On this I agree. I just wonder how far she'll take it. Probably to the end. But several royal spouses have been 'acting out' in the 21st century. The Queen of Denmark's husband was such a rude, pouting man that not only did he die just after a six-month 'vacation' in Egypt but he also refused to be buried beside her in death because she wouldn't name him King.

The Queen of Spain's husband abdicated and left the country after controversy. He's been living abroad for a year and she didn't leave with him.

And then there's Monaco which is the middle of a messy split at the moment but no word on divorce.

But looking at the Swedish royal family, Frederik and Mary of Denmark, Letizia and Felipe of Spain, Willem-Alexander and Maxima of the Netherlands, Philippe and Mathilde of Belgium, etc and seems like the younger royals are having far better luck than their parents and the older generation. Prince Albert of Monaco is in his 60s with multiple illegitimate children, I'm not sure I'd lump him in with the other young royals.

Felipe is 53. Phillipe is 62. Willlem-Alexander is 54. Frederik is 53. All of them are in Albert's age range who is 63.

And do they have multiple illegitimate children and much younger wives?

RE the illegitimate children - we don't know. Interesting you bring it up because last year for the first time the King of Belgium (since you mention their royal family) was forced to formally acknowledge his illegitimate daughter.

One that he insisted that he didn't have and the public wasn't aware of until she brought a paternity suit in the early 2000s. She's now an official Princess of the Belgians.

Look if it's very important to include Albert, who is a boomer, in a list of people he doesn't have much in common with, then suit yourself. I'm just not seeing the track record of failing marriages and rampant divorce in the current crop of royals who aren't boomers or silent generation. Nobody said they all had to have happy happy marriages, but they aren't all divorced either.

Let me clarify an addition - the 'boomers' had pretty nice marriages (on paper or in public anyway) throughout the 60s and 70s and into the 80s. They only went off the rails about 3 decades in when even their PR couldn't cover it up.

Do you acknowledge the fact that divorce rates are down especially amongst the elite? You seem to be arguing without basic facts.
Here are some for your reading pleasure.

"Divorce among college-educated couples who married before they had children is at levels as low as in the 1970s, before the wide adoption of the no-fault statutes made divorce much less of a legal nightmare."

https://time.com/5434949/divorce-rate-children-marriage-benefits/

Did you read your article? The divorce rate is dropping because marriage rates are dropping. (And its still pretty high imo at 40% of couples divorcing).

You are special, aren't you? From the article you didn't read:

"So yes, the people who are getting married are increasingly staying married. But that group is an ever-smaller and more privileged group of individuals. Marriage is becoming one of the many institutions from which the poor, less-educated and disadvantaged are excluded."

We're talking about the married royals. Not your broke friends from bumfuq wherever.

OMG half of the British Royal Family is divorced. Including most recently Anne's son Peter Phillips who was seen breaking Covid regulations with his booty call.

Give it a rest - your blue bloods don't have some special juice in their veins that makes them more likely to be faithful. In fact, the scrutiny puts their marriages under strain even more.

You're ridiculous. Keep on wishing and hoping for divorces and believing all the tabloid rumors you can get your hands on.

Prince William watched the Euro2020 match between Denmark and England with the Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark and their son the heir live.




He was also sitting with Boris and Carrie Johnson. Quite the turnout.

So much for Kate isolating! There is she shaking hands and strolling around Wimbledon today!
If she gets Djokovic sick before USO and the Olympics, I will truly hate her forever.

Not knocking her - royal box at Wimbledon is one of those perks of the job I’d hate to miss out on too,

For sure it is great! In 2020 William was there to congratulate the winner, I wonder why he was not there today? Novak Djokovic is trying to win the calendar-year Grand Slam, imagine being infected cause she can't miss it?

Kate, William and George are at the UEFA finals right now. I only saw one shot of them right after England’s goal at about the 2 minute.

Hmmm if the wife I was sharing a bed and a home with every night was told to self-isolate on Friday, would I as a husband be interacting maskless with medical professionals? I don’t think so…

I don’t think he was putting anyone at risk because I don’t think they “share a bed every night.” When he had covid there was never any story about Kate isolating either. In contrast to when Charles got covid and Camilla also had to self-quarantine.

Because Charles had Covid, dimwit. Kate does not have Covid was only exposed. If she tests positive, then it changes. We didn't hear about Kate isolating b/c we didn't even know William had Covid until 6 months after the fact.

Reading isn’t your strong suit. Or perhaps you are unfamiliar with the past tense? Even when we learned that William had covid there wasn’t a single story saying Kate and the kids isolated at that time. Presumably if they had that fact wouldn’t magically evaporate because 6 months elapsed. Also why do you think we found out that he had covid 6 months later? Is he somehow more important than his father and Boris Johnson or any of the other more important people in the UK who contemporaneously announced it? Also Prince Phillip spent his final years living separately from QEII so it wouldn’t really be that earth shattering for the Cambridges to also be living separately.

But only one person on this thread constantly brings it up. Why so interested if its not earth shattering? You (or someone with a similar one track mind) don't miss a beat to tie everything back to Rose. Why are you so obsessed? You seem to think Rose is at the center of every news item, rumor, decision, public outing, and on and on. So what? If she's a side piece she's going to stay a side piece. William isn't going to leave his wife for her, he's not going to repeat his father's mistake. He seemingly cares a lot more about his image to let that happen. But someone here seems to be breathlessly anticipating a divorce that will never happen.

Wills comes from an established bloodline of cheaters and monarchs who rule with impunity who cast aside wives like used napkins. Even Charles is trying to get his favorite mistress the title he insisted she never have and that's all due to him thinking his will is the most important.

What makes you think William isn't genetically pre-disposed to do the same?

Until the recent generation divorce has been exceedingly rare.

Because divorce was socially unacceptable and beheadings even more so.

Its 2021. What century are you in?

I'm in 2021. Divorce became more socially acceptable in Charles' generation. Prior to that, it was stigmatized at best, and scandalous frequently. No fault divorce laws only came about in the 1970s, a reflection of attitudes toward divorce undergoing a sea change.

Your head is going to explode if they don't get divorced. Divorce may be less stigmatized but divorce rates are actually going down, not up. After 10 years of marriage and several years of dating keep wishing and hoping they will become one of the declining stats. People getting married this days (not the 1980s and not 1580s) are more likely to stay married than ever before.

You can rein in your imagination about who you're arguing with. I wrote the bolded only as a response to the comment directly preceding it and wasn't one of the prior posters. I don't care what William and Kate do. I would be shocked if they divorced as that doesn't seem like Kate's "good girl" style, but whatever.

Wimbledon wasn't played in 2020 but he and Kate were definitely there in 2019. I'm thinking he skipped today because of Euro Cup. Since he is President of whatever they call their football association thing, maybe he had official duties or something that didn't allow him to attend both Wimbledon and Euro Cup. Plus, maybe a parent had to get Prince George ready and take him to the Euro Cup. He doesn't strike me as big a tennis fan as Kate (who is now head of AELTC since Duke of Kent is stepping down this year) so he stayed home with George while Kate did the Wimbledon/Wembley doubleheader.

Or, sure, further proof that Will and Kate are separated and a divorce is imminent.

Yes, right. I meant 2019. I am not sure what the comment about being separated is about though... I just don't want her infecting the GOAT.

Kate, William and George were at the Euro Cup match. They showed them during the game.
