Twice is multiple times….

Meh- this isn’t any big whoop. Lots of couples breakup while they’re young and still dating and trying to figure things out. But yeah.. still waiting on proof of any affair or any friction at all after marriage

What proof are you expecting? A sex tape? Certainly you aren’t expecting William and Kate themselves to confirm?

Now that would be the day. The palace is so in lala-land they can’t even be honest about William’s lack of hair.

Is that supposed to be William?

It looks a little. . . German.

For whatever reason, the gold one, while identical, resembles him a little.

Looks a little like Cal Ripken Jr.

A little is right.

They took their dream bust of a random Roman Emperor and ran for it.

Wow. Remember when the ROTA tried to convince the public William was the sexiest bald guy alive.

I always figured that Kate's interest in William started as a schoolgirl crush when she was a teen and that when she met him for real at St. Andrews, that crush grew into real affection.

I'm so curious how much of the impetus was Kate's and how much was her mother's/parents'. Kate changed colleges to go where William was, so there was a strategic pursuit, and a pretty notable one at that. It's unfathomable to me that you'd let your child change colleges in hopes of meeting a celebrity they liked, so was Carole just an unusually indulgent mother, or was she calculatingly ambitious?

Maybe I've missed media reports about her over the years, or maybe Carole Middleton hasn't been of interest enough to American media, but it sure seems like there's a story there. It would make a great mini-series on cable channel! Rags to riches air hostess/small business owner, raises oldest to snag heir to throne, clearing the path to socially and financially advantageous marriages for the younger siblings.

The middletons were not British upper class. Even if Carole Middleton had been calculating enough to be thinking of her daughters prospects at college, there is no way in hell she would have thought prince william was on the table. Her coaching once he became part of Kate’s circle may be a different story.

I know, but that's part of why it's so weird. Kate switched to St. Andrews after it was announced that that was the university William would attend. It's always been reported that she switched in order to be at the same school.

Just because it's a crazy, highly improbably plan, it doesn't mean that it didn't work. Maybe it was the naive and fantastical decision of kid, indulged by a parents. In any case, I'd be happy to read any pushback on the idea that Kate followed William to St. Andrews. I've never seen any, myself.

^^Goodness, she chased after William for decades….only to have him disrespect her on the world’s stage.

But, she gets to wear a crown, so…. Yay.

You seem so invested in this story... why do you insist like it is the one true story?

You're addressing at least two different posters, fyi.

I posted that it seemed to be the accepted narrative that Kate followed William to St. Andrews but that I'm open to any refutation. That the opposite of being investing in "one true story."

Sorry, that should read: That's the opposite of being invested in "one true story."

Gin and tonic on an empty stomach was clearly a mistake this evening. (But at least I got my punctuation right. Woot!)

Cheers, my fellow DCUMers!

Is the royal palace paying overtime for astroturfers?

I read that she wasn’t the only one who switched. A few other girls did too. It doesn’t necessarily mean that they were out to marry him. Maybe they just thought it would be cool to make friends with a prince.

I do believe Carole Middleton is very, very intelligent and that she coached her daughters to do well for themselves, marriage-wise. I say this with admiration. Her son also ended up doing well in the marriage market.

I definitely believe that it could be true. Carole Middleton realized that her daughter was the same age as the prince and thought it would be a good idea if she could meet him.
