Someone’s claiming that a ‘kiss & tell’ is coming out about Prince William

Cambridges CBUK visit

You guys requested this, so here goes. Niraj Tanna is a long-time royal-beat photographer. He ended up getting some very strange exclusive photos of then-Kate Middleton when she was a royal girlfriend, and he got some exclusives after her marriage too. It’s been said in some circles that he was – at a time – the official Middleton photographer. I don’t believe that’s the case anymore. Tanna is on Twitter, and he’s been shading for the Middletons for a while. Anyway, he’s made a series of tweets over the past few days suggesting that Prince William probably cheated on Kate during Will’s lads-only vacation.

Tanna is following The Sun’s lead. The Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper has been ripping into William all week with a series of exclusives. The Sun was the first outlet to detail William’s lads-only holiday, and they’ve done follow-ups about William’s “dirty dancing” with several women, not to mention William’s “arrogant antics” being an “insult to the Queen.” I take the “kiss and tell” tweet to mean that one of William’s dancing partners will likely sell her story to one of the British papers. It’s also possible that someone, somewhere will verify that William was not acting like a married man in Verbier.

Of course, it also feels like Tanna is indicating that the whole Middleton family is going to come down hard on William. Which is funny, because it feels like the royal family has washed their hands of Work-Shy Will and now his “real family” (the Middletons) are going to have to put their foot down. Where will Work-Shy turn? Man, Will and Kate’s Paris trip is going to be… awkward.

    OMG!! in one of these pics Waity looks just like a brunette Kellyanne…Now I can’t unsee the resemblance…

    • Mikasa says:

      Why are you doing this? That’s all I can see now :O

    • Cookieramone says:

      Totally kelly Anne !
      Too many cigarettes and sun, not enough omega 3s couple with a desire to look really girly.
      Can’t wait for the scandal, although man I wouldn’t want to upset the firm! Avoid Paris tunnels!

    • LizLemonGotMarried says:

      It’s the way they bring their bottom teeth forward when they smile. It always makes me cringe. Like they are about to unhinge their jaws…

    • JustBitchy says:

      Not a total KellyAnne AKA A Face For Radio Conway

    • lavnbb says:

      Oh dear, poor Kate. KellyAnne Conway is the WORST! I have to say with some moisturizer Kate looks better.

      All Kate has to do is talk about the kids during Paris tour or wanting another baby and the press will be all over that. LOL

      At the time of the Engagement announcement there was a British Church Pastor (I forget his exact title) who said ,He thought the marriage would only last 7Years. I forget why he said it but the press had a meltdown, I think he was made to apologize or was moved to another position.

      Tanna’s loving this. He knows a lot and after years of playing nice with Kate and the Middleton’s, he is now basically banished with legal letters everytime PW gets in a snit.

      • notasugarhere says:

        Pete Broadbent, Bishop of Willesden

      • lavnbb says:

        Oh, thank you for that. I was beginning to wonder if I imagined it. He may have been on to something. I wonder what he spotted in William and Kate that made him say that?

        OK, I googled and just read that he said William and Kate were shallow.

    • lyla says:

      now that you said, i can’t unsee it. rofl.

  2. Lorelai says:

    This trip to Paris is going to be excruciating to watch if she doesn’t cancel it.

    It is unreal that the fan sites are ignoring this story completely and posting “What Will Kate Wear” in Paris type stories.

    You love your girl Kate so much? Way to have her back.

    • LA Elle says:

      I feel like canceling would be the worst move right now. So yes, that is probably what Kate will do …

      • Lady D says:

        Why would it be the worst?

      • TheOtherOne says:

        Not having a united front would confirm that they are not the happy family they pretend to be. Second, his press team is trying to push the story, especially in American media, as no big deal and the Queen understood. If that is true, why cancel the Paris trip?

      • Cee says:

        WHY turn to the US media? It’s not like US’s opinion and money support them. I really don’t understand this tactic.

      • Megan says:

        I suppose they could use today’s incident at the IMF as an excuse to cancel. Security concerns and what not.

      • LA Elle says:

        Lady D: Pretty much what TheOtherOne said. One or both of them canceling at this point would only feed the gossip flames.

    • Tough Cookie says:

      Are they going to Paris after the Irish Guards?

