Kate Middleton to get her own bodyguards

[AB Asks]

The princess in waiting has been given her own bodyguards which are to be taken as a sign that an engagement may well be on the cards. She will be guarded 24 hours a day, before she would have only been guarded if she were with Prince William. What do you think? They have only been back together for a few months.

Isn't that a bit intrusive, having a guard with her 24 hours a day? Wont they all feel a bit awkward when William comes round to give the crown jewels an airing?

Pity they can't guard her from the dysfunctional Windsor family, she seems like a nice kid

Frankly I am shocked that Kate needs guarding from Prince William.

He is a royal and should behave like one. OK, so his grandfather had his wicked way before he got married, but there was a war on then.

William, leave the poor girl along. There will be plenty of time for that when she is a burden on the taxpayer.

Apart from the media scum, who insist that they are a parasite to the taxpayer why is there a need for a bodyguard?
