Wills used to be much hotter than Harry, but his looks are fading fast. (Looking more like Charles every day-Blech!) Guess it doesn’t much matter, though, if you’re a prince!

This could work out well. It’s great PR, it gives him something to do on his own, and they could still get married in 2010. Clearly he has a lower profile on duty (no press on military bases). Once they’re married, she can accompany him and still stay fairly low-key while acclimating to being a royal wife. The Queen is reputed to have loved her time in Malta as a Naval Officer’s wife.

One large difference with the Yorks: Prince Andrew was in the Royal Navy and deployed on ships, being gone for extended periods. RAF SARF have six bases around England and it is unlikely he would be deployed to Cypress or the Falklands (the other available postings) so they would be together more than Andrew and Fergie.

Also–Kate has a full-time job–she works for her parents’ very successful catalog business, which is a good choice. She has the degree of flexibility she needs given her relationship with William. If they are, as many suspect, “pre-engaged”, then this also gives her time for studying up on all the things she would need to learn as a royal consort. I think this is likely given the evidence we have seen that “The Firm” seems to have learned some hard lessons from Diana and Fergie.

I’m inclined to think this could be a good thing all around, and that we could well have a royal wedding in 2010. I’m disappointed that it won’t be next year, but c’est la vie.

I think this could work out for both William and Kate. Given how healthy his grandmother is it could be 30 years or more before he gets the crown. Doing this with some royal engagements /charity work will keep him occupied and not bored out of his mind. And he could still marry Kate, she just becomes a military wife and follows him to his bases. I don’t think she will suffer like Fergie who I think was a gold digging whore.

… and why is Kate waiting around with no career in sight? She appears to have put her life on hold until he pops ‘the question’. That question may never come … They have broken up before. If they are planning to marry she should be enjoying a real job and life – while she can. Once you marry into that family it’s all over (for the wife).

No this is not a good idea … does anyone remember Prince Andrew did the same job and Sarah (Fergie) barely saw her husband. He was always away at sea and Sarah was at home pregnant and alone most of the time. Kate needs to be worried, as William seems to be repeating his families bad patterns.

He is my favorite. I support him forever. I saw him on a millionaire & celebrity dating site (r i c hk i s s . c om) last week. Is he lonely?

Before Prince Philip married Princess Elizabeth in November 1947 he had a last bachelor fling with a lesbian friend of mine and William Baldwin. They went to the Cote d’Azur that fall even though it was virtually empty of people because of the fear that the Communist Insurgency in Greece would spill over into Italy and France.
They proceeded proceeded to hit every gay bar in Canne, Nice and St. Tropez. They would pour Billy into his bed at the Hotel Carlton after each nights revels. Philip was traveling incognito as Philip Battenburg. Then he returned to England and married Princess Elizabeth. Now it seems he is the only Greek Royal employed as an aristocrat.
As told to me by my dear friend and mentor Marilyn Morrison, now deceased.

Maybe he’s trying to shelter her in some small way from the scrutiny of being a princess? After all his mother wen through, I think he’d be a tad sensitive to that? Who knows, but after all this time…I don’t see her just walking away.

Well James

I am hoping that you are right!! I really like them together and I am pulling for them.You are correct about this mostly being a PR game, after the Chinnock mess (twice stag night and Kate’s back yard) he definitely needs some good PR. My fingers are crossed!

I honestly don’t find him attractive at all.
