Kate Middleton says “No thankyou” to the Queen’s invitation!
Kate Middleton snubs Queen
Wow, Kate Middleton got some Girl Power over the Christmas period and reportedly snubbed the Queen! After being banned from the Christmas Day festivities, Kate was invited to a pre-Christmas lunch with the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace however declined the invitation.
“Kate has enormous respect and admiration for the Queen and was very flattered to be asked,” a source said.
“But, if she’d been there, it would have caused too much disruption for everyone else. The very last thing she wants to do is rock the boat so, between them, she and William said they would rather wait another year until something official is out there.”
It has previously been reported that William and Kate will be married by 2012.
“Nothing is set in stone but 2012 is the date that is now being talked about,” a royal insider revealed in November.
“The Queen has said she doesn’t want to be overburdened in the year of her jubilee. Having a Royal Wedding is the perfect compromise for keeping the limelight on the Royal Family but taking the pressure off the Monarch.
“Whether William and Kate get married in 2012 or the year before, it will be the Queen who will throw them the most wonderful party and the line of thinking at the moment is that 2012 could be the perfect date. It would be the opportune time to put Britain and the Royal Family on the world stage.
“William is in no hurry to be married, so there is every chance it could be 2012 and the fact that it is now being talked about at the Palace between a select few means the ball is now rolling.
“With the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics, it will be a busy year, but a wedding is only one day and it could easily be fitted between the two events.”
