell from £331 million to £313 million.
:gaah: :gaah: They couldn't stop a serial killer from murdering more woman yet they can afford to place more officers than is needed with Kate :gaah:
I've said this before I will say it again she's playing with fire and she's going to get burned. Lets see how she puts a spin on it. :blink:
Or this could work in her favour and she could get an early proposal so she's protected :shrug:

If her parents can afford to purchase or rent that cushy flat she lives in, pay for her expensive Marlborough and uni educaitons, support her financially for 2 years post-uni when she wasn't working, and support her now when she only works 4 days/week....why can they not afford to hire their own bodyguard for her? Why do they need to use vital police services that can be put to better use protecting people that are actually under threat? Having a few photographers trailing her is not exactly endangering her?
Also, don't most clubs provide some sort of security for "VIP" guests to help them enter and leave their etablishment safely?
The Threat was she got a parking ticket had photographs of that happening and now she's needs protection for them all (http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/signs079.gif)
That is the stupidest reason I've ever heard for getting police protection.
Don't they want to play up the "Kate is just a normal, non-blue blooded girl" - "she gets parking tickets just like the rest of us. Let's embrace her as our future Queen"? They certainly have been throwing that in our faces for the past 3 years or so.
Although, recently that article came out about her pretigious lineage and relation to Beatrix Potter so now they're trying to play up her aristocratic roots?

Something is wrong with this whole situation :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh:
I have been lurking around this forum for a while, only reading the posts. I must say this is one of the best forums I've ever come across. The posts are so fun to read and the icons are so cute :thumbsup:. I finally couldn't resist and decided to join and voice my opinion.
I think Kate Middleton can't wait to become a princess/queen. She has 'ambition' written all over her face and I wonder whether she truly loves Prince William. Also, the fact that her parents are social climbers is very worrysome to me. Her mom 'pushing' her into enrolling at St. Andrews and then now her father getting his own coat of arms. I also don't like the clothes she wears for work. What's with the short skirts and the same stockings? I know as a private citizen she's entitled to wear whatever she wants but she's no ordinary citizen like anyone else. She's dating a very high profile person and should be very careful because her every little move is being scrutinized (which is very unfortunate). I don't feel sorry for the gal, it comes with the territory. She knew waht she was getting into. It will take a miracle for her to become a 'people's princess'. Not by the way she's behaved lately. When she got the ticket from the officer, she should have taken it and walked away with grace (and with a smile). To me she's nothing less than a manipulator. But now, seeing all the police protection she was provided, I have the gut feeling Prince William will propose soon, perhaps this weekend? Her birthday is next Tuesday, he's due back in the army on Monday. So, it might happen this weekend or on her birthday perhaps? I have no idea how his schedule will be like. Maybe if he can see her on that day, he'll propose. But I think he's too young to be tied down. As for the royal wedding, I am not a bit curious. All royal weddings are the same. The cortège, the royal family arriving at the cathedral, the couple stepping out onto the balcony to waive at the adoring crowd and share a kiss. I am not even curious about her wedding dress, judging by her fashion choices, I can just imagine what atrocity she's going to wear. I was sixteen years old when Princess Diana died and judging all the unhappiness she had ( my mom told me everything and I've read a lot about her), royal weddings lost the magic for me. Not even Prince William will bring it back. Especially if he marries this Kate Middleton (she's a far cry from being a 'people's princess') :hissyfit:. Many articles are claiming how great she is, that she can save the royal family, how pretty, how stylish and perfect she is. I am yet to see one thing she does to label her fit to be queen. My mom told me the same was said about Sarah Ferguson and look how her marriage to Prince Andrew ended! I don't think they are giving Prince William the credit he deserves. If anyone is a breath of fresh air in that clan, that would be him!
To me, there's something about Kate Middleton that doesn't click! :thumbsdown: I honestly think she's phony and her real goal is to become queen.
Sorry for the long post and I didn't mean to offend any Kate fans out there. It's just the way I feel. I highly enjoy this forum! Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:
:thumbsup: Well put Paige. I agree with what you've said, not that I have to agree or disagree just what you wrote makes alot of sense. royal wedding aren't fairy tails.

Loved your post paige81, it was very insightful. She'll be twenty five in a few days I wonder if her mother is worrying that Kate might NOT get that proposal she seems to so desperately seems to want.
I wish someone would take pictures of all the paps that follow her around all day. I wonder how many of them greet her outside her apartment building everyday?
From the ticket incident I counted 3. From the different angles taken of the same kate-action. :windsor1:
I doubt if there were more that they wouldn't have sold on those images by now :kate:
From Boujis the press reported 12..a far cry from Diana's 30 odd pre-engagement :notamused:

Yes, I know. ;) I'm trying not to laugh.
Me 2 tami
I don't even think she would have to pay them, she'd just have to make a deal, Kate gets good press and THEY the paps get access of her comings and goings with William and alone, IF they stay far enough away. If she becomes Queen the press machine will have gotten their money's worth and more, also Mother-Midds gets her payoff being Queen Consort's mum and Kate's payoff is Queen Consort , William's wife, its a win for Kate, Mum and the press, UNLESS the press suddenly turns, which they can't at this point. If William breaks up with her, I think suddenly we'll hear a lot of un-told stories about Kate's mum handling of Kate and the press concerning her courtship with William.
:laugh: Carry on.
Well I hope someone other than tax payers are paying for this protection
and also I meant the press would not pay her...for anything.
Ok..here it is. People like Kate don't PAY for good press. Take for example Camilla Parker Bowles. She had an informant relationship with a tabloid reporter and for many years during the Diana/Charles marriage, she would have phone conversations to tell him details of the marriage. I doubt she asked for/or got any money/nor did she pay them to print what she wanted. It doesn't work that way. People leak stuff all the time to the press..they don't get paid/pay for...but they do it for reasons only known to themselves :gaah:
So who do you think is her Stuart Higgins or Richard Kay ? If it's not Kate leaking it directly it's someone awfully close to her -- James Whitaker had Lady Sarah Spencer for years as a "source close to Diana."
Take your pick. She seems favoured by The Daily Mail..so your guess is as good as mine... :gaah:
Not Richard Kay..I doubt they'd trust him after his Diana relationship :thumbsup:
first, i think its interesting the CH is so silent about this whole thing...
second, if km has complained the paps follow her "day and night" since leaving SA, then why do we not get more pics....like new ones everyday?
SG: about making a deal w/the paps....i read somewhere that diana in fact made a deal w/the paps right before the engagement announcement and they were okay w/it...she was like "can you give me at least xxx feet of room and take pics like that?"......so why doesnt km do the same? :shrug: not that i think she has got near the amount of "harrassment" that diana at only 19 dealt with....
I don't think the parking ticket had anything to do with Kate getting protection. Apparently, a German magazine ran a story and mentioned where Kate lived. If that's the case, protection was a good idea.
that was years ago
Most of the DM articles written about Kate aren't that deep. :shrug: I could write most of the stuff they write about her. On occasion there are a few quotes from friends here and there in articles. But most of the time the DM recycles their Kate stories.
that german story came out a longggggggggggg time ago, dtb55....so that cant be why she all of a sudden needed 6 officersto surround her and follow her to work......

I agree. But it's not the constant rehashing of Great Kate things that I'm talking about.

Why on earth would a parking ticket require extra security. Did the extra security stop the paparazzi from taking her picture as she left for work the next day -- doesn't appear so.
No..but it stoppped them from getting close.
It has nothing to do with security. It has to do with the increasing specualtion that she will marry Wills.
If they are irratated..annoyed or scared by the amount of paps surrounding her then they need to make a statement ending the speculation. As Wills did for Jecca. :notamused:

Do you think that by announcing their engagement and ending the speculation, the paparazzi will go away? It will get worse. They will announce their engagement when they are good a ready regardless of what we want or think. So far, I think she is handling herself beautifully. I'm sure she will make mistakes as Diana did, but I just hope she doesn't turn out to be the whack job that Diana was.

That's what I have been saying .. please read my posts next time. :hmm: It will get worse..but they need to stop the speculation by either saying they have no plans to marry or announcing their engagement. Either way they'll still be in the spotlight...no use crying about :whine:

CH hasn't spoken up because there is going to be W&K engagement announcement very soon.
:lmao: What happened from yesterday Tami? :huh?:
I'm having fun. :hiya:
:blink:
It's better then doing this>> :gaah: :ugh:
:lmao:
why would they wait until monday to announce an engagement? he leaves on monday.....we may get an announcement but it may not be an engagement one...pw could very well do a "prince felipe" and have an official statement reading the relationship has ended by mutual agreement (like felipe and that eva girl)....the paps stop messing w/that girl and she has now moved on....just like km can do....
btw: why do i get a feeling we are going to get a BIG story and some sort of official announcement this weekend from either CH or BP? ??? pw cant just leave on monday and leave everything up in the air...that wouldnt be fair to km.....she would be stuck in london to deal w/the press.....and just how long would the metro continue to protect km w/o anything official? :unsure:
What? You just said conflicting things there Lola :lmao:
she was by herself while he was training and no announcement was ever made.
why would they announce anything now? :shrug:
how long will pw be gone as of monday?
can't they afford private protection for kate if it's this bad????

He's going to Bovington, Dorset. Same as Harry. Be there during the week and when he's rostered on weekends I suppose :shrug:
I get the feeling that this lazy, unimpressive woman will be William's wife and he is lazy and unimpressive by her extension.

you say that like its a
new thing for me to be that way..... :lmao:
smarty: the reason they would do so now is b/c i think he wont be allowed off the property even for weekends.....and its going to be months before he can get any real time off too.....plus, she cant just go visit him there either...unless its your spouse or immediate family they cant visit him there....so i think that is why i think we may get
some sort of official announcement this weekend whether that be an engagement or break-up one, i have no idea.... :shrug:
wombat: what do you mean by "rostered"? :unsure:

He'll be allowed days off. Harry was. By rostered I mean he'll have days where he has to work and days when he'll be able to go and do what he likes. :rolleyes: Just like Harry. He's not confined to base..he can't live off base but he can still leave whenever he's not working.
OMG! :huh?: That was some UGLY outfit she was wearing to go clubbing. It's so hilarious! She wears the clubbing outfits for work and the work outfits to go clubbing! I still think the marriage proposal is her birthday present from Wills! God knows if he had not proposed already as I write!
QuoteLawyers for Kate Middleton, the girlfriend of Prince William, have raised with Scotland Yard their fears for her safety after a series of incidents with the paparazzi.
:gaah:

SY only responds 2 terrorist/serious crimes....not 2 mention only the appropriate gov't dept/royal family can make any legitimate request.....the police handles any other form of harrasment :gaah:
QuoteA senior police source said: 'As far as we are concerned, it's not a question of if they will be engaged, but rather when. Officers are working on the basis that there'll be an imminent announcement.
:rolleyes: can London paper atlease write believable crap....as if thou police officers are privy 2 royal plans of an engagement...or...would ever comment on it :shrug:
...anyway....I don't see why William or CH need 2 make any statement about his relationship with Kate...what can they really say w/o sounding rude 2 kate....if he's still with her....he can't say: I HAVE NO PLANS 2 MARRY ANYONE...if he dumps her....then lack of togetherness pics will eventually speak volume...&....CH will announce its usual comments like his former gfs.....from what I understand....only time a gf is confirmed is when its 2 be followed by an engagement....like with Diana.....Mary....&....others.
as wombat indicated earlier...nothing has changed....these police officers were probably there for William...&...she's with him...the media are just running with their favorite headlines :thumbsdown:
so shes going to the lawyers again?
what have they done to her? :blink:
this is ridiculous.
maybe this is only another one of the press' attempts to push the envelope?
so why did we get that story about him going on base and having to stay there for longer periods of time and her not being allowed to go visit b/c she is not a wife? what irks me is why cant pw and km do as ph and cd by going out of london to conduct their relationship...we dont see ph and cd going out to london night clubs all the time do we? usually they take trips alone and away (as much as possible that is) from the paps....even if cd was there in london, i think we wouldnt see her nearly as much as we do km....and to say km is the "new diana" is insulting.....she is no diana....and its been only "up to ten paps" at one time? diana had 50+ ....when it gets to that point, then she would ask for protection....and her parents should have already stepped in and hired a bodyguard...if she is such a private citizen then it is up to her to get the protection she feels she needs not pw....

