Last week, during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, I carefully noted “Duchess Kate and Prince Harry seem especially close. Just sayin’.” Many of you agreed with me, some of you thought I was a horrible monster for even suggesting that Kate and Harry had a friendly, flirtatious and somewhat adorable relationship that may or may not end up in ginger babies. I will say this – I wasn’t the only one who noticed. LOTS of people noticed how giggly and flirty Harry and Kate were together. Even Prince William noticed. And In Touch Weekly claims he was royally pissed (“pissed” in the American vernacular, meaning “angry” – not in the British vernacular, meaning “drunk”).
On June 5, following the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration, Prince William reprimanded his wife for what he thought was “painfully embarrassing” inappropriate behavior between Kate and Harry!
Harry and Kate were particularly cozy during the royal balcony appearance, while William stood formal and rigid in contrast.
“Having Harry there, whome she adores, relaxes her, because he makes jokes as a way to get through the day. She gets the giggles and forgets the world is watching her,” an insider tells Star. “But William told Kate is was flirting and that it wasn’t appropriate.”
Kate didn’t take his complaints sitting down, insisting that he was being “incredibly unfair” – which caused a blowup. “In Kate’s mind, for William to suggest that was was absurb… in the past, Kate would have agreed with William and apologized, but instead she fired right back at him and that took him by surprise.”
Insiders say that Kate’s affections for her brother-in-law are strictly platonic and she was absolutely not flirting with Harry – she was just talking to him as her friend.
Back in May, during a polo match, something similar happened too: “Harry was complaining about how hung over he was, and Kate was saying, ‘Oh you poor darling!’ and making a fuss over him. They were huddling together, whispering, just like they did at the Jubilee.”
Meanwhile, William is at a loss at to why Kate and Harry find life in the spotlight so daunting.
“William has been trained to be King his whole life, so he can’t relate to their feelings. Wills always wanted Kate to be more confident at these big royal events. But now she’s so relaxed that she isn’t mindful of how William views her behavior.”
[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]
Obvious, the whole “Harry + Waity = Ginger Babies” thing is a lot of fun, and people have very strong opinions about it. I tend to think Kate has come too far, and Waity-ed for so long, she’s not going to mess up her gig by boning the Hot Ginger Prince. Maybe she’s tempted, or maybe she just likes to “mother” Harry, which is another dynamic I could see playing out.
Now, do you think William would really be angry with Kate (and Harry, to a lesser degree) because of this? Eh. Sometimes I think William is humorless and dull like his father, but I tend to think that he’s fine with Kate spending time with Harry. I don’t know though… it will be interesting to see if Kate and Harry continue being so flirty and cute together publicly.

BS!
(and I also love her hair)
I also love her hair she must hate wearing those fascinators/fuglators though
Yeah its BS.
Although if this were medieval times it would probably be true….you know the 2nd son trying to usurp the crown by showing off his brothers impotence or even better by siring the heir.
Yeah, I’d personally be thrilled if Kate was finally growing a pair (metaphorically) and standing up for herself, but this story is so obviously fake.
To paraphrase Betty White, a vagina is a better thing to have than balls because a vagina can take a real pounding. Your comment reminded me of Betty’s sentiment.
Back to regularly scheduled programming.
This, like many other things which come from so-called ‘sources’ and ‘insiders’ is so obviously a load of rubbish. People like to create a soap opera with a cast made of those in the spotlight and, if it’s a slow day, s**t-stir.
It’s really stupid- an idea gets tossed out there via photo assumption and the tabs jump on the story like it has actual merit. Waity Katie didn’t spend her life waiting to marry William and become Queen, just so she could throw it away for a quickie with her brother in law.
You took the words right out of my mouth!
Couldn’t have said it better!!
BTW, this is a rehashed lame article – totally baseless and pointless!!!
co-sign.
I agree with the “mothering” thing. It’s easy to be comfortable with your guy’s younger brother because there’s no pressure. Unfortunately doing that in front of a gazillion people, not so much a good idea.
Balding prince willi juxtaposed with sexy full ginger mane harry and kate in between in that last picture….gotta love the media spin. I knew that the more we concentrated on this non-story, it was only a matter of time, before it became a full blame headline. Nice try though.
Waity doesn’t stop laughing, giggling & fidgeting with her hair. She does it during the most inappropriate moments. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s in constant tickings off which explains her nerves whenever she’s talking & being recorded. I thought she would turn out better. She definitely doesn’t seem to notice the world is watching. They are barely seen publically for any length of time, how hard can it be to act properly?
And nobody can blame “media spin” when the photographs and footage is there for all to see. Even my elderly neighbour who’s completely unobservant, had nothing but negative to say about Kate after the jubilee. She’s an embarrassment.
Maybe people, like you and your neighbor, should stop being such judgemental assholes.
…And I suppose you and you negative talking neighbour are such models of excellence …Paragons of Virtue, indeed!!!?
LOL shame on you jack, didn’t you know that criticizing the Second Coming is a TABOO?! You should learn something from the lemmings here: one should always drink the Waity — oops, I meant Catherine — kool-aid and always put their rose-tinted glasses on. One must not say a bad word about the Second Coming.
Jack is simply pointing out the obvious–that Middleton is dull, slightly vapid, and a general disappointment if you compare her to Diana’s natural charisma. One either has it or not. It doesn’t matter if you have pretty long hair, nice clothes, and polite manners. Middleton doesn’t project any kind of personality–all she does is play with her hair.
If I were him, I’d be more embarrassed of her manic, hyena-like grin. Makes her look cray-cray:D
haha! I know what you mean. She also has a glaring stare. That quite a few innocent women by standers have been on the receiving end of!
That manic grin and death stare is beginning to remind me of Tom Cruise.
OMG. You are so right.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Damn you, Spitfire! Now I can’t unsee it!
If you watch video, you see that she switches it on and off like a command, whether someone is talking to her or not.
I just watched one and you’re so right on that. It was almost freaky.
It looks more fake because she doesn’t have a ‘default’ friendly expression to begin with. Those lines around her mouth makes her look bitchy.
This is all total BS imo… If he wasn’t happy with the way Harry and Kate are around each other why would they usually have him living closely with them?
They’ve known each other a long time so of course they’re gonna have a laugh and joke.
P.S Prince Charles is not dull and humourless at all… did you SEE his weather forcast?! lmao
Oh god, I DIED watching the weather forecast! And his DJing!!
OMG i saw it too and was SO impressed! What a delightful sense of humoUr! And it wasn’t a one shot deal, he’s always done this kind of stuff. I saw him on vid another time trying to break dance with some professinal hip hop dancers. SO FUNNY, love it!
This is crap. They look like two people with a shared humor that have known each other a long time.
Truth. ITA. they’re sister and brother in law and he’s a cut up. What should she do – stand there stoic-ly?
Exactly! If she did that then it would be a story too. Kate doesn’t make an effort with in laws, yada yada.
Yes. This 1000 fold.
BS-there are pictures of Kate and Will looking plenty flirty at their friend’s wedding over the weekend.
Harry and Kate look like they share the same jokes and have known each other a long time. I get along the same way with my own sister in law.
I thank Kate for giving us something else to discuss aside from her eyeliner!
I didn’t realize you weren’t supposed to be friends with your BIL.
He’s probably glad to have a female friend that he can be himself with and not have to worry about her trying to “get him”.
She’s probably glad she has someone who can lighten up stressful royal affairs that she hasn’t had to be a part of until now.
William is busy being up front and center, as he should. So Harry and Kate aren’t supposed to speak to each other as they take the side stage?
This is BS.
TOTALLY agree. Wills & Harry = Charles & Andrew. The first bred to be dull, stiff, and inoffensive, the other free to just be.
Harry must be the most eligible bachelor in Europe, practically! It must be nice for him to talk to a woman who doesn’t have designs on ‘trapping’ him.
And BOTH Princes have a ginger Aunt & Uncle Spencer…..Ginger child does not mean it’s Harry’s! That is so dumb.
A silly story.
Agree…consider the source..In touch weekly!! Please, They are close like brother and sister. End of story.
Kaiser, I totally co-sign the “mothering” dynamic. The whole “Oh you poor darling” sounds about right…
However, neither William nor Kate will ever be mad at Harry for his naughty behavior. He’s too charming! Look at him, he’s like mother Kate’s favorite child. Always caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but never scolded because he’s the little darling.
oh how I love that ginger prince!! giggity giggity!! oh yeah!!
Prince William needs to pull that royal stick out of his bum.
If my husband talked to me like that in front of the whole country, I’d bust a new crack in his arse.
This.
If William would be more attentive to her in public, she wouldn’t need to stand with Harry so much.
I think Harry is a bit of a security blanket; someone who is nice to her and does not IGNORE her like the rest.
Disliked Kate before, but I feel more sorry for her lately, especially since the jubilee.
I’m with on those feelings about Kate. That was totally bad form, him treating her like that, knowing the whole country and press corps from around the world were watching.
He’s obviously inherited his father’s manners (lack thereof) along with that hairline.
BS.
Not buying it. Waitey wouldnt risk her marriage for Harry. Next…
Could someone English please explain the crazy hats? I noticed all the crazy hats while watching the BBC coverage of the thanksgiving ceremony at St. Paul’s Cathedral. The Queen’s hat was normal, but she seemed to be the only one.
Crazy hats. Sooooooooo many crazy hats. O.o ??????
Lainey says they were smoking buds before Kate kicked the habit. I think it’s great that they are friends. You need all the support you can get in that family/job. I am great friends with my BIL we laugh and joke all the time. Would people rather they stared stonily ahead and ignored each other? Sheesh!
Agreed…SHEESH!
Harry knows the stories of how hard it was for Diana, especially at first. He seems attentive out of kindness and concern for her. William couldn’t be, he had to stand up front.
They’ve known each other what, like 10 years? Of course they look chummy!
William & Kate only dated for 7-8 years so, Kate & Harry (and possibly Charles & Camilla) may also know each other for that long – sufficient for Kate to become close friends with William’s family, and William with the Middletons (esp. after they got back together in 2007)
Ahhh. Reminds me of the times when i’d be dating a nice guy, then he’d introduce me to all his friends…who were all hot.
I couldnt blame Kate if she was after Hot Ginger Prince lol
Yeah, this is just tabloid BS. They’re good friends, and now they are family, and it’s nice to see how well they get along.
Hmmm… interesting. She is a Capricorn and he’s a Virgo, that combo is a great match.
His birthday’s next week, so doesn’t that make him Gemini or Cancer depending on what side of the cusp you’re on?
Yeah, umm, that’s not a Virgo (Virgos are end August/September and extremely anal, IME). That’s a Gemini or a Cancer. (Although he acts very Virgo-esque – no offence to Virgos.)
Geminis are the twins, thus prone to mood-swings (being the twins and all) and Cancers are supposedly very family oriented.
i think the virgo she’s referring to is harry not will
I believe Wills is a Cancer. We share a bday which puts us right on the zodiac cusp so the only way to know your sign sign for certain is to get your chart done. Birth year, time and place all factor into it. I’m a Gemini, but I am fairly certain I came across Will’s chart in my astrology travels, and took note seeing as we share a bday, and he’s a Cancer. Or “Cancerian” as my Cancer hubby prefers 😉
Liv, that’s it!! Duh, thought she meant William.
Harry was a momma’s boy, so I think he just likes the “doting” attention and she’s happy to give it.
All I get from this is Harry is really so very hot. 😀 Those photos of him in the top hat and the swallow-tail tux. Wow. 😀
And no, I don’t think Kate will do anything like whatever In Touch is suggesting. I’ve said it before, I criticize Kate for many things, but cheating on William is not one of those things.
She wouldn’t want to jeopardize everything she and Ma Middleton have worked for all these years, and I honestly don’t think she’s that kind of person.
LOL at William being embarrassed. Maybe he should pay more attention to his wife, then…and by attention, I mean more than a hand on her back to guide her to where they’re going.
I agree Kate is not the one who will cheat plus Harry will never ever do this to his brother.i think this whole incident was stupid and tabloids stoop to this level in a moment, this should be a lesson for Kate that media can be very cruel especially british and this love affair with media will not last forever and soon they will start reporting in a non sugary way just wait for another year or so.i think these gossips will lead Harry to keep his distance with her in public in future which is not good for her because other then him and Camilla no one in the rf show any interest in engaging with her.
I agree, and I think it’s William’s call to make.
He can pay more attention to his wife in public to silence all these innuendos and rumours and to actually sell the PR-fueled ‘fairy tale’ love story that the Palace has been trying to get the public to believe.
The stiffer he acts around his wife, the stronger these talks about Kate and Harry being very close will become.
I don’t like the way this issue is going, mainly because of the way Harry is being caught in the middle. He just can’t catch a break. If these stories start to gain more ground, I have no doubt that there would be some sects in the media that would be quick to point to Harry as the one to blame. I think the boy has had enough to deal with when it comes to constant criticisms from the media, and much of it is unwarranted nowadays.
Now you have some people calling Harry an attention-whore and that he got it from his Mum. Hello? Harry is a happy, charming person. This is the way he is, he is friendly with everyone.
But thanks to these rumors, he’d probably keep his distance, and it will not benefit Kate to not have Harry by her side. He and Camilla seem to be her only friends/allies in the Windsor clan. Everyone else doesn’t seem to care about her.
If William and Kate want to “modernize” the monarchy, they can start by being openly affectionate. The other European royal couples are not afraid to display their love for their spouses, and none of the PDA is harming their images. Royals don’t have to be stiff and dull all the time.
I hate that prod in the back.
But according to Kate’s fans, that’s William being lovey-dovey and attentive!
LOL
I hate it, too. And he always puts his hand right in the middle of her back. I only do that when I mean to give someone a little push.
Touching Kate on the small of her back would be more gentlemanly and intimate. But the way William puts his hand on Kate’s back is more like he’s pushing her.
And because we’ve talked about this, we’d probably have someone call us jealous, mean haters who always find something to criticize. 😀
sachi: I just had a charitable moment. They don’t come often, but do you suppose it’s William’s way of showing PDA without showing PDA if you know what I mean?
@Bluhare – that’s what i thought too initially mainly because i was looking at photos.
Then i caught a news item where he touch/prodded her in that exact spot and she moved towards where ever he wanted her to go. He did it again, she changed direction. he did it a third time and she did it again.
Ever since then, every time i see video, i notice that whenever he touches/prods her, she moves either forward, left, right or what ever direction he wants her to move. like a toy.
It is never a spontaneous touch, and she doesn’t move around spontaneously until he touches/prods her to change direction or to move forward etc
i like to think that as a 30yr old woman, she knows where she is supposed to be going or has the sense to figure it out or has been prepared in advance so she knows what is what.
It is not a loving gesture.
“clap” very well-put!
I think Harry is or will become a very close confidant.
If Wills needs to think about why Harry and Kate find a public life so daunting, he need not look any further than his late mum.
If there is really any problem, there’ll be an announcement that Harry has changed his mind about living in an apartment right next to them in the same palace.
Till then, I’m not buying any of it.
I don’t believe this story at all. Most people are chummy with their brother and sister-in-laws. They were just behaving like siblings. Harry has often referred to the Duchess as a sister.
William is the heir apparent. Harry is the “hair” apparent. He’s hotter and Willy knows it. But how stupid to suggest she’s flirting. She’s no idiot.
Isn’t he darling though that Harry?
Wow.
How could anyone not love Harry?
Note to Kate: Reminder – Harry may be more fun, but you married Will not Harry!
So lay off the giggles with Harry especially when you are in public!
Would you want Will to do this to you?
I don’t see her flirting at all, I think Harry likes to make everyone laugh, it’s his personality.
There was NO flirting on either side …It’s just made-up (gratuitous) malicious gossip to insult & denigrate her – Shameful!
Painting Will as some cuckold victim based on these photos is ridiculous.
Imo… It seems as if the Middleton sisters were trained to flirt with well-to-do men and ignore the rest. I think this is one reason why she won’t change her behavior in public towards men like Harry. She should be more discrete though. But she’s spoiled, imo. She was brought up to think that her world should be about pleasuring herself after she snagged a rich man. So of course IF William told her to play down her alleged flirting, she’s going to respond like a spoiled girl & throw a fit (allegedly).
Surely you are referring to Diana’s well-known flirtatious behaviour, not Kate’s!?? – Kate’s discretion, loyalty to William and respect for the royal family have been exemplary/irreproachable ….Never been questioned!!
You are so ignorant and uninformed, it’s hilarious!
William, if this is true, is re-enacting the pattern between Charles and Diana of plucking a girl out her circumstances (Diana being a teenager, Kate being a commoner) and expecting them to have the decorum of a royal pro. Harry takes after his mom’s attention-grabbing.
Whoever William picked, even if it was CP Victoria, was always going to attract interest.
Kate, unlike Diana, had 8-9 years to know what being royal was about and as The Palace keeps reminding us, receives training.
BTW: i do not think sitting still in church, not talking during the National Anthem – which you should be singing, is a specifically royal expectation.
I thought that might happen for a minute, but I think CP Vic would never have gone for the HUGE Windsor fishbowl, compared to the comparatively quiet life she’s actually chosen.
She & her hubby are neat people.
Isn’t InTouch 2 weeks late with this ‘story’?
These stories are cracking me up so much!
darn now we won’t get anymore flirty kate and harry because of the media. I’ve always noticed their friendship, thanks media for ruining it. No more special Kate and Harry smiles….
Another thing the media is so misleading and selective. They ignore the great pictures of kate and william. There is one recent pic of William, the Queen and Kate on the balcony in Nottingham, the queen is in the middle and Kate and William are exchanging glances. It’s a adorable but ignored because it doesn’t fit the fanfic.
Yeah it’s a ridiculous story and the media only shows you what they want you to see.
Sometimes I think William is humorless and dull like his father,
—————————————–
That was my thought during Jubilee Concert. William didn’t seem to have any fun while Harry was singing along to Tom Jones and Katie was dancing along to some of the music and when Sir Paul came on even the sour faced Princess Anne was getting down.
Oh and Charles looked like he was going to throw up during Kylie while the guy next to him (Mr. Princess Anne?) was clearl enjoying the view.
How can you sense she is “mothering” him and in what sense?
The thing with those pictures was that Kate was standing much closer to the brother than to her husband.
But, come on. They are allowed to be friends and playful.
Not everything is connected to sexual tension.
Remember when they tried to pull this one with Kate’s sis? At the wedding? When the media tried to force the idea of Pippa+Harry=WhoKnowsWhat on us? I didn’t see “it” then, I don’t see “it” now…
Yes, I know this story is BS. Why would Kate jeopardize everything (the only thing) she worked so hard for the last ten years. But is it possible that she is just trying to get Willy to notice her more at public appearances? His aloofness last week was so painfully obvious.
Also- I’ve said this before. Harry would never do that to his brother. Both brothers had a ring side seat (even they were both just children) to the disintegration of their parent’s marriage. Very painful memory for both of them.
She’s beautiful, she’s classy, and no she would not do this to William. Her and Harry have known eachother for a VERY long time so of course they are going to be close.
I think she sees him as a little brother. So cute!
Drama being created over nothing.
As for the Harry thing, why wouldn’t she flirt? He’s the only man in the universe besides her husband that she can safely flirt with. I doubt Wills cares, and I seriously doubt Harry would hit that. Who couldn’t Harry get at this point? But there’s no harm in making the only sister he’ll ever have laugh.
I doubt one word of this story is true. They’ve all known one another for ten years at this point and are very relaxed together. It would be hard to stand around at all these appearances if you didn’t have someone to laugh and joke with – and it ain’t going to be that dour William. Bring on the hot ginge!
I wouldn’t mind the paparazzi as the royal life would be so cool and if Harry were to propose to me, I wouldn’t say no as I really love him and think that he is so hot. I really want to move to England and see if he would really think that I would be suitable for taking on the role of royal duties for the rest of my life.
This duchess should be painfully embarrassed by her terrible make-up. It looks so harsh, amateur, unflattering.
Pretty hair though! Too bad about all those silly hats covering up her lustrous locks.
extensions don’t you mean !!
They need to make sure from now on that Pippa is there with them, in a tight dress, to distract Prince Harry. If Harry is busy staring at Pippa’s behind, he can’t be flirting with Kate.
“Sometimes I think William is humorless and dull like his father”
NO way! William is very very charming and smart.
Life as a royal looks to be rather stuffy at times. If Harry and Kate can find a moment to be themselves, and have a few laughs, good for them. I’m glad that they get along. If they weren’t talking and smiling, there’d probably be gossip that they hated each other, and that Kate was crying herself to sleep every night.
Much Ado About Nothing.
who cares.that taupe and lace dress is smashing !
OuttaTouch Weekly, you mean? Do you know how many tabloid reporters troll gossip sites looking for a kernel from a comment (from posters themselves) cause they need to create a story? Heck, they will even try to bait posters into saying certain things and call it a “source” these days. Now, why is anyone wasting their money on a tabloid?
Blah blah blah. God forbid she gets along with her brother-in-law. Not everyone is indecent.
Príncipe William garoto propaganda da cerveja Sol. O sol que mata a sede do meu coração.
Te amo, William.

If I were her, I’d def. be tempted to hit that.
