Snobbery in the British Royal Family Blamed for Split
Some reports have it that Kate Middleton’s middle-class family and her parents’ career history may be to blame for her break-up with Prince William. There are various recountings of how Kate’s mom, Carole Middleton, has committed such no-nos as using “toilet” instead of “lavatory, and saying “Pleased to meet you” to The Queen, instead of “How do you do?”. And, horrors!, she (Carole) chewed gum in public during Prince William’s passing out ceremony at Sandhurst. References to her previous job as a flight stewardess abound.
Is Prince William really that shallow? I can’t imagine that he would have stayed that long with Kate if he couldn’t stand her middle-class upbringing. Or was he just hanging around because she was “fun” to be around? If that’s true, for shame! Maybe it is better in the long run for Kate to have “escaped”.

I’m not sure I ever really liked Kate with Will…She was pretty but I couldn’t stand her style…

Hi Leora,
I’m curious about what you don’t like about Kate’s style. Care to share? ;)

It is very evident that William & Kate is still in love with each other. She still wears his ring and they keep in regular contact with each other. This is something that people just don’t get. They are taking a cooling off for awhile, the romance is not completely over. The royal family is not snobbery. William makes his own choices. I bet we will see Kate along with William at the Diana Concert in July. Don’t praise a break up, pray for them.

Hi Claudius,
As with our readers here, I’m really interested in knowing more about whether or not Prince William and Kate are simply lyiing low. So far, I’ve not seen photos or reports of this. If you have, please do share!

How silly. Kate and her family, were seen as too much social climbers and pushy. Kate was seen as girlfriend material(she first appeared to William and the press in underwear on the fashion runway, not a good start or image for Queen) she was never viewed as good wife material for William, according to James Whitaker.William doesn’t want her, that’s the reality, she was a University romance that has ended.
