Prince William in a whirl with a mystery blonde

February 8, 2008
From: Daily Mail

For a fun-loving prince, it was the perfect combination. Pounding music, flowing cocktails and a delectable blonde dance partner.

This is Prince William in hitherto unseen pictures taken at a party following the wedding of Tom Parker Bowles and Sara Buys.

With his shirt unbuttoned to his chest, William bellows out pop songs being played by the DJ as he twirls his companion around.

The exact identity of the blonde is unknown, but she is understood to be an Australian make-up artist who was 25 at the time of the wedding, held in September 2005 at St Nicholas' Church, Rotherfield Greys, near Henley-on-Thames.

A source at the party said: "She had the time of her life dancing with Prince Charming. Some of the songs they were singing together were very intimate and William clearly loved it when she told him he was a good mover on the dance floor."

At the time, William, now 25, had already started to date his current girlfriend, Kate Middleton.

She, however, was not present at the party - which may go some way to explaining the prince's uninhibited behaviour.
 
I think this girl is quite cute.

Is this a dagger I see before me?

Any girl ever to go within a foot of Prince William has been meticulously dissected by the press, but one former girlfriend has managed to stay beneath the radar. While at St Andrews University, and shortly before he met Kate Middleton, a beautiful brunette, Carley Massy-Birch, had a brief relationship with Wills before he fell for the other, remarkably similar-looking student. "They went out for about six months when William first started at St Andrews," says a friend of the Prince. "It was kept as quiet as possible but it was well known amongst students at the university. I don't think William's set really approved of her."

So how did Massy-Birch - now an actress - not find herself in Middleton's shoes today? "The two of them broke up, but we all remember a scene, a month or so later, when Carley was playing Bianca in a university production of Othello. Kate and William were in the audience, while Carley, as Bianca, finds the famous handkerchief (Othello's gift to Desdemona) and accuses him of being unfaithful. Carley looked straight at Kate and Wills, and delivered the line: 'This is some minx's token, and I must take out the work? There, give it your hobby-horse…' You could cut the atmosphere with a knife."
 
Prince William and Kate Middleton on the rocks - again!

Prince William and Kate Middleton's romance is drifting to an end, according to close friends.

The couple have have met just once since Christmas and the passion on William's side of the relationship is "evaporating", they claim.

Wills and Kate - who are both 25 - split last April after five years together, but three months later they got back together.

At the time royal watchers predicted an engagement announcement some time in 2008, but now friends believe the relationship is virtually over.

They spent Christmas apart - William with the royals at Sandringham while Kate joined her family in Barbados. And although they met up for one night over New Year, William has not returned to London since he began his RAF training in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire on January 4 - and Kate has not travelled to him. He even missed her birthday two weeks ago.

"William has been distancing himself from Kate for a while," said one family friend. "He loves Kate dearly and doesn't want to hurt her.

"They are in touch, but their lives are pulling in different directions. There's a feeling that things have simply run their course."

Kate is now resigned to the end of the relationship and is understood to have become frustrated that it has not moved on since they got back together.

A source said: "It's a sad thing for both of them. William fears he will not find anybody else who loves and cares for him so much. But does he want to spend the rest of his life with her, which means making Kate his Queen? It really is a dilemma for him."

A courtier commented: "Let's just say the relationship has been stronger in the past. An engagement is far from inevitable. One of the real tests will be if Kate attends Peter Phillips' wedding later this year. The rest of The Firm will be there."
 
I've enjoyed reading all the recent news you've been posting Ashcottmanor. Thank you.:flower:
 
You're welcome LaurieAnn, there has been a lot of articles about them as of late and I wasn't sure if I should post them all but as I like to indulge in this topic so much I will share as much as I get.:flower:

Kate is always with Guy, maybe she is trying to make Wills jealous again. Who knows!
 
I would be happy to see him move on to someone more interesting if that is the case...it would be nice to see a shake up....
 
I don't know, Guy Pelly has a serious girlfriend. He wouldn't dirty dance with Kate....
 
^ Do you think they have broken up? I was reading another forum who said that probably these articles are coming out now so that William's skeletons can be revealed before he gets engaged to avoid the articles after marriage.

Articles like that are always going to come out about him because he has slipped up a lot. Interestingly she has not had that scandalous of a dating past or else a lot of would've surfaced by now...which shows that she is a good candidate for princess. Low drama factor so far...except the social climbing articles...
 
I figured this was a little far fetched!

Mario Testino: Kate Middleton Isn't Working for Me

February 12, 2008
From: People Magazine

Contrary to press reports, aspiring photographer Kate Middleton isn't teaming up with Mario Testino.

In January, reports in respected British papers (including The Telegraph) claimed Prince William's girlfriend would begin working in Testino's New York studios in March.

"She's s not! She's not! I don't know where that came from," the photographer told PEOPLE Monday night at a Burberry/Vanity Fair exhibition at London's National Portrait Gallery, which included Testino's famous shots of Princess Diana. "I promise you, she's not."

Despite her run-ins with the paparazzi, Middleton has expressed a keen interested in photography. In November, after quitting her job as an accessories buyer at English fashion chain Jigsaw, the 26-year-old hosted a party to celebrate portrait photographer Alistair Morrison's book Time to Reflect.

Testino – who has also photographed Princes William and Harry several times – didn't completely rule out taking Middleton under his wing.

"Maybe one day," he said, laughing.
