Prince William’s Tampon Tennis
PRINCE William and gelfriend Kate Middleton are holidaying under the names Mr and Mrs Smith. This, says the Sun, is to ensure that when they arrived with their armed escorts, drivers, valets, maids and facilitators they blend in with the hotel’s staff.
That’s Wills stood by that ginger lad in the baseball cap and his braying chums playing rugger on the sands in readiness for war in Iraq.
Says the Sun:
Kate used the popular aliases to book them into a holiday home as a birthday treat for Wills, who turned 27 yesterday.
But any hopes the famously shy couple had of a private break were dashed when Wills’ brother Harry, 24 - and a bunch of pals - tagged along. And instead of a romantic dinner on Friday, the lovers went to a boozy beach barbie.
And so goes the media narrative. It’s always happy Harry, the cat’s paw playboy, and sensible Wills, the sensible lad with the sensible ramrod straight back and sensible steady gaze.
No matter that most women would rather be tried to a radiator and forced to drink Terry Waite’s urine than date Harry, and no matter than the most memorable shot of Wills is of him frotting a student in a nightclub.
The story goes on, as told by Alex Peake and Duncan Larcombe:
Wills and Harry knocked back beer and cider and played football before setting up a fire. Wills and Kate then watched the sun set.
The image is lovely, isn’t it. Wills humouring his scamp of a brother and then sat beside his beloved as they gaze over the horizon. No groping. No pissing on the sand. Just soft focus perfection.
The couple’s made-up names mirror those of Charles and Camilla, who famously used to refer to themselves in code as Fred and Gladys.
Wills yesterday spent the afternoon playing tennis with Kate.
Same old balls, please…

OOh I do love it when someone gets all uppity about spelling when their grammar and spelling is crap! There’s a website called throneout.com that makes various allegations about the Royals, but I was unable to download the bit about parentage. I somehow doubt however that HM The Queen had any affairs and I genuinely think that Harry looks like Charles.

Why doesn’t the media leave these young people alone despite their royalty in these cases recon by yourself,you meet a nice girl the two of you decide to go on a weekend break ,the next day headlines about you and your girlfriend spread al over the place.After this romantic weekend the paparazi is following you day in day out (a clear intrusion into your private life)…..how would you feel after a certain amount of time,…..????
Aren’t there more important issues on this planet in need to be adressed by the media????And i certainly don’t mean the “adventure’s” of a person called Jordan.
OOh and by the way a young person from the female gender is called g i r l.

Who cares who fired one up dirty Di at the critical moment? Charles is Harry’s dad. Mrs. yossarian’s old fella wasn’t present at the moment of her conception but he’s been her Dad since before she could walk and woe betide anyone who suggests otherwise. Much to my chagrin as well cos he can be a right egregious twat on his day

Well, you all could be right or all wrong. However, that has not made it proper and goes against human decency for the UK newspapers over the many years when he was growing up to speculate about such unproven ugly rumours for all to read that could cause a child to be emotionally scarred for life.

Prince Andrew is a dead ringer for his late aunt Margaret, he’s also a plumper version of the Princess Royal.
I think Wills is also very like his uncle Charles, Earl Spencer.
Harry doesn’t look like any of them, inc his mother, either physically or colouring.
Compare Wills with his first cousins, Andrew and Sarah’s daughters, they are all alike
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Yampster, you know I am not saying that!
I have never thought Prince Andrew looked anything like his sister or two brothers but never thought anything untoward about that. Queen Elizabeth was a beautiful young woman and I always felt the gene pull from her side of the family was more in Prince Andrew’s looks.
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Are you trying to say that Earl Spencer may have fathered our Prince Harry. You go too far
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Diana’s brother, Cheryl…? you have got to be joking!!! completely different facial structure….
…and you have made my point for me, regarding your sister’s children, which was that - unlike your nieces, who resemble one or other parent, Harry does not resemble EITHER Charles or Diana….??
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Dairy, look at Diana’s brother - there is that family resemblance that Harry has to her side of the family.

Further, Dairy, I’m speaking from experience on different looks in families. My sister has blond hair, blue eyes and pale skin. Years ago she married a Greek, who came from Greece and looks quite Greek. They had twin girls. One is blond hair, blue eyes and very pale skin. The other looks pure Greek - looks like Nick had her all by himself. No one even guesses they are sisters. They have five in total. Three have my sister’s physical looks and their son looks pure Greek also like the one twin.
Yampster, as for your remark re Michael Jackson’s children. Seeing them didn’t surprise me. My adopted sons are brothers and bi-racial. They had a caucasian mother and Black father. One has a light tan skin, wavy hair (not curly) and looks caucasian. The other one has white skin, very curly hair, and also looks caucasian.

Harry’s colouring and features are somewhat of an anomoly; and absolutely agree he and Wills do not look like brothers.
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Cheryl - if you look at photos of Diana, Harry doesn’t even resemble her either!!! however, nasty little rumour vehemently denied that it is, he DOES CLOSELY resemble a certain Major Hewitt, who his mother did have a dalliance with during her marriage (not that I blame her, by the way…..)
now that may be a coincidence, accident of genetic heritage, call it what you like, but if you didn’t know who he was, you would never relate him to any of the Windsors by the way he looks….?
ALL the others resemble each other, with their miserable hang-dog faces, Wills included - Harry’s facial features are completely different and nobody to date (to my knowledge) has brought up a photo of anybody on his mother’s side of the family from whom he could have inherited that “look”…?
the marriage was on the rocks from the beginning, at least as far as Charles was concerned - after all, he had other interests….
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Like Michael Jackson’s kids you mean?
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Dairy, I’ve watched them closely over the years growing up and I always thought Harry’s looks favour his Mom’s side of the family and William’s looks favour his Dad’s side of the family.
I don’t recall the marriage was totally on the rocks when Diana conceived Harry. Frankly, I can’t fathom an ‘accident’ would have been chanced happening that the rumour-mongering ugly public has kept perpetuating and feasting on for all these years. Anyhow, if by some stretch of the imagination an ‘accident’ had happened odds are it would have been quickly handled.
Not all siblings look alike in families. Many times one will favour their mother’s side and the other will favour their father’s side.

saw a TV clip on the news with the pair of them the other night - to look at them, you would never think they were brothers at all…..
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Well they need their legit broodmares too….and can anyone imagine a ginger nut x Princess Royal, its first words would be interesting. Turn the air positively Royal blue at the Royal Ascot Enclosure.
But Charles did it in reverse , dumped his airheaded whinging lovely……
Otherwise they are keeping up with the commoners, can you imagine the whoha if there was to be a Royal Wedding in full State pomp in these austere times?
How many hospitals would it build, or schools or pubs
For all their faults , they do beat King Tone and Queen Cherie into the ground (we’d still have him, he would NEVER have gone)

Charles broke the mould when he managed to divorce what’s her name. Now the ok has been given to divorce the princes can marry who they like early on, divorce them when they get a bit haggard and get some fresh young royal stuff in for the queen consort bit later on. Any kids from earlier marriages can always be disinherited by claiming they were really Carling’s or Hewitt’s or whoever’s on the razz around the palace at the time.

This romance has been going on for years. Guess “Granny” has decided best tolerate the Royal Heirs living and cavorting around in ’sin’ than have another Charles/Diana fiasco on her hands.
