[HMW]

According to Google, Rebecca English of the Newspaper That Shall Not Be Named posted a story 1 hour ago called 'The blonde helping Wills move back with dad, at the age of 26'. The preview says:

After two years as an Army officer, Prince William will soon have to move back in with Charles and Camilla at Clarence House as he ...

and

The prince's decision to move back into Clarence House will encourage speculation that he is keen to put off an engagement to his girlfriend Kate Middleton ...

...but the story has already been taken down. Let's keep an eye on this one, shall we?

i can't stand when the DM does this...... teasers

[aduchess]

Um... doesn't William already live at Clarence House? He's been away with the military but his official residence is still CH. He and Harry share an apartment there. At least that's what I thought.

Typical Wills. He doesn't want to settle down but likes the perks of having an "available" girlfriend. Too late for Ma Medds to warn her daughter not to be too available.

All I could find was this last years Rebbecca English article about their make or break Holiday.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-476126/Kate-Wills-make-break-paradise-trip.html

I still wonder why someone took down that newest article, by English. Maybe it will reappear after being re-written. 

[Lady_In_Waiting]

What, what, what???   HMW did you get to read it? If so can you give us a summery of what it said so we can get an idea. Trust DM to take it down.   For a minute things were looking up in William's world. I though he lived in CH anyway so why is he now moving back in with PC and Camilla?

I'm glad he is putting off an engagement to Kate hopefully time at sea means he as come to his senses.  Funny this after we hear of the palace plans. Me thinks the whole 'knives out for Kate' articles plus the rumours of palace not impress with Kate had some truth to it because now we have plans for William, for next year, and now William keen to put off a wedding. What is going on? I think this says it all William does not want to get married and the palace are going to try and bale him out. So it seems William is sticking to his word about not marrying till he at least reaches 28-30. The plans to train William to be King are conveniently being brought in from next year to bale him out of getting married because he does not want to get married next year. I think next year is not going to be Kate's year. She can hang on for as long as she likes but I think she could lose out in the end. The palace have other ideas for William and William is going along with it as long as it puts off the trip down the aisle for as long as possible.

[serene grace]

Maybe he's not putting it off, maybe there was  NEVER any engagement as far as he is concerned. Maybe he just poured cold water on Kate and the press.
I wonder if sometimes Kate phones home and tells whats going on with them.

[Lady_In_Waiting]

^ Maybe. I agree though I reckon Kate is the reason why there are so many engagement rumours and I reckon she started them in the first place and now William and the palace are reacting to it. The fairytale maybe about to end for Kate maybe not this year but next year will be interesting.

[serene grace]

Well I do recall one year on a holiday to some tropical paradise, that Pippa reportedly told friends that Kate expected William to propose, that was about two or possibly three years ago?

P.S. I wonder who the blonde was in the story?  Could it be Holly? 

[Rasta Watermelon]

Something strange is going on here! 

[Lady_In_Waiting]

Why do I get the feeling we're going to have a lot to talk about by the end of the weekend? I think the press are going to throw a few stones at William and Kate this weekend.

[serene grace]

I agree, this is usually how it starts too! I think some kind of news is coming at the end of the holiday too.

[Lady_In_Waiting]

Well looking at all negative press recently, plus the digs at Kate and now the plans for William next year. If there is any news it is looking less and less likely it'll be an engagement. Because if the press thought that they were about to get engaged they wouldn't be slagging them off like this when they have a wedding to promote. I think a break-up is looking like a more likely outcome then a marriage. I think the drama is really going to start next year though.

[wannabe]

This thread is ousted, because the DM link didn't even last 1 hours time. Although Platell did earn her salary, English was sent back to her desk.   

[Amun]

I posted it in another thread but I think that perhaps the stories about Wills and Kate looking for a possible residence all those months ago might have been more true than everyone realized.  Maybe that's what the articles are hinting at.  Perhaps they had been planning to move in together once he got out of the military but those plans have suddenly changed and he's back at Clarence House.  This just gets more and more interesting.

