And that is the problem...he needs a combination of Diana, Fergie, Brigitte and Camilla.
From Diana, he needs someone who can just jump in the BRF and star performing engagements at his side and alone. When Diana was a worker bee for the BRF she was on and good. Its the other stuff that wasn't so good.
From Fergie he needs the passion. When Fergie was good and not causing drama for the BRF you got excitement. You got energy and personality (a little too much at times but sometimes it was good). And I am sorry....Andrew when he was with Fergie before the drama was a good Andrew. You could just see the electricity between them. All you need to do is look at the tapes when they first got engaged. Andrew's look was like WOW I can't believe this woman loves and gets me. William needs that. No safety zone for him.
From Brigitte he needs someone who can work like Diana but without the negative of Diana ---- attracting press for all the wrong reasons. Let's face it the press is always going to love a pretty girl and focus on her looks and her clothes. But you can do so without telling the world all of your baggage.
From Camilla he needs smoeone who is his soulmate, completes him and gives him a calming presence.
Not sure if Kate is that person.
I agree about all those different women and what they brought to their husbands and the royal family. I also get "nothing" from Kate--or maybe it's just from William and Kate together.
In one way I don't really want to write too much about William and Kate because it is all just speculation at this point. My feeling is just that if William really, truly loved Kate, not just as a companion but as this-is-the-woman-I-want -to-spend-my-life-with (and if Kate felt the same way about him) we would see it somehow. Either he would be engaged to her by now, or there would be more...something. I understand that William and Kate are both more on the quiet, reserved side, but even then, when a couple are truly in love, it shows. I was looking at a video of Edward and Sophie's wedding on YouTube recently and you can't get too much more reserved as a couple than they were on their wedding day. Not too many smiles. But there were moments when I saw Sophie looking at Edward and him swallowing hard and I realized a lot of that reserve was just due to nerves. Clearly they care a lot for each other and I have seen them looking at each other lovingly since their wedding, too.
As for Andrew and Sarah, it was written all over their faces when they were first married that they were totally in love with each other. And even Charles and Camilla--I don't like the way their "love story" took place but even I have to admit that Camilla is good for Charles; you can see their love when they're together. Charles just turned into a far more relaxed, happier version of himself when he married Camilla.
William and Kate, on the other hand--I don't know. I know chemistry is subjective. Maybe I would see something between them on their wedding day if they married. I do believe William and Kate care about each other and do love each other, but somehow whenever I've seen them together I have never had the sense that these are two people who have found their mates for life--just two people who are kind of long-term companions.
As long as we are going to speculate, I'm going to add that I don't know much about William, but I think from what I do know, William is a cautious sensitive person who was probably somewhat traumatized by the way his parents' marriage ended and his mother's tears and doesn't want to 1) have a failed marriage--therefore he is hesitant about marrying Kate, and 2) doesn't want to hurt anyone or be alone himself--therefore he is sticking with Kate indefinitely.
I know from studying psychology that children are affected by their parents' divorces, not so much in other areas of life as in the way they form their own romantic relationships. So it's definitely not a stretch to say that his parents' divorce has influenced William's attitudes to marriage. I can understand William waiting a few years before marrying...maybe as many as five or six...but he's been with Kate for longer than that now, I'm pretty sure. I don't see any rush for him to marry by his late twenties if he hadn't found the right person; but William has been with Kate for more than long enough now to know if she's right for him.
Maybe William would be hesitant about marriage no matter whether Kate was "the one" or not. But if so, then I think Kate is not strong enough for William; if he is unsure about marriage, he needs someone who has a lot of confidence in herself and can tell him, look, we can make it together: I believe in you. I just have the sense from Kate that she is maybe too much like William--she likes the security of having him as a boyfriend and is only going to go along with what he decides, not push for anything herself. So it might be a case of two people who are both afraid to take the next step into the future, which isn't really a good sign, IMO.
of course that is my opinion. I know some people who think that because William is a Royal he could do what ever he wanted and all would be ok. My point was that who knows if they have that great love or not! or for that matter what kind of friendship they have together ..... My husband is my best friend that does not mean there is nothing else between us.... and I asure you, I know that William is not Joe Smith from acrossed the pound...lol... and he does not have alot of chances to get it right ...but I also don't think it is the right time to sew his wild oats....Everything I post that is not " "fact is my own opinion ...
