The duchess waited 10 whole years.

Kate Middleton and Prince William are one of the most famous couples in the world, each of whom is under the gun. The Dukes of Cambridge love story is also known to almost everyone. However, there are secret aspects that have worried fans for years. One of the most popular questions that torment fans: why the famous couple for so long, up to 10 years, was not married? The answer to this question is finally there.

The dukes began dating at the university, but announced their commitment to the world only after 7 years. All these years, Kate has been the main target of the paparazzi and the haters, who have already given her the unspoken nickname of the bride “waiting forever.” According to rumors, even Prince Charles joked about this issue. Upon learning of the long-awaited commitment, he said, “Well, you’ve practiced enough already” …

At the time of the wedding, Kate and William had known each other for 10 years. He himself was sure that his beloved was an ideal candidate for the role of his wife and mother of his children. He had no doubts about their feelings either … Also, the couple already lived together, and the whole of Britain literally held their breath in anticipation. But the prince, despite public pressure, was in no hurry. What is the reason for such a long wait?

As royal expert Katie Nicholl asserts, the example of her parents’ marriage made a lasting negative impression on the prince. The eldest of Princess Diana’s children was afraid to repeat the bad experience, without knowing it, “copying” the behavior of her parents. Therefore, he firmly decided not to rush and not be persuaded by all means to have a family. “I knew that Prince Charles was persuaded to marry Princess Diana, because she was considered a suitable party,” says Cathy Nicholl.

William also claimed that he had no intention of getting married until he was 30 years old. But in the end, he broke this promise by presenting his beloved with a sapphire ring two years before this date. Today, the family of Kate and William, despite non-periodic rumors of problems and disagreements, is considered one of the strongest and happiest in the royal dynasty. So apparently the wait was worth it!
