We totally predicted that this would happen, that US talk shows would all be tripping over themselves to land that exclusive interview with Kate Middleton and Prince William when they make their way over to NYC next month. As we already know, Will and Kate will be unveiling their new charity during the visit, but they also have three whole days to do everything else they want to do. There will no doubt be several photo ops – especially with Prince George – but the biggie here will be the major media interview. Now, the only question is – will it be GMA? Or will it be the Today show?
Will Kate Middleton and Prince William be questioned about their rumored marriage trouble and time they spent apart recently, when Kate left Kensington Palace to spend several weeks with her mom at Bucklebury? Once Kate and Will are on American soil the NYC media can and will ask them anything they like – unlike in the UK where the media treat the royals with much more respect than they deserve.
You’d think that Kate Middleton would have some level of loyalty to the Today show, considering that her own sister, Pippa Middleton, is currently in talks for a media correspondent job there. But then again, James Middleton just made an appearance on Good Morning America to shill Kate’s second pregnancy, so it’s not like they don’t have their hand in the game either.
One particular source told Radar Online that the battle between morning shows was just beginning, explaining, “As TODAY gets closer to taking over the number one position once again, both shows will continue to duke it out to get the best guests. It’s never been a more fascinating time in morning news, and demands that the networks put on the best show possible every day.”
Right now, the whole world will be watching Kate Middleton, Prince William, and Prince George when they arrive in New York, and that will mean that whoever nets this interview has probably guaranteed themselves job security for the foreseeable future.
