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

[Wombat]

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:

Eh!?! These two deserve each other :notamused:

Eh!?! These two deserve each other :notamused:

:thumbsup:  Because I agree with you - not because I like it.

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.)

[Wombat]

Press are getting desperate :thumbsup:

[Miryoku]

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 :(

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.

[Illinois-Steve]

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.

[Wombat]

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:

[Lila the Flirt]

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:

[Miryoku]

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).

[Wombat]

I agree Miry :thumbsup:

[Wombat]

Pre-empting? :blink:  That what all this is :thumbsup:

[Miryoku]

That's a lot of thumbs up today from you, woms.  I feel honoured  :Royal:  :teehee:

[hippie_cyndi]

from today's daily star...

A 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.

[La Cie]

 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) 

[Lila the Flirt]

 :blink: Supporting her? ???

[Blue Velvet]

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.

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. 

[Nighthawk]

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