      It’s so hard to keep up with their dizzy world of engagements…and Wee Willy having to work as well!! I hope they get next week off to rest and recuperate.

      • Tourmaline says:

        Yep I think Irish Guards are in the morning and they go to Paris in the afternoon (on Friday)

    • Maria says:

      Will if the body language is anything like that of his parents in Korea in 1992, a few weeks before the separation was announced, it should make for very interesting speculation.

  3. amy says:

    Is it bad that I hope that a story like that will come out?

    • TheOtherOne says:

      Amy – um no because I am hoping so too. We should have a pettiness party as this unfolds/the Paris trip takes place. What should we serve?? I can DJ. Let’s stick with a 90s theme (thanks, Wills). So Aaliyah’s “If Your Girl Only Knew,” Britney’s “Womanizer,” Alanis’ “You Oughta Know,” and No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak.”

      • amy says:

        LOL 🙂 good choice of songs.

      • TheOtherOne says:

        Thank you, thank you. I’m available for private events as well. 😜

      • detritus says:

        I’m here for the 90s petty party.
        Can we also listen to Gettin Jiggy Wit It, Brandy and Monica’s The Boy is Mine, and possible some No Scrubs?

        Your petty part playlist is making my cold gloomy Thursday mint.

      • Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

        Lets add some Fugee’s, Ace of Base, East 17, La Bouche, Debarge, MC Hammer and 2 Unlimited. I know there is a few 80s/90s acts in there.

      • TheOtherOne says:

        Let’s get this party started.

        Come on, ride the train, it’s the petty train
        Come on, ride the train, it’s the petty
        Ride it, woo woo
        Come on, ride the train, it’s the petty train

        C’mon N’ Ride It Quad City DJ’s (TheOtherOne remix)

    • TheOtherOne says:

      Melly – Slay, honey, slay!!!
      Detritus – Your requests have been added. I am also adding Shaggy’s “It Wasn’t Me”

    • Megan says:

      You were hoping someone’s marriage would fall apart and all parties involved, including two small children, would be badly hurt?

      • Odette says:

        A story coming out doesn’t mean the marriage will fall apart. Infidelity among British royalty and aristocrats is pretty common. (At least that’s what all the books I’ve read about “aristocrats” suggest.) And there have even been stories of Kate acknowledging the reality. Their marriage isn’t going anywhere.

      • Indira says:

        Their marriage won’t fall apart because – sorry to say – Kate’ll be forever his doormat and she married him just for the title anyway. It’s not about love in their relationship/marriag.e

      • addie says:

        Middleton’s will N E V E R let go of their golden goose. Perhaps that penny has dropped for Willy.

        I think everyone’s sick of the Cambridge version of perfect marriage and children crap. Time for reality to rear it’s ugly head, for once, with these two.

      • Margie says:

        There are a lot of mean people on this board.

    • Pandy says:

      No, not bad, We are gossips after all ha ha. But I do feel for Kate. Having to suck that humiliation up. Deal with the Devil.

    • Where'sMyTiara says:

      Is it wrong I’m already popping the popcorn? Does this make me a bad person?

      This makes me a bad person, doesn’t it.

      :goes to make the cranberry caramel for the popcorn:

      • lavnbb says:

        I think PW will Ben Affleck her. It will be a series of years of PW rumours of cheating or unhappiness, until something blows BIG and he destroys the marriage enough to get out, even if he looks like a total cad, no matter what Kate might want.

      • Nicole says:

        @Ms Tiara
        I MUST have the cranberry caramel recipe. Please! Petty Party Time!

      • Maria says:

        Heck, count me in!

      • Where'sMyTiara says:

        Here you go @Nicole! http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/cranberry-caramel-sauce-13436

        It’s a bit of an experiment, depending on how fresh your cranberries are. Water amount may need adjustments, b/c the cranberries contain a good deal of water in themselves.

        If you’re feeling wild, toss in some pecans or cashews when you add the sauce to the popcorn.

        You’ll need to stir. A LOT. Lots of stirring.

    • Tourmaline says:

      Yeah me too.
      I have “Kiss and Tell” by Bryan Ferry stuck in my brain now, although he’s a bit too classy for this “upscale ski resort” scandal

  4. ComeOnNow says:

    I mean, do you think that A. This is the first time he’s cheated or even been caught cheating by her and B. That she even cares anymore?

