^ Hahaha I know sometimes I feel sorry for her, it seems like she's hanging on to him by her nails when really he looks like he could care less about her.

Not matter if there was another "true" reason for dropping her specially created job, the whole "needing more time to herself" thing when she works 4 days a week maximum isn't going to convince anyone she's up to being Princess or Queen which demand your whole life until the day you die. It's not as if it was a job "unbefitting" to a future Queen either, it just appears that she's hinging more and more on a phantom engagment that may not ever come, since William seems either bored or drunk whenever he's pictured with her.

My sister met her in a club a while ago and got the same impression of her trying way too hard that someone else on this thread did and agrees with the article posted that she loves the attention and freebies whilst putting on a "demure" face in the press. Most of what Chelsy Davy does is no worse than what she does and she gets slaughtered for it every time she goes out for a drink, at least Chelsy does (or did if the breakup is true) have a life outside her romance.

It wouldn't surprise me if it's broken off and out of nowhere a couple of years later he marries some random woman as has happened with a lot of European Royalty in the last few years. The last thing William needs is to marry too young to his first proper girlfriend and have it all go belly up in a few years time.

Still I suppose whatever she does will get criticism from somewhere and you woudn't get me contemplating life in the goldfish bowl for anything.

^ I agree... I don't think he's going to marry her because she just isn't a hard enough worker- period. What is the first things you hear about CPs Maxima, Mary, and Mathilde? How they were working hard in their professions, and even contemplated not marrying their princes because of how they would have to give up all they worked for.

I get the feeling every prince- just like most regular Joes- is looking for a woman who has her own life, and can operate just fine without someone in their life.

Well said, KhaoticKharma.

Kate...I never liked her. She seems so fake.

Yes well said Khaotickharma! I loved the fact that Maxima, Mary, Mathilde, Letizia all had their own lives and profession before they married. It shows that they could handle the work load of being a princess and future queen to a country. I agree to some extent that Kate would be a good consort because I don't think she has a real headstrong personality but on the other hand I don't think she would be a good form of royalty because she has no work ethic. I can't see her working almost everyday of her life for the rest of her life.

Just found this on Teamhighgrove.com

Why be a royal doormat Kate Middleton?
November 13, 2007
From: Herlad Sun

Royal wannabe Kate Middleton has single-handedly booted the women's cause back to the Dark Ages by quitting her job and biding her time until Prince William decides if and when he will pop the question.

Rather than making the most of her precious 20s, this silly girl appears to be putting all her eggs into one unreliable basket and pathetically hanging around until William decides if he wants to marry her.

Is she straight out of a Jane Austen novel?

Last week Kate, 25, ditched her part-time job as an accessories buyer after apparently telling friends she needed more "me time".

How twee. How upper class and self-centred and, more alarmingly, how very 1950-ish.

It sounds to me as if she would not know how to do a decent day's work.

Kate was said to have taken the job with the London clothing store only because William was concerned she was starting to look very much like a WAG.

He had every reason to worry. The university graduate did appear to spend much of her time shopping or on holidays.

What a waste. Here is a young woman in the prime of her life with the world at her feet. She could enter any career where she cared to apply herself and put in some honest toil.

But what is the best she thinks she can achieve?

To land herself a Prince Charming and live happily ever after.

Dream on. She could have been a much-needed breath of fresh air for the British royal family.

I had high hopes for her. She seemed to be strong willed and not prepared to take any nonsense.

But instead, young Kate has become a carbon copy of a Victorian heroine whose life's ambition appears to be little more than to make a good match.

She has even angered palace insiders with her princess preparations.

Kate would have gained a little more respect from the sisterhood had she followed the lead of Chelsy Davy, who is said to have given long-time boyfriend Prince Harry the heave-ho.

It was the right decision. He missed her 22nd birthday party in favour of attending the rugby World Cup final.

Unacceptable - and smart and sassy Chelsy told Harry as much.

Perhaps she was never going to make a good royal bride.

Chelsy was a woman with her own mind.

Ironically, Kate's apparent motive in quitting her day job may just backfire if William thinks he is being pushed into a corner.

What if he doesn't want to marry Kate?

What if he is not ready to make a commitment?

Seems to me that Kate's actions smack of desperation.

What disappoints me is that middle-class Kate is allowing him to dictate the relationship rules.

Will he, or won't he and who cares?

If this young woman had any sense or self-esteem she would have told him what she wanted.

If he had not been prepared to meet her halfway, she would have been able to move on and not look back.

Instead, she seems to be at his every beck and call.

As if to prove the point, she finished her job on Thursday and flew off on yet another holiday on Friday.

The best advice she can take now is to develop the sense of community and responsibility that all good royals have had.

Kate should charge headlong into public service, pick a charity and make it work, like Princess Di and others.

Yup, I agree with that article. Giving her the benefit of the doubt I hope there was more to the quitting the job story than simply "needing me time" for preparing to be a Princess or whatever, when she only works part time at best, but that's not how it's playing out so far. She is starting to look like the upper middle class version of a WAG right now, worse because at least most of them admit they are "preparing to become rich wives" and/or have worked post education in some form.

Who knows what they have or haven't talked over in private but it does send a very desperate signal, and hasn't Wills shot down the idea of getting married much before 30 when all the aides were penciling a marriage in for next year? Hope he follows more of Edward's lead, the most sucessful 1st marriage in this generation was based on dating for 6-7 years.

I don't hate her, and I'm sure she has qualities to recommend her as a hardworking future Princess/Queen that don't get printed in the press, but for someone who has been publically touted as the "best thing that ever happened to William" partly because of her "hardworking, no nonsense middle class ethics", hmm..... what's happened to that? Less of a breath of fresh air, more of a Prince Andrew redux.

Yes interesting that most European Princesses by marriage where those who had lives outside dating a prince, which was not the case with most of the "models" and socialites most of the Princes in question were longterm dating before hand.

So Willy went out clubbing last night without Kate at Mahiki, are things on the rocks? He actually looked happy and smiling for once as he was leaving. I think Kate's days are numbered in this relationship.

Here are a couple of photos from that night.