[Lady_In_Waiting]

I've had a feeling since I saw the pair at Will's RAF graduation that William still didn't want to commit. Now we are getting article suggesting he still doesn't want to commit. We have had constant articles going on about an imminent engagement and how the pair are getting engaged either at Christmas/Easter etc. I think it goes to show that all information regarding the engagement must have been coming from Kate's circle because if William doesn't want to marry he's not going to start off engagement rumours. Now William's side are hitting back because William doesn't want to get married next year and the palace are helping him to put if off for as long as possible. In which case we could end up with William and Kate never getting married but splitting instead.


PS. By the way the article is back I'm posting the link again incase the other doesn't work. It's not what it seems though it still seems that Wills wants to postpone any engagement.

Yup, so let's brace ourselves for another ridiculous Kate the Great "sun shines out her bum" Middleton PR article! Probably something to do with the vacation. He's given her thread and wood, maybe this time he'll give her a Ziplock bag.

[MapleLeaf]

The article is on the Daily Mail website again, I guess they put it back.  I think the article is silly because it's misleading and dishonest.

The article says stuff that we already knew, like it emphasises the fact that Wills is "moving back into Clarence House" well, duh, it's not like Wills ever moved out of CH in the first place! 
Statements like that are deliberately misleading.  Like making a big fat headline out of the whole "blonde" thing, and it turns out she's an assistant that's been in place for a while, and her boyfriend is Charles' former personal chef.  This is what the article says about the blonde:

Formerly Prince Charles's events manager, she was such a trusted member of the team that she would regularly dine with both her boss and Princes William and Harry.
She gave up her post a couple of years ago to move to the Middle East with her boyfriend Gary Robinson, Charles's former personal chef, who was setting up his own restaurant in Dubai.
There, she worked for the upmarket concierge firm Quintessentially, founded by Camilla's nephew Ben Elliot.
The couple have since returned to the UK and she was offered a post in William's new office.

We already know the story about "William's" new office.  The first thing Icky Becky English got wrong is calling it "William's office".  We've already seen the official line in the Telegraph, the new office is for Wills and Harry together.  The men mentioned in this DM article as working for Wills' office are the exact same guys that are mentioned in the article here on the Forum as Wills and Harry's new PR team. I hate it when journalists get stuff totally wrong or twisted, and they print it as fact.

The next thing is what she wrote about engagement.  The exact words were:

The prince's decision to move back into Clarence House will encourage speculation that he is keen to put off an engagement to his girlfriend Kate Middleton for another 12 months or so.
The move is, however, part of a series of seismic changes in the Wales household coinciding with William's decision to leave the military and become a full-time working royal at the beginning of next year.

First she writes "Encourage speculation" then she explains that the move doesn't mean that at all.  But she doesn't say that clearly, she just explains that the move is a part of "seismic changes"  Becky English said all that with no mention of Harry at all, yet one of the guys that she's trying to pass off as working only for Wills has been working on Harry's Sentebale project!
He still works for Sentebale, and according to the Telegraph he will continue to do so.  He is the guy that's actually heading the new PR team for Wills and Harry.  It's a joint team and a joint office, yet Icky Becky completely ignores these actual facts in favour of crappy sensationalism.

Then the silly bovine Becky wrote:

The prince will resume life in the apartment he shares with Harry on the third floor of Clarence House  -  above that of their father and stepmother  -  when he returns from his latest Caribbean holiday with Miss Middleton.

He never even moved out of there in the very first place!!  Why would she even bother to say something so stupid if not for sensationalism?  Rebecca English herself has written articles about Kate visiting Wills at Clarence House.  There was even a stupid article about Kate being allowed to build a gym. (NOT!!)  So if Wills never moved out, how the heck can he move back in?    I wish just once, these journos would choose the actual truth in an article over trying to sex it up somehow to make it more exciting.  But they won't because that's too much like doing the right thing.

[Lady_In_Waiting]

  Good points Maple leaf. When I managed to read the article after they but it back on-line it doesn't really say an awful lot and yes it is misleading. It had me confused. Since when did William move out of CH? He's always been there and it is a fact he shares an appartment there with Harry so what on earth is this woman on. I'm surprised they put it back on line it's that bad.

