The royals are suppose to be role models in all things.... Many people are NOT going abroad because of the recession .... people are losing their homes....
I don't see where he has worked sooooo hard that he "deserves" a vacation. In his case, he does not have the worries of the regular people and he has oodles of money, so be it a toss up of acting as "a role model", and forgetting that part of his job, or going off on a expensive holiday, taking and paying for the girlfriend, as well as taking the body guards ( whoever pays their wages) he is sure to go on vacation and have a wonderful time...Are there no hills in Scotland, that he could ski on?.. At least keep the money within the UK....

I agree Kate. I have a sense because some adore WIlls he can do no wrong. The royals have been criticized for overspending (Air Miles Andy, Fergie, et al). If Wills were a private citizen with big bucks it wouldn't be a great thing for him to do but but I agree Kate he is supposed to be setting an example (he is a future King).
And what hard work do they do that he and his Gal Pal take all these expensive trips?
And if he keeps ponying up $$$$ for her I think his finances will be threatened an audit and as a result he will finally pop the question to keep the CPAs away.

He has every right to spend any money he makes as an officer in the army/air force. His salary was listed recently, and he could easily afford a vacation. He earns that money, I don't think it is anyone's business how he spends it.

There is nothing wrong with aboyfrind paying for his girlfriend and himself to go on aholiday but if 'A' boyfriend is the future king who lives off the public and pays for his lazy girlfriend and himself to go on excessive holiday heaps of times,there is sth wrong with him..
It is not true that people are angry with him him because he is going on a vacation they can't ....No one expect him to go ot a 3 star hotel...
it's normal for him to be criticized for spending too much money on vacation because he doesn't earn it,taxpayers do it instead of him....He never pays for anything ,he is spending their money...
It doesn't mean he should stay at home 24/7 but he has no right to do it when people loose their job every day...
People pay taxes to fund Royal Family ,not Middleton family...Their money shouldn't be used to please a lazy,fre-loader money....
As to kate, she needs to be shameless to be ok with his by paying for her expenses all the time ...Has she ever blushed in her life?I wonder..
 milena, what public money are you referring to, exactly? Neither William or Harry receives any money from the Civil List, and their living expenses outside of the military bases are paid for by the private income from the Duchy of Cornwall. They don't receive any Grants-In-Aid from parliament or the government either. Their personal expenses are totally covered either by Prince Charles, or by their own salaries they earn from the military. The article said that William would only pay the expenses for himself and Kate. Taxpayer money does pay the salaries of William's Royal Protection Officers, but their salaries and expenses are paid no matter where Wills goes or what he does.  The RPO's don't experience a sudden pay rise just because Wills goes skiing. If they did, their salaries would be astronomical because Wills has gone skiing just about every year of his life, and he's had protection officers with him since he was born. Wills is entitled to do what he likes with his own money on his own time, and if he wants to treat his girlfriend to a skiing holiday, then so be it. He may be entitled to do what he likes,goes on exceesive holidays but it shows how inconsiderate he is...I find it wrong given the financial hardship people go through nowadays... I wanna see him doing sth worthwhile,maybe then I can feel he deserves anything to pamper himself...But given the life he and Kate leads,I do not see why they needs that much holiday...... From what he earns from military?  ?Come on....He doesn't take cheap holidays.... It's not the first trip he pays for her,I just said I found Kate shameless because it's not the first time he pays for her ,it seems more than a romantic gesture.... As to taxpayers money,I thought public pay for their expenses.appearantly I was wrong....Is it a crime to be misinformed about sth? William funding the trip with Charles' or his money doesn't make the situation any different for Kate...She 's still living off him Aand it makes her a lazy,ashameless,fre-loader. |

Thank you Mellow1 for some logic! To all the Daily Mail readers etc. who complain about Will's holidays - maybe if you spent less time complaining and more time working you too would be able to afford to go skiing! William funding the trip with Charles' or his money doesn't make the situation any different for Kate...She 's still living off him Aand it makes her a lazy,ashameless,fre-loader.
No it doesn't. He comes across as a loving boyfriend who wants to treat his long-term girlfriend to a fun holiday. William isn't the first man in the history of the world to pay for his girlfriend to go on holiday and he won't be the last. |

Oh for goodness sake let them go off and enjoy their holiday ... I am on jobseekers allowance £60.50 per week and it does not bother me at all.
They get their nice holiday and we get our nice pictures!
That's the spirit, Angieuk! Why those who didn't respect his mother and now try to disgrace her son can't be fair about a simple ski trip is unreal. When the coal miners were out of a job and half of Northern England was unemployed, freezing and hungry, Diana still took her sons skiing. We really enjoyed the pictures too!! As Jen mentioned, it's all relative. You spend time on charity and you spend time doing what you normally do within reason. |

I'm sorry, but he's going on vacation, not running a ponzy scheme! Good grief! Everyone who still has money is still spending it. And, as was stated before, that is kind of important. Some money does need to be going into the economy. Yes, middle-class and poor people need to be responsible with their money and stop trying to live outside their means, but people who have the means are welcome to spend the dough. How is it inconsiderate to go on holiday? The idea that you should need to "deserve" a holiday is preposterous. If people only got holidays when they deserved them, well... a lot of resorts would go out of business for a start. Often, the people who've worked hardest can't afford the darn vacays anyway.

Honestly could an average military man afford this very pricy trip? And just why is Wills paying for Kate? It's not committing to her. Edited for excessive quoting.

I think he pays for her because she gives him what he wants.... when he wants it. Who says it's all about love??? Maybe he feels guilty because, as far as we know, he has not proposed nor has he said her name PUBLICLY, but she is a sexual partner so he feels he must pay for her...she gives out so he'll replay her by giving her a holiday.
If he feels he needs a holiday, and yes, others who have money are having holidays, but why not keep the money in the UK?? Get your own economy up and running... Ski in Scotland...or any other UK country that has ski hills...
That one photo from Wannabe..where William has his head shoved into his jacket trying to hide, and Kate is looking sternly at the phhotographer, I hope William has gotten over this aversion to the photogs, ignores them and just goes his own way. Rather childish looking when he does that, IMO, of course!!
Do other royal princes from other royals houses act like this? silly

Kate, they're in a relationship. People get into relationships because they want to be together and they like being together. I don't see any logical reasons to make the assumption that Wills and Kate don't love each other. No one is making them be together.  Since they are together, obviously they like it like that. Besides, even after a spectacularly public break up in 2007, Wills got back together with Kate. If he didn't want to be with Kate, he never would've gotten back together with her. And new info: according to the Daily Mail's Rebecca English, Wills and Kate have been on the ski slopes of Three Valleys for the last six days, and they're due to return to the U.K. tomorrow. There are no photos, however, so the article hasn't been proven to be correct yet: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1163597/Why-pilot-Prince-William-allowed-slope-skiing-rest-fellow-students-hard-work.htmlConsidering the fact that Katie Nicholl obviously got it COMPLETELY wrong when she said that Wills and Kate would be on the slopes starting 5 April, I'm taking this Daily Mail article with a pinch of salt. I'll believe it when I see the pics. |

So if what the DM is reporting is true as Rebecca is more credible than Katie, then William and Kate have been on the slopes the past week/s, then he comes back for Rugby match. Is Jecca wedding this month, so that will be additional time off for that? Unless the ski trip is a cover and they really are at Jecca wedding? I find it rather funny that Katie has already reported the ski trip and now Rebecca has come back w/different dates. It really just makes Katie look silly!

^ Good theory Satrine. Although why would they want to hide their attendance at Jecca's wedding? They didn't hide their attendance at the wedding in Austria last year and they actually garnered some good press.

Britt, true but William did not look liked he enjoyed the press snaps in Austria and we did not get any photos of Batian Craig's wedding pics as William was supposed to be there too. They usually give press some type of photo ops when they go skiing, but if this is a private trip then maybe they will not give out pics.

There is sth between them but I doubt it can be called love.Kate loves him ,but loves his title more.. As to William,if he is a man who is in love then I haven't seen it before....IMO,he likes being with her,talking or having fun with her but love takes more than these..It requires passion,loyalty,commitment....I see none of them in Williams eyes and actions... Kate is ok with their current state unless he dumps him.William is ok too because he doesn't have to propose her,he is aware of that Kate has no gall to give him an ultimatom,besides he knows,trusts and has fun with her ...So why would he dump her and be subjected to criticism instead of keeping things this way....IMO,,everything will change when he finds'the one.' |

For all we know other women in Wills' life have not put up with what Kate has. He may not leave her because he gets away with a lot and she doesn't apparently give him ultimatums.
Why on earth would Kate speak to the press? That would be a death sentence to her relationship with Wills and she knows it.
