Do we think that they are happily married and all is going well?

They don’t really seem to spend a lot of time together. The video they released today (which I thought was really cute and better than the photos) is from last year and was the same time as their Christmas portraits with all the wood in the background. Seems weird that if you were spending a lot of time together you would have to get as much done as possible in the same go. That said...happily married is relative. Seems like they are both fine with whatever arrangement they have.

Hmmm do tell us how you know? Are you just spreading gossip or you are living with them? You do know that most people aren't tied at the hip, right?

I guess I know the same way you know any suggestion that they aren’t the happiest couple on the face of planet can’t be true!

That’s ridiculous. All of her status and wealth is tied to William. If they divorce, William’s wealth is protected because it’s all inherited. She would get a pittance much like Fergie and even Diana. She is the mother of George so if the monarchy survives she’d be invited to his coronation obviously. However, she would be locked out of every other privilege she currently enjoys — unless William decided to follow Andrew’s lead and allow her to live in one of his houses. Kate is especially vulnerable because her parents also live in one of William’s houses. Though Pippa is pretty wealthy, so they’d be okay.

Anyone saying she doesn’t care about her attachment to William is delusional.

You don't know that. Why not put your fictional writing to good use and write a fan fic?

Actually, this piece of the puzzle is the only part that is established law. Inheritance is not considered marital property in the UK. William’s wealth is inherited, so it is protected. She would get no claim to his money or property.

If you think being the mother of a king carries any weight post-divorce, you have to look no further than Diana. She produced an heir and a spare and was disposable thereafter.

Why are you so obsessed with a potential divorce? If you have something new to add then please do, otherwise you are just regurgitating stale tabloid rumors ad nauseum.

DP. Is there some sort of rule that someone can’t make a post about a potential divorce? If you don’t want people to say negative stuff about the Cambridges it would be far more effective if you stopped commenting to shut down everyone with a different opinion of them on each post so that the thread will no longer be at the top.

(Btw all anyone knows about them good or bad are “stale rumors”. Unless you have some sort of inside connection?)

Oh, so the Meghan stans get all upset with one posting anything they perceived negative ( even if it isn't) and we are the ones who are "obsessive" if you keep repeating things you don't know for sure. My post that was deleted someone mentioned how cute Archie was in the latest picture and I said "how can you tell with the big black hat?" That was seemed negative or when someone wrote "how well adjusted he seems" and I said "how can you tell from a picture?" Both my comments were removed even though I didn't call Archie any names ( I wouldn't because he is an innocent child)

So please don't preach to us, pp.

Sweetie, you are also repeating things that you don’t know for sure. Or you are Kate? In which case I think your time is better spent putting a LoJack in William’s Range Rover.

child support exists in the UK and, even if William managed to avoid imposed child support, the royals aren't letting the next king attend state school while living in a charming house in Essex

Huh?! You’re the one insisting she doesn’t need William and would get money in the divorce. That only happens in your fan fiction.

I never claimed they were the happiest or saddest couple... I said I don't know. Nobody knows how a couple is except for that couple. Our family looked "perfect" from the outside but, wasn't. So unless you are living the life it is pointless to ask and even think you know. Because you don't.

Kate's parents don't "live in one of William's houses." He gave them some of the money for the down payment as a gift, possibly because they were upgrading to a bigger and more remote house due to privacy and security concerns after Kate joined the BRF.
https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/kate-middleton-and-prince-william-buy-house-for-middletons-2012266/

Property rights don't attach when someone gives money as a gift to buy a home. Kate's parents are successful business owners and are wealthy (at least by normal standards) in their own right. Your suggestion that the Middletons are somehow financially dependent on William is ridiculous.

Not PP. I agree that he might not have an ownership interest in their home (although we don’t really know how it was structured). But you are seriously delusional if you think her parents are wealthy. If they were they would not need financial assistance to purchase a bigger/more remote house for security concerns or not. Rich people don’t take money from their kids. Slash they would have already had sufficient security in place if they were really that wealthy.

I'm the PP you're responding to. Obviously, none of us know what the Middletons' net worth is, but it has been estimated to be quite high (up to $67M). The high estimates are likely too high, and likely a significant portion of that wealth is non-liquid, as it's derived from the ownership of their business (which is apparently valued at about ~$40M). But the Middletons have been UMC/wealthy for years. They put Kate and her siblings through exclusive boarding schools and bought Kate and Pippa ~$2M apartment in a fancy part of London before they were married. So they aren't in the "wealth league" of the BRF or billionaires, like Pippa's husband's family, but they certainly aren't dependent on being in William's good graces to finance their lifestyle.

"Sweetie" where did I say I know what is going on with anyone? I have said I don't know for either couple. If they divorce or stay together it has zero impact on my life. All I will say is Meghan's track record of ditching people is real although with baby #2 they could stay longer than her normal two years and out. I don't wish their divorce but, I would not be surprised. Catherine and William have already been together 20 years ( 10 married) could they divorce? Of course. But if I was betting I would bet on their marriage over Meghan and Harry for sure.

That’s true. Child support does exist in the UK. Nobody was suggesting that the children would want for anything.

However, Charles pulled security from his ex-wife and she was dead within a year after their divorce. Even with that history he had no qualms about pulling security from his second born son. If you think Kate Middleton would get treated any better in a divorce you’re living in an alternate reality called wishful thinking.

And Diana was from an aristocratic family. She still died within a year of her divorce.

There’s wealthy. Then there’s wealthy enough to afford security.

It’s just fascinating how much his hair changed his whole appearance. Like his teeth are terrible but somehow they weren’t as noticeable when he had a head full of hair.

Hair loss exposed his very tall forehead. As his face appears longer, his teeth appear narrower. That's the optics of it.

It’s so true. He was objectively good looking as a teen.

This is a strict formality. If your implication is that in the event of a Cambridge divorce (which there's no reason to assume there will be), the Queen/Charles/William would get full custody of the kids and somehow lock Kate out, there's no way that would happen. It's 2021, and the public backlash to that would probably take down the monarchy.

Okay, Kate might lose security, along with a lot of other perks of being a member of the BRF, in a divorce. Maybe. As the mother of a future king, she would probably get a settlement of at least $20M and some perks, like lifetime housing in London (which is what Diana got). If she were offered a horrible settlement, she wouldn't have to take it. As a high-ranking, popular former member of the BRF, she would be offered lucrative opportunities if she were willing to talk. She's not in a comparable situation to Fergie at all. She also has parents who are very comfortable financially and have demonstrated that they're willing to help her.
