Prince William and Kate Middleton always appear to be happy and united in all of their endeavors,
and many fans believe that they truly are a perfect match. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
recently celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. To celebrate the special occasion, photographer
Chris Floyd took some commemorative photos of the Cambridges, and he opened up to Us
Weekly shortly after and said that William and Kate were a delight to work with. Floyd
stated,
"I would say that they were just like any married couple [...] who seemed to just love
being very happy in each other's company. It was that straightforward. [...] I just
said, 'Look, this is your 10th anniversary, just be the couple that you are with each
other and forget that I'm here."
Then, for the 2021 holiday season, the Cambridges shared their annual holiday card on Instagram
saying,
"Delighted to share a new image of the family, which features on this year's Christmas card."
Of the picture perfect snap, Kensington Palace revealed in a statement,
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to share a new photograph of their family.
The photograph, which features on Their Royal Highnesses' Christmas card this year, shows
The Duke and Duchess with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince
Louis in Jordan earlier this year."
In the photo, Prince George looks more grown up than ever as William and Kate look like
the ideal couple who do not have a care in the world. But is all of that about to change
when the weight of one day becoming king becomes a reality for William? While William and Kate
appear to be the perfect royal family, one relationship expert is now claiming that their
happily ever after may come with a few bumps in the road as they move up the ranks of the
monarchy.
According to the Express, Prince William and Kate Middleton appear to have an easy way
about their relationship for now. However, all of that could change as they continue
to take on more responsibility within the royal family. Relationship expert Neil Wilkie
tells the outlet that he predicts there could be some tough moments ahead for the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge when the time comes for William's father, Prince Charles, to ascend
to the throne.
The expert admits that William and Kate have had a fairly easy time in their relationship
thus far, but the future may be a bit more difficult for the royal couple. As Wilkie
told the Express,
"The next bump in the road will be when Queen Elizabeth dies, and Charles becomes king.
[...] That's going to be the point at which William will have a clearer idea of how many
years it's going to be before he becomes King."
Wilkie went on to explain,
"There'll be a change in the way in which the royalty governs the country because Charles
has got different ideas to Queen Elizabeth. So, it'll be interesting to see whether King
Charles just holds the fort for William or whether he tries to be the king that he's
always wanted to be and maybe creates a more difficult handover for William."
"There's only room for one sovereign at a time, not two."
Things might get even more difficult for Prince William and Kate Middleton when Charles becomes
king. For instance, it's thought that the British people would prefer if Britain skips
over Charles in the line of succession, as William is the more popular choice for king.
An April 2021, Deltapoll Survey shared via Twitter revealed that 47% of British citizens
would prefer William as king over Charles, while only 27% are keen on the Prince of Wales
taking the throne. Among British women, a full 55% want to see Charles' son take the
throne over Charles. However, Deltapoll co-founder and director Joe Twyman made a point when
he tweeted the results of the poll, saying,
"This is obviously not decided by the British public, but Prince William is the top choice,
by some distance."
Indeed, the laws of Britain's constitutional monarchy ensure that Charles will become king
before William. With the pressure to keep up his popularity weighing on William, will
this also cause issues with his marriage to Kate? Only time will tell.