QuoteThis young woman is not the fiancée of Prince William or somebody who has chosen to be a celebrity. She is the girlfriend of Prince William, with no constitutional position, and is as entitled to her privacy as anyone else.
I'm glad to hear she is not the fiancee of the prince but whether or not she has chosen to be a celebrity has become murky this past year. She has chosen to NOT work and instead go clubbing and dancing with William's celebrity/aristo circle of friends. If she had chosen to live quietly I'd have more sympathy for her but I have none.
This is the same paper that a said
QuoteThe Daily Telegraph has published pictures of Miss Middleton and, reflecting the great public interest in her, has also run articles about her: one such appears today. So long as she remains in the public eye, we shall continue in the same, appropriate way to reflect this interest.

That's a good point. If she had chosen to work and now had a "career" I doubt the press would be pushing this so hard. But seeing as she is just playing at a "job" the press have their reason and main thrust to keep on with the marriage rumours. :notamused:
I think the next thing we'll hear is that she quit her job because of "pressure" from the paparazzi.
Don't say that sandy :windsor:
If this story about her parents running around with their lawyer is true...then he better tell them....their money is going 2 waste....SY wouldn't even acknowledge their request...w/o royal ascend.....if Kate wants her privacy...then she can start by having a life that doesn't revolve around William...use that money her parents spend on her on a daily basis by contacting the many top 'security firm' full ex-military & assassins who protect the rich & infamous for a price.....otherwise....if this crap continues...they are only doing themselves a disservice!

She isn't Diana there was only one.
Actually, if Charles hadn't caved there would not have been an engagement to Diana. Hopefully William won't cave.
well I doubt she'd be going to the press complaints thingy if she were engaged :gaah:

I couldn't have said it better myself :thumbsup:. What about the fictitious story of PW and KM spending New Year's Eve in the Swiss Alps? Didn't happen! And what about KM having fittings with Alexander McQueen for a dress to be worn at the Christmas gathering at Sandringham? Didn't happen! Nor did William spending time with the Middleton's in Scotland over New Year's. I don't know what to believe anymore. I think that if PW gets engaged at such a young age due to pressure, he's a very weak individual and was indeed manipulated by the press and his advisors (provided it's true they told him to make a decision). I still have a sliver of hope he learned something from his parent's mistake and don't propose to 'La Kate' so soon due to pressure.

Sorry to ask, which paper did you read that in?
theyve definitely got to do something imo.
this police protection story has made the engagement speculation soar. :gaah:
help us all. :cry:
:gaah:
so she hired a police officer to protect her from other police offers?! ... man, she's a weirdo.
Princess Mary never complained about the press or tried to stop them from doing their job. The Danish tabloids had gone thru her garbage and published the info they found out about her. She was on the cover of the tabloids constantly, more than Kate is now actually. But there were never any pictures of her clubbing and shopping all the time. There was no falling out of bars at 3 o'clock in the morning with Frederik or his friends. She had a job. 8)
Princess Maxima was also hounded by the press and the Dutch tabloids were ruthless going thru her father's Argentine junta past. They started trying to dig up dirt on her "partying" in New York. But Maxima was not clubbing and shopping or complaining about the press. She had no right to. She was dating the future King of the Netherlands. Instead she was working, and she was secretly learning to speak Dutch. :thumbsup:
Felipe and Letizia kept their romance a secret until they were engaged. Letizia didn't even tell her own parents she dating her country's crown prince and future King. She told them she was engaged only a few days before the public announcement. But she continued to go on television every night and deliver the news without giving away a thing to anybody. ;)
Pampered, spoiled Kate needs to get a life. She is not being hounded nearly as much as Diana was who had dozens of photogs on her from the first moment they knew who she was. Kate has had years of dating William without any intrusion and it is she who has put herself out there for all to see. :thumbsdown:

I AGREE totally with you hippi_cyndi ! I am dumbfounded at PW's choice and even more shocked as to WHY on earth would the QUEEN even CONSIDER this woman of 25 who DRINKS and acts like a sailor until THREE A.M. so often (AND who is so LAZY and smug about it all) ?????? It seems unheard of! I must admit, I am NEW to following any/all of this Kate news, but I became interested a few weeks ago, and read info/posts/forums to pickup the major details quickly. NOW, this latest story (everyone assuming and waiting/expecting an official engagement?? I'd hate to cal PW spineless but come on why be pressured into such an early marriage.... HE IS A KID ! A man is very YOUNG at 24 ! ALL I can say is, I NEVER should have given PW ANY credit for having his OWN MIND. KATE is really the best the RF can do?! * On another forum, lol, a poster likened " her BIG mannish fat face to Jay Leno in a wig " . Harsh I thought but then I looked at recent close-ups...hmmmmmm. And as an American, all I can think is, that the monarchy has been watered down, or dumbed down, meaning STANDARDS have OBVIOUSLY been tremendously LOWERED. :(

Quoteofficers form a cordon for grinning Kate as she leaves
Well done Midds you played it all so well. And what's that- the hideous floral dress is available in Jigsaw stores nationwide? So product placement as well! :rolleyes:
I found this from the Sun online (at the end of the story about Kate's protection...) : " Earlier this year Prince Harry's girlfriend Chelsy Davy was given an armed escort after landing at Heathrow.
The stunning blonde was led through Terminal Four by five officers as she arrived to watch Harry's passing out parade at Sandhurst. "
So, I am wondering, now, why did Chelsea have this protection too? Did anyone else catch this story?
QuoteSo it was a real shock when two vans full of cops arrived.
Two vans full of cops just to escort these two from a night club at 3 in the morning? It's not like they were helping starving children in Africa or consoling victims of terrorism. What an arrogant display of privilege.
Yeah, Chelsy had a group of officers escort her from Heaththrow last year and there was no hysteria about an imminent engagement. It also didn't look like Chelsy was using them to try to ward off traffic wardens because of illegal parking.

Never before has a non-marital partner been afforded this level of recognition by a monarch but, rather than embrace this modern approach, Middleton allegedly said she would rather wait until there is a ring on her finger, and would only sacrifice her own family Christmas if she were sure of becoming Prince William's wife.
Err.....didn't Fawbie say there had been times when a royal gf had been invited?

Okay this just pisses me right off!! They say she isn't the fiancee of William, and had no intention of becoming a celebrity and therefore as a private citizen is entitled to privacy. Okay I understand that.Everybody is entitled to privacy, famous or not. What I don't understand is the ''no intention of becoming a celebrity'' part. Although IMO I don't consider her a celebrity, instead of b******* to her lawyers for fears for her safety, being ''hounded'' by the paps, she should of thought about all of this shit when she started dating William. What does she expect when one is dating the heir to the throne. Of course she is going to arouse public interest, especially in the UK, this girl is their ''potential'' future queen, the public have the right to know about who and what their tax money is paying for, and also to determine if she is an asset or liability to their country. In that respect she NEEDS those paps to promote her which as we all know THEY HAVE...to goddess status. She should be greatful, it could be a hell of a lot worse! Although there could be some ''serious'' threat's to her safety, some of which we don't know of, it's all to be expected when your dating William, your privacy will be comprimised if anything diminished. You can't date William and be a totally private citizen too. Sorry honey, but you can't have a tiara, cough,cough, and privacy too!!!!! Sorry it's so long!
The Express..part of their article..
QuoteKate gets a police escort
KATE Middleton was yesterday given a 10- strong police escort as she left a nightclub in the small hours. Uniformed officers including constables and a sergeant arrived in two vans and formed a cordon to escort her and Prince William from trendy London club Boujis at 3am. Although the Prince usually has his own guards, it was the sight of a team dedicated to Kate that fuelled speculation the lovebirds are set to get engaged.The rise in protection comes after increasing numbers of paparazzi have started following Kate, who is expected to one day marry William and be a future Queen.Such interest in the couple brings back memories of Prince William's mother Diana, who was followed endlessly by photographers.She was being pursued by a gang of paparazzi when she was killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997. It is thought 24-year- old Kate's rising profile – which has grown rapidly over the past few months – has led to increased protection to avert a similar disaster. Police were stationed outside her home in Chelsea on Thursday to cope with the growing number of cameramen waiting to catch her go to work. The problem of snappers has become so bad for her that she made a complaint about them following her in 2005. As an ordinary member of the public she is not entitled to a police guard – but would qualify for the protection should she become engaged to Prince William.The security detail came just days after photographers captured embarrassing images of Kate receiving a parking ticket near her west London home. A Scotland Yard spokeswoman last night said of the increased security: "We don't comment on protection matters. We never have and we never will."
Diana didn't die because of paps..Diana died as a result of a drunk driver :thumbsdown:
dude! in the pictures of the sun Kate looks so wasted, but ironicly that's how she looks everyday! she probably drinks a bottle of brandy before going out! she goes through life... walking... looking wasted! :gaah:
She looks the way she does because she is forcing a smile instead of it being natural. She should just not do anything and follow Wills lead :whine:
I think Kate and her mother are desperately using the press attention from the intrusive Papparazzi to FORCE an Engagement out of Willlam, before he gets settled into Military life. I think Kate and Mum Midds were frustrated by NO Engagement ring, or Proposal at Christmas or New Years and this is a frustrated move to play Kate as little lost UNENGAGED-Lamb in the big city all alone with those nasty pappz and their camera lenses ; of course the only solution for Mom-Midds and Kate is an OFFICIAL ENGAGMENT Announcement or a home for Kate on one of the protective Royal Estates until they can work William into an Engagement announcement. I don't think Charles or the Queen is going to fall for this at all , there are a few alternatives for William and Kate...1.Official Engagement\ Marriage..2.Kate moving into William's Apartment on one of the Royal Estates (to which they could Probably Never GET HER OUT without a Fight, IF HE WANTED TO BREAK-UP WITH HER)...3. Have Kate stop going to clubs with William .4. Have William cool his relationship with Kate IF he doesn't intend to marry her(she's 25 now and many will say he's JUST WASTING HER TIME IF HE DOESN'T INTEND TO MARRY HER. 5.....uh...no idea....brain freeze. Sorry. :cry: :blink:
In my opinion the only thing suss about all of this is that it's just come now and after two articles which didn't show her in a favourable light. Nothing more to it than that. Kate's just whinging and Wills is responding. :whine:

The press or the Middleton's are getting desperate and frustrated..I hope William NEVER Proposes and she eventually moves on to some PM's friends son or Aristo titled-guy, when she's in her late 20's( mummsie-Midds will be disappointed at missing the Top Tiara but still be pleased.)
Press are getting desperate :thumbsup:
I'm wondering now that Kate is "big news" internationally, why no kiss-and-tell boyfriend or backstabbing "friend" has stepped up to give a paid interview...all the stories seem positive - I don't think I've ever recalled a celebrity (or quasi-celebrity) receiving this much good press with virtually no bad press. I mean, the worst thing we've heard so far is regarding the mooning incidents and some whispering that her mother is a social climber.
I reckon if Midds just hates all the attention (yeah right :rolleyes:) then she could save the paps, police, Wee Willy and the rest of humanity a lot of time, money and effort if she just stayed at home. But she just luuurves it all too much.

It'll happen..at the moment there's a real positive spin to this girl. The media adoration will sell..but they almost always end up turning because negative coverage sells more..some people like hearing about the failings of others :(
:brainwashed:
I don't mind negative coverage about people as long as it's true and plays fairly...just as I don't mind positive coverage as long as it's fair and balanced. Whenever there is a "spin" put on things - positive or negative - it just leaves me feeling uneasy - like we're not getting the whole story.
Sorry, but Kate should expect to be "hounded" by the media if she's in the spotlight. You can't tell me that Wills hasn't at least broached this subject to her! If she can't handle the extra attention and the lack of personal privacy, she'd do well to stay in her class. Personally, I think Wills could do a lot better than Kate, but that's my opinion.
I don't think she should expect to be hounded...she should expect to get a lot of attention..but I do agree that Wills would have most definately talked about this with her.

Well if Kate marries Wills we'll never get the whole story....we're not now and they proect her even more then :thumbsdown:
Wow. First post and already you don't like Kate. :laugh: Steve?? You're a bloke? :woo: :woo:
Learn to live with it, Kate. That's the best (and last) advise I can give you. :thumbsup:
I think Kate would have to be incredibly naive to not realize the amount of media coverage surrounding her...and yes, I'm sure that William would have talked to her, most likely several times, to prepare her for this. From what I can see - the press intrusion is really not all that bad compared to what a lot of other celebrities have to deal with on a daily basis. I haven't seen TV crews following her around - just photographers (and it doesn't seem like too many of them, at that).
I agree Miry :thumbsup:
Pre-empting? :blink: That what all this is :thumbsup:
That's a lot of thumbs up today from you, woms. I feel honoured :Royal: :teehee:
from today's daily star...
QuoteA Clarence House spokesman said last night: "We're not in a position to comment on why the police were supporting her.
"Kate is a private individual and not a member of the Royal Family."
:hmm: what does that mean?
I read the story about PW SPEEDING on his 175mph motorbike (I am sure most of you saw this recent story?) and after the tragic way in which his beloved Mother died, plus the way his trailing protection-police-guards said they would NOT follow such speeds (it being a danger to his life AND theirs!), ANDDDDDDD PW's very irresponsibly LAME comments about how life is all about taking chances here, there, and everywhere (MY WORDS! NOT HIS...BUT I AM MOCKING HIS SILLY REASONS AND COMMENTS!), then I am coming to the conclusion that PW has absolutely NO sense whatsoever. (Or respect for his own life?). Look at Princess Diana... Look at our beloved JFK Jr. Both taken so young.
Hi hippie_cyndi. Hmmm. I am wondering what that means too. Doesn't Clarence House announce things, OR maybe they're waiting for the birthday on Tuesday? (I was just logging off to sleep when I saw your post ..now I'm off, see y'all tomorrow , Saturday, USA EST around 3 PMish)
:blink: Supporting her? ???
While I'm in my drunk state, I wil reply by saying...Well, in my educated opinion, Kate Middleton has our envy, but why? We're individuals with lives to lead. What the hell do we want anyway? The throne? yeah, right. get real. ok. She is being taken care of with safety precautions from the police, it means they care. and then what? Well, she might be the future Queen. Ok. But, I'm not going to give her that much. Weights and measures I say. Things don't always run smoothly for status, and her stats in my opionion are going to crumbles. I've had 12 beers, and I made it home. I think that Kate needs a little maturity, but she's growing, as we all are. But, I think that she should take things in moderation and not to withhold or deny what things she can do to make her stats more good.( I'm so drunk. I've made more than five corrections here. ) So, here's my song...If Kate were Queen she'd be quite mean, she'd take the whole lot of us, and wipe us clean, she'd run us up and charge us like credit cards, she'd holiday, and make us be billed large. She'd break us out, and give us a rash, that still continues everlast, she'd hug us all, but be so partial, she'd love us all, but then just dump us. That's my song. Yay. Wee. Meat is murder.
:mellow:
I'm so sick of Middleton, her sense of style (or the lack of it) and her idiot grin that is on her face every time she is surrounded by policemen. She does enjoy the whole situation, it's written all over her face.
Well if she wanted to stay low it back fired. :overhere:
I just read at the Daily Star Weekend that 12 cops helped Wills and Kate have a night out. The police cordon included 10 officers and the Prince's 2 personal armed guards.
Sorry, it is already posted in PW news
it's beyond me why the headlines are all saying 'fears for safety'. safety from what? it can't be the papparazzi; she is absolutely LOVING the attention she is getting. in that photo in the sun we can all see that she is absolutely drunk with happiness. she is being treated like royalty, like someone very special and the bad memory of being given a parking ticket like she is a normal commoner is rapidly fading away. how can she go around escorted by police to keep press away from her when at the same time she's smiling like a lunatic at them?! how can she complain?!
perhaps she knew that getting all this police around her would increase speculation about marriage and that's what she wants. she wants to put pressure on willy to propose on her birthday, like someone else in forum suggested.
imagine if willy broke off with her instead. oh how she would fall off her high horse with a mighty slump :faint:. would serve her right because she has just become so overly sure of herself and is more in love with the lifestyle of being a member of royal family than with william
That's my problem she didn't have a problem with this papparazzi until they took pictures of her getting a ticket for parking in a spot that was clearly marked, the ticket master didn't know who she was and this is one way of making sure everyone knows now. Protection from what is my question if the papparazzi was following her like the papers have stated, we would have kate pictured everywhere.
I don't think William is deeply in love with Kate, I think she's fun, convenient and always available(emotionally and sexually) but he doesn't look like he loves her deeply enough for marriage. I still don't think he'll EVER Marry her, no matter how much the press tries to "trumpet up" an engagement from him. She's 25 "if" William and Kate have had a serious discusion about their future and wether it involves marriage to her, no one really knows, but if they haven't ...well what should Kate do...If she really wants marriage and William is not willing? William probably knws by know if he really wants to marry Kate. In my opinion he doesn't even look at her like he's deeply in love with her, his father looks at Camilla after 35 years with more love then William projects towards young Kate in photos.
Here is the look of a man really truly besotted and in love with his bride(Pr. Fred of Denmark) and he looked at her the same way when she was just his "girlfriend"...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEjWKVb4MZs&mode=related&search= (hope link is okay, if not sorry) :flowers:
and Mary never looked unsure or like she was still trying to "woo" Fred in the early photos of them when they were dating, like Kate does when she's with William. Mary looks calm and serene, she always did. Kate looks either sullen or big eyed, never do I sense a calmness from her in photos with William. She does pull off lookng quite smug sometimes though!!!! :kate: :notamused: :cry: :cry:
i am so over all the hype of km and her supposed "harassment" by the paps....its old and i am tired of hearing about.....break up w/her, marry her or allow it to continue, pw b/c i am no longer even interested in what you do or not do....if she had a "death threat" or whatever, i would think we would have heard about it somehow...but we didnt...if she had been threaten i maybe could sympathize w/her b/c no one deserves that just b/c they happen to be dating a prince. my intincts say it was over blown reaction to the whole ticket incident....but again...i no longer care..... <_<
Thanks for posting that, SG -- now THAT's a 1 am, 3 am, 5:30 pm Look of Genuine Love thing they've got going -- I have no doubt that Fred picked Mary because he wanted to not because he felt he had to get something over with and she was convienient. My fave Royal couple ever!
Just wish we got more coverage of them in the States -- at least we can find out more in the Australian papers and I don't have to struggle with reading the Danish magazines.
BOT: William may look resigned in front of the paps when Kate's around -- fair enough, he doesn't like them -- but why does he look so much happier (not in a drunken way, either) when she's not -- and those same paps are present then as well? What explains that?
Either a fricking announcement is coming for our two immature lovebirds or MaMidds is attempting to force William's hand by whipping up some artificial conflict. Honestly, why complain now ??**!! S
She's been getting roughly the same amount of coverage as before -- and I don't see that the paps are riding alongside her on motorbikes on the way to work -- it looks pretty tame by comparison.
As for fears for her safety (other than the paps causing a wreck) I'd say she's safer now than she's ever been in terms of the general public -- she has half a dozen witnesses photographing her every move ...
Is Kate going to cop a ring???? I don't know if someone post it before....
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007000783,00.html
I love the comments section of the SUN , Wombat is funny. I hope William is already heading towrds his bunk and has left Kate behind with NO RING or Proposal. The Royal Fam. must be sick of her.(One only hopes!)
Agree and at least the Sun prints all kinds of comments ...
The DT is mostly pro-Monarchy and -- as long as she stays on the RF's good side -- a completely pro-Kate paper it looks like -- I think they only had one slightly negative article that mentioned her for some golddigger piece (in Nov. 2005, I believe) and that seemed primarily directed toward Carole if I recall correctly ...
The DM is owned by one of the Luptons, I believe? (j/k)
But seriously, they are so unquestioningly pro-Kate it's nauseating ...
"It didn't seem to faze her though. She was smiling for the cameras as she left."
What happened to the harrassment :whine:and torture :whine:?? What happened to no privacy :whine:?
She is just toooooo fake :hissyfit:
It did faze her though she's gotten lawyers and the police on her side protecting her now,after her ticket write up, oh the people just won't leave me alone then as she smiles waiting for William at the club. Grinning from ear to ear, yet she's afraid of the paparazzi 's but her expression says something completly different.

