The girlfriend of Prince William has reportedly turned down a rare invitation to
join the royal family for Christmas.
Kate Middleton, 24, has said she will only join them if she and the
future king get married, the Mail on Sunday reported.
Media speculation that the couple, together for four years since
meeting at St Andrews University in Scotland, could be about to get
engaged was fuelled when Middleton appeared Friday at William's graduation
from Sandhurst, the British military academy.
But despite their closeness, she has decided to spend the festive
season with her own family after the recent deaths of her two
grandmothers, the Mail reported.
"Kate has said she won't be going to Sandringham (the Queen's country
home) until she's a part of the family," the paper quoted a friend of
Middleton as saying.
"She has made it quite clear that she will only be at a royal Christmas
if she and William get married and that's not yet on the cards.
"We all know it's going to happen but it's not going to happen this
Christmas."
The friend reportedly added that Middleton and William keep a wall
chart with a tally of how many times newspapers predict they will get
married.

這對(duì)情侶在蘇格蘭圣安德魯斯大學(xué)上學(xué)時(shí)相識(shí)，兩人已交往了四年。上周五，威廉王子從英國(guó)桑赫斯特皇家軍事學(xué)院正式畢業(yè)，米德?tīng)栴D出現(xiàn)在他的畢業(yè)閱兵式上。這進(jìn)一步加劇了媒體對(duì)兩人即將訂婚的猜測(cè)。
據(jù)《每日郵報(bào)》報(bào)道，盡管兩人感情很好，但由于米德?tīng)栴D的祖母和外祖母不久前剛?cè)ナ溃运龥Q定今年和家人一起過(guò)圣誕。
《每日郵報(bào)》援引米德?tīng)栴D一位朋友的話(huà)說(shuō)：“凱特說(shuō)，因?yàn)樗屯€沒(méi)有結(jié)婚，所以今年不打算去女王的桑德靈厄姆私人莊園過(guò)圣誕。”
“凱特明確表示，她和威廉王子結(jié)婚后才會(huì)去王室過(guò)圣誕節(jié)。但目前他們還沒(méi)有結(jié)婚的打算。”
“他們遲早會(huì)結(jié)婚，但今年圣誕節(jié)是不可能了。”
據(jù)米德?tīng)栴D的這位朋友透露，米德?tīng)栴D和威廉王子還制作了一幅統(tǒng)計(jì)媒體預(yù)測(cè)他倆婚期總次數(shù)的掛圖。