    She didn’t marry him because she thought he’d be faithful.

    • Maria says:

      She probably cares that it makes him look bad,and by extension, her. She has to be wondering if he is tiring of her and at some point, will dump her.it wouldn’t surprise me.

    • Odette says:

      I’m with you. My first thought was: Kate doesn’t care.

      • Loopy says:

        Does ANY woman really not care about their husbands cheating on them? Even if she married for status,it must still sting, at the end of the day she is still a woman with emotions and self esteem,

      • Odette says:

        I read ya, Loopy. But I think Kate is a special case. Honestly, in a way, it almost felt like she was trained not to care — and the training took!

      • Melly says:

        Kate is a women with emotions, but I really don’t think she has any self esteem. She’s been Will’s doormat for so long.

      • Cee says:

        She should. If he tires of her and decides to divorce her, she loses everything. No status as George’s mother. Probably very little money. No HRH.

      • Emily says:

        I think on some level she must care because this is not the olden days, where they are going to stay together no matter what. If the cheating gets to a scandalous enough level at some point he’ll have to get a divorce. So even if they do have an arrangement where cheating is okay, at some point I’d think for HIM to save face he’d have to leave.

      • Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

        Its public so she will care – she will turn a blind eye if he’s discreet but its all over the tabloids and it looks like there will be a kiss and tell in the Sunday papers.

        Their trip to France this weekend will be very awkward. Kate is not very good at hiding her emotions.

    • LA Elle says:

      I’ve always through Will and Kate had an agreement to the Clintons: You can stray, just don’t get caught.

      Unlike Hillary, though, I don’t see Kate standing up to him after this. In that regard, Bill and Hillary had a much more equal relationship.

      • Luca76 says:

        Look BC has his faults but I honestly believe there’s genuine friendship and respect between them. As my family lived close to their home in Westchester I can tell you they spend a lot of time together in a non ceremonial way. I don’t get the sense Will has any great respect or care for Kate.

      • LA Elle says:

        Luca: I agree completely. My comments weren’t meant as a criticism against Bill and Hillary – I think they have one of the more successful marriages in American politics, partially because they are on the same page and there’s a level of mutual respect that is indeed missing in Will and Kate’s relationship.

        But I do think both couples have a similar agreement. The difference is that I think Hillary knows that, in the ways that matter to her, Bill’s loyal, while Kate had to make that deal if she wanted to be with Will.

    • The Original Mia says:

      As long as she retains that HRH, he can have all the dalliances he likes. This embarrasses her, but probably no more than all the other stories about them during the Waity years. He has humiliated her before and she stuck to him like glue. This won’t break them up. Nothing will. Well…if she grows a spine and loves herself more than the title.

    • Luca76 says:

      There’s a difference between knowing and having it out there in the press. Especially since at this point to put it bluntly she’s had the expected heir and spare and is no longer really necessary. If exposed as a cheating louse he might very well just decide to go all out and be even more blatant about his behavior.

      • TheOtherOne says:

        Agreed. I mean it’s sad to say but as Luca76, she did her “job” and is no longer necessary.

      • Lorelai says:

        And knowing your kids are going to read all about it someday.

        That’s why this time is different, IMO.

      • Christin says:

        This is playing out at roughly the same timeline as Diana/Charles (facade starts crumbling after second child).

    • Harla Jodet says:

      I don’t think she cares too much, she was probably too busy showing Mummy all the new clothes and jewels Charles bought her for the Paris trip to even notice.

      • vava says:

        Sad, but possibly true.

      • wolfpup says:

        This is the time she becomes the “Prickly Princess”. (I believe this is the name a few courtiers gave her). She is not without power. Imagine if she went girl-on-girl. No offence, to y’all, but she is not without!

        In the history, she has always been obsessed with Wills giving her real heartbreak a context. I am sensing another Diana story. What will her mother counsel her to do?

    • addie says:

      Nah, she cares about how it affects her. That’s all. Her. Her. Her.

  5. Bridget says:

    Usually when someone does the “kiss and tell” it’s just the random hookup who’s desperate for some attention. We rarely get the real, good details.

    • LAK says:

      Attention seeker or not, Kiss and tell, British style, delivers juicy details including an opinion on how good a lover/ kisser the person is.

