Catherine, Duchess of Eyeliners and Cambridge, has a new job! OMG, WORK. Whatever shall she do?!? It was just announced that Kate, Prince William and Prince Harry are the ?Official Ambassadors? for the 2012 Summer Olympics, which is being held in London. This is Kate?s second ?job? since marrying Prince William ? a few months ago, she also signed on as a patroness to her first charitable organization, which just happened to be her husband?s. Considering how the goalposts keep shifting for Kate to sign on to do some actual royal work, it comes as a surprise that they?re announcing her involvement in the promotion of the Olympics.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have added a new title to their resumes.
The royal newlyweds ? along with William?s brother, Harry ? have been named Official Ambassadors for the 900 Great Britain and Northern Ireland-based Olympic and Paralympic athletes competing in London?s 2012 Olympic Games.
The trio will join 27 of Britain?s most esteemed Olympians who were also appointed as ambassadors.
?Catherine, Harry and I are honoured to be Ambassadors for Team GB and Paralympics GB. London hosting the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will inspire so many people ? particularly the young ? to be the best they can be,? William, 29, told Us Weekly in a statement Thursday.
?We are hugely looking forward to this incredible sporting competition, but are also looking beyond next summer?s Games to the springboard it will provide for future success and excellence,? his statement continued.
The royal couple?s participation in the Olympic ambassador program follows The Queen?s patronage of the British Olympic Association.

I?m not completely sure what this ambassadorship will entail. Probably lots of photo ops before the games, maybe even some interviews encouraging people to buy tickets and travel to London for the summer, and then once the games begin, William, Kate and Harry will be present at many of the big events. And Kate probably won?t be pregnant, right? She?s going to WAIT.
By the way, I?m actually kind of worried about London for the games. I don?t think the Brits are as disorganized as, say, the Greeks were in 2004, but China in 2008 really set an amazing standard for production value and preparedness. Can London live up to that? The FBI is wondering too ? there are LOTS of security concerns.

Oh gaad. They?re going to be all over the newstands. Enough of these two already. Doesn?t Britain have anyone else they can drum up? We don?t need any more over-exposed Royals, smiling and acting like they care about the common man.

Why does William alway say ?massively? and ?hugely? to describe excitement ? it?s so weird. Just say ?very.?

I bet it?s a Brit thing Talie. Or if not a Brit thing at least a Royal thing.
Oh and Kaiser you?ve got it all wrong. She won?t wait, now she?ll be even more determined to get knocked up, because then she won?t have to appear at most of the events because of security concerns over the unborn child. It?s another way to postpone any ?work?

The comment about Greeks being disorganised was unnecessary ? especially given the fact that the final product was quite spectacular.

Called it!
No way was she going to be pregnant during the Olympics! Or close to it. Would not be good for business.
It is called ?The Firm? is it not?
I need to go collect some bets?

Exactly, she?d be too scared to look ?fat?

I thought the London Olympics was going to be about youth and the future? Why would they assign members of royalty ? one of the most ancient and obsolete roles there are, represent this Olympic Game?

Princess Anne is on the International Olympic committee, and her daughter is trying to qualify for Team GB, so perhaps they wanted glamour over functionality.

Interview? Waity, who is nearing 30, cannot even string a proper sentence together. God forbid we hear her talk again.
And am I the only one who thinks China?s opening ceremony was a borefest? It went on for an eternity.

I feel like the royals entrench themselves into all of these do-good campaigns, but none of them actually involve ?work.? It?s great to smile in front of the cameras while getting to shmooze with elitists and stars while sipping on cocktails and looking fabulous ? plus front row tickets to the Olympics (Free of charge, I might add). But where?s the actual charity? I have yet to see it from Kate in particular.

Lainey totally called it months ago ? she said they no way would they want her preggo til after the Games. Wouldn?t want the pictures and the steeze all messed up with maternity wear. That therefore they?d schedule her pregnancy after the games. If they?re the Ambassadors of the Games totes makes sense.
