The Daily Express claims Kate Middleton is understood to have signed a confidentiality agreement to make sure she doesn’t reveal any royal secrets or sell her story to the press. Possible, but isn’t this speculation stemmed from Fergie’s recent interview with Oprah — which mentioned “confidentiality agreement” often?

Prince William’s girlfriend is believed to have signed the gagging contract when they briefly broke up in April 2007. The move was orchestrated by Clarence House to protect William should the relationship not go the distance. This not only explains Kate’s unwillingness to speak to the press but also why she has maintained such a low profile in recent years.

“Kate has been the soul of discretion throughout her relationship with William so she was never likely to speak to the newspapers but Clarence House wanted it in writing. It’s not very romantic but it shows how serious the relationship is.”

The Sunday Express has learned that royal insiders do not expect them to tie the knot until 2013. Speculation that they plan to marry in 2012 to coincide with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is wide of the mark, according to sources who say Palace staff do not want anything to upstage Her Majesty’s landmark occasion. Next year is also unlikely, with William starting his tour of duty in RAF Valley and Prince Philip’s 90th birthday in June.

Although the pair are said to be enjoying life away from the public gaze at William’s rented cottage on Anglesey, sources close to the Middletons say they are worried that Kate’s image is being irreparably damaged by her state of “limbo”. As one source put it: “There’s a sense Kate has been told to put up and shut up which is all well and good for William but doesn’t do much for her own reputation. She’s being portrayed as a doormat when she is anything but.”