      Eg Rebecca Loos’s kiss and tell about Becks.

      http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-255435/Rebecca-tells-all.html

      And this was a tame example of the genre.

      • Blu says:

        Only a sl*t kisses and tells.

      • Loopy says:

        Hey LAK didn’t Rebecca Loos also give a televised interview,I had always wanted to watch then, never found it on YouTube,i think the Beckhams had it yanked off.

      • Amelia says:

        No – only someone desperate for attention and some meagre promise of a career ‘boost’ kisses and tells.
        The number of people someone has slept with has no bearing on their character.

      • LAK says:

        Blu: i disapprove of calling people sluts, BUT i agree that kiss and tell people are despicable.

        Loopy: yes, she gave an tv interview. Google tells me that she gave interview to sky’s Kay Burley and Becks tried to stop the interview. From memory, Rebecca showed Kay text messages that she claimed were from Becks and proved the sexting part of the relationship, if nothing else.

      • Sixer says:

        If there is a kiss and tell it’s going to be the most excruciating thing EVER. I’m with LAK. Well, I suppose we were due a new #tampongate or #toesuckinggate.

      • LAK says:

        Sixer: considering his dance moves, i dread to think what might be revealed.

      • Sixer says:

        And the most prurient possible take on whatever may have happened. Our tabloids know how to humiliate for the titillation of their readers.

      • Megan says:

        If anyone is kissing and telling it is William because every woman in Verbier just insisted, “I did not have sexual relations with that dancer!”

      • Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

        I think a William kiss and tell story will run something like a bad Mills and Boon story.

        “With his hot, moist breathe on my bosom, he started to unzip my Zara skinny jeans, making my L K Bennet nude wedges trembled in anticipation.

        ‘Oh’ she cried, ‘knight me with your big shiny sword and take me into the skies with your deft co-pilot hero hands’. ‘Don’t worry’ he whispered back ‘I’ve got 5 on it’.”

      • detritus says:

        Betti, ‘deft co-pilot hero hands’. dying.

      • Sixer says:

        LOL!

        We need Liberty to write this in full.

      • LAK says:

        Having a LOL triggering moment from that Mills and boon story.

        When i was 13yrs old, Milks and Boon were all the rage at school. Traded them like playing cards. Unfortunately for our teachers, puberty hit at the same time, so morning chapel was full of sniggering teens when headmistress read any bible passages that contained the words : hill, moon, mountain, sighing, groaning, moist, peaks, hunger, tremble, glistening, shining, dark, enter, valleys, broad etc

        Being sent to detention couldn’t stop the sniggering.

      • Christin says:

        The story needs to include that she (or he — who knows) drooled over his youthful photos years ago. Then again, the model (if it is her they think will talk) is so young she may not remember his handsome teen years.

      • Princess says:

        Megan, your ‘I did not have sexual relations with that dancer’, really made me smile. But hey let’s not be too hard on Wills, who wants to be second in line to the British throne in this present social media crazy world we live in.

    • lavnbb says:

      One kiss and tell would be enough to ruin his image. He’s supposed to be the Golden Prince .

  6. What Was That? says:

    I have noticed in more pictures that her smile is more like a grimace..forced and not a genuine smile from enjoying the company of the people she is privileged to meet …This will only get worse and as photographers captured this more and more I expect her popularity will wane..There will always be some die hard Monarchists but the fact that so quickly ..to use an apt phrase She has turned from poacher to gamekeeper…That she considers herself Royal in the superior sense and seems to have lost any connection to people’s struggles today..though she says the words she doesn’t seem to care..
    William may prove to be the downfall of the Windsors…

    • wolfpup says:

      The Windsor motto seems to be that “a blood royal”, that is, a SunKing, is allowed full access to all the desires of their heart – hasn’t this been the way that QE has been treating him – with his helicopter and everything his itty-bitty heart desires? Hasn’t this been Charles’ story for years in explanation for his mistresses? Imagine having a team behind you, to allow you to do whatever you desire..? I’m not sure why this is considered royal/desirable/or patentable but Britain pays for this misfortune to all, in expense to their poor.

      I do believe that Diana would be on the side of her daughter-in-law. FU, Willy. You have hurt a woman like your mother was hurt! Now go home, and try to pay some kind of respect to your own father.

