Royal Expert reveals the reason behind Prince William and Kate Middleton's lasting marriage

Prince William and Kate Middleton, the first in line for the throne, live a unique life, as they are the first to succeed their father, King Charles, once he abdicates or dies. This long-term goal might be a big part of the reason why the two have remained so strong through the years.

“I think that what makes [William and Kate’s marriage] work is that they both have the same goals and they both have the same passions, and there’s a clear vision at the end,” royal expert Kinsey Schofield told GB News, via Geo.tv. “They both know what the ultimate objective is, so they work their way towards that … I think that they know each other like the back of their hands; I don’t think there’s any drama behind the scenes.”

They have three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. They prioritize their children's well-being, with Kate even declining invitations to royal engagements in favor of being home with her children.