Sorry to ask, which paper did you read that in?
I was offline for a time, sorry I missed your post. I actually read it somewhere on this forum, in a link for some ironic article that inlcluded thoughts on how Kate's a "calming influence" on Kate. I remember you all had a bit of fun with that, but don't know which. Hope not DM ;)
LOVE your posts, serene grace! I am wondering now EXACTLY WHEN there could be an announcement? Seems to me, IF everyone involved (QE, PW, KM, RF, etc) were really SURE about KM, wouldn't the palace and RF have ORCHESTRATED all of this more magnificantly? (Meaning, EVERYONE KNEW PW is leaving Monday...knew this for ages! Sooo, WHY not have the most spectacular Christmas or even New Year's, and have it all happen then? )Instead, no KM even with the RF at Xmas!! It all seems so haphazard and trial an error. MY observations only. *PW is gone for her Tuesday birthday, so does anyone know IF PW and KM need to be together when announcement is made, or how does the RF and CH handle announcements??
My question is, seeing that Kate is a ''private'' citizen who in the hell is paying for her protection? I personally would be totally pissed if everybody's taxes were being spent on a girl who isn't a member of the royal family. All of this security hype because of her whinging arse! >:(Unless the girl has been receiving death threats, putting up with stalkers, receiving hate mail, and so on, she needs to get over it! :rant:How the paps are ''hounding'' her is noble compare to what Diana had to go through at the tender age of 19. Now that is what I call hounding! What Diana went through! :rant2:Diana claimed that she considered it inappropriate to complain to Charles about the press, so she remained silent. She added that she had asked him and the buckingham palace office for help, but they told her ''your on your own''.She had to deal with it. If Kate can't handle the pressure now, how will she handle it when and if she becomes a member of ''The Firm''?
From the looks of it she won't be able to handle it.
she lıkes paparazzis as long as they don't block her way by tarnishing her image.She lıkes beıng chased when she's with william or beıng accompanıed by apoliceman but when she was caught on the cameras gettıng parkıng tıcket aand makıng fuss, they turn ınto evil. She seems using them as how she wants by creatıng the mood she lıke,but ıt's the wrong way whıch was followed by Dıana too.

What are you trying to say Dizzy? :lmao:
Ok...an interesting and yet not Kate-fawning report on Sky news Australia this morning...regarding this whole episode. They told about her increased protection..the marriage speculation..etc etc...(even the headline is "Increased spec. that Willsis about to announce his engagement")... then they interviewed Ken Wharf (former police guard of Di). He said he asked Diana what it was all like in the beginning when she was being followed everywhere. He said she thought it was a laugh. He said that she enjoyed the attention and that he thought perhaps Kate did as well. He also said that in time she will not enjoy it so much. He went on to say that being praised etc probably makes her feel good but eventually will tire of it all. I thought that was interesting..especially considering Diana was hounded far more than Kate. :shrug:
Hmmm... I agree wombat, I too find that interesting. I've always thought Kate has enjoyed all that praise and attention. Do you think she will tire of all that ''adoration''? I guess you can only put up with something for so long. Kate in the future when she tires from all of it, will probably do a total turn around and show the press her nasty side, her ''true'' side, that's when the paps will take her off her perfect pedastal. Who knows what will happen?
Wharf said that it was after Diana's marriage that she started to tire..especially when things started getting bad and she needed space and privacy. :notamused:
Even though I do not condone any former employee of an of the members of the RF who do anything resembling a tell-all, I do like Ken Wharf. He seems to have level-headed comments most of the time.

I'm not going to say anything about the "great love" of Charles and Camilla for 35 years. I think they just got stuck with each other. And Charles was involved with other women including Diana and she was married.
The couple to compare W and K to is his own brother Harry and his GF Chelsy. There is a picture where they are totally absorbed in each other. I never saw Wills look at Kate the way Harry looks at Chelsy. And the "look of love" pics with W and K just show her with the insane grin and Wills looking somewhat bored.
You mean the "drunk 3am look of love" pics.....someone take a pic of me leaving a nightclub...I'll look the same way if I have a guy in my sights :shrug:
Kate has self esteem issues, has a dominating mother and seems to believe her own publicity. She is carried away by the Kate spin and probably has a few scrapbooks of her pics and Saint Kate articles or Mum probably has. Kate doesn't like the paparazzi when they show her in a bad light. Otherwise she grins and grins and has the insane smile for them. She practically wore red neon to the Passing Out and that Fur Hat which practically said Look at Me at Cheltenham. If William complains he should either say publicly that there is no wedding imminent nor an engagement, drop her, or make up his mind. I think he likes getting the milk for free and doesn't want to settle down with her now or possibly never.

Yes, the one where she shows every single tooth in her head and grins inanely. Nobody in the press bothers to question why Wills looks less than enthusastic and doesn't seem to be even looking at her. I think there were pics with Wills facing the cameras but they were never published--the disinterest was all too evident.
Wow! I still think all this is really over that parking ticket.
I agree with everyone else on the whole " :kate: has issues" bandwagon. I also agree with the people saying they that someone is trying to force this. Now who that person or those people are is the question. Totally IMO. :french:
The media? :shrug:
Kate has a spokeswoman so she's cleaning up for her :wait: :rant2: :faint:
the article says that she feels her life is becoming intolerable. if the price i had to pay for living in a 2 million dollar apartment would be to have my picture taken everyday, then, hey, where do i sign up. buck up!
Wombat
Probably. BUT I do agree with the people who say things like "if you don't want your picture taken don't stalk the paps." If I got to talk to :kate: I would say "what did you think getting the police and the court system involved do? Make them go way????!!!! They'll just stand 10 feet away to take the picture."
bb
Me two. That's the price of being rich, beautiful, and famous. :whine:
What I don't get is that there are barely that many paps that follow her around on a daily basis. I mean probably 2 or 3 but Kate should just consider them family since they actually care to give her the free publicity that she seems to crave. What I don't get is that why does she need bodyguards? Lindsay Lohan has like 10 or more paps following her on a daily basis and she doesn't employ a bodyguard. Seriously does she even know what it truely means to having your life disrupted by the media. But it seems to bother her so much that she smiles at the paps at every moment.
I know she just doesn't make since she's all smiles until they capture her getting a parking ticket now all gloves are on for harassment
Princess in waiting ~ Sky (http://www.skynews.com.au/story.asp?id=148328)
Kate is so obviously playing both sides... frown or say she is upset by the paps in front of Wills or when life doesn not go EXACTLY perfect like she expects... and smile and enjoy the paps when alone!
SO FAKE! At least that is what she seems to me... :thumbsdown:
^
me too. :thumbsup: :gaah:
she's a peice of work that's for sure
I'm over this saga, how about the press report on the WAR or something other than Kate? srsly anything else will do.
well this is sort of the point Kate's lawyers were trying to make...they too think there's been too much in the press about Kate :teehee:
There is a poll about if you think KM is right for Wills (on the right hand side).... we need to VOTE!!!

Eh!? You're just competing for Sky News Australia viewers....
he-he! you can keep voting over and over again :lmao: Sucker Hello! :duel:
I voted, but she's like winning with 73% to 23% wtf?????? :gaah: :gaah:
excusy for this wombat( or any other aussie on here) but except for you, those aussie voters are CRAZY....73% think she is right for him? :gaah:
and you can't vote more than once and this is stupid.
YOu can vote more than once..I have been :devil: ..oops :o ...I mean :blush: ..why would you bother :unsure: :mellow:
she made her friends vote in shifts :devil:
:laugh: I doubt it.......afterall....few plp know about kate middleton....unless you belong 2 a royal forum & constantly bombarded with these articles...you would not have any negative perception about her :shrug:
sorry but there were no emoticons to express the heart attack i had when i saw the poll results!
Kate has received no criticism from the press even though she couldn't get off her butt and get a job. Even though all she did was shop and party for many, many months. The press is obviously self-interested. They want to create a new Diana, a new people's princess even though Kate has done nothing to deserve such praise.
Diana worked tirelessly for 16 years on behalf of the sick and the dying and she showed this interest in caring for people before she married PC. Kate has shown no such qualities but apparently most people are going to be brainwashed into believing that a woman who has accomplished nothing will suddenly become some kind of caretaker of the people. It might work for a little while but not in the long run.
I was just reading the 2 articles telegraph written about prince william anger @ the pappi.....its funny how the 2 stories qouted being ad neasua where from the (DM & Sun) who published the slightly negative headlines about kate getting police escort 2 her part-time job....&...out of a club within the same day :rolleyes: I highly doubt prince Charles lawyers will assist Middleton whining...let along help them with their useless persue of a so-called "
three-pronged" attack over persistent harassment by photographers" ;)
instead of wasting his anger on the media....maybe william should advice kate 2 exercise the
down to earth intelligent quality the media keep attributing 2 her....by getting a real job....putting her lawyers 2 better use....maybe hiring a bodyguard against the 3 pappi that follow her....cus i don't see coordinated camera men chasing her around....if so...i'll appreciate pictures :fool:
QuoteThe driving force behind the action is Prince William, 24, who describes the behaviour of the paparazzi as "utter madness", particularly as it comes on the eve of the inquest into his mother's death, which opens tomorrow.
what does diana's inquest have 2 do with kate middleton complaint about the media? Can these morons who are the media source atlease get their stories right...it sounds more like the typical nonsense of attaching everything Diana into William's gf .
It has to do with how Wills feels about someone he loves being followed by paparazzi. Obviously he hates it, and possibly he very much dislikes Kate's car being followed by paps. Wills may have some deep issues about paps following on motorcycles and in cars, and he may be very vigilent about that. :shrug:
he might have issues.....but having some real prespective doesn't hurt....for instance....do not whine about the papparazi following you or your gf around...then within the same day go 2 one of the most notorious club in london....where papparazzi are all over the area.....with your mega-wat insane looking smile (insert kate here)......otherwise you come across as immature dimwitted hypocrate :shrug:
I agree Hippi :thumbsup:
so what's your thought on PR Midds lawyer plan?
I'm thinking if she doesn't act almighty the next day a warden hands out a ticket...or something doesn't go her way....the pappi will not have much 'juicy' pics 2 sell...hence go back 2 your usual boring way :shrug:
I think the press are trying to make Kate Middleton bigger than what she really is. I've yet to see any photographers on a motor bike following her car. We rarely ever get pics of Kate's destination. Maybe the paps will stop taking photo's of her. Maybe they'll also stop writing these engagement stories. Since Kate wants to be left alone and all.
QuoteThe Prince held discussions with Miss Middleton's millionaire father, Michael, over publication of snatched photographs of her on a London bus
I've always found that supposide complaint a little weird. I mean she was on the bus in a public place. I think Kate got mad because she didn't want to be photographed on a bus...with everyday people.

