Prince William and Kate ALREADY live together?

[trof]

Pre-nuptials?
Without the benefit of clergy?
According to CBS News.
REALLY?
I didn't know that was 'on' for the royals.
Guess I'm just a geezer with old fashioned ideas.
???

Caveat: Miz t. and I did co-habitate for a short time prior to marriage many years ago, but I'm not the (possible) future King of England and 'protector of the faith' of the Church of England.
:eyes:

[some guy]

1. good on them.

:)

[trof]

2. Decorum is dead.

Possibly chivalry too.
:-(

[Bucky]

14. If he marries the girl, then chivalry's still kickin'

Of course, chivalry sometimes requires not kickin.

[Lucian]

3. Oh noes!

Teh world is gonna end now!

[SOteric]

4. They have FaceBook pages, too.

Welcome to the 21st century, my fellow geezerly friend. :toast:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

5. They live a very modest life in Wales...

...where William is a search and rescue helicopter pilot. Apparently they have no servants and they *GASP* go to the market themselves!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

6. especially considering the whole Diana/virgin thing. Funny, the difference a generation makes.

[grasswire]

9. the "virgin" thing was to ensure that firstborn of the union...

....was actually sired by the heir to the throne and not by someone else who might be thought the offspring of the heir. It had nothing to do with the relative virtue of the bride.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. no shit

[Bucky]

15. This explains the English fondness for buggery

I mean, other than the intrinsic funness of buggery.

7. They were flatmates in college.

It's not that much of a shock, really. I'm glad they were allowed to live together before the wedding.

[madinmaryland]

8. Fuck. Endless months of speculations and adoration about the Royal Elites.

:mad:

Un-recced.

[struggle4progress]

10. So ... I've been wondering ... how exactly DOES Prince William Sound?

[LynneSin]

17. And how did Prince Albert get into a can?

[Haole Girl]

11. After all the divorces the royal family's had...

it was a good idea (IMHO).

[rurallib]

13. worried about Will's reputation?

or perhaps Willy's Wonka?

[LynneSin]

16. They were roommates back in college (although not dating)

the Royals have entered the 21st century. No one really cares if Kate is a virgin anymore.

[dawg]

18. So .... that dude has a beautiful young woman in his bed ...

and I'm sleeping alone! What does he have that I don't?

I'm kind of a prince.

[trof]

19. What does he have? An unlimited expense account.

Pretty much.

[dawg]

21. Nah...it's not about the money.

The real-live prince thing tops that by a mile.


Plus, maybe she actually fell in love with the guy, and would have even if he had been a lowly accountant :P

[HipChick]

20. Meh..she's not that hot..a commoner to boot...

She's certainly no Diana..

[dawg]

22. Well, she's pretty on the outside.

In time, we'll all get to see what kind of woman she really is.

Even if she's no Diana, she's young, and has the chance to become that and more. Imagine what Diana could have accomplished with a faithful and devoted husband by her side.

[HipChick]

26. I don't think she's that attractive...How do you have those bags and lines under your eyes

already at her age?

[LibertyLover]

23. They live in Anglesea, near the base William is post to

I've read that one of the things they really like to do is get on William's Ducatti motorcycle and go down to the local pub. The people of Anglesea like Kate and William very much and are very protective of their privacy. I personally think it's a good thing they lived together to see if they really are compatible. Good on'em!

[applegrove]

24. Well that whole "has to marry a virgin" thing didn't go so well for Charles & Diana.

[Jennicut]

25. None of my married (and non married) friends lived apart. Ever.

I am 35. My best friend, who is 30, lives with her boyfriend. My sister in law lived with husband before getting married. My brother lived with his current wife before getting married. I moved out of my house at 24 and lived with my husband before getting married. Extremely common these days.