      • vava says:

        Not so sure Diana would have accepted Kate Middleton as a DIL. But if she did, and that is a big IF, she wouldn’t have sided with the way William is treating his wife.

      • wolfpup says:

        Exactly!

  7. Citresse says:

    Royally screwed 😉

    • original kay says:

      I see what you did there 😉

    • Frida says:

      Wills is probably hoping those “steamy pics” of Harry and Megan on the balcony drop sooner rather than later.

      • Tia says:

        I’m fairly sure ‘man has sex with own girlfriend’ won’t be enough to knock an extramarital off the front pages.

  8. Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

    Oh dear. God this is turning into a bad Monty Python sketch.

    • Harla Jodet says:

      it’s only a flesh wound 🙂

    • JustBitchy says:

      I am “keen” to see how Poor Jason can spin this 😜

    • notasugarhere says:

      “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!”

    • wolfpup says:

      Perhaps in this day and age, we do not expect fidelity in our celebrities – but he has turned the page on his own mother’s heartbreak. He is a dolt. He has disrespected his own mother for a penis-stick. Oh well, Charles is up to all that! Go home to your daddy Wm – and stop pretending that you are a man that he isn’t.

    Is it wrong that i want this to be true to see how the sugars react? Kate will stick with him though anything to be queen. 👸🏼

    • Kitty says:

      Lainey, I have a good feeling William and Kate will never be King and Queen. When you know you know.

      • Where'sMyTiara says:

        I think you may be on to something here. I’ve never heard publications come right out and say this, until this week. Many of us pieced it together over the years from snippets that Wills is unsuitable/David 2.0; the almost losing his wings in the RAF, 3 times, for skivving off of duties, not doing right by his charities, not stepping up for other official events, etc. etc.

        Today in the Fail though! “By frolicking with blondes and failing in his duty, Prince William could turn the public fatally against the monarchy” – Stephen Glover opinion piece. DAAAAAAANG. Shots. Fired.

        I don’t know much about Glover as a writer – has he been a sugar in the past like Ingrid Seward? Or has he been anti-monarchial in the past?

      • LAK says:

        WhereismyTiara: Glover is a political writer who normally writes about goings on at Westminster and public policy. I can’t remember that he has ever written about Royalty before, so this is serious tongue lashing from the DM.

        The sun drafted in a Spectator columnist for their tongue lashing and it really goes in. Everything from grand, haughty behaviour from both William and Kate, rudeness galore, dimwittedness, insistence on absolute deference from staff, and leaving India less popular than when they arrived. His column talks about changes for the worse in William and what an awful person he has become in private.

        Meanwhile the times are mocking him with a piece called ‘ King Lad? ( ie King of the lads) as well as old school sycophants writing negative op-eds about him.

      • Where'sMyTiara says:

        @LAK Woooooooow. Ok, Glover being a public policy journo raises this to a completely different level. That means more of the Establishment are starting to see his wanker antics with clear eyes. Which is good for the monarchy’s future, but not so good for Prince Bow-To-My-Arrogant-Arse.

        Where would I find this Sun article – title? I could search on the title…

        Times mocking him – daaaaaaayum. It’s all coming down, isn’t it. It occurs to me that if the media don’t push and start unearthing the earlier stuff they’d suppressed, they’re still going to end up with that Nightmare Man-child on the throne. I think they need to push the line that this isn’t a one-off with Wills, this is an old, established pattern of behaviour and take the lid off this crap.

        My feeling is they need to address it NOW, before Liz passes on – because Charles will not step up, b/c of a combo of parental guilt and the same sense of self-aggrandizement that Wills has, which all ends in the fact that Chaz cannot own he failed his son so blatantly. He won’t ever put his son out to pasture, he’s got too much invested in his “wee monarchy” where he cuts his brothers & Anne out completely. So if Wills needs to go, if he’s going to damage the monarchy irreparably by remaining in the succession line, TPTB need to get it in hand sooner rather than later.

        The last time, the Establishment/Grey Men used the media to start this w/ regard to Edward VIII. Is it starting to happen again? Or will this die down and be a one-off?

  17. KiddVicious says:

    I can’t believe Will would be so reckless.

