According to The Sun, Kate Middleton is now Prince William's serious girlfriend and have been seen at rugby events and skiing with each other.

Kate Middleton and Prince William have been sharing a flat (apartment) together for some time now, according to the Internet Forum. "They also shared with Fergus Boyd, a 21-year-old who was at Eton with William, and one other student."

And Cordite says that they are "more than just flatmates", they are romantically involved. According to reports, "[the Prince's] favourite chat-up line is "Hi, I'm the future king, wanna pull?" This is often said in a flat tone, loaded with irony."

Kate Middleton is a young Melbourne, Australia writer and composer. Her work has appeared in many journals and newspapers including Heat, Meanjin, Australian Book Review and The Age, and she has written the libretti for three operas. She is currently working on a single-hander opera based on Jordie Albiston's The Hanging of Jean Lee for mezzo-soprano and electro-acoustics. Her work has previously appeared in Heat, Meanjin, Nocturnal Submissions, Hobo, New England Review and Going Down Swinging.

The  royal family reacted with anger and spite at the pictures as this was the first serious attempt by a media outlet to break an agreement with the media to protect Prince William's privacy from the paparazzi. The British press had originally agreed to not hound Prince William  in return for a number of stage-managed photo opportunities and formal interviews with the media at certain pre-determined times. 

We have learned that The Sun has now been banned from all upcoming stage-managed photo opportunities and formal interviews with Prince William following the publication of the pictures. 

It is believed that Jason Fraser took the photos of Prince William and Kate. Mr. Fraser was also the photographer of the 1997 "Diana and Dodi kiss", from which some estimate he earned $2,000,000.

According to our sister publication, ReallyHot.org, another UK tabloid, The Mirror, also believed Prince William and Kate were an item. It claimed the pair went to great lengths to keep their romance a secret. Only close friends knew about the relationship and were sworn to secrecy - yeah right.... like anybody can keep their mouth shut..

About Prince William
Prince William was born on June 21, 1982 at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, West London. His father is HRH Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His mother was the former Lady Diana Frances Spencer, a daughter of the 8th Earl Spencer. He has a younger brother, HRH Prince Harry of Wales. As a grandchild of the British monarch in the male line, he was styled His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales. He is sometimes known as Wills.

Through his mother, Prince William is descended from both the Duke of Grafton and the Duke of Richmond, two illegitimate sons of King Charles II of England. Thus, upon his expected ascension as King, he will be the first British monarch descended from Charles II, as well as the first descended from Charles I since the death of Queen Anne in 1714.

In 2004, the American television network NBC broadcast tapes of Prince William's mother as she described a suicide attempt while pregnant with William. It is now known that she suffered from postnatal depression his birth.

His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales (William Arthur Philip Louis Mountbatten-Windsor) (born June 21, 1982) is a member of the British Royal Family, grandson of Queen Elizabeth II and first son of Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales. Prince William is second in the line of succession to the British throne, after his father and before his brother, Prince Harry.

Prince William is expected to ascend the throne of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth Realms.

Prince William attended the Mrs Jane Mynors' nursery school and the pre-prep Wetherby School both in West London. He later attended Ludgrove School in Berkshire. William was the first British prince to attend a primary school. He later attended the prestigious Eton College in Eton, Berkshire. He studied geography, biology and history of art at A-level.

After completing his A-levels, Prince William chose to attend the University of St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. He embarked on a degree course in Arts History, although he later changed his main subject to Geography. He is currently in his final year at the university. Prince William stays in a modest apartment in the town of St Andrews and is often found in the nearby city of Edinburgh. At Saint Andrews, William uses the name William Wales.

On 31 August 1997 Prince William's mother, Diana, Princess of Wales and her companion, Dodi Fayed, was killed in a car accident in Paris, France. Her death came days after she spent a holiday in southern France with both Prince William and Prince Harry. Both princes were staying with the Queen at Balmoral Castle at the time and were woken from their sleep by their father, Charles, to be told the tragic news.

At Diana's funeral, Prince William accompanied his father and brother and his grandfather Prince Philip and his uncle the 9th Earl Spencer to walk behind Diana's funeral cortege from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey. During his eulogy, the Earl Spencer promised that the Spencer family would take an active interest in looking after Diana's children, although William saw little of him and Diana's mother in future years.

Like many British teenagers, Prince William chose to take a gap year after finishing Eton College. He took part in British Army training in Belize. He spent the final stage of his gap year in southern Chile as a volunteer with Raleigh International. Pictures of the prince cleaning a toilet were broadcast around the world.

Prince William is known to be wary of the media and tries to avoid the spotlight. When Paul Burrell was publishing his story of his time working with Diana, Princess of Wales, William issued a statement with his brother condemning those people who disrespect her memory. His uncle Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex was also criticised for breaking media guidelines on reporting on Prince William during his education at St Andrews by sending a TV crew to film him.

As the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, it is expected that William will ascend the throne. It has been suggested that Prince Charles, Prince of Wales renounce his right to succeed in favour of William, who is far more popular than Charles throughout the Commonwealth. The Queen is known to spend time with William, tutoring him on his future role. If William decides to use his first name as King, he will be known as King William V.

At the present, however, Prince William is relatively free of royal responsibility. He currently does not carry out official engagements on behalf of the Queen. He also announced his intention not to use the style His Royal Highness while at university, however this is still his official style as reported in the Court Circular. The future bride for William is also subject to speculation. Many young and eligible women have been linked to the prince, most recently Kate Middleton.

Like his mother, William is said to possess a strong dislike for excessive royal protocol, and desires greater personal independence. Some journalists have even speculated that William may choose not to become king at all, so frustrated by the monarchy's restraints is he. Needless to say, such claims are largely empty speculation at this point, as the Prince, like all members of the immediate royal family, does not give open interviews.

Prince William's 21st birthday party at Windsor Castle was marred by a breach of security which saw the self styled Comedy Terrorist Aaron Barschak scale the walls of the castle and enter William's party, storming the stage where William was giving a speech; Barschak was then arrested.

Prince William is styled as a Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, with the style His Royal Highness. As the eldest son of the future monarch, it is likely that he will be created Prince of Wales after his father's accession, although this is not automatic. He will, however, become Duke of Cornwall upon his father's accession.

On his 18th birthday, his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II granted Prince William his own personalised coat of arms. His arms are those of the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom with a label for difference: Quarterly 1st and 4th, Gules three Lions passant guardant in pale Or (England) 2nd, Or a Lion rampant within a Double Tressure flory counterflory Gules (Scotland) 3rd, Azure a Harp Or stringed Argent (Ireland) the whole differenced by a Label of three points Argent the central point charged with an Escallop Gules. The Escallop Gules is in reference to his mother, the late Diana, Princess of Wales, as the Escallop appears in the Spencer coat of arms.
