Mairead – she was a ‘buyer’ for Jigsaw but left that job about 18 months ago and now ‘works’ for her parents party accessory business from home.

Camilla was living with Charles for years before they got married, so I don’t see what the big deal is about that. William & Kate obviously love each other and want to be together.

But after his parents’ disastrous union, William is no doubt gun-shy about marriage. The monarchy was in utter turmoil when Charles & Diana divorced, and at one point people didn’t want Charles to be king. So this is a huge step for William to take, both as an individual and as a future head of state.

Kate has been criticized for not being more demanding, but I think a royal wife is far better off being the accommodating type. Most of royal life is proscribed and if she has a problem with that, she would never be happy as a royal. William is well aware that a big reason Charles & Diana broke up is because Charles wanted a companion whose job was to support him, while Diana was far more concerned with the world’s problems than with his. In this aspect Camilla is a better fit with Charles’s needs.

OK – so let’s make everything acceptable. If it feels good – do it. I want to do it because everyone else is doing it – where is personal responsibility?

Maybe this world is such a mess because people want to make their own rules.

Charles and Diana’s marriage did not fail because they did not live together first –

I know – lets make marriage illegal – who needs it – it’s outdated, uncool, takes work and is inconvienient and requires a person not to be totally self centered . . . much easier to just mess around

I had a neighbor tell me: “Don’t move in with them before marriage, cuz you know the saying “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free””

That saying only works if you consider sex the only thing a woman has to offer and the thing she has to barter with to be taken care of by a man..

She has no career of her own, she does nothing but have a good time and dreaming about becoming a princess.

I see nothing laudable about that in the 21 century.

What is the difference between Katie Holmes who wanted to become a bigger movie star (or revive her dying career) and Kate M. from England?

I do agree that his family is one dysfunctional family and many of them don’t do anything by attend formals and socials, just like Kate.
Perhpas she does belong to such family.

However, at least William and his brother are serving their country.
I think he can do better.

Watching The Tudors (I know, LOL!) taught me a lot about how English royalty used to play fast and loose with social conventions. Then came Queen Victoria and the whole outlook changed completely. The scandal of Edward and Wallis Simpson, and then later, Charles and Diana’s marriage/divorce, has probably made the entire Royal Family completely nervous and bonkers about the institution of marriage. Edward the younger and his wife Sohpie lived together for a time before they married, and they seem to be doing fine. Charles and Diana did not live together, and look what happened to them. Andrew and Fergie lived together but went bust. I think William must be scared out of his mind and that has nothing to do with how lovely Kate is or isn’t, but everything to do with what he witnessed between his parents when he was a little boy.

He is the future king of England – he needs to be an example. Just because a lot of people live together doesn’t make it right. If he respected her, he would marry her – otherwise it’s just room mates with benefits – not a great foundation to build a good lasting relationship on. If she is good enough to bed – she should be good enough to wed.

While William looks a lot like his father, I think he truly cares about Kate. Charles was always in love with Camilla even though he got married to Diana (never understood that one) and definitely cheated on Diana. As far as we know, Kate is the only woman in the picture. They may have their own understanding when it comes to marriage, none of us actually knows. I’ve got a family member whose been with his gf for about 6 or 8 years, they’re living together and expecting a baby but have no immediate plans to marry. It’s the 21st century guys.

It’s 2009. Living together before or without marriage is not exactly a rare thing.

I think she’s really beautiful. He’s going to be bald by 30, but hopefully he’ll rock the baldness.