    • LAK says:

      He has never faced consequences of his actions.

      So many articles and rumours and in a few cases evidence of his misbehaviour in all sorts of ways which were either covered up or blame was swiftly shifted to someone else.

      I mean the man took RAF helicopters for joyride to stag dos and Kate’s garden and the RAF used pretzel logic to blame themselves for it!!!!

      This is the first time the papers are holding his feet to the fire and who knows if they’ll stick to it.

      It’s not so much that he is reckless this time, more that the media and the BP/CH haven’t covered it up.

      • KiddVicious says:

        With the many generations of cheating an mistresses, you’d think he’d know how to keep it discreet. Isn’t that in the Royal Handbook? 😀

      • LAK says:

        Right!?!

      • lavnbb says:

        I’ve got my popcorn ready because William is going to only get worst , because he is stubborn. He hates being told what to do and being forced to do something. He does not like doing royal duties IMO and he probably hates being told by the press he CAN’T party like it’s 2007 and single. LOL

    Katie Nichol royal correspondent waded n with Kate will be mortified she won’t be happy that the public will not see her relationship as perfect. Or something on those lines. I actually go along with this having a couple of Capricorn friends, if anything happened to their perfect world of spotless tidy homes, slim physiques with accompanying perfect fashion wear alongside their perfectly groomed husband or partner with no tummy to be seen. I know their little perfect world would be shattered if their partner was drunk holding on to the waist of another female in a smoky den of a night club. It would be bad enough brushing it aside with friends but the media pushing it on to everyone’s table must be heart breaking.
    Although I think Kate is prepared as mummy C will be there to advise.

      Totally agree.

      Was Katie Nichol the one KM called from her hotel room when she was on vacation with William once? Or was that a different insider? I never remember which one it was.

      • Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

        Yep it was Katie Nichol.

      • notasugarhere says:

        Thank you!

      • lavnbb says:

        Yup Katie Nicholl. I can’t recall all the details now because it was so long ago, I vaguely recall a story that KatieN may have called Kate in the room or on a personal phone Kate had on her in the room and was talking to her until the phone call was cut short, like Kate had to hang up. But enough info went to Katie Nicholl to know where Kate and William were on holiday.

        That was the period of ” it’s not a matter of IF, but WHEN he proposes” that the Mail, the Middleton’s were creating in the media.

      • Maria says:

        Katie Nicholl was quoted yesterday as saying Kate would be very unhappy about the ski trip, that Kate does’t like it when Willy goes off with his friends, and that he would get a frosty reception when he came home. She also said that Guy Pelley’s wife is heavily pregnant and would be unhappy over her husband’s antics.

    • lavnbb says:

      Totally agree.

    I doubt this will happen as Will wouldn’t have married Kate if she possessed this sort of drive, but it’s a shame Kate doesn’t have a girl friend to sit her down right now and tell her this is her prime opportunity to get some much-needed leverage in her marriage. Kate should respond to this by upping her events – especially with children, as that seems to go over well with the public – and make herself into Will’s greatest asset. If nothing else, it would probably turn some of the palace folks into needed allies.

    Like I said, it’s a nice fantasy. It still amazes me that these two managed to burn through so much good will in so short a time.

    • Tourmaline says:

      I fear that Kate’s female friends are all enamored of William and love being in his orbit of rich and dim toffs. Same with her family the Middletons, every member of that family down to her brother and sister clearly bask in the glow of being Royal-proximate. Can’t imagine them advocating for Kate to buck the status quo of the marriage.

      My prediction for tomorrow’s public events (the Irish Guards and the Paris trip) is that between the two of them, Kate is going to put on the better show of keeping up appearances. Remember in Malaysia (?) in 2012 after the topless France pictures hit the press, William had a face like thunder at the press while Kate seemed to be keeping him in check and keeping her cool under pressure. But tomorrow should be interesting to say the least.

      • lavnbb says:

        I think they won’t make it to twenty years together. Prince William has a Ben Affleck vibe when he appears with her, he looks so uncomfortable and tortured sometimes. I think he’ll hang in there as long as he can but it won’t go the distance.

    • TheOtherOne says:

      Well Vanity Fair, E!, and Cosmo (to name a few) are reporting that Kate was “less than pleased.” Long time CBers, has she ever expressed public disapproval of Will?

