Kate Middleton
Gossip

Rumors of a royal wedding are intensifying as CBS says it's no longer a question of "if," but "when" Prince William and Kate Middleton will walk down the aisle.

They're both 27, and have been together, "more or less," for eight years.

The latest rumor is that William and Kate have come to an "understanding," if not an engagement. They are headed down the path to marriage - just not now.

That's stating the obvious, according to one source, who says, "Everyone believes Prince William and Kate Middleton will be together, eventually married."

The latest report claims is likely based on plans for the couple to wed before William's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, marks 60 years on the throne in 2012.

That means Prince William and Kate Middleton have just three years to tie the knot - and the clock is ticking: "She has to learn to speak in public," says a royal family observer. "We've never heard Kate Middleton speak, and she's a shy girl."

"She will be having media training."

Another celebrity gossip report in Britain says William will be spending some time with his father, Prince Charles this month, and teasingly asks, "Will they discuss a wedding announcement? Wait and see!" We're totally convinced.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have done their best to keep their relationship quiet.

But that's a challenge when you're British royalty and all.

Therefore, it was major news across the Atlantic over the weekend when witnesses spotted rare moment of public affection between the two as they walked from a post-polo match party near Windsor, England.

"William spent about 40 minutes at the party after his match, and then picked up Kate and they wandered back to the car," a source told People. "He put his left arm around her back and there was plenty of smiling between them."

There was plenty of bodily fluids exchanged between them later, too, we're sure... if you know what we mean!

Kate Middleton? She's Prince William's main squeeze.

Study the pictures below and let us know which of these Royal women you'd rather... well, you know...

Evidently, we're not alone.

A man has been arrested in Great Britain after stolen pictures of Prince William and girlfriend Middleton were offered for sale to a newspaper.

According to Great Britan's The Sun, an individual reported that a camera had been stolen in London late last week. Within an hour, two men using false names contacted the newspaper offering to sell photos of the prince. Geniuses, these were not.

The images in question reportedly included numerous shots of Prince William and Kate Middleton on their recent vacation in the Caribbean last month. The publication – which described a few as "sexy snaps" – delivered the photos and a dossier of information to London's Metropolitan Police.

"A 25-year-old man was arrested ... on suspicion of theft from a motor vehicle and handling stolen goods," a police rep confirmed to People Magazine.

Prince William received his "wings" at England's Royal Air Force graduation ceremony on Friday. And guess who was cheering him on every step of the way?

The Prince's lovely, on-again, off-again, definitely-now-on-again girlfriend Kate Middleton. She's dreamy.

Prince William, who trained for three months, became the fourth successive generation of the monarchy to be an RAF pilot.

"William was very good," his commander told the Associated Press. "I was very impressed by his flying skills. He had a natural handling ability and he was very quick to learn."

Big Will's brother, Prince Harry, who recently returned from military service in Afghanistan, was not at the ceremony; he's still on holiday with girlfriend Chelsy Davy.

Prince William and girlfriend Kate Middleton made it clear last night: they are back together!

The famous British couple got down up on the dance floor at a raucous (and risqué!) charity event in London.

According to People, Middleton kissed her longtime boyfriend as the pair showed off their dance moves as though they were Karina Smirnoff and Mario. The price twirled his gal around as they boogied to Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti" and the Guns N' Roses classic "Welcome to the Jungle."

"They looked happy and so in love," a witness said. "Kate was smiling so widely and they looked like there was no one else in the world when they were dancing."

The pair â€" plus Prince Harry, who's just back from his African holiday with Chelsy Davy â€" were attending an event for The Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund. (Henry, a school pal of Harry's, died in a car crash in 2002.)

With all the attention Carla Bruni is receiving these days for possibly becoming the First Lady of France, the likely future Queen of England has gone relatively unnoticed.

But here's a shot of Kate Middleton and her younger sister Pippa.

The pair partie dat the Kitts Club in London last night to celebrate Kate's 26th birthday. Where, we can't help but wonder, is Prince William?

Kate Middleton celebrates her birthday... without Prince William. Is this on-again-off-again couple off again?

Prince Harry and Prince William enjoyed a night out on Wednesday at the Boujis Club in Kensington, England. Joining them was on-again/off-again girlfriend of Prince William, Kate Middleton. Great to see they're still an item!

Also joining the royals and KM was Virgin heiress Holly Branson, daughter of Richard Branson, who bears a slight resemblance to the girlfriend of Prince Harry, Chelsy Davy - who, sadly, wasn't on hand for what looks like a fun evening of revelry.

Unfortunately, the celebrity photo agency or agencies who spotted Prince William and Harry out with Katie Middleton and Holly Branson didn't get any pics of them together. But what can you do. Here are some pictures of them individually...

Kate Middleton, Prince William, Holly Branson and Prince Harry like to party!

Give Kate Middleton some credit at least: the eventual Queen of England is wearing underwear in the photo below.

Therefore, she's already worlds classier than Katie Price, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.

Still, we can see a bit of a region that someone who may sit on the throne in a few years should probably keep completely covered up. You're not Tila Tequila, Kate. You're held to the highest of standards in Great Britain.

We like Kate Middleton a lot. But would Chelsy Davy ever be caught with her thong showing?

First, Jenna Bush and Henry Hager.

Next, Prince William and Kate Middleton?

A week after America's most powerful young couple got engaged, might Britain's royal pairing be next? Reportedly, the prince has taken his long-time girlfriend off to a secluded island in the Indian Ocean for a private, romantic break.

People magazine says the visit to the exclusive Desroches island in the Seychelles bolsters talk that couple is close to getting hitched.

The two split in April, but it was only a matter of weeks before they were back together again, meeting up for secret dates, including a party at army officer William's barracks. Now, there appears to be little doubt they're going strong once more.

Just like Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish. Minus the extramarital affair.

Prince William is on vacation from the army following a troop commanders' course. Middleton arrived from the U.K. late last week. She's very pretty.
