The Royalist - How The Palace Split The Prince & Kate

How The Palace Split The Prince & Kate

The reality is none of us truly knows what is going behind the doors of Clarence House or the Middleton family home.

It truly could be, and from reports today, likely is that Prince William has simply fallen out of love with his girlfriend. It is a sad fact that many University romances simply do not last.

However, such is the amount of spin and the depth of the machiavellian ways which have impacted upon the most recent history of the House of Windsor that it is invariable there will be many wondering if this split has been manufactured as a perfect way to save Kate from the increasingly frenetic behaviour of the more unsavoury elements of the press and the perennial claims of an 'imminent engagement'.

As a royal intimate informed the Sunday Times, William may well have met Kate "five years too early".

However, Prince Andrew openly admitted that the Palace has lied to the media for over two decades.

In this instance, there is a get out clause for the royals and the officials who track their every move: as you will have realised, no official statement has been released confirming that William and Kate have split. Therefore, if ever the two did get back together, aides can simply brush off this weekend's storm of intrigue with the official line: "We never comment on Prince William's private life."

However, don't be surprised if in the months or even years ahead, we awake to another surprise headline exclaiming: 'William and Kate: Back Together!'

In the unique and often perplexing world that is the House of Windsor, stranger things have happened.

Just ask the other Kate.....

Too bad the Queen Mother forgot that her husband was a second son and was not the intended King. It was the QM who made sure the rightful King and his wife — also a mistress then wife — were exiled forever.

I come to this site to read articles written like this one. This article is so awsome. So much details, and so beautifully written. My heart goes out to both Kates, but I don't come to this site just to read articles just about Kate. I think I know everything there really is to know about Kate now. What happened to Kate was not very nice. It is a cruel world, and it seems the people who make it, are the ones who are able to be just as cruel as the people around them. The press made this relationship hard enough for Kate and Wills, and considering how much money they made from this relationship, how much money they are making now, how much they might make if and when they get back together again, they could at least call her by the name she wants to be called by ==> Katherine.

Name: Mona	Comment: What a terrific story, Joanne. I've always thought the Duchess of Kent a truly class act. What do we make of Charles, who allows Harry to be so marginalized by the Queen Mother? Both of them, nasty pieces of work IMHO. Wouldn't it be ironic if it were Harry in the end.

when i started my family history research i got a book from our local library about nobility and i was very interested in one story about a plumber who had a young daughter , in those days the plumbing in houses was by way of lead pipes in the loft . at this big country mansion the plumbing went wrong and a plumber was called , him being a widower with a young daughter he had to take her with him as these jobs could take up to a week , while he was there the lord of the manner took a shine to his daughter even though he was in his fifty's . so the plumber agreed he could marry his daughter. not long after the lord died and the girl being only young married again to another lord and from that generations down the line the Queen mother was born directly descended from a plumber's daughter. does anyone else know this story?.

Joanne - I truly loved the article on The Duchess of Kent. She is one of my favourites. During the 60's and 70's and to this day, she had/has excellant dress style and every bit a lady!
I'm sorry that her private life is not good and I hope that she has fulfillment in other areas of her life!

I don't believe that this seperation between William and Kate is a hoax. All you have to do is look at some of the recent newspaper photos of him.. he does not appear to be too too happy. Even the photo of the crowd sitting about on their sky holiday, Kate at one end of the table and he at another....The relationship ran out of gas!! Perhaps William might have suggested to Kate " let's try a split for a while and see what happens", but perhaps that was to soften the hurt she may feel.I think you'll see him date like mad , loads of photo ops for the newspapers

for the informative writing...

It was a well known fact that Princess Marina thought herself superior to the Queen Mother and Princess Alice referring to them as those common Scottish girls to whom her husbands brothers had married. But in reality I think even with a two year delay it will go the same way as Princess Margaret who at the time was third in line to the throne which was the cruelist act a family could do and totally destroyed her life. It is also so sad that the order of birth in that family determines the childs value, no wonder Harry takes vacations and does not spend much leave time with his family. It is high time that the Windors learn exactly what family values are all about.

Another excellent article.

It's good to know the Kents were both so much in love in their youth . Because the 'marriage' and Kate's 'Royalty' have definitely been over now for some time, as you point out.

Yes, the ways of the palace are Machievellian indeed, but it's hard to see how Carole Middleton or any of her children could now overcome the hurt of the leaked disapproval of the Queen over her speech patterns, manners, ancestors, and inexplicable (IMO) habit of chewing gum at a Royal occasion.

All too clearly if Kate married William eventually, her mother would be frozen out of Court circles, and Kate would be made to feel ashamed of her parents.

I agree with a previous poster too that William's gleeful behaviour over the split is hard to equate with a secret lovers' waiting game. Or else he is the world's most wonderful actor!

We will have to wait and see if William waits for Kate quietly and dutifully or if he hits the town and paints it red.

Name: lynn	Comment: What a sad joke if this is a hoax. Not only for the media but the public. I must say, Kate and the Prince do not look too unhappy.

Name: jessica	Comment: If status is that important to the royal family then how come Camilla Parker Bowles is now one of them? Edward lost his crown for marrying Mrs Simpson . margaret was forced to give up her love. so how come Charles was allowed to marry his mistress who is a divorcee with an ex husband still living? Makes one wonder just what really does go on with this family.

Name: Joanne	Comment: Thank you very much, vreston. Yes, it was a heck of a lot of research (and time) that went into this so I really appreciate your support and encouragement. I'm glad you enjoyed it Joanne

Name: vreston	Comment: Oh, that was rich! Joanne - that was terrific research and most informative. Keep up the great work!

Name: Anyacat	Comment: I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that the marriage plans of Edward and Sophie were on more than one occasion sidetracked by the Charles and Diana debacle.

I love articles like these Joanne, as they show exactly what "the firm" is capable of.

It does, however, contradict the "headstrong, knows his own mind, nobody tells him what to do" image of William.

Also, probably would help if he hadn't been posing with women in pubs in the weeks leading up to the break-up and out getting drunk and yelling "I'm free" the very night it broke in the papers.

I've always liked and admired the Duchess of Kent and even more so now as she has taken the reins of her own and is living it on her own terms.
