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

Kate Middleton Is Allergic to Polo Ponies

Originally posted 01/28/2009 08:25AM

Bad news for Prince William: His girlfriend Kate Middleton is unlikely to be joining him in the saddle on his favorite ponies.

Middleton, 27, is allergic to horses, she revealed to a fellow polo fan.

Australian author Kathy Lette, who says that she approached the royal girlfriend at a polo match last summer, told Readers Digest that she spotted Middleton alone in a tent, watching the game with keen interest.

"I've got to pay attention to every second," Middleton told Lette when asked why she didn't come over and join the main party. "I'll be discussing the game in minute detail later on."

Lette also inquired why she didn't play polo herself. Middleton's reply? 'I'm allergic to horses."

Kate Middleton was on a roll Wednesday night – showing off her skating moves at a charity bash in London.

In a green sequined halter top and yellow hot pants, Middleton, 26, co-hosted an day-glo disco at London's Renaissance Rooms with a group of friends in a bid to raise $200,000 for a children's hospital ward.

Tom's Ward at the Children's Hospital in Oxford, England was set up in memory of Middleton and Prince William's close pal Sam Waley-Cohen's brother, Thomas, who died in 2004 after a battle with cancer.

"We wanted to do something fresh and new; something that would be fun and a bit tongue-in-cheek reflecting the lighter side of life; very much like Thomas was himself," Sam Waley-Cohen said in a statement.

Kate Middleton is on a mission – to have her society pals don roller skates and day-glo leggings in an effort to raise nearly $200,000 for a hospital ward that helps needy children.

Hooking up with fellow committee member Holly Branson, daughter of Virgin Airlines tycoon Sir Richard, Middleton (Prince William's girlfriend) is helping run the Sept. 17 event to aid Tom's Ward – named for the brother of a close friend – at the Children's Hospital in Oxford and the Place2Be, which provides counseling to 43,000 children and their families in 130 schools.

Tom's Ward was set up in memory of Thomas Waley-Cohen, who died in 2004 after a battle with cancer. It specializes in general surgery for sick or injured children.

While it has been reported that Princes William and Harry have both been invited to the event, their office would not comment.

Before he endures some rigorous special-forces training, Prince William let his hair down with a bit of island R&R alongside girlfriend Kate Middleton.

The pair, who after six years together still continue dating amid growing speculation of their being a royal engagement, were spotted in the Caribbean frolicking aboard a speedboat with pals.

Middleton, 26, waterskiied and relaxed in a black and white bikini, while Wills, also 26, chilled in blue board shorts.

"They only planned on a week there, which is a bit unusual, as they still have some time together before he continues military training," a royal insider tells PEOPLE.

Proud Kate Watches Prince William Become a Knight

Originally posted 06/16/2008 12:15PM

Kate Middleton took one step closer into the inner royal circle Monday, when she watched proudly as her boyfriend, Prince William, celebrated a distinguished honor from his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II: being installed as a knight.

For William, the ceremony served as an early 26th birthday gift (his actual birthday is June 21). But for his girlfriend of about six years, it was another first to be included in so grand an occasion.

While Middleton had attended William's graduation from army academy Sandhurst and his ceremonial finish of Royal Air Force training, she has not been at an event of such royal importance led by the Queen.
