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.

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.

Nighthawk · January 04, 2007, 05:20:24 PM

: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

sandy · January 04, 2007, 05:22:36 PM

What does the twit need protection from? Her own stupidity? Dump her William.

Margherita · January 04, 2007, 05:31:28 PM

Surely the police (and my taxes) could be put to more important use than walking Midds to her car.

Royalphile · January 04, 2007, 05:35:25 PM

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

Nighthawk · January 04, 2007, 05:37:12 PM

Wonder who she complained to ???? she now has this protection who's paying for it???? Parking ticket highly doubts police protection????

Toujours · January 04, 2007, 05:38:02 PM

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: <_<

hippie_cyndi · January 04, 2007, 05:38:19 PM

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:

Nighthawk · January 04, 2007, 05:41:01 PM

So she's hired police to protect her from the photographers????

hippie_cyndi · January 04, 2007, 05:43:27 PM

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:

Royalphile · January 04, 2007, 05:47:42 PM

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:

Nighthawk · January 04, 2007, 06:03:36 PM

I would just like to know what she needs to be protected from????

Royalphile · January 04, 2007, 06:04:47 PM

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!

karla64 · January 04, 2007, 06:08:54 PM

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..

Margherita · January 04, 2007, 06:09:28 PM

^I thought she was being protected by a husband and wife team- but had declined formal security officers.

hippie_cyndi · January 04, 2007, 06:11:38 PM

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:

Nighthawk · January 04, 2007, 06:11:56 PM

well hopefully kate's flipping paying the bill would suck it the tax payers are paying for it.

Toujours · January 04, 2007, 06:12:43 PM

i agree, hippie.

Royalphile · January 04, 2007, 06:21:21 PM

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.
