Kate Middleton: Future Queen or Future Ex?

I like Kate Middleton. I think she is one classy, discreet woman. I honestly can't understand the intense 'hatred' (yeah, dispite what they say on forums, they hate her!) of a woman who we don't know, and whom we havne't even heard speak.

She dresses nicely, always seems to smile to the press, and has kept her lips firmly shut, even when she was dumped by Prince William earlier this year in April. Some reports claimed she could of made millions during this period of time but decided to keep her own council. Those on the forums seem to attack Kate Middleton for keeping herself to herself and going about a daily life in London, yet their idol, Princess Diana did exactly the same. I can see no difference in the coverage of 2007 then the press coverage in 1980/1981. And yet, for some reason, Kate is seem in the same way Camilla is, someone to be ridiculed and attacked over and over again, for 'sins' such as wearing a dress that is a little short or going on another holiday in the sunny Bahama's.

I have always believed that those who have attacked her for so little are simply jealous. Of course if you voice this publicly then people will jump on you and literaly rip your throat out but why else attack a young woman? I think they are jealous she is dating and sleeping with a Prince, has no real need to work and can pretty much please herself when it comes to her schedule and spare time. I mean who wouldnt' love to be able to swan around wearing designer clothes, going to parties and socialising all the time......well to be honest it's not my type of life however you get what I mean........! I can see no other reason to 'hate' someone as those on message boards do unless there is a case of the green eyed monster there!

Whether or not she is perfect for William who knows. The relationship is said to be on and off and that does not bear well for the future. The Royal Family simply cannot afford for another relationship to fail like Williams parents marriage did. A lot is being wagered on Prince William, his ability to be King and the woman he chooses as his wife. I would not like to be in his shoes, not for all the privilige he has. Nor would I want to be in his furture wife's shoes either.

Personaly and rather selfishly, I hope that William marries Kate but only if it's for love and the right reasons. We dont want him marrying because he is being pushed into it. We dont want history to repeat itself. I like her. I think she is discreet and shows a ability to handle the press well. Although at times it must be straining for her, she doesn't show it. There are no public tears or breakdowns.

I don't know if we'll see Kate Middleton walk up the aisle of Westminster Abbey, but if it happens I'd be happy. But all we can do is wish for William and Kate to be happy, whatever path their lives take.
