Certain sections of the media and
the grapevine have gone to town with rumors that Will and Kate’s ‘honeymoon is over.’ According to the doomsayers the royal
fairytale romance is fizzling out, with their marriage nearly on the rocks.
Let’s rebut these allegations one by one.

| Wills & Kate madly in love royal couple |
The naysayers claim that Will and
Kate having been with each other for more than ten years are no longer “glowing
newlyweds.” The detached couple, it seems, are now stuck in a “sexless rut of a
decade long relationship.” A ‘Royal observer’ has gone so far as to allege to
US tabloid magazine Star that Prince William is envious of younger
brother Prince Harry's carefree, bachelor lifestyle.
Nicholas Davies, author
of William: The Rebel Prince, told the tabloid that William sees Harry
with a bevy of gorgeous girls and in his heart of hearts is missing all of it
as he is now tied to Catherine. “He missed out on all the fun once he and Kate
met at university," believes Nicholas Davies.
Well, if Prince William really
knows his brother well, then he will definitely be aware that Harry envies
Wills and Kate as a couple and yearns for a life partner like his sis-in-law
Catherine.
There are other examples given by
the naysayers to back their claim. They say that William, who turned 30 on June
21, has recently started reconnecting with his buddies with whom earlier he
would go clubbing and boozing and after a lull has now started partying again,
that too without Duchess Kate.
The veteran royal correspondent,
Davies told Star magazine that Prince William should have sown “some
wild oats before settling down,” and that one would just “hope he hasn't got
married too young and is tempted by other women."
Fact is Prince William got
married at the age of 29 (well, almost) and now he is 30. That hardly constitutes
being too young to be married. Besides, when he and Kate broke up in 2007 and
allegedly even when they were together, Prince William wasn’t exactly a
single-woman man as he is said to have dated other woman. So does that not
constitute ‘sowing some wild oats?’
The doomsayers to buttress their
claim have also quoted the same source who toldStar: "William is
definitely breaking out on his own. He enjoys a booze-up with the boys, and
he's no longer living in Kate's pocket."
Now this example is given after
just one night that too when at the belated birthday party for Prince William
with close pals, Catherine excused herself at 1 am to go off to sleep, while
William continued his partying till 3 am. That can happen to any wife who is
tired and gives the husband the leeway to enjoy his birthday bash with buddies.
The critics also believe there
are other thorny issues in the Will and Kate marriage and that is about not
being able to spend enough time with each other due official engagements.
Prince William being a RAF search and rescue pilot, his duties include long
hours away from Catherine. In February this year, the Duke was away for two
months posted at the Falkland Islands on duty.
* Well, to this one can only only
say that for any relationship to thrive there needs to be space for it to
florish and bloom, besides both need not be joined at the hips at all times.
A source close to the couple told Star: "More
often than not, it’s a case of off to bed for the night on her own while her
husband is working. Lord knows when he finds time for sex with Kate,” he asks.
Davies believes it is William’s ‘royal duty’ to produce an heir to the British
throne. “As a royal, he's expected to father an heir immediately. But I can
only speculate that right now he's reluctant to get tied down with a family.
...”
*This last conjecture of Davies
does not hold any water. After all wasn’t it just few weeks back that Prince
William very clearly told American journo Katie Couric that he and Catherine are
looking forward to starting a family? This is not just in the print media, but
even there in video recordings of the same.
Davies further goes on to
tell Star: “There have been rumors that Kate has had difficulty
conceiving, but my guess is that she doesn't want to spoil that gorgeous
figure. The flight attendant's daughter is suddenly the world's most adored
fashion icon. With a baby, the glamour would be over."
*Well, the critics can cry
themselves hoarse about Kate’s not being healthy to conceive. But none of this is
reflected in any of the pictures or videos of Duchess Kate. The lady is looking
fabulous and glowing with health. As for being glamorous and being adored as a
fashion icon, why forget the other side, that of a deglamorised Kate
Middleton going on camping trips with kids and promoting charities
meeting cancer stricken children, etc.
Honestly, there does not seem to
be even an iota of truth in any of the contentions made in the US tabloid
and other pessimists quoting the source. What is ridiculous is their claim
about Prince William regretting being tied to Kate Middleton and about neither
being ready for a baby. How does any one know that they haven't had sex in four months! Have they kept a camera
inside their bedroom, to make such ridiculous claims? Besides it is clearly a
case of invasion of someone’s privacy, not to mention being somewhat malicious.
According to latest reports, Kate
Middleton and Prince William have been sneaking off to Ansturther in Scotland a place which holds a lot of special
memories for them since they both studied at St. Andrews University
and met there. In fact, just last week the couple is understood to have gone to
Ansturther, behaving like newly wedded couple taking in some golf, sailing off
on a banana boat and just strolling around the beautiful township checking out
on what the place offers, informs Marie Clair.
Hope this effectively counters
all reports from doomsayers of Will and Kate’s honeymoon being over. It is said
photographs don’t lie. Just see any photograph of the couple how they look into each
other’s eyes, the glow on their faces. That is more than enough evidence of the
crackling chemistry between the royal couple. Optimistically, one believes, it
could well be the start of their second honeymoon with renewed marital vows and
a baby on the way.
