Buckingham Palace & Clarence House deny reports of Kate having tea with The Queen at Sandringham in her 28th bday

[Serene Grace]

The Kenya story was a rumour, but since he appeared at Tusk Trust with no tan, I don't think he went to Kenya  .

[Nighthawk]

so the Media outlet was High

[Pariah]

Well since stories are being made up........   

William has been married to another woman for some time and they are very happy together.      All Kate is doing is dating a stand in Prince and will come into a rude awaking when she finds out she is no where close to the throne as she had once hoped.   

[Nighthawk]

^^^   love it!!!!! Would be so funny if that was true So many would Fall over due to a heart attack that Great the Kate was dating a Fake.  Sorta would deserve her right

Doesn't James Whittaker say (in the second article) that Kate "is expected" to spend Xmas and Boxing Day in Berkshire? ... Now my question is: are Berkshire and Cornwall identical?
Does it mean that the appearance of the Midds on PC's estate was totally unexpected for them, kind of contrary to "expectations"?
Does it mean they begin to see through the manipulations of the Midds?

To tell the truth this whole affair begins to be humiliating for the RF and especially for HM....

Wow from what those articles say they seem very cold which I already thought but not to the extent where they wouldn't even meet the in laws until years after a marriage. They live a very isolated life and only trust themselves. Not sure why anyone would want to marry into that family, maybe this is why William seems to have so few options in accomplished women. The Lady Natasha types would probably run screaming the other direction.

Although the nice thing about Lady Nat in particular is that her family are already friends with and have been in royal circles a long time. The meeting the in-laws issue wouldn't arise in her case, it's all known ground. Let's not forget the parents on both sides have already encouraged them to be playmates since they were tots.

I have to say:
   It's good that the palace have Donne something about all this circus... someone put the Middleton Family at their place, i believe that anyone in palace (except William) wants Kate there. I believe that maybe she was in, in the past, but the story of uncle Gary put all in ice. we all know that for BDF survive, the woman in William's life has to be clean and special, and Kate is not that woman. 

  But like someone said before, William don't see anything in front him, i believe that he thinks that she is the one, and wants make her his Queen... Maybe he has a plan to make the people like her, because someone of palace said: " he spent the weekend with her... for her birthday" so William is with her... like i said before, the problem here is not William but the Queen, Prince Phillip and prince Charles... if they give their permition to this marriage William, at this time was married with Kate... And maybe we won something for put her in ceremony when he has made Knight, because i don't believe that he could invite her and put her with Camilla and the other royals only because he wants, he needed permition..(but like i said, the scandal of uncle Gary put everything in ice)

IMO it was always obvious the Midds would finally take one step too far, and I think the tennis photographs, at a property owned by PC was that final fatal step.  What they were trying to convey was that though she wasn't at Sandringham, she was staying at a royal estate. It wouldn't surprise me if these photographs appear on Hello cover this coming week.  If the Midds had been allowed to "get away" with these photographs, who knows what might be next. I think BP/CH have watched and waited for a very long time, and certainly given them enough rope.  Given PW's attachment they may even have waited to see if she changed but she didn't.  
Above all it was the Uncle G revelations that IMO have led to this.  The previous year it was the roller disco.
Someone asked about houses on the royal estates.  At Sandringham it is Park Farm, where Diana was born, and Wood Farm. Both are quite substantial houses.  There are probably others.  Its a very very large estate.

Someone wanted to put the Midds back in their place. A couple of months, I thought (to quote Zazu from the Lion King) "If this where the monarchy is heading, count me out. Out of service, out of Africa, I wouldn't be around"

But now I see a lot of positive things happening with PW and PH.  Way to go lads!

[Sue53]

Yes, up and at 'em!  It could be that, at long, the courtiers, advisers, etc, at BP and CH have realised what they are facing with the Middletons. IMO, they have all been at sea with this mob - they had never met a family like them, and couldn't quite understand their motives or how to counteract their various PR stunts.  However, it now looks like BP and CH have got their collective acts together and are now launching impressive responses.  Once BP and CH get into their strides - and they have wonderful media material with PW - the Middletons will be running for the hills!! 

[Queen Bee]

she has been officially Royally lol

[Sue53]

And in times gone by, she would have been languishing in the Tower for a short while!

I don't understand this; why Hola (spanish mags) wrote that The Queen is Kate Middleton biggest supporter?!

That story is old mooncake. It's refering to an article from Nov/Dec Point de Vue (french mag) and is about the ban on paps on private occasions...

Has nothing to do with the recent events... Besides, Hola (spanish Hello) and Point de Vue are not good sources for news...

[AnneB]

Mooncake:  IMO Ihola-Hello-Middletons.  Mia is right Point de Vue used to be a good reliable magazine.  IMO not any more.
