I'm slightly concerned about William Middleton's choice of wife. I actually couldn't care less about her uncle. It's the self-serving idleness of Kate M that irritates me. I don't think she give two hoots about anyone, frankly. There's zero warmth about that woman. JUst my opinion...

At least the Middleton's are not benefit scroungers, they are hardworking entrepreneurs and they have earned their wealth, and good luck to them for conquering house of Windsor, if they are up to it then why not?

"She can¿t go and work in an office or be a PR person. If this hadn¿t happened I¿m sure she would have been earning £200,000 a year in her own right. She has probably taken a significant pay cut.¿" Please- she also might be working for her parents - or socializing looking for a rich man- which seems to be her main "talent"

Totally agree with Honeybee, they are the modern day Boleyn family, plotting & scheming to take over!! So much for up dating the Royal family, instead we are regressing back to Tudor times!! That's progress for you!

She can never have a normal life, taking the kids to playgroups, picking them up from school, etc. I would not wish that life on my own daughter but if they are happy with it, then so be it. That said, the Middletons have the means to enjoy all the material things in life, with privacy. Kate, on the other hand, will always be limited. Despite new clothes aplenty, continual holidays, a 57 room house at Kensington Palace, she will never again enjoy the freedom to pop to the shop for an ice cream or have a cup of tea in a cafe. Not a great recipe for contentment. - Rebelrose, Ealing, 21/4/2013 8:17 No pity party for Kate from me. She gets lavish vacations and doesn't have to work that much. I don't think Kate would trade this to pop to the ice cream shop. She would not have stayed in the 10 year dating relationship with the Prince if this were the case.

Terrible trashy family. You would have thought that after the Diana fiasco our Royal Family would vet potential marriage partners more closely. - Jon Felix Hogwood, London, United Kingdom, 21/4/2013 6:04 Leave Diana out of this. She came from an aristo family who was light years better than the Middleton-Goldsmiths. Unfortunately the royals and Charles showed no taste preferring Camilla to Diana.

Says something not so great about him when he thinks Camilla "adorable.". Camilla and Gary should ponder the reasons they get bad press.

rubyroo london posted "Wow! His PR company is good." Not just his. (...) The Palace probably realised from the outset the Middletons were a liability. They devised a long-term plan to improve them in the eyes of the public. Every month or two, one Middleton is publicised, emphasising the good, smoothing over the less good and completely ignoring the outrageous, as in this article about Gary. Drug Taking? Just smooth it over quickly. (...) What's the point of having a royal family if they're no better than the rest of us? I don't consider the Windsors any better than me - that's why I'm a republican. ===> The only thing I would add is that they are in fact quite worse than most middle class families. Look at their achievements (educational, professional, personal) --> mediocre or no degrees, divorces, affairs, not even one of them has a proper job. Kate looks OK in comparison and there is absolutely no hidden compliment as the situation is very sad indeed.

I worked with him recently - a truly horrible man with no boundaries.

Gosh the Middleton's are really greedy. Already millionaires but everyone's cashing in on Kate's marriage. Kate herself with her refusal to work, Pippa taking cheques from whoever's handing them out, and now Uncle Gary. You couldn't make it up!

'Kate will be that Queen, with William by her side' . He said it! Look out, House of Middleton on the rise!

I know everyone loves them, but I dislike the middletons. I find them all irrating, I don't even like kate that much and no I don't think she will make a good queen, I think she will make a lazy one

I couldn't care less about his possible downfall what I do care about is the gradual and insidious downfall of The House of Windsor giving rise to the House of Middleton. Oh William what have you done?

Self promotion, fame, accumulating wealth and power fills their world. It does not leave much room for charity and altruism. (which is a big part of royal duties for his niece!) It does not come naturally to the self absorbed.

He just makes the Middletons more of social climbers like someone said I think Kate is totally self absorbed she could do so much good in the world but is totally pointless in what she does. I often wonder what type of a parent she will be. It will be a change having someone else to take care of besides herself.