he might have issues.....but having some real prespective doesn't hurt....for instance....do not whine about the papparazi following you or your gf around...then within the same day go 2 one of the most notorious club in london....where papparazzi are all over the area.....with your mega-wat insane looking smile (insert kate here)......otherwise you come across as immature dimwitted hypocrate :shrug:
They probably had reservations there because of Kate's birthday. No one's getting in between K&W and their good time. no no no :baby:

I disagree. I think they didn't like Kate being compared to Diana. I forget how the press compared Kate riding a bus to Diana.
what do you Tami....the Midds didn't like Kate being compared to our Saint-Diana...thus consulted their lawyer over it :blink:

yep.....its like watching an episode of dump & dumper.....Princess Diana might have been 'People's Princess'....but kate is sure 'Press's Princess'....if you wanna be left along....dump William or get with the program :shrug:
Who didn't like Kate being compared to Diana? her parent's? I think it would be inevitable that whomever Harry and Wills date (and of course marry) will be compared to Diana in some way or another. There's no running away from that IMO.
If action by her lawyers mean there are fewer pictures and stories about her then I'm all for that. :nod:
My memory is sketchy. I remember they were comparing Kate to Diana. Please, don't make me look it up. :cry:
The paps have compared Kate to Diana. Only in a good way though (at least from what I've seen).
I don't think it matter whether it was positive or not. For some reason they didn't like it. Did Diana ride a bus before? I'll try to look it up. It would be great if someone else did it tho. :whine:
The initial complaint regarding the bus was about the fact that the Middletons perceived it to be intrusive and not newsworthy and therefore the paps should not have taken the picture.
Basically I say....they were at least 20 mtrs away from Kate..not endangering her...on public property...there's no substance to that complaint. That's why more didn't happen with it.
They only compared Di/Kate thing as Di used to travel on public transport as well...rarely according to some..but nonetheless..I think Kate does it rarely as well..maybe that's the only fact they can compare the 2 on? :shrug:
Thanks Wombs. To be continued... :kate: I can't talk about this anymore.
:unsure:
tami isn't alone here......we are all tired of these stupid stories
What did I say? :unsure:
not your fault wombat....we had an overdose of the Midds.....guess january slow royal news day is taking a tole on us :shrug:
why is willy angry that his girlfriend is being harrassed when she is quite clearly loving every second of the harrassment. in the photos from the sun when she was getting into car she actually looked high. i wonder if willy ever sees pictures of her smiling happily at papparazzi alongside quotes from palace people that there is a limit as to how much kate can take and that the situation has become unbearable for her?
i hope the lawsuit filed by kate's lawyers goes to court. the sued people can defend themselves by showing pictures of kate grinning at them, supposedly distressed. then everyone can see, including willy what a fake she is.
Kate politely deals with the photographers - there is no evidence to prove she loves every second of the harrassment. Why can't you take Prince William's word for it ? If he says his girl is being harrassed then I accept it...
but you have seen the pictures taken of kate escorted by police; smiling all the time, she absolutely seems to be enjoying it. if she is distressed by it all she could try acting like it
Though I agree some photogs do step way out of the line, some of Kate's pics just don't add up. If she really felt harrassed, it would show. She just keeps smiling insanely. That is not the picture of a woman harrassed. Although some photos do show her irritated, still it would have been consistent. That's the problem IMO. She is inconsistent about everything. :shrug:
She is smiling through the trauma...why should she look distressed ? Pictures of her weeping will only make more money.... :shrug:
she does not have to cry to show her unhappiness with press attention; a simple non-smiling face would do. or she could hide her face like she was doing when she was pictured getting a parking ticket.i don't think it is trauma for her.
Are you trying to say grace under pressure? I think not. There is a look of "grace under pressure" and IMO that isn't it.
Kate loves the press attention, they have declared her a saint and fashion icon. She is lapping it up and when the attention is favorable she loves it. But how dare they show her Preciousness getting a parking ticket. The girl is such a little phony.
imo william and kate arent stupid enough to think that kate will ever actually have peace with the photographers.
i think they keep complaining so as to keep the papparazzi at the greatest distance possible. to me, it seems as though theyre trying to prevent the situation from getting as bad as it once was with diana. :shrug:
to be realistic though, its going to happen eventually. it seems as if theyre just trying to prolong the distance as much as possible. ;)
while shes been dealing with the mild intrusion fairly well, i dont think she deals with it increasing as it has been well.. thus the police escort the other day. she seems to be struggling with the growing interest.

i agree. in this respect, she has done a fair job of handling it so far. :)
Complaining about paps will only make them want more. Although I understand them wanting to prolong the distance as much as possible, it won't work. They've been prolonging it for years now. Maybe she's stunned by the attention she's generating but seriously? She's been in his life long enough for her to understand how his world works. :shrug:
heres what i think the paps should do....totally leave her alone...no pics for weeks...it will just make her nuts (or more so...)....give her a good dose of reality....like okay you dont want any pics fine we will fine better things/plp to take pics of...that would drive km and mummy crazy......no more stories of how "stunning", how "perfect" and yada, yada, yada.....then pw will have time away from her to realize what a spoiled little brat she really is...drama queen....poor little km wont know what to do w/o her little "fan club"......membership 3 paps..... :rolleyes:

sorry but there were no emoticons to express the heart attack i had when i saw the poll results!
:teehee:
Paps took pics of Chelsy in class at Cape Town university, which is far more intrusive and I don't see Chelsy or her parents,lawyers or whatever complaining on Chelsy's behalf.
Chelsy's parents did get lawyers to complain about the paparazzi following her. They would bob and weave through lanes following her to school and come on campus to takes pictures. However, I think they were justified in doing that. :thumbsup:
what gets me is momma midd's was photographed with her walking down the street in November i think didn't have a problem with it then both smiling having a good time. So what's the problem now, miss perfect got caught with her picture taken when she got wrote up for a ticket, now it's time to have her lawyers and spokesperson to calm everything down and have her perfect again.
Or the number of paps that have been following Kate have increased, and she doesn't like the increase in numbers and neither does Wills.
So most of this isn't true either the way the papers like to push out these flippen story's about kate :blink:
ummm....when did Kate get a spokes person?? :mobile:
Who knows but supposedly she has one
I am also tired of the stories. I still think Kate Middleton is very ambitious but another part of me sympathizes with her. Having photographers shoving cameras in your face can be very uncomfortable. I am not a celebrity but I had a little taste of being hounded by the media. The episode was very quick yet scary. When I was fifteen years old I saved a little boy from drowning in a swimming pool. The ambulance came but as soon as he was taken to hospital, around ten members of the media were gathered on the front steps of my house. I remember a cameraman standing in the driveway, it was so weird. The next day when I was leaving for school there were three reporters waiting for me to get the story in my own words. I have no idea why that happened, I guess they had no other worthy news to work on that day. What I'm saying is that it was bloody uncomfortable to have microphones and cameras pointing at me when I was trying to go into my house. In Kate Middleton's case, having people following her everywhere... I really don't know whether she's really enjoying it. To me she seems like a chicken with the head cut off. One moment she's smiling, the other, she's not, as if not too sure what to do. Another thing I don't understand is why they want to keep photographing her. We all know what she looks like, what style of clothes she wears. Their curiosity should have diminished. And I don't agree she's being groomed to marry William yet. If she were, she would have a stylist to help her coordinate her outfits properly, which she's not doing. I am glad Prince William didn't propose on New Year's as the press was suggesting. Lady Diana Spencer had way more coverage because she had way more charisma and beauty than Kate.

Thanks Pinkdiamond. Very interesting video. I noticed they didn't show any shots of KM coming out of her apartment or on her way to work. Maybe they decided to back off on that kind of stuff under the circumstances?
That's a bunch of crap :thumbsdown: :brainwashed: the media is just brain dead
Very cool video!! Thanks for getting it! I was trying to read her lips--the whole time. I couldn't get very much!!!

Saving a life should have been great!!!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Curiosity won't be diminished until he dumps her.Even ıf she gets annoyed sometimes she knews that more photo,policeman,story,chase strengthen the expectancies,make more people to accept her as theır future queen and also make pressure on william .because of that she performs unpredictable girl,react differntly every time,make people to wonder what's coming up and keep the curıosıty fresh.

ah how often does prince William actually speaks to the press????? most of the press crap is hear say. We don't actually now what William supposedly have said let alone Kate all we see is what the papers print which has been pointed out several times that most of it isn't true anyways.

