What Kate Middleton Lost When She Married Prince William

Prince William - Kate Middleton

One of the most popular couples of today’s generation is Kate Middleton and Prince William. But the relationship between the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is not normal, based on the standards of most people. From being an ordinary university boyfriend and girlfriend, Kate and William turned into a royal husband and wife, with other priorities and responsibilities.

Marrying into the royal family, Kate has lost her original identity. According to royal author Marcia Moody in her book, “Kate: A Biography” in 2013, when Kate and William’s relationship blossomed from a firm friendship, “some who knew them both had remarked that Kate seemed to perhaps be losing her identity.”

Of course, Kate Middleton had lots to do to fit into Prince William’s world. Inevitably, she made more sacrifices and compromises than her royal husband. The Duke of Cambridge has royal duties, and “any potential partner would have to accommodate” that, said Michael Choong, a friend of the couple from their university days.

“She was still only 21 and going through a period of readjustment, while dealing with some extraordinary circumstances,” Moody added.

Kate And William Had A Low Key Relationship At First

Kate and William’s relationship had been low-key and the public only started to really notice Kate after their engagement was announced.

But Kate Middleton has done well up to now, building a great public approval rating over the years. Kate and William had a brief breakup before they were engaged, but they managed to get through it much stronger. Losing your identity is a given when marrying, whether you are a royal or not, as you become one with your spouse.

Meghan Markle, who married Prince Harry, also made sacrifices and left a part of her identity behind. After dating Prince Harry for a short period, the two got engaged. Meghan then had to leave her acting career, quitting her role in American TV series Suits, and also had to shut down all her social media accounts.

    I love Kate and Prince William!! Glad that even though he is a royal, Thank God he is not at all like his father!! Kate is the perfect person and I think she keeps a lot more than what they believe she does!! She is so much like Diana, which is great for William, because they seem to be doing their own for some of their royal duties and they are mostly in control of their children butting heads with the royals as to what they will not let the monarchy tell them to do!! I believe Kate and William will be the ones to bring the monarchy into the 21st Century and their British subjects love them for that!!! I think they are way better than Harry and Meghan are or will ever be!! The Queen might like Meghan and Harry but the people will turn to more towards William and Kate for they are more closer to the people then Harry and Meghan!!

    I love Kate and William because even though they were raised by Charles after Diana, William still held what she taught them and followed that even against what the Monarchy wanted and was trying to get and that is why the Queen is now going more for Meghan because she is more for work than family, which is not what Harry was taught!! I think that Harry actually regrets Meghan even though he shows his support and is even bulldozed over by Meghan on things that the Monarchy has done for years!!
