C'mon Kate Middleton no one likes or approves of the 'Paperazzi' but it goes with the territory of being in 'showbiz'. Does Maddona complain,does Catherine Zeta Jones complain',
no they no that there is no such thing as bad publicity
Look on the bright side girl,you are auditioning for a job that millions of young ladies around the world would give their 'eye-teeth' for.

Consort of a reasonably good looking guy who may just get to be King. I hope we will have joined the smarter majority of people of this planet who live in republics long before he gets the Top Job.

Kate my luv' even if he does'nt get the job,you will be able to spend the rest of your life in luxury,an almost unlimited income paid for by us poor British Tax Payers[BTP's],holidays to the most beautiful places in the world once again paid for by the BTP's,Health Care unobtainable by the rest of the UK population I could go on but will finish by saying that all Kate has to do in return is open a new library from time to time and become a patroness of a good cause. (jimlad9 is a very good cause BTW)

Shouldn't hold your breath, jim;-) Anyway, she is not in 'showbiz' she never signed up for that. Madonna and Catherine Zimmer Jones are, and did. But the relentless sick, prying interest of others into the affairs (into the lives) of anyone other than themselves cannot be held against Kate.

jimlad, I have made similar comments many times on Mudcat: I reckon that if I had the nerve to make indiscreet inquiries about your private or financial affairs and had the nerve to broadcast it all over Mudcat or among strangers, I would be in immediate peril of having the shape of my nose altered! So why should Kate Middleton (whoever she is) be afforded less dignity, privacy and respect than other human beings. Her private life is none of my damned business and I have no intention of reading any garbage, which intends to treat it as such. How can anyone have the arrogance to demand less human rights for someone on the spurious grounds that the person is in the public eye?

Well, at this point, she 'should' know what she is in for. If she chooses to go for it, she is warned. Me, I'd run far and fast.

Has anybody considered that she actually may love the guy. And he loves her? Rather a high price to pay for love in my opinion.

Well me old true republican, I see you spout the usual doctrinaire shite about members of the royal family.
You may despise the institution, but to make mean and niggardly remarks about it's members is small minded in the extreme.
They did not ask for the job any more than we asked to share your bigoted comments.

"Who are these people and why should I care? "

Kate is the girlfriend of Prince William, yes? No, she didn't sign on for celebrity status unlike Madonna...but she is involved with a man who is known probably world-wide. I think it's a shame that they can't have any kind of private life, but that's the way of things. If she can't handle it she should get out now.

I doubt very much that thousands of other girls would trade places with her..it seem to me to be an awful life to be contatntly abused, spied on, critized, denegrated and treated like shite because you spend time with someone you care about and who is in the public eye. I find a lot of small mindedness on the subject. The woman has a right to privacy, just like the bloody rest of us.

You are correct that she should get out now. Unless William has a vasectomy before she provides a 'Heir and a spare' we could be stuck with this anachronistic system for many years to come. I believe it is only the Americans who want us lumbered with the royals because it seems cute to them. The US drew the line at George III,we had the chance to do the same with Charles I after the English Revolution.

I bet you people that think that an hereditary royalty is a bad thing, don't know what you'd like to put in it's place.
Just imagine we could have Tony Blair as President of the UK, on the votes of about 13½% of the population.
It isn't broke, so it doesn't need fixing it just needs fine tuning.

Is the privacy you quote the one that has CCTV cameras watching law-abiding citizens like me,and the US communications network such as the listening station near Leeds eavesdropping on telephone communications from the UK ?.

jimlad, your assertion that you "...believe it is only the Americans who want us lumbered with the royals because it seems cute to them" cannot be true. Right? How much input and influence do Americans have in your country's political system? Somebody over there wants the monarchy kept in place- or it would be gone.

Obviously, this is one of those subjects about which some people already know a great deal, but lack the courtesy to inform those who outside the sphere of privelege. I echo Rapaire's sentiments (not an easy thing to do, I might add!) given that there is no framework or bridge offered. Who are these people and what are y'all on about here?

It's not a done deal yet. She may very well change her mind. Me thinks she should consider how Princess Di was given short shrift by some. Then there's GrandMummy Dearest to contend with.

Oh, she's some princeling's girl friend.

We're on George III: the first one declined to be made king, the second actually did fight for his country, and the third, well, he went to Yale or somewhere.

Yep. Went to Yale. He studied locks. No better place for that, IMO.

After the whole Diana Fiasco, you'd think anyone with a brain would not take on The Job. She thought she was in love, and loved....I am still not quite convinced she wasn't killed for daring what she dared. I've been told 'not to feel sorry for her', but I still do. She seemed such a waif in a wasteland. Kate seems a bit better, but still not equipped adequetly. Is anyone?

Granted, NO investigation will ever prove that the crash was not an accident and maybe it was. Run, Kate, run. Even if you love him. If you love him be a Mistress not a Wife. Love gets you nowhere fast in the Royal Family.

Not that I don't have sympathy for them; as Giok says, they were born to it and didn't ask for it anymore than anyone asks for anything in this world. Seeking the 'manor' is one thing (film and rock stars, etc), to the Manor Born is quite another.

Who is this Diana Fiasco? Don't tell they're getting tangled up with Spaniards now!

Seriously though, folks - I don't think even those who "seek the manor" deserve to be subjected to that tabloid treatment. That's just an easy excuse for tolerating the intolerable invasion of other people's privacy.