[aduchess]

mapleleaf,
I share your confusion. I'm glad they put the article back up. But reading the entire thing it still makes absolutely no sense! Ok, PW will get his own office at St James's. That's entirely plausible & I would think a much needed move. The other stuff just leaves me scratching my head. As you said William never moved out of Clarence House to begin with. So how could he move back in? Secondly why would living in Clarence House delay an engagement? CH is a big, luxurious mansion. It's not my little 2 bedroom shoe box. From the looks of it Charles, Camilla, William, Kate, Harry, & Chelsy could all fit there with room to spare. And I seriously doubt that Wills & Harry will continue to share the apartment they have now. Then there was the blonde angle. I'm not a beauty queen myself but neither is the woman in that photo! I know I shouldn't expect more from the DM but even this one left me with 2 or 3 WTF? moments.

If Wills were to get engaged to Kate, I doubt he'd move in or stay at Clarence House, he would be given his own residence to set up housekeeping with Kate. He's in line to be king and I doubt he would be living with her in Clarence House. Charles would "gift" him his own home.  Diana and Charles had Highgrove and also their apartments at Kensington Palace. If Wills were to marry Kate, he'd most likely get a title (Duke of______) and be given a home of his own.  I think he is not ready to commit to her and may never be. He likes the no strings arrangement of her being ready to jump when he calls and put her whole life as revolving around him. Maybe it feeds his ego also.

[MapleLeaf]

Exactly aduchess!

Not to mention the fact that the blonde is a non-issue in the first place.  She and her boyfriend both used to work for Charles, then they moved to Dubai where she worked for Camilla's nephew, now she and her boyfriend are back in the U.K and she works for Wills and Harry's new office. 
And another thing that irritated me about this article, Becky English tried to make it look like Wills is getting a separate office by never even mentioning Harry, when the facts are that Wills and Harry will have the office in St. James Palace together. 

The team she referred to as "William's team" are actually the two guys that are heading up the new PR/Office team for Wills and Harry.  Yet she tried to mislead people by leaving that out, as if Wills has a team but Harry is just left out in the cold, when they have the same team. 

The 'blonde' who works for Wills also works for Harry, Icky Becky conveniently left that out 
That's what I meant by sensationalising and 'sexing' things up.  They can't just report the facts, they always put window dressing on the facts instead of presenting things the way they really are.

You've summed up good points on the matter. (Also Pr. Edward was given Bagshot Park about a year before he married Sophie) I think William is stringing this thing along.
Something is going on.



She sounds stellar!

Thea, who was born in Plymouth and studied French at Birmingham University, can often be seen at William's side on public engagements introducing him to the right people. DM

The prince's decision to move back into Clarence House will encourage speculation that he is keen to put off an engagement to his girlfriend Kate Middleton for another 12 months or so. DM

Oh I can see MaMidds throwing down the newspaper. More waiting for Kateums. 

The move is, however, part of a series of seismic changes in the Wales household coinciding with William's decision to leave the military and become a full-time working royal at the beginning of next year. DM

I wonder what else is coming, will he stay with Kate or dump her again....hmmmmmmmm!   



 

[MapleLeaf]

Rubbish.  Wills can't move back in if he never moved out in the first place.  That's the logic and physics.  You can't go back to a place you haven't left.  And if Wills hasn't left, then the main thrust of the article is defunct and irrelevant.

Wills and Harry are in the military and on active duty.  We've all read the articles, it's obvious that Wills and Harry go back and forth between different barracks or in Wills' case, barracks, different RAF bases, a Naval academy and onboard a ship. 
So Wills is going to bring back the stuff he took with him to those places, because he had to carry personal effects and toiletries etc., to those different places.  Same for Harry.  He also has to have some personal effects and toiletries with him when he stays in the barracks overnight. 

But Clarence House is Wills' and Harry's primary place of residence other than Highgrove, it has been for years, and neither of them ever moved out and took up permanent residence any other place.  It's logistically impossible for Wills to move back in when he never moved out.

Therefore, the article is extremely silly, misleading, and totally irrelevant.  Not to mention Icky Becky totally ignored Harry in the article. 

I guess this is why they refer to this time of year as the Silly Season with regards to the British press.
