SO WHY DID THEY BREAK UP


It was always going to be the top story for the Sunday's but I was suprised by the different angles managed to take at least in their headlines.

The Sunday Mirror broke away from the main theme prefering to describe what William was doing the night before the news broke.WILLS' £11K BOOZE BINGE

relating how the Prince was downing copious amounts of Dom Perignon with his pals and dancing to the Rolling Stones.

Its former Royal correspondent James Whitacker went further when he seemed to suggest that we all had a close escape as the Middleton family were not posh enough for the family describing how Mrs Middleton greeted the Queen with "Nice to meet you and used the word "toilet "instead of "Lavatory"

Whilst it also tarcks down the beauty who was caught dancing with the Prince for her comments on the split:

"When I heard the news I couldn't believe it," said Lisa Agar, 19. "I am absolutely shocked they have broken up. They always seemed so good together and I always thought they would get married."
Last month she told the Sunday Mirror how she had "dirty-danced" with the Prince on a podium during a night out at Elements nightclub in Bournemouth"


The News of the World whose sister paper broke the story harks back to Diana and claims that the Queen intervened to halt the relationship

PRINCE William's five-year romance with Kate Middleton was dramatically killed off at a secret royal summit when the Queen said: "Don't rush down the aisle—we don't want another Diana."

The final death blow to Wills' relationship with his university sweetheart was delivered by grandfather Prince Philip.
He declared: "You can't string her along for ever."


The Telegraph goes down a simliar route but this time it is Charles who is to blame.

"Prince Charles is understood to have been concerned that it was unfair on Miss Middleton - who has been constantly hounded by the paparazzi at her central London home - for his elder son to prolong the relationship indefinitely without marrying her. Unlike Prince William, she does not live in heavily guarded private palaces or have a personal bodyguard. "William was recently advised by his father to think about making up his mind one way or the other," said one source.
"Prince Charles has suggested to him that it would not be fair to keep Kate hanging on if he was not prepared to marry her sooner rather than later."


For the Express it is a disaster,its headline says that the "Princes are in crisis"

It is not William but Harry as well for according to the paper

"Hopes that the futures of the two dashing young princes had been mapped out lay in tatters after a double setback for the Royal Family.Her Majesty's wishes of seeing William find love and secure the Royal lineage with popular Kate Middleton evaporated as the couple announced they had split.And plans for Harry to serve with his regiment in Iraq hung in the balance amid renewed fears for his safety.Senior military officals are concerned that Harry's presence in war-ravaged Basra will also put the lives of other servicemen at risk as milita have made him their number one target."

The Mail puts it all down to two people falling out of love as they grow up,not an unusual occurence

"Prince William decided to break up with Kate Middleton because he felt the 'fun' had disappeared from their relationship, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The 24-year-old Prince told the girl many thought would be his queen that it was all over in a "face-to-face" meeting last weekend.
"He sat her down and told her, he didn't gild the lily," said a source. "


But also blame the future mother in law,"'Pushy' mother Carole is left devastated"

"Whether or not Carole was aware of the whispers among senior courtiers at Buckingham Palace that she was really "not the thing", her project was doomed from the start.
And this weekend her fervent hope that Kate would marry Prince William ended in bitter disappointment.
The woman who friends admit could have a "masters in social engineering" found herself and her daughter brought up short.
Of course Carole is devastated for her daughter's upset, as any mother might be. But her angst runs deeper.
According to one close source: "Carole is seething at her daughter being humiliated. All her plans have gone up in smoke and she really wasn't expecting it. She has invested years in this.


The Observer looks towards the prospects for the Middleton's reporting that the family home was under siege by 10.00 am

The family fear a media onslaught because a fierce bidding war is already under way to secure an exclusive interview with Middleton and those close to her. Max Clifford, the public relations consultant, said that if Middleton were to sell her story to a newspaper it would be the 'biggest kiss'n'tell ever'.
He added: 'I'm sure she wouldn't even dream of doing it. But she's in that position of being the hottest kiss'n'tell property in history. I've already had contacts from various national newspapers saying, "If she comes to you, tell us".'


Whether the media pressure was too much for the couple or whether simply they grew out of love,will no doubt become more apparent as the days go buy and I am almost certain that "friends" of the couple will give a verison of events to the press.

Whether the royal family has learnt from the mistakes of the Diana era,we will also have to wait to see.If the reports are true about the royal summit then possibly they have.

The one thing that this does show is that a royal story will sell papers and that any future Queen of England will come under the gaze of the Press
