"Miss Middleton should,like any other private individual, be able to go approximately her every day trade without this kind of intrusion. The situation is proving unbearable for all those concerned, and " it read.2008Once again,William was not around on Kate's birthday (as he'd recently enrolled in further military training), but the pair were in a much happier place and committed to a future together.
