If experiencing your parents doing bad/immoral/unhealthy things would lead to the majority of their children not repeating certain patterns the world would be pretty different. And all statistics would be wrong. Scientifically you are more likely to divorce if your parents divorced. That doesn’t mean it’s a given but that the chances are slightly higher. So whatever problematic behaviour and general life situations (divorce mustn’t be a problem but can absolutely be the best and healthy option) W&H experienced with their parents doesn’t make them immune to going down the same path. No matter how adamant they might be to not repeat it. It’s also not a 100% chance they will repeat it either. Charles and Diana are/were perfectly imperfect humans with great strengths and flaws. Just like everyone else.
Is Wiliam save from ever cheating? No. But we have nothing but hearsay about their time in university and even less about their marriage. Still waiting on the person that was actually involved in the cheating to confirm it. It’s always “open secret”, “same circles and every knew”, “a friend knew”. No one ever came forward that has slept with Wiliam or saw him kissing someone else with their own eyes.
What is a pretty save bet is that two people in a relationship of 20+ years have experienced difficulties, arguments, ups and downs but also aren’t running around and sharing those with strangers. I am sure they have confidants they trust but I wouldn’t fault anyone to chose to portrait what they feel is the good side of their life. They have never acted as if or claimed they were so extra, so passionately and desperately in love but have always acted more understated and calm. They chose to never be over physically when strangers were around. Who knows if they are in private. As long as both are fine there is nothing to criticise. Not every successful and happy marriage and partnership has to be a madly in love romance novel.
At this point it doesn’t matter if Kate will turn up perfectly beautiful, healthy and happy.
People will find a “limp” or a strange look to confirm she had a stroke, tell us how they recovered from their coma in just two weeks, that she just sticks it out in her marriage and that he is definitely a cheat and she is either suppressed, payed a lump sum or a calculating b***h playing for the crown, she was tube fed but is obviously still on her ED, or on drugs, have experts comparing photos and declare all the face lifts she had…. There is no way to get in front of such rumours. You are always only reacting and there is no way to reason with gossip. Let’s hope KP just shuts up, the Walses go on with their life and we can enjoy the gossip.

Oh and I am still eagerly waiting for whatever was supposed to be coming out last week, or the week before, or this weeks or “soon”. When will that soon be? In 15 years?
