The End is Nigh

Having ranted about their pre-engagement engagement announcement a couple of weeks ago I can’t say I was surprised to wake up this morning and hear of the parting of ways of Kate Middleton and Prince William. I was even less surprised as yesterday I received an anonymous tip that I should go and put some money down on such a sad event. Having had a top tip for the national last year which lost me some much needed cash I chose to err on the side of safety and not let myself anywhere near a bookies. Would that I had for it would have made my weekend. However, I guess I can think of this karmicly -although I did not win loads of money for betting on other people’s mishaps I have finally been sent my last 4 years bank statements so I can claim back any unfair charges.

The saddest part of the whole thing, apart from the fact that I think Kate is going to have to publically get over the love of her life, is that whatever the outcome her life is irrevocably changed forever. On the one hand she could stay one of the media’s favourites developing her name as a bit of a style icon and doing good works, which is in itself hugely stressful. Or she will be forgotten and pushed aside for William’s latest club snog which as you can imagine, would be very hard on the confidence. I have no doubt that she will continue to handle herself well in the public eye but as we have seen with the likes of Reese Witherspoon and dare I say, Princess Di.

I hope that for once the media is fair. I think that Kate is in a position we can all relate to but also uniquely one of the few people who can claim that they were nearly engaged to the future King of England. xx
