Kate and William take to the snow

Prince William and girlfriend Kate Middleton are enjoying a tour of the French Alps at the moment, and were yesterday spotted in Courchevel with Prince William showing off his dangerous side!
Kate clung on for dear life as Wills raced around the ski resort of a hired snow mobile. In a hair raising moment, Wills turned round to make sure Kate was holding on tight before he put his foot down and took off in a flurry of snow.
Prince  William has joined Kate on holiday with her parents staying in a chalet which costs up to £15,000 a week to rent.

Fashionable Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton has been praised by fashion experts for her style and has been labelled a future fashion ambassador similar to the reputation that William’s late mother, Diana Princess of Wales achieved.
Fashion Director Hilary Alexander told Hello! magazine: “Once the engagement is announce, hopefully she will come out of the closet and be an ambassador for fashion.
“It would be great if she adopted young designers such as Richard Nicoll, Jonathan Saunders or Christopher Kane. Someone with her profile could give British fashion a boost across the world.”
David Emanuel, who actually designed Princess Diana’s wedding dress in 1981 also stated: “She is well groomed and well bred and she seems to know what she’s about- a confident girl.”

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.

“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.”

Kate Middleton puppy

According to reports, Prince William is planning on treating Kate Middleton to her own gundog for Christmas. As William is flying away on duties next year when he transfers to RAF Valley in Anglesey to train as an air sea rescue pilot, he wants to get Kate something to keep her company and he feels a puppy would be the perfect present.

Prince William has asked gamekeepers at Sandringham to find a chocolate labrador from the royal estate’s bloodline as a Christmas present for Kate Middleton.

The prince already has his own black Lab, called Widgeon, who is the grandson of one of the Queen’s favourite dogs, Brae.

“He’s hoping she’ll be thrilled,” said one aide.

This present from William is a significant gesture of how the Queen feels towards Kate. “The Queen doesn’t put much faith in people, she prefers animals,” said one aide. “So if she’s ready to hand someone a dog it shows how much she really trusts them. Horses and dogs are the only things she ever relies on.”

Meanwhile, Kate will be learning portrait photography in New York with some of the best snappers in America. “But when she’s home William wanted her to have something to remember him by,” said the royal aide.

“And if she is going to be a royal she’d better start loving dogs!”

Chelsy Davy angry with Kate Middleton

Prince Harry’s girlfriend Chelsy Davy is reportedly furious with Prince William’s girlfriend, Kate Middleton as Kate has ignored Chelsy since she has started dating Harry again after their break up last year.

Chelsy has told her friends that Kate has been very cold to her and she felt that Kate is trying to be just like Prince William’s family by snubbing her.

A source told Daily Star: “It’s very strange because of all the people in the world, Kate is the only one who knows what it’s like to be in her shoes.

“She’d like to stay friends but she isn’t going to beg. She thinks Kate gets put under a lot of pressure by William and the people around him. She’s trying to be just like William’s family. She’s even too royal to go to work.
“One thing she didn’t miss while she and Harry had their break from each other was all the backbiting and gossip around his family. She just wants to get on with her own life and has no ambitions to be the slightest bit royal or grand herself.”

Meanwhile, Chelsy was overwhelmed how welcome she’s been made to feel by other members of the royal family, including Harry’s cousin Princess Beatrice. A source said: “Chelsy has been pleasantly surprised at how nice most people have been. She’s never been close to Bea but she came up and gave her a big hug once they were inside.”