Life in front of the lens ~ Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/leaders/story/0,,1984768,00.html)
QuoteAnyone closely associated with the royal family must expect to fascinate the media, all the more so when the association is romantic and with a likely king. But the present explosion of interest in the relationship between Prince William and Kate Middleton, filling many pages of many newspapers last week, is leading some photographers who follow the couple to behave in a disturbing way.
guardian paper makes more sense.....there should be a palance b/w freedom of the press & harrassing s/o cus she's dating a famous prince.
life in front of the lens (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,1984981,00.html)
QuoteMs Middleton, who remains a private citizen with a job and a flat in London, has had to put up with scrutiny of her life since her relationship with Prince William became public three years ago. She can hardly expect otherwise, but that should not open all aspects of her existence to a free-for-all. Chasing her to work in blacked-out vans and on motorbikes, the scrum of photographers surrounding her has reached such unpleasant proportions that at times the police have been called out to manage it. Last week that created the absurd situation where newspapers ran stories about her safety - and used snatched images to illustrate them
All because of one lame ticket to start these complaints
Don't know if this Video has been posted but here it is
Getting the royal treatment (http://video.msn.com/v/us/msnbc.htm?f=00&g=03715eeb-9a41-4375-b9ed-137bd4186538&p=Source_Nightly%20News&t=c24&rf=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16496595/&fg=)
the public just can't get enough of Kate what a joke :teehee: :teehee:
:brainwashed: $40,000 for a picture of Kate? :brainwashed: :faint:
that's exactly what I thought Lila again outrageous!!!! Wonder how much she'll see when she's no long the g/f of the prince. All this hype over some g/f what a nightmare
so, i can go take a pic of km and not work for this whole year? :woo: NOT! :rolleyes:
She would sick her team on ya lola, don't mess with kate ...her spokeperson will have to talk for her if you did....plus she doesn't need our help on having more coverage the media does enough of it on there own. LOL
:teehee:
New photos of her... she arrives at her home.. not with guards.. :shrug:
http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/search?p=kate+middleton&c=news_photos
dang if looks could kill them photographers would drop like fly's
I was waiting for photos. :teehee: Thank you karla. :flowers:
What happened to her entourage? :mellow: Boots. Her birthday is coming up, Happy Birthday Kate. :flowers: Do try not to buy more boots please. :)
you can click any photos. enlarge..
let look at her finger can see ring?????
Yep. The one on her right ring finger is a new one to me. The ring on her left hand is on the third finger. :shrug:
That's her right hand karla freak me out....lol
well She look not happy... :shrug:
Now that's what I call an unhappy look. So she wasn't particularly pleased with having her pic taken... that's the normal reaction, no? ???
What's a normal reaction for Kate and the media????
LOL. No, I meant if she really was upset by the intrusion then her reaction today was the normal one. Certainly not the reaction she had coming out of Boujis where she was smiling. :rolleyes: :teehee:
it's would show good forum if she was smiling since she's all over the news about how upset she is
Okay so that wasn't exactly right. There are different kinds of smiles one can do. There's the polite smile one can give the paps when they're really annoying. The genuine smile when they are being polite, this one I think will be done less frequently :teehee: and then there's the insane smile for when.. :unsure: you're :hmm: happy?
I understand...lol just saying she would look to good if she didn't have these faces that she's has today...lol
I agree. I was just clarifying my previous statement. :teehee:
Yeah people can misunderstand what one writes about kate, expecially the newspapers..lol
What? No security to protect the future queen from those evil paps? I think it's clear they went overboard with it especially when there were no complaints until she was photographed in an unflattering light in that mini, mini skirt getting into her car after receiving her ticket after, at first, arguing about it instead of just taking the ticket and going on her way. She didn't expect all the criticism. She's not used to that.
She was then all smiles that night out with pw until 3am and the idea of poor, hunted Kate needing two vans full of cops to protect her when she could have stayed home did not set well.
Btw, the dress and coat she was wearing, no matter how mismatched, is something she should be wearing to work. She has really never known how to dress for work or a job interview.
I kinda like her outfit, it's sort of the Kate uniform now, it has grown on me. I feel a bit sad for her(CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!) looking at those photos, she looks so sad, IF William does not pop the question, she might have a nervous breakdown. She should start CRYING IN PUBLIC, That might help put that ring on her finger by tommorrow. I would feel bad for her if she cried, I'd welcome an engagement MAYBE after a few shed tears.
I'm having a weak moment of sadness for Kate, it will clear soon.
I don't know where i should put in the william news or here..
Report: Prince william Plans 'Attack' on Photographers Hounding Girlfriend..
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,242264,00.html
(http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/signs079.gif) I'll take care of it for you karla more :whine: belongs here (http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/chores037.gif) thanx for the info though. :hug: :flowers:
It emphasizes that she's entitled to protection, as a human right, like any "member of the public". A little reassurance.
..and just to balance out being so mean lately, happy birthday Kate! : :bday:
Prince william's girlfriend, the new Diana?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070108/wl_uk_afp/britainroyalsdiana_070108131720
Modified because I posted at the same article at the exact same time as karla.
I don't like how this article implies that the 10 officers were there for her protection and completely neglects to mention that William was also there (so the protection was for both of them, not just her).
Also, comparing what she is experiencing to Diana and implying that her life is under threat...I don't think what kate is going through even compares - although I am concerned that the hounding has increased rapidly the past few months.
I don't care why he did it, I'm just glad Wills is 'protecting his girlfriend'. Not because it's Kate, but because he cares about something and he's taking action the way a man does! Even if it's just in relation to some paparazzi, he's being decisive and definitive. Way to go Wills!! Woo Hoo!!! :dance: I'm proud of you. :thumbsup:
He could be dating a polar bear ( or a moose) for all I care! I just like hearing that Wills can get passionate about something! ;) :happy:
It's good that Wills is decisive I agree. What is not good in my opinion is Kates constant flip-flopping with the media. One minute happy, no not happy "insane grinning", and the next all frowns. Make up your mind, you cannot have it both ways. It would be one thing if she was just unhappy once in a while and happy at other times. But with the way her smiles and frowns are it seems she is coinciding them with what media she recieves or whome she is seen with. JMHO. :notamused:
what a load of horse puckey "Kate is the new Diana", 10 paps around her regularly and she :whine:? There were hordes around Diana. Okay, she wants no paps (which I strongly doubt), beware of what you wish for!! :devil:
I agree Mapleleaf, while this protection business shows her as a weakling, it illuminates the strength of character and chivalry in Will. You come to her defense a lot more often than not now, but there's a nobility in your wishes, so I'm :happy: with this particular point.

Hmm..Kate's got a big bag? maybe she's going some where for her b-day?
If I didn't know any better I'd say the two broke up by the looks of her with that big bag. Getting clothes and things she may have left at CH. Also judging by her not so happy expression something is going on. I'd expect to see her smiling with all the good press she got for having police protection (only for a day it seems though). The coat Kate is carrying is also the one she wore to the Sandhurst parade. Is it cold in Britain? or perhaps she went to get it dry cleaned. It would be easier if we had photo's of her destination. Most celebs have paps follow them and the fact that the paps don't follow her shows that she really isn't that popular.

It would be good to see him protecting his girlfrien but .The policemen were not for her ,she hasn't get any official guard yet,ıt seems like he provided her to get a number to call when she feel threatened but she uses ıt for different purposes...that's all...How could you know that he is protecting his girlfriend?I thınk he won't make an official,distinctive move to protect her until he proposes her.

I think they will leave her alone but you're going to start seeing negative stories about Kate as the tide turns against her. It's not like she really is all the things the tabloid press has been making her out to be in the first place anyway.
thank god for small favors...I for one will whole heartily support such a legal move....less Kate middleton pics....hence....less drunken...insane grin images...headlining as 'stunning...Diana like'.....yippiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

There's been two so far that I can count that have been obviously prompted from this forum...unfortunatly..I need to write to old Rupert Murdoch...
loool, don't waste your time 2 murdoch...he even ruined the Times...turning it into another taby crap.
I think they do follow us slavishly. No one in the Press had mentioned Kate's alleged unemployment until it was splattered all over here....
I don't really see how she can have a case based on the Human Rights Act...as long as the press are not endangering her security or safety. They do follow her in their cars but as long as they are obeying road safety laws and not endangering her safety or those of other motorists on the road, I don't really see her having much of a case.
They are permitted to take pictures of her in public (and all of the pictures that have appeared of her so far have been taken at public events or in public places). If they were breaking into her home to tap her phone or place hidden cameras or even take pictures of her through the windows of her home that would be different.

UGh..I can't beileve the lawyers thread was merged with this one :gaah:
I find it ironic that The Times sit there and report about how poor Kate's privacy is invaded by the mean old paps and then put a pap picture of Kate on their front page (http://static.sky.com/images/pictures/1486357.gif)...aren't they therefore using a picture taken of Kate whilst she was being hounded? :shrug:
guess hypocratical irony rules in the media....cus no self respecting paper bothers 2 put any royal gf on its cover....all based on manufactured hype.
What is even more frightening to me is that I have the exact same jacket. My 60 year old mother-in-law bought it as a Christmas gift. I wore it yesterday, thinking I looked younger and hipper than usual. I was mistaken.
BOT: Yep, you're right, that does look like a "hounded by the paps" photo. Strange of the Times to pick that one.

I know - I had just finished typing my post and submitted it and an error message occurred. Then I had to find where this thread went and re-type it all over again.
Sometimes I really feel sorry for this girl.
I don't. I know that seems harsh but I really don't.
Look at it this way....Kate is not stupid...she has known Wills and knows how much his life is ruled by press intrusion..she would have known what happened to Diana (unless she had her head in a hole somewhere)...she has been in the spotlight for long enough to know what sort of interest there is in her.....the press have been reporting for the past year about an impending engagement..So IMO Kate and Wills would have to be very naive or very stupid to have thought her appearance at Sandhurst would not have prompted this reaction by the press. It was a given of monumental proportions...Chelsy didn't go to Harry..which adds up with the press line that they're not serious. Kate going means that, to the press, they're so close to getting hitched!
I cannot feel sorry for someone who has gone into and remained in a relationship with her eyes wide open. The only way I could feel sorry for her is if, by some stupidity on her part, never in her wildest dreams did she think that the engagement rumours would get this bad. Seeing as how I don't think she is stupid I can't believe the latter.
Wombat, I agree with you 100% :thumbsup:I couldn't have said it better myself!
Totally Agree Wombat! :thumbsup:
She new from the beginning that dating the FUTURE KING OF ENGLAND not to mention DIANA'S SON would be huge. And if she didn't than she is one stupid girl. Although like Wombs said, she does not seem like a stupid girl. Manipulative ,imo, yes but not stupid. :notamused:
another video report...more of the same

Completely agree, wombat. She's been with William long enough to know what it would be like for the two of them. And I'm sure he would have had several long talks with her to try to warn her and prepare her for the media attention to come.
I think the fact that her parents went to Sandhurst with Kate fueled the fire even more as that implies that the "future in-laws" had an opportunity to meet each other again. And they had an opportunity to attend an event where the Queen was also present...the St. Andrews graduation was different as Kate was also graduating along with William so obviously her parents would be there.
I've pmed this article to those on the pm list....
QuoteAll eyes on Kate ~ The Gazette
One factor, he said, was her presence just before Christmas at a parade at Sandhurst Military Academy marking William's graduation as an army officer. It was the most highly publicized event attended by Middleton, and one that also drew Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and other members of the royal family.
Well duh!?!?! :brainwashed:
Well I think if she thinks its bad now, does she honestly think its going to be better after their married (if they do get married). It will always be like this probably even worse.

Photo Ban Over Kate 'Media Circus'

Charles warns media to stop harassing Kate Middleton
http://www.newkerala.com/news4.php?action=fullnews&id=77083
Exactly, WOW. This is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg and she is sailing on the Titanic.
She would have to have been a bit of an idiot not to understand this was coming her way once things got serious with William. Yes, the St. Andrews agreement was in effect in the beginning, but surely she understood it would not last ... everyone knew this. I do not think she was dumb, however -- I think she merely underestimated the unrelenting nature of the attention and was also at first (and probably even now) flattered by it.
Claiming she wants her privacy and then turning up at Sandhurst in a bright red coat and at places like Boujis ... she can't have it both ways.
(http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/dating.gif) if she's going to continue dating the prince she will have to get use to all the (http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/29.gif) JMO anyways
i dont know what to think of the photo ban :unsure:
its good because it will give her more privacy, but it really didnt seem as bad as diana had it. :shrug:
she really will have to get used to it sometime. that sounds harsh, but unfortunately its true. if she cannot handle it now and they have to get lawyers involved, then i dont see her handling it when things really blow up.
Nighthawk, your absoulutely right!!!......sad but true.....
Celebrities have it just as bad as Kate does and some worse than Kate and you don't see them out telling their lawyers to ban pictures (http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l36/nighthawk02/faces/14.gif) me a river
We'll see if those papers quit publishing her pic, I doubt it.

