Security Beefed Up for Prince Wills' Gal  ~ Guardian

Ten police officers surrounded Prince William's girlfriend Kate Middleton as she left a London nightclub early Friday, signaling increased security following fears for her safety, British media reported

:gaah:

Oh, crap. :gaah:

A ten-police guard for Kate as engagement rumours grow ~ This Is London

It is understood that contingency plans have already been drawn up for her to have a personal protection officer as soon as an engagement is announced.

A 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.

Oh dear..now The Times is in on it :gaah:

Police called to protect royal girlfriend ~ Times

Evidence that long lenses now follow Ms Middleton's every move was shown in recent days when she was photographed receiving a parking ticket when she left her Volkswagen Golf in a temporarily suspended resident's parking bay near her home.

oh but the parking ticket has nothing to do with add security     :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

what a freaking headache  :rolleyes:

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.

[Wombat]

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:

[Nighthawk]

 :ugh: :ugh:

Two years ago Ms Middleton, the daughter of solidly middle-class parents who have never sought publicity, hired the Prince of Wales's lawyers to appeal to newspaper editors for the press to leave her and her family alone.

Evidence that long lenses now follow Ms Middleton's every move was shown in recent days when she was photographed receiving a parking ticket when she left her Volkswagen Golf in a temporarily suspended resident's parking bay near her home.

That's why

something is very strange here that's what i say

Maybe Monday they will announce their engagement :shrug:

[Tami]

CH hasn't spoken up because there is going to be W&K engagement announcement very soon.

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.

but by letting her hire security, it does the opposite, it greatly increases speculation and will probably make the media intrusion escalate.  :unsure:

It will. But at the moent she is not a member of the royal family and therefore not entitled to taxpayer funded protection.

Do you think that by announcing their engagement and ending the speculation, the paparazzi will go away?  It will get worse.

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?:

[Tami]

I'm having fun.  :hiya:

[Wombat]

 :blink:

[Tami]

It's better then doing this>>  :gaah:  :ugh:

[Wombat]

 :lmao:

[Lola]

 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:

[Wombat]

What? You just said conflicting things there Lola :lmao:

[Toujours]

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?

[Nighthawk]

 can't they afford private protection for kate if it's this bad????

[Wombat]

how long will pw be gone as of monday?

He's going to Bovington, Dorset. Same as Harry. Be there during the week and when he's rostered on weekends I suppose :shrug:

[Countessa]

I get the feeling that this lazy, unimpressive woman will be William's wife and he is lazy and unimpressive by her extension.
