To poster who said it’s well established that they broke up multiple times, were there more than two breakups during 10 years?

Twice is multiple times….

Meh- this isn’t any big whoop. Lots of couples breakup while they’re young and still dating and trying to figure things out. But yeah.. still waiting on proof of any affair or any friction at all after marriage

What proof are you expecting? A sex tape? Certainly you aren’t expecting William and Kate themselves to confirm?

Now that would be the day. The palace is so in lala-land they can’t even be honest about William’s lack of hair.

Is that supposed to be William?

It looks a little. . . German.

It looks like a young Prince Phillip to me

Wowza, you are right!

Wait...wasn't Phillip supposed to have a big 100th birthday celebration in June 2021? Did they steal his coin and give it to William because he died?!

But, she gets to wear a crown, so…. Yay.

You seem so invested in this story... why do you insist like it is the one true story?

You're addressing at least two different posters, fyi.

I posted that it seemed to be the accepted narrative that Kate followed William to St. Andrews but that I'm open to any refutation. That the opposite of being investing in "one true story."

Kate could have also gone there for the education.

The first school she was accepted to was the more obvious choice. I’m sure she switched to St. Andrews at the last minute for the education though. Tell me, are you interested in some nice beachfront property in Kansas?

Hilarious. She decided to take a gap year and attend a dramatically less prestigious university than the one she was planning on attending for her education?

She was what.....19? OK?

I believe that Kate took a gap year to attend St Andrews to align with William, but I definitely don't believe this rumor that she passed up on Oxbridge to do so. I am sorry, but no.

Looks like The Simpsons Mr. Burns, and he too would totally mint his own currency

It wasn’t Oxbridge lol. She turned down the University of Edinburgh which is also much better than St. Andrews.

So if she got into a great university, maybe shes a lot smarter than people on this board seem to think?

I literally have no idea how smart she is or isn't, but someone's ability to make public speeches isn't an indicator of their intelligence.

I don't think anyone was questioning her intelligence. It's more her lack of intellectual interest and effort to learn about issues she's taken up in a more than superficial way. I'm sure she's perfectly capable.

I do think she's shy or uncomfortable with public speaking, but so was Diana and Diana worked on it.

+1. Also, it’s not public speeches. Being an articulate communicator is one sign of intelligence, and it’s one area where Kate has notably been lackluster. She has had zero career ambitions, displayed zero intellectual interest in her purported areas of interest, and overall just doesn’t come off as particularly bright. Which is totally fine! She has a lot of other great virtues.

How do you have any idea about her level of intellectual interest? She is proficient in the topics she discusses and I’ve heard her talk - and demonstrate her fundamental understanding of - issues ranging from mental health to child development. You are making stuff up and it’s bizarre.

As for her career aspirations - she has a career. It’s being a working Royal and patron for myriad causes. That’s her job and will be forever, assuming she remains married.

Lastly, what do you expect from her public speaking? Like all royals, everything is scripted and she does fine. Kate’s no worse than Will. And she always seems engaged in her visits and with her hosts and the public at these events. What more do you expect?

As I understand it and how the British press reported it, Carol Middleton was responsible for persuading Kate to swap from Ed to St. A
No surprises there then.