I agree. She wants everyone to know pw is her boyfriend but then wants to control the press when they become inconvenient for her. I still think this is all about her little traffic violation being caught by the photogs and I think her "security" is there to protect her from the traffic wardens just as much as they are there for the photographers.
Quote from: Tami on January 06, 2007, 12:17:40 AM
I wish someone would take pictures of all the paps that follow her around all day. I wonder how many of them greet her outside her apartment building everyday?
I got my question answered finally. This happened on her birthday:
http://news.sky.com/skynews/video/videoplayer/0,,30100-kate_090107_1100,00.html
And the paper people don't read this forum, yeah don't believe that anymore.
Is there any other video possibly in Quiktime?
i can understand anyone being upset over being bombarded by photographers( although it's rather confusing when she keeps grinning and posing for them) but what did the girl expect? she is after all dating the future king and if she is hotly tipped to be future queen of course there will be plenty of press interest. if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen so she should either leave willy to stop press attention or just shut up about it.she knew what being the girlfriend of prince william involved and the fact that she chose it anyway means that she was ready to accept the consequences. and the consequences are little privacy and papparazzi everywhere. she must accept it. you have no choice but to tough it out kate, there is no way that any rumoured imminent engagement between you and future king is going to go unnoticed by media who naturally will provide anything they can to the public about who their future queen might be; something they have a right to know. it is overreacting to start comparing it to press hounding that led to diana's death - these photographers with kate are not that out of line; chasing a princess with her boyfriend on speeding motorbikes might be way out of line but reporting on what may be their future queen, a national interest, is not.
she knew what she was getting herself into. however unpleasant and uncomfortable it is she has no choice but to put up with it.
i do wonder why it is that the announcement that legal action is being taken against media has done nothing to deter them? perhaps they are taking advantage of what time is left before a legal ban is put into effect, to get all the pictures they can
She has more coverage now then before
unfortunantly... for us and for her... :notamused:
She's giving them what they want. She's cooperating. In 2005, Kate use to just frown and duck her head. :shrug:
Where's those pictures I've been finding none????
I have them on my hard drive. I'll come back and post them for you, NH. I need a nap. I've been up since Monday morning.
After her whining and complaining last week she has even more press coverage than before. Now CBS news is there? They weren't there last week. It is she and pw and their 12 cops that upped the ante. All the world now thinks there's going to be an engagement announcement because of the extra security. Maybe there will be but if it were, this is really the wrong time to be thinking the media will go away. If she couldn't handle the minor press last week, I don't know how she's going to get through this week. :shrug:
I agree. They need a new media advisor at CH. Anyone could have told them that officially asking people to back off would only make them more interested ... my goodness, what did they expect?
I doubt this will have little effect. Especially if somewhat legit papers keep speculating on all the speculation.
William needs to issue an announcement as to his intentions soon IMO -- as in "While Miss Middlebum and I are great friends we have no plans to marry in the near future" or "I don't know why this crazy chick and her mom keep planting engagement rumors, I'm a playa and will be for some time."
oh my god poor girl i didnt know it was like this..
Yep, I agree it doesn't look like much fun, but what did she expect from dating one of the world's most famous men?
It would be one thing if he was an accountant or something and had suddenly been thrust into the spotlight.
But PW has been at the center of the world's attention since the day he was born and will remain there until he is six feet under.
If Kate doesn't want the bad (paps, criticism) that comes with the good (money, power, social status & special treatment) then she should walk away while she is still just a footnote in history. Because it will only get worse.
Having the police come in and protect her the day after she gets the ticket for parking what does she expect, for 3 days now she's gotten more and more it wasn't anything close to what it's like now. Way to go about complaining and having cop escorts.
There's nothing that motivates the press more than someone telling them they can't do something, like take pictures. Even if they don't use them right away, they will save them up for later time. I also think the negative stories about her are coming. They're probably just waiting for her to make one slip-up before they pounce.
What a whiner. Now she's got CNN chasing her. Maybe that's what she wants.
Exactly.. they could be planning a line of attack if they so desire and no legal ban action is gonna stop them. She's only firing them up and stories will leak into other outlets if not through paps.
Bad move, Kate.

Caption: Kate leaves for work on her birthday. A couple of photographers clearly 'invaded her space' somewhat justifying the call for control of photographers.
London, England- 09.01.07
I do wonder if it is that bad all the time, or if they came out in droves today because it was her birthday?
I can't imagine what they think is so exciting about a girl walking from her house to her car... maybe they are hoping she's going to trip and fall :shrug:
??? woah, they were REALLY close, i'd punch one of them.
Well it's the issue of you think we're that bad here you go have some of this. I don't think it was that bad before she start threating the papers and putting banns on them :whine: :whine: :whine: :whine:
There are too many and they are too close. The press need to back off. There is no need to be that close to her. Here is another article I got from sky news.
Why Kate gets harassed:
http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-13560813,00.html
What the tabloids are doing about it:
http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-13560800,00.html
Just incase you haven't seen these.
I've just heard that William has also asked the paprazzi to leave her alone.
Well gee have a police escort of 6 what do expect all of them to back off???? Plus oh there is an engagement right around the cornor ahhh no you have the opposite affect people need to get a grip
nothing justify what the paparazzi are doing.. someone could get hurt or worst..see that video
didn't i say they need to get a grip. Talking about the paparazzi not Kate. Didn't someone say awhile back as well it's not like there in Kate's face???? I know some on asked about photos of all the paparazzi so here we go for the pictures in the face and pictures of the crowd of photographers. Convenient???? Coincidental???? Or just pure luck that these ?'s got answered or is someone actually reading this board???
I watched the news footage this morning and still pics are very very misleading. The female paparazzi who was accused of sticking her camera in Kate's face didn't really do anything of the sort. She was crouched down on the footpath..Kate was walking right towards her ..the pap got up and didn't move out of her way quick enough, instead toook pics as Kate walked past her. She did get close and should have put her camera down....the dude in the blue jacket was about 2 foot away from her..so that angle is deceptive....people have to remember that these are not the regular paparazzi who follow her..these are people who have just started following Kate since seeing her at Sandhurst. These and not the regular paps are the ones who need to stop....one regular UK pap said that he thought things would calm down in the coming days....
Clarence House has issued a statement to the effect that "Prince William just wants the harrassment of her (Kate) to stop".
Well the Sky news story confirms that this frenzy from today has just picked up steam in the last week. There are now foreign journalists and foreign news crews camped outside her flat that weren't there before.
I 'm worried about an announcement coz thıngs has never become so much serious as far as ı know clarence house has never issued a statement about her privacy before.I'm with the impression that Rf isworried about her safetey and ıt doesn't seems a treatment for an ordinary girl :ugh: :ugh: :ugh:?Did sth happened that ı don't know? NObody attacked her or pushed the limitsWhy does ıt become a huge deal?
I'm of the opinion that the sort of stuff we saw today will die down//it was Kate's bday so naturally there was an increased interest in her.
I still don't feel sorry for her on most things. She is 25, smart (supposedly), she has William's support. She's not got her eyes closed on this. She knows what shes's in for...there is only one point that I can feel a littl sympathy for her on...and god help her..it's only going to get worse if she marries Wills..I hope she knows that. :notamused:

QuoteClarence House have stopped short of getting formally involved in any action but meetings have been held at the very highest level over the issue with staff vocal in their defence of William's girlfriend
She's not engaged yet so why would they get involved???? Hello!!!!
QuoteLast week, those rumours went into overdrive after six uniformed police officers were stationed outside her flat in Chelsea, west London.
Although they were ostensibly there to control the growing paparazzi presence, it was seen as significant that Miss Middleton could command such an extensive presence.
Part of the problem, however, is down to the fact that, as an ordinary member of the public, she is not entitled to any official police protection as it is funded by the tax-payer.
Gees wouldn't one assume with the escort that there may be an engagement :wellduh:
QuoteShe currently works four days a week as an assistant accessories buyer in the children's division of high street clothing firm Jigsaw.
Owned by family friends John and Belle Robinson, it is considered a 'safe' career for a future princess, or, dare one say it, Queen.
I bet Jigsaw is loving all the free advertising everytime Kate is mentioned in the papers every story they mention where she works :blink: :hmm: :notamused: first time seeing the paper hesitating on calling her Queen dare one say :windsor1:
I would say Kate complained to William (who perhaps if he doesn't read the tabs might not know the extent of her coverage lately?) who then complained to the CH press office who then complained to the lawyers who then complained to the news outlets who then reported about the complaint.
Maybe Kate is trying to make a big deal out of this in order to force William's hand? That's what the skeptical part of me thinks anyway -- kind of like this will get him to make a decision about her -- claim her and protect her or distance himself and let her go.
I doubt she'd be the kind of girl to ask, "Do you want to marry me or not?" Maybe this is her indirect way of finding out? After all, even after her lawyers complained about the bus thing/her address being printed, the paps continued to follow her. But she didn't keep complaining, in fact, she seemed to have stopped.
Then she made a VERY public appearance, one that surely she knew would have drawn attention to her ... and surprise, surprise the attention stepped up again.
Maybe she's tired of William's indecision?
If a boyfriend made a decision,the girlfriend would be aware of that.I thınk she see that he doesn't want a marriage about few years more and tryıng to ımpıgınıng hım by that way..even ıf she seems lıke gettıng annoyed of the paparazzi's at the same tıme she's usıng them for her own purpose ...Has he got a problem with hıs eyes?Can't see??????
Hasn't the DM helped to fuel this imminently-engaged-to-be-married frenzy? They've pushed a story that now needs pictures to supply to media organizations around the world.
Well there cut off now from what other articles are saying can't buy the paparazzi pictures anymore to go with it bs stories. :drama:
I don't think Kate gets harrassed. Honestly, today is the first time I've seen a good amount papps at her door. Other than that, there are like, 2 poor guys following her. Today was the only day, where it was bad. And the all these papps will stop following her, once they realize that all she does is walk. :notamused:
Middleton harrassed (http://www.channel4.com/player/v2/player.jsp?showId=4197)
So News International won't print pap photos...except their own. Aren't their photogs part of the paparazzi pack? :rolleyes:
Won't the fact that CH "doesn't care" mean something?
Nope
I do feel bad for her if paps were indeed in front of her face like one pic suggests. But why is she still smiling? There was only one of those pictures that I saw where she looked unhappy. The others she looked to be trying to fight back a smile, why? :huh:
And I agree... this was the only time I have seen them that bad... it does seem a bit coincidental that NOW we are seeing pictures of the actual paparazzi. It seems like someone did that on purpose. <_<
Also is there any video out there that is not windows media player? Does anyone know?
She wasn't suffering! She couldn't help but smile at the end when she was getting into her car at all the attention she is getting. For her that means she's ahead in the game of the princess stakes. The media frenzy is centered around speculation that she will be soon engaged to William. Isn't that what she's been sitting on her bum waiting around for since she left SA?
Yep :blink:
yes
Okay saw it... while the paps attention does seem daunting, she has been lliving with getting her picture taken for two years now (maybe not to this degree, but still). And I did also notice that when she was walking down the street it looked as if she was trying not to smile, and when she got into her car she was grinning. Is this the way someone who is harrased would act? I think not. :notamused:
I don't think so either honestly I don't know who she's trying to kid.
^ If she is getting harrassed, why does she smile for them? And I hate it when they compare her to Diana, it just ticks me off!!
All of these articles keep pointing out that as a private citizen, KM is not entitled to police protection.
Not sure how it would solve her problem, but it might help a little -- particularly as her paps are relatively tame compared to others.
OK she doesn't earn enough to pay for her own protection -- and it would probably even stretch her parents to do so.
But why doesn't William (or his father) cough up the dough if he cares for her so much?
If they can find $ 100, 000. to buy a polo pony for William, surely they can find the money to pay for a private guard for Kate?

London, England - 09.01.07 :huh?:
Looking at the video from Channel 4 Diana had a heck of alot more paparazzi chasing after her before she married Charles. Kate again needs to get use to this because it's part of the territory in my honest opinion again if she can't handle the 20 now what's it going to be like if they get married????
Quote from: miryoku_81 on January 09, 2007, 01:22:29 AM
I don't really see how she can have a case based on the Human Rights Act...as long as the press are not endangering her security or safety.
The crowd outside her flat swells by the day. The cameras are right in her face. They lean over her car. They use flash photohraphy too when she is driving away. She could have an accident. It is intrusive. I think the Human Rights Act could be invoked.
I agree Diana had a lot more. Kate, from what I've seen, hasn't had this huge amount of paps outside of her house. The media intreast has increased and both William and Kate had a hand in it. The media really went into a frenzy when kate was photographed with those police officers (not the one who gave her a ticket lol).

It will be easier when she is married. She won't be stumbling around outside a flat and trying to dry. It will be Palace security and chauffeurs.
(sorry about double posting. It won't happen again.)
Very true Fawbert. The papps need to back off or at least keep their distince from Kate and her family....
Trying to dry ? Oops I meant to say trying to drive her car. Blame the flow of red wine...
^ LOL!
I think it is actually very insane that they are hounding her like that. I think i gave her an ounce of respect back when I saw she didn't punch that girls camera and make it a permananet part of her face. Thats what I would do. Now i'm thinking PW should either marry her or let her live her life, because it is srsly not fair.
as the pappi indicated....the interest went overdrive since last wk....thx 2 all those pics/stories of her commanding 12 police officers....not 2 mention maybe they expected William will be emerging from same aprt on her birthday....anyway, i expect things will kewl...unless we get another headlines 2 fuel it even more
QuoteHis aides said yesterday that he wanted "more than anything" for the paparazzi to stop hounding Ms Middleton.
the operative word aught 2 be girlfriend....the dude's aid can't even declare that they are dating....only paper that substituted Ms. Middleton comment with a gf are the DM.

:gaah: It said that will she marry Wills? :gaah:
QuoteTuesday, Kate Middleton turned 25, setting off renewed speculation about a possible royal marriage and the prospect of her as queen of England.
:thumbsdown:
She asked for this big day by complaining and today she got it ten times worse. I think it will die down after this week.
Imo, Dickie Arbiter and Robert Jobson & Co. are just hypocrites for bashing the paparazzi because it is their engagement stories and attempts to railroad William down the aisle at 24/25 that has fueled this frenzy for which the paps now need pictures to go with those fantastic predictions about marriage "sooner rather than later" and "it's not a question of IF but WHEN" they will marry. They are so annoying. :thumbsdown:
i agree...put the blame where it actually lies....not 2 mention the role kate middleton herself played in this stupid press craze!
I don't think it was her complaining that made today's episode with the photogs worse--I think the paparazzi situation outside her house was getting more and more intense. The reason today was particularly bad was because it was her birthday.
It was her birthday but this also followed stepped up security reports due to the speculation, without evidence or facts, of an imminent engagement announcement. Once the cops showed up, that gave the wishful thinking tabloids and royal experts more fuel to their fantasy of a royal wedding between W&K. One event feeds on the other and it goes around in circles.
I think it was gonna be that hectic on her birthday either way.

Yep... and for the record I do feel sorry for her in this instance. But to say she has been harrased, well that is stretching it imo. Because of all the evidance out there, this is the first time this has happened. It does not happen every day... with Diana it DID happen EVERY SINGLE DAY.
in light of the new pics i agree that this is too much and that something needs to be done about it. :thumbsdown:
this has GOT to be putting huge strain on william and kates relationship.
however, its also obvious that it wasnt this bad until she showed up at williams passing out and then was pictured with protection. surely someone would have seen this would happen if she was to be seen with security of any kind? :unsure:
>:( friggin :whine:
lets sum this up
1) she new what she was signing up for when she started dating him (he is public and therefore you are public)
2) she isn't opposed to exposure as evident by her black nightie modelling (exposure is exposure ..no modesty here)
3) moved to town, got a flat where you have to part away from your house (how about somewhere with an attached garage)
4) is dating a :whine: bf (William)
give me a break ...if they are photogs they carry cameras not hand grenades. step off you high horse and stop with the "I just want to be let alone to date the Prince " crap
It would seem that they are as big a titi baby's as other members of the royal family ...only km is startin before she ever has a chance to become a royal
one minute she smiles the next she is in the lawyers office crying "POOR ME"
William needs to grow up and get his manhood about him and tell her to suck it up. 20 photogs is nothing compared to what it could be like. She needs to grow up get off the tit and make a life for herself, and if he isnt supportive of that then she needs to send him packin. She has bought into the whole image that has been put before her by the people she is whining about. The clothes ...she has obviously been willing to change her style and work on her image, the way to act...be discreet be very discreet, look like this walk like this, pat your man on the back :rolleyes: please women are more than clothes racks and maybe if she should learn that .
:gaah:
today was different because it was her birthday..she isnt pursued like this everyday :windsor1:
now i am goni to go sit in my corner and wait to be sued for bein interested in what is in the lives of the royals :rolleyes: how dare i have interest how dare i
Wooo hoo, Bluey, welcome back and I do mean welcome back!
You summed it all up for me, now I just wish the stupid press would read your post.
if only they were that smart
if only William had any ..well you know (rhymes with malls)
:lmao: thanks glad to be back
they take pics ..nobody said they could read :lmao:
The Sun's royal photog, Arthur Edwards, speaks to the BBC about Kate. Towards the end he actually acknowledges the denials of an imminent engagement by the RF. It's obvious this frenzy has been whipped up by the tabs to sell papers but it has blown up in their faces with calls to restrict their activities and respect Kate's space.

The crowd outside her flat swells by the day. The cameras are right in her face. They lean over her car. They use flash photohraphy too when she is driving away. She could have an accident. It is intrusive. I think the Human Rights Act could be invoked.
I would feel sorry for Kate because having fifty paps outside your house isn't right...but I can't feel sorry for her because she has brought this all upon herself. Last week she cried wolf about being harassed and now she is...how ironic is that? :notamused:
Had she accepted that paps taking pics of her getting a ticket with the good grace that we hear she has in volumes, then this week I doubt she'd have the likes of CNN etc sitting outside her home.
Dizzy: Her parents are millionaires..what's more important to them???..that holiday in Ibizia..hiring out a luxurious house in Scotland at the cost of £2000 a day or your daughters welfare?
:hissyfit: she is not a young girl
she is a grown woman...stop with the "this pooooooorrrrrr gurllllll" crap
"tryin to forge her own career" :rolleyes: please spare me stop spinning her daily lagging into a career
yes she is more hype than happening but she knew this could happen
All i an say now is
feel free to quote me
"The Queen doesnt need anymore whiners in the family"
It's the year of Kate. I've seen her twice on the local news. :shrug:
My local news is too busy reporting on the wars, silly reporters. :shrug:
Hold on Tami..you're see more of her after this week :gaah:
The fact of the matter is....that Wills and Kate and his stupid advisors should have seen this coming when Wills said: Kate's going to my passing out parade. I mean it's a bit of a given that would mean to the tabs that = an engagement..or at least give them fodder to hint at an engagement..and as we all know..when there'e a sniff of a wedding..papers go flying off the shelves.
My other gripe is that the DM and other media outlets are using the very same paparazzi pictures of Kate that they're bagging to go with their own stories....what's that about? :gaah:
When did u see William say km was goin to his passin out ....better known as her comin out party ...attended by the Queen no less
well...its not like she gate crashed it...w/o an invite
I have no idea what is up with that Wombs... because really without the "new" (that girl walking in different clothes) pictures they're stories would be the exact same crap every time. The only reason they are "new" is because of these pictures... so I seriously doubt this "ban" will work.
Bluey... completely agree... William might as well have gone home, the moment she showed up it was ALL ABOUT Fake Meddleton! :ugh:
Kate is receiving way more news coverage then C&C got the last time they visited NYC. NBC and CBS is getting ready to talk about her again. Oh well. Hopefully this will all die down soon.
So last week when she complained she was getting harassed she hardly rated a mention in the press.. :gaah:
She was led around the ground by Wills bald due advisor JLP. I can not imagine Wills didn't invite her there and she just turned up. He would have arrange with his staff to have someone there meet her and seat her...I also find it difficult to beleive that no one at Clarence House thought "Hmmm..this could end in tears" ...it was a given..we here, who aren't experienced with media etc all were saying it.... :gaah:
yep.....if he wanted 2 parade her in such a public way...knowing his royal position...then by all means own up 2 your crap....esp. when within few wks she was seen having 6 police officers following her getting a ticket...then in the evening clubbing with 12 more officers....either William is borderline clueless.....or...CH is @ its usual press spin what with the Diana investigation & all.
ps. qs, why can't the Middleton manage 2 do something that's not royally related....ie. even their muscle lawyers come from same firm as Prince Charles :hmm:
The law firm is a major player regarding privacy/press issues. Charles employs them only in instances where he needs specific media related law advie...as do many other celebs/companies etc.
I think William has taken her family on to raise
plus lets put all this in perspective
the Woman he marries will have to be helpful in the managing of the Duchy of Cornwall (135,000+ acres, some 20 tenants) the Windsor Park, garden and other endeavors. William will be doin the "King" thing and his wife will be responsible for being hands on and helpfull...sitting back and patting you man on the back when you think he needs it only goes so far ...and not very far i would say

Those are the same attorneys that were used in 2005. They were recommended by PC, so that's probably why their firm was used again.
