As I was watching MSNBC Thursday morning, a reporter from the NBC London bureau came on to do some special reporting. Perhaps it was about the economic crisis facing one of America’s strongest allies, the United Kingdom? Perhaps it was some new development regarding David Cameron or Gordon Brown? Alas, no.
The London bureau reporter was talking about a French report that Prince William and Kate Middleton were getting married this summer. The French report alleged that Will and Kate were keeping their schedules open for a lavish wedding and honeymoon. It all sounded very thin, and the palace thought so too. OK! Magazine was told by “sources” that there will be no wedding any time soon:
Don’t believe those whispers of an engagement between Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton!
OK! has learned that “I Dos” are unlikely to happen anytime soon. Just before 26-year-old William entered the Royal Air Force Shawbury in January, he was warned that training would be time-consuming and intense. “The instructors would never advise anyone to start planning a wedding, let alone a royal wedding, while on course,” an insider tells OK!.

Yeah, Will isn’t going to marry Kate any time soon. Not when he gets the milk for free, and not when she’s perfectly willing to turn her life upside down to please him with no guarantee of anything. Of course, that’s just my opinion. This is could all be one large scam by the palace in an attempt to throw off naturally suspicious people like me.
Several weeks ago, OK! had a story about Kate moving in with Will on the military base where he’s training. At the time, I thought it perfectly reasonable. Could it be that it has become accepted within the royal family that Will and Kate won’t be married for a while (if ever)? That they’ll just live in sin? Gasp! What will the children think?

She looks just like LC only brunette. In other words, YAWN.
Yeah, but she’s definitely prettier than him. She could do better (looks wise), but it sure looks like she’s holding out for the ultimate prize.
you’re spot on with “when he gets the milk for free, and not when she’s perfectly willing to turn her life upside down to please him with no guarantee of anything.”
anyone who has read the usual books on how to get a guy to marry you know that men have a plan (yes, i’m quoting steve hervey, hehe), and if william really wanted to marry kate he would have done something a long time ago. he’s had to grow up quickly being the heir to the british and commonwealth throne, plus it is not like he’s 19 years old (like his mum was when she got engaged to his father). he’s had a lot of time to think about him and kate. he’s had a lot of opportunities to meet other people. he still hangs on to ex-girlfriends, and is in constant contact with them, especially the one whose brother he dumped his cousin peter’s wedding for.
the military stuff excuse is crap. what does that say about all the married military people? i think he’ll be just like his father, but a bit wiser. that kate is just there, an easy lay whenever he wants. she’s definitely the “eternal waiter” hoping he’ll ask her to marry him.
they’ve already had one or was it two break-ups. that’s a clear indication he’s not wanting to marry her. as i said before, men always have a plan, and they know pretty much at the start whether they want to marry someone and for william it is not kate.
so yes, you’re spot on about that. too bad kate hasn’t woken up and realized this. being with someone for six years and not even an engagement ring. yeah.
C’mon- he’s 26. How many 26-year-old men are really chomping at the bit to get hitched? I’m the same age as she is, and I’m in no hurry. I know plenty of people who met young and simply waited until they were in a situation where getting married made sense. Sometimes they waited years. If Will and Kate don’t marry each other, it’ll have more to do with the fact that being British royalty isn’t for everyone. He might want to spare her, or she might spare herself from a life with that kind of pressure.
*Get the milk for free?!*
They’ve been together for what, seven years? You’re absolutely right, any woman worth her salt would be holding out on him.
And I’m also 26, and in zero rush to get married. As a teenager I could only picture being married by now (or slightly sooner) if I’d been with someone since my late teens. Given the additional pressure – now and in the future – on them, and what he went through with his parents, why isn’t it smart for him to hold off on getting married to *anyone*? I haven’t heard reports of him taking advantage of or mistreating her, or leading her on; I think her eyes are wide open, she loves him, and right now he’s worth it to her. If she eventually doesn’t want to wait any longer, that’s her choice. But he’s probably smart to not get married young, or get married in the midst of frequent training and traveling.
“Getting the milk for free” is pretty anachronistic. I don’t think access to sex should be a bargaining chip for a marriage, because if that’s the basis of it, it’s a pretty flimsy starting point. She’s “getting him for free” too. Maybe the lack of rush is mutual.
christ that comment was old fashioned.And talk about sexist!!! Ever occur to any of you the SHE does not want to get married? I mean, being a princess could put a lot of restrictions on her life and career that she may not want.
I’m 30 and have been dating my guy for 5 years and we have no interest in getting married because I am working on grad school and my career. I think a lot of people these days only consider getting married when they want to have kids.
There is no way to know if this is mutual, if she is waiting for him, or if he is waiting for her. People are just DYING for a big romantic royal wedding, but, its a different world now for the royals, and I for one am glad these kids are getting to live somewhat normal lives, including not getting hitched and sucked into the royal baby making machine.
Well, it’s not here or there whether he’s “getting the milk for free. Bottom line is that she’s hanging on and holding out for the big prize praying that eventually he’ll marry her. And I also agree, 26 or not he’s in his mind she’s not the one. Maybe she’ll wear him down and if she waits long enough who knows, she might get a ring but just like Diana, it will not be a hapy marriage.
P.S. He’s lucky he’s a prince because he’s grown up really FUGLY and probably couldn’t get laid otherwise!
it`s obvious that she is not the one for william, they are so much different, and yes,if she is patient enough she might get him, but she will never be happy with him, but maybe she prefers to be un unhappy princes than be a happy normal person. Otherwise she would`ve been gone long time ago. I have two friends they have a relationship for 7 years, and they didn`t get married by now because they have tatally different personalities, even if since the begining they are trying to make it, it s not possible> He dosen`t wants to get married cause is not ready enough, and she is waiting for the question. When this happends, means you are with the right person.
It is quite sad, she will ruin the monarchy and will eventually be abolished. 1,000 years of hard work..some excess play but eventual hard work. She will ruin it, how can she even run a monarchy. William, man please dont marry her, i would rather not read about her in my textbooks…