      I hope Kaiser posts about this story tomorrow.

  22. Justme says:

    Some of the comments on here are horrible. I’ve longed said that Will and Kate have their flaws but for the most part they are harmless. In a world with deplorables we need a little levity, a little hairflick to make fun of…But you all are talking about a young family that might be ripped to shreds. True, they’re public figures and deserve the media scrutiny, but I think there’s a point where they stop being people to make fun of and should be seen as human beings. Where is your compassion? And someone at the top of the comments actually said watch out for Paris tunnels… that’s going too far in my opinion. Isn’t this the first time Will will be in Paris since his mom’s death? Sometimes this site and the opinions shared go from bitchy to just plain evil.

    • Sarah says:

      People are just commenting on his behavior and her enabling. It isnt like people are making this up. And they may be harmless but they are both moochers in a country in which people are scared of losing basic services.

    • wolfpup says:

      Justine, you needn’t worry. The prince has a staff (top-notch and very expensive) to mitigate scrutiny. He is able to be nearly perfectly irresponsible. His staff is the compassion you wish. Do you ask yourself why Will does not care for his mother’s precepts? Perhaps, If he loved his mother, in the way that you are asking us to love him, he would not behave, like his father did to his mother, who was heartbroken by a “sun/king’s” unaccountability?

    • MissMarierose says:

      Won’t somebody think of the rich people???

  23. Starlight says:

    By the way it was also Katie Nicholl that had big concerns for Kate always seen to be out shopping with her mum pre engagement and having no girlie girlfriends and if ever there was a hitch in the marriage she would only have her mother. Kate has put her heart and soul Into this relationship, watch this space I think she will put up and shut up and put on a grand show of unity. It will make her either look stoical or a doormat.

    • wolfpup says:

      I hope that she simply enjoys the perks of her bad decision – and finds another lover! Why do we expect a woman to go without while her husband has a smorgasbord?!!

    • msthang says:

      Starlight—- “DOORMAT”

  24. msthang says:

    lavnbb, I doubt they will make it to 10. You know in Kate’s world in her youth in college, you tell yourself with all the perks of marrying into the royals it should be enough to put up with the cheating, but when the reality sets in it sure ain’t as easy as it sounds. It is like when Diana confronted Camilla in the basement at that house party, and said, “Why don’t you leave my husband alone” to which Cammie replied, “the world adores you what’s your problem” there is just one very huge problem for Chutney, the world does not adore her. She is really on an island by herself with Ma Midds, so when Chopper bolts for good, that is gonna be one incredibly lonely existence!!!!!

    • msthang says:

      wolfpup, good luck trying to find someone who keeps his mouth shut.

      • wolfpup says:

        msthang: I am quite sure of one thing – which is that all adults love and will always continue to have sex, no matter what. It’s most simple to be married. I’m fond of marriage because you get it all the time – it’s wonderful intimacy morning, nooners, and night – I digress.

        Adults insist upon sex in their lives, IOHO.

      • wolfpup says:

        An additional question, msthang… Must Kate Middleton be humiliated, being forced to stand with the royal family, when her husband is abstentious? When the entire world knows that she means nothing to blue-bloodiness, that denies her right to expect fidelity and faithfulness, and giving birth, not of herself, yet to another who claims her as his creature?

        Sorry, but WHAT THE HELL? A mother is something that comes out of “HER”, and is my sisters, mothers, and grandmothers; the LOVE our own body, like menstrual blood, and those whom we choose, and all the love that comes from Within Us and shines everywhere,with everything that we truly love. OUR CHOICE!

  25. msthang says:

    wolfpup, I have to agree, but don’t you know Diana’s lover’s promised her to shut up, until they saw it was time to cash in. And that is how you live with infidelities in a high profile marriage, and how long is that good for and in the end it really didn’t work for Diana. British royals are a funny lot, Lord Mountbatten, who was Chuck’s favorite uncle once said, He and his wife Edwina spent the majority of their marriage getting in and out of other people’s beds!!!

    Meh. I always knew in the end it wouldnt be Harry

  27. Starlight says:

    Sounds like this has been blown out of proportion noticed a comment from one o f the models boyfriends to say it was an innocent drink and a dance on a you tube page, Kate’s smiles were relief I would say
