The Saga of Kate, The Police & Media: Please post all stories here....

[Kuei Fei]

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.

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.

[Nighthawk]

"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.

It 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.

DailyMail

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.

[Kuei Fei]

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.

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:

[Kuei Fei]

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.

[hippie_cyndi]

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:

What 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

[brokenxhearts.]

If 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:

[brokenxhearts.]

 ??? 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.

[hippie_cyndi]

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:

[Smartie**]

its 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:

[pinkDiamond]

^ I agree and people like - Linda, manchester have a point. 

[Kuei Fei]

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. 

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.

[Wombat]

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:

At 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:

[Nighthawk]

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:

[Wombat]

Or this could work in her favour and she could get an early proposal so she's protected :shrug:

[hippie_cyndi]

Sun

TEN police officers were called in to protect Prince William's girlfriend Kate Middleton as she left a nightclub.

Miss Middleton was heading home with second in line to the throne William in the early hours of this morning after an evening out in London.

Two police vans arrived and officers formed a cordon to stop photographers getting too close.

:rolleyes:you can leave your comments @ Sun site

[Nighthawk]

Or this could work in her favour and she could get an early proposal so she's protected :shrug:

[Jayne]

 :gaah: :gaah:
Think of all those dangerous neighborhoods or dangerous places that could've used the attention and safety of those six officers yesterday morning or today. But NOOOOOO :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: they are too busy helping Her Royal Laziness to the car. Since everyone knows how "dangerous" those camera flashes can be. (especially if freaking 2 people are taking your picture :gaah:
