Nonetheless, I wonder if the couple had their unusual for European royalty religious disparity in mind when they had someone (identified as their spokesman Hervé Verhoosel in one article) issue the following statement (which I don't think has been posted here yet) on their behalf when they announced their engagement. Given how private the couple are, there are not that many publicly known "differences" between them.

Translation: "From the importance family has for them to their personal investment in their professional lives, from their interest in contemporary art to travel, from issues connected to the environment and the future of our society to the importance of of taking the time to simply talk with friends. Even if they have some differences, they complement each other very well and open new horizons for each other. It is a really beautiful story."
It's possible, but that statement is so mild and vague and could really cover any number of differences between two people, not just religion or culture. I think if Laura and William wanted to emphasize the fact she is Christian and he is Jewish any more than mentioning the music at their wedding, they would have discussed it by now — of course, no one seems to have asked them.
It's also possible they are waiting until after they are safely married in order to avoid extremist attention, but given they are private citizens and people, it seems unlikely.
