Just like Diana and Fergie before her, royal-in-waiting Kate is afraid dark forces are out to harm her.
Following a series of negative media reports directed at her, Kate Middleton fears that conniving palace insiders are deliberately trying to oust her from Prince William’s life.
William’s girlfriend was left mortified last week after sordid revelations in the UK press about the business activities of her pal Emma Sayle, who runs an underground sex club called Killing Kittens.
Last week The Sun newspaper linked Kate to the sleazy business, in a shocking exposé of the parties — which cater mainly for attractive, well-to-do young women.
In a damaging story headlined “Inside the sex club run by Wills’ girlfriend’s best pal”, the paper described in graphic detail the kind of hedonistic behaviour that happens at the hush-hush parties.
While there is no suggestion Kate is personally involved in the club or has ever visited it — and indeed the two women have not been seen publically together since training for a dragon boat race last year — sources say the mere fact that Kate has links to Emma is enough to do tremendous damage to the young royal-in-waiting’s reputation.
The timing of the revelations about the club — first aired in establishment newspaper The Times — could not be worse, with respected French magazine Point De Vue reporting that an engagement announcement for Kate and Prince William is being prepared by the palace.
