Prince William and Kate Middleton’s ‘key to happy marriage down to naughty secret’
The Prince and Princess of Wales have certainly had to weather a great deal together over the course of their 20-year romance.
This year, the couple will mark their 14th wedding anniversary, and in recent years they’ve had to deal with the heartbreak of Kate’s recent cancer treatment; their ever-evolving roles after the death of the late Queen and sad feud with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. But there is one thing that keeps their relationship firmly on track, according to an expert.
Christopher Andersen, author of ‘The King’, has said it’s the couple’s playful side that acts as their secret weapon – and it’s something they’re passing on to their three children.
He told Fox News Digital: “William once described Kate’s sense of humour as ‘naughty’ and his own as ‘dirty’, and claimed that it was one of the most important things that drew them together.”
The author continued: “William and Kate have also passed their wacky, slapstick, Monty Python-meets-Benny Hill sense of humour on to the children. And like all parents of young children, William and Kate find themselves refereeing when the kids fight over the TV remote, or when the inevitable teasing that goes on between siblings turns into the equally inevitable wrestling match.”
Another thing the royal couple have in common is a competitive streak – although it seems Kate takes the crown. During an appearance on The Dog podcast, James Middleton admitted that the future King had found family games nights a bit too much. “The Middletons are quite competitive and they love a game, don’t they? And then you made poor William play, and he found it too competitive and actually used to make excuses,” host Emily Dean noted.
