Why some think Kate will never be Queen

Prince William and Kate Middleton are one elusive couple. They've broken up and gotten back together so many times, it is hard to keep track of the status of their on-off relationship from day to day.

I've been doing some thinking and I've come to a conclusion. This Royal engagement is never going to happen. Why? because I've been thinking about what Serene Grace said about how she thinks Wills and Kate have already split. It think that they haven't split yet but are very close to it and this time it'll be for good. I think William has been distancing himself from Kate for a while lately. I believe that the main reason why they got back together last summer was because William was told by the palace to take her back because of the negative backlash he was receiving. I reckon they told him to take her back to boost his popularity, which was floundering at the time, until the palace PR machine could manipulate a tidier split. This would explain the recent negative press regarding Kate. Where the palace were protecting her before they are now allowing bits of negative press through so that when the split comes William can let her go and he won't get so much negative backlash because Kate is not as popular as she was. A year ago everyone was singing her praises and now she is getting negative press, and comment sections on the Sun and Daily Mail websites show that this is rubbing off on the public.

William's stint in the armed forces plus his recent increase of Royal duties is a manipulative move on behalf of the palace so it looks like William is sacrificing love for Royal duty. Result: William emerges still as the big hope for the Monarchy. Kate is probably resenting this but whether or not she can see what is coming remains to be seen.

Since they got back together Wills and Kate have hardly been seen together. They haven't been seen together since the photos of the two at Windsor before Christmas. She has been ignored by the Royals and she has been ignored by William. She was left out when Wills went for that dinner with Camilla. She reportedly went ballistic but it is William's way of slowly pushing her out. It is rumoured that Charles didn't go because he was disgusted that Wills had left Kate out but also because he had been photographed with her at Balmoral and didn't want to be seen as being two-faced.

William doesn't want to be seen with Kate. He didn't want to get back with her, he hates being with her but the palace told him to until they had him in a position where he could let Kate go. Result: they are together at the minute but Wills is avoiding her at all costs. I bet he has barely seen her since those photos of the 2 before Christmas and he got his friends to take her to that show because she was probably moaning at him being away and he wanted them to take her off his hands so he didn't have to bother with her. Plus he doesn't want take her out himself because he doesn't want to be photographed with her. The nightclub incident last summer when he complained about the paps. Most of his problem wasn't the paparazzi but the fact that he was being photographed with the one person he didn't want to be photographed with.

He turned up late at that photo exhibition in London and went in at the backdoor. However it was supposed to be a secret and he didn't want to be photo'ed but he was spotted by paps. Result: photos of Wills looking very annoyed because he had been caught. Since Christmas there have been no photos or outings of the two together. William has his RAF training as an excuse not to see her. He was not seen at her birthday because RAF training had begun which was perfect timing meaning that William couldn't attend and therefore avoid the risk of being photographed with her and her family. Something which he does not want to happen because it'll fuel engagement rumours which will not help with his and the palace's plan to get rid of her.

For the last year Wills has been very off with Kate. Body language and facial expressions like he almost hates her or hates having her around. Also when seen with her he is either drunk or looks totally miserable. Note he seems to drink a lot when he is having to deal with a personal issue i.e. Diana and now it seems Kate. She is a burden to him now. It's like have a zit that won't go away. People in [the] press are quoted as saying that these two are closer than ever. I disagree. This relationship is just limping along.

There will never be an engagement between these two. Wills is going along with the palace plan. He wants to dump her and would never have got back with her if it wasn't for the fact the palace were worried about his reputation. After the whole Diana/Charles marriage another heir to the Throne with a battered reputation will not do and the palace was going to ensure that Will's reputation was going to stay intact.

That means William dragging out the relationship until the palace says it's OK to let her go. That means firstly Wills carries on with his royal duties and career to boost his popularity and at the same time they need to sort Kate out. Kate wants a career in photography so William and the palace need to speed this process up because once she is settled into a career he can let her go instead of just dumping her so that people accuse him of being a cad and leaving her with nothing. So William gets good old Testino involved to speed up the process of her finding a career. Clever boy, William. Plus Kate's birthday with her parents, their Caribbean holiday away from the Royals and the possibility of fueling more engagement rumours and now the career is almost trying to save her dignity for when she is dumped. The grins are for the cameras. She's trying to be brave. I think maybe she can sense a split so she's now backing herself up for when it comes. Her outing with his friends, not only because William is trying to avoid her, but so she can maintain good relations with them for when she and Wills split. I think deep down she knows she's lost him.

Serene Grace believes they have already split but I say not yet but it is almost there. It looks like they have already split because they are never seen together anymore. Though I think not yet but William has almost got to the point where he can cut the strings of this relationship. It’s only a matter of time now. Though I hope he doesn't leave it too long because the longer it drags on the more people will expect an engagement. Kate won't be at Peter and Autumn wedding because the Royals have been ignoring her for a while and therefore I don't think she will be included. They know what William and the palace are planning and they are going along with it. The last thing they want is to be seen giving Kate wedding invites when they are about to throw her out for good and therefore they'll leave her out and continue to leave her out. They don't want her to think she is in when in fact she isn't. Kate is a girlfriend and that is all she'll ever be.

Result: no engagement and no royal wedding. The palace PR is probably ready by now to allow an easier break-up than last time. Instead of last time where there were attacks on Kate's family and attacks on how William was so cruel to her. The excuses will be career and Royal duties as the reason behind the split. Therefore Kate gets off with her dignity intact and a career. Wills gets off with his reputation intact and the Royal hope for the monarchy is saved. If you notice the engagement rumours have died down since Christmas and I think the press can sense that this isn't going to end in the fairytale wedding that they'd hoped for. It may even end quietly and there will be no announcement so like Serene said it could already have happened. Though I think the palace will let everyone know eventually and they're going to have to in order for Wills to move on probably or the press will continue to write him and Kate as a couple. Though this time it'll be a smoother break-up. PR will see to that. These two are finished I'm afraid.
